| Description of the problem | My 2011 nissan rogue has experienced acceleration problems after driving it on the highway for about 70 miles. If i have to brake on the highway, then it takes my car a long time to accelerate back up(rpm's are high) and sometimes cannot go above 50 mph as cars are whizzing by me. Once this issue starts, it continues, even if i am at a lower speed or from a stopping position. It is very dangerous! I have seen other complaints on the internet about the same problem. I contacted my local dealership and said that nissan is adding a cooler kit to the transmission because they think the problem is from the transmission overheating. They want anywhere from $800-1,200 to install the cooling kit. Why should the consumer have to pay for this if nissan is having to add a kit to cool down the transmission? Obviously, it's a default in the transmission and has happened repeatedly on lots of vehicles. According to a website, nissan has an extended cvt warranty for 2003-2010 nissan rogues, but nothing after that even though newer cars (2014) are experiencing the same problem. Do people have to die first before they do a recall? It is extremely dangerous and hard to recreate at the service department because you have to get the transmission warm and that usually takes a longer distance to drive. Also, there are no warning lights that come on to indicate a problem so this malfunction just catches you by surprise! I hope nhtsa gets involved and tells nissan to fix this problem on their dime, not ours. I will never buy a nissan again and will be sure to warn my friends of this deadly situation. |
