| Description of the problem | Vehicle was traveling 70 on the interstate on cruise control when the speed suddenly dropped 20 - 30 mph and the engine started racing forcing us to pull the vehicle off the road. The vehicle idled properly then drove properly the remainder of the trip. This scenario has happened several more times, all but one while on cruise control. I took the vehicle to the service department at a nissan dealership. Mechanic diagnosed the problem as the issue in nissan service bulletin ntb14-002a:::---- 2008-2012 nissan rogue; reduced performance due to cvt fluid temperature protection logic the maximum vehicle speed is, or was, reduced by the cvt fail-safe logic after continuous operation under the following conditions: 1)high rpm and/or high speed driving (rpm of 4000+ or speeds of 65 mph [104. 6 km/h] for 1. 0 ? 1. 5 hrs. Or more) 2)driving in ambient temperature of 96 degrees or higher 3)climbing steep or extended hills for 6 miles (9. 6 km) or more 4)whine or rattle type noise occurring during reduced engine performance (vehicle speed decrease) ---- nissan has a known and intentional issue in the transmission system while operating under some very normal conditions. Nissanusa consumer affairs initially told me that the warranty had been extended for this vehicle and the problem would be covered. They have since indicated that the repair for this issue (adding an external cooling mechanism to the transmission) is not covered by the extended the warranty... Looking for some sanity here. Nissan needs to fix the transmission (design?) problem under their extended warranty.... Updated 09/11/15 *bf |
