| Description of the problem | For a few days i had noticed a shutter in my car as it accelerated. Really since i had bought the car it had vibration problems. I was driving about 65 mph on the freeway and got on a ramp to merge onto another freeway. When i slowed to merge into traffic, i could not accelerate when pressing the gas pedal all the way to the floor. The rpm gauge went up to around 4,000 but the speed of the vehicle would not go above 15 - 20 mph. Because of this, i almost got hit by a truck that was in the distance of the stright lane that i merged into. I pulled in front of him but could not go anywhere and he was forced to make a quick swerve into another lane to avoid me. The internet is full of videos and complaints from other nissan rogue owners that are havin the exact same problems. My car does have a lot of mileage as i travel about 1,200 miles per week for my job as a territory manager. However, that only means that all this mileage is highway miles and has not put much pressure on the transmission. The other owners are experiencing the same issue at anywhere from 6,000 to 60,000 miles. Nissan has doubled their warranties on the cvt transmissions because of the problems that they have experienced. However, by the time i got mine to the dealership the warranty had expired. I was never notified that the warranty on the transmission had been extended by nissan or i would have noticed that i had a problem. Now they have changed parts in the new transmissions but will not admit to their problems in the old ones or do anything to help out owners who are experiencing these problems. Somebody will be seriously injured or killed in an accident if this issue is not resolved by nissan. How can you put this transmission in cars knowing about the problem and not issue a recall? They are a serious threat to other vehicles. Please issue a recall for 2008-2011 models. Thanks. |
