| Description of the problem | On 10/30/15, i was driving my nissan rogue and pulled out at a light in abingdon, va onto a main highway. It was dark and around 7:00 p. M. And had just began to accelerate. The vehicle suddenly made a really loud noise that sounded almost like driving a vehicle with a flat and then there was an odor that smelled like something on fire. I gave it gas, but it would not accelerate. I almost got rear ended as i was pushing the gas trying to get out of the road and unable to move the vehicle. I had my 10 month old daughter in her car seat in the rear of the car. With help i was able to push vehicle partially out of the road. My daughter and i sat on the side of the road for almost three hours before a tow truck came to pick us up. I contacted nissan in bristol and was told that the power train is not under any warranty. The vehicle only has 81,000 miles on it. I thought the vehicle had a 5 year 100,000 mile warranty, but was told that was not the case. My concern is i was almost rear ended due to the transmission going out. Took vehicle to a transmission shop and was told the torque had literally exploded sending metal throughout the transmission. After researching, i saw where nissan had reimbursed people for transmissions and extended powertrain warranty to 10 years/120,000 miles. It has a cvt transmission. I was without a vehicle for over 2 weeks. The vehicle has since been repaired but there is still a noise and the repairman said that i was going to need to get a driveshaft for the vehicle as it had been damaged as well. I am still paying on this vehicle and i do not feel safe driving it. My husband contacted nissan and he was told it was not under warranty. I contact nissan on 11/16/15 and was told it was under warranty until 1/13/16. But i had to have it repaired at a nissan dealer. Vehicle was repaired by amoco asking for reimbursement. Thank you. |
