| Description of the problem | While driving at approximately 70 mph on the pa turnpike in the middle lane of traffic, my 2011 rogue completely lost power & dropped the speed instantly. I was lucky to be able to glide into the shoulder without being hit--cars and tractor trailers were flying by all around me. This is a serious safety issue. This issue is related to the cvt transmission which nissan is aware of, yet has not recalled the vehicles with this problem. Nissan extended the warranty for 2008-2010 vehicles, but did nothing to recall later model rogues. The nissan dealership was given a service bulletin (reference ntb16-090) detailing "2011-2015 rogue reduced performance due to cvt fluid temperature protection logic" when i took my rogue to the dealership, the service advisor said the rogue will have a loss of performance and will not accelerate in response to pressing on the gas pedal if the "outside air temperature is 80 and you are driving in a hilly area". My wife & i could have been killed on the highway due to a defect in the cvt that nissan knew about but did not notify current owners. The nissan dealership recommended a "fix" which is to install an "auxiliary transmission cooler" at my own cost in excess of $1,000. Nissan needs to recall all vehicles with a cvt or cover the cost of the "fix" and guarantee the "fix". |
