| Description of the problem | I bought a used 2011 nissan rogue in october 2015. On october 28, 2015, after about 2 hours of driving down an interstate, i heard a loud noise. I looked down and saw my tachometer was revved up in the red zone (6) and the car was making a loud, frightening noise as though the engine was about to blow up. I let off the gas and the tachometer stayed at 6. Frightened, i pulled over several lanes of traffic and off the road. I turned off the engine and sat there shaking. After about 15 minutes, i turned the car back on and the noise was gone. I pulled back out onto the interstate and the car would not accelerate, which was exceedingly dangerous as there were oncoming semi's approaching at 70+ miles per hour. It slowly picked up speed and i drove 40 mph because if i went faster than that, the tachometer would jump back up into the red zone. I made it to a rest stop where i sat for a half hour with the car off. It happened again in november 2015 on the way to visit my son two hours away. This time, the check engine light came on. The code indicated the car needed a new transmission. It is still happening. The check engine light does not always come on and if it does, it turns itself off in a day or two. I commute two hours to work and back a day and with the warmer (70 plus) weather, the problem has worsened. I have to stop halfway to work and halfway back to let the car cool off. I've also noticed a "stuttering", in which the indicator on the tachometer moves rapidly back and forth around the one and a half mark and the car shakes. This goes away at higher speeds but occurs when i am inching along in stop and go traffic. I took it to a nissan dealer yesterday (6. 8. 16). We were finally able to duplicate the problem (and got video of the transmission revving up and staying at 5 and the loud noise while losing power down to 20 mph). Warranty company refusing to pay so far. |
