| Description of the problem | While driving my 2012 nissan rogue back to nj from md, my car began to slow down even while i was stepping on the acceleration. Rpms would soar up any time i stepped on the pedal so i pulled over to the side of the road, let the car cool for a few minutes then tried to start it up again and as i stepped on the pedal the car barely accelerated (just inched along), leaving me to call aaa and have it towed back to nj. The car was brought to a nissan dealership, the next day i received a call that my transmission needs to be replaced. The car is only 3. 5 years old (well taken care of) and even though it has 77,000 miles on it, a car as new as this one shouldn't be having transmission problems. I contacted nissan consumer affairs and after going back and forth with them a few times they decided they are not going to help me because the car is out of warranty, mind you back in 2003-2010 they put out an extended warranty program on all nissan rogues due to transmission problems, so they acknowledged the issue then i don't understand why they aren't acknowledging the issue now. I am still paying the car off and now they expect me to pay $4,000 to have the trans fixed. After researching this i have found that the cvt transmissions in nissan cars is not an uncommon problem, actually a very common issue. There needs to be a recall on this! Looking for any help i can get on this because the transmission is a very expensive fix! |
