| Description of the problem | With low miles on my car i had a complete cvt transmission failure without warning. It started with one bump backing up. I pulled out and had power loss for a short while. When i tried to pull out into traffic again, i almost got hit and the car bucked as i crossed the road and tried to make it to a nearby parking lot. I could only go about 10 mph and it felt like the front end was going to drop as it bucked down the road. When i made it to the parking lot, it wouldn't move at all and it had to be pulled onto a flat bed. The transmission shop, recommended a new transmission because it would be cheaper than trying to rebuild the cvt transmission. As they tried to find a transmission for my vehicle, they said they found many that were pulled due to damage which told them the nissan cvt transmission was junk. They recommended that i use it til the new warranty expired and then maybe sell the vehicle. I was the only driver of the car and babied it and changed the fluids and ended up trading the car on another as i could not trust the rogue to be safe pulling into traffic as it failed us and almost got us hit. The car is sold, but i want it on record how dangerous the situation was when the cvt transmission went out without any warning beforehand. |
