| Description of the problem | This vehicle is a death trap!! Completely lost all power when traveling in a highway . As we were heading uphill, the transmission started making a loud whistling noise and acceleration was gone. I almost got hit by an 18 wheeler as i moved to the lane to the right "slow lane " (trucks). I had to move make my way to that lane and even the slowest semi was traveling a lot faster than my vehicle was . I was in the middle of nowhere on the 15 freeway northbound heading towards las vegas and in order for me to safely exit i had no choice but to risk getting hit and killed by big rigs as i moved to the right and got out at the next exit. Upon exiting i went to park to a gas station and when i hit reverse to park properly, the car didn't move at all!! At the gas station a good samaritan ran a diagnostic and said the error "torque clutch coverter". In other words the transmission. I googled 2011 nissan rogue and multiple people have reported the same issue ! Where they lose all power while traveling in a highway (uphill most of the time). It is unbelievable that nissan has not yet recalled this vehicle !! With so many. War death experiences. Coincidentally most issues start at 60k miles once the mfg warranty is up. This is bogus and a total theft by a nissan to the consumer. They should only sell cars that are safe not death traps like the nissan rogue. They've previously recalled vehicles for transmission issues from like 2004-2010 and claim the issue was fixed in all 2011 models but that was not the case. Too many people are in danger while driving this car and endangering the lives of others sharing the road with these faulty vehicles. |
