Bought car in 2012 with 64,000 miles. In october of 2017 , with 121,000 miles noticed a grinding noise when taking off took to nissan dealership , was informed that transmission was bad. Replaced transmission for $3700. In june of 2019 with 138,000 miles started having a vibration in the front when taking off in between 1500 and 2500 RPM was told that transmission was severely damaged in the inside, the pump was not working and metal shavings. I am without a job and had to take my severance pay to pay $4,107 to replace another transmission. That did not include the right tie rod that I constantly have to replace which seems to go out every year. Fixing both lower control arms and the rear suspension at over $1200.00 the week before the transmission. This car is well taken care of oil changes every 3,000 miles and constant upkeep.

Cvt transmission failure. At 86000 miles. I was on street and heard a grinding noise and it just popped. It lost power no acceleration. I luckily coasted to a dirt road where as soon as I turned it stopped. Would not go. Had it towed to dealership where they've had for 7 days so far. I'm out 445$ on rental car so far. They pay for transmission but 300+ other stuff I have to pay. So I'm out 800+ $ frankly I dont really have. I know could be worse but this is unexpected $ I had to pay plus keep up on regular bill's. Not right.

Roar and grinding noise under car believe to be transmission / transfer case or both. Drive good shifts good runs good. Believe if something locks up in this , it could cause a accident by coming apart. Checking it out found lots of other with same problem. If they know of the design problem look like they could correct or replace bad parts. Look like nissan did not care about it or if it could cause an accidend and put out a bad design anyway. With all the complains on the web, looks like nissan just pushing it to the back and waiting on time to go by. This has been going on for about a year and half. Just think it wrong!

Car will loose acceleration when driving on a flat highway for no known reason, it will go from 70 MPH to 30 pmh and struggle to move. Pressing acceslerator is like stepping on air. Going up a slight incline car will loose acceleration, after 20-30 miles driven will loose acceleration, at stop signs, red lights will loose acceleration when going from brakes to acceleration nothing will happen car will not move. Car has been driven less than 5k miles since purchased used from dealership. Also cannot use overdrive mode, engine noise is very loud and grinding rough sounds are heard .if using cruise control acceleration issues plus engine sound will both turn up at same time. This is both highway driving, city street driving and always when car is in motion.

Vehicle started with a whining noise which eventually was followed by loss of speed/power. Acceleration after stopping was reduced to a crawl, also grinding noises and shaking and vehicle wanting to stall. I am now unable to drive as I am fearful of devastating consequences. This car was bought new and still owe $6500, and a new transmission running approx $3000 the expense does not make sense. Nissan knowingly sold vehicles to consumers to fill they're pockets putting all at risk and fail to support the defective product!

On the date listed above the transmission failed. My wife and I were in four lanes of eastbound traffic on i40 in burlington nc. We lost momentum in heavy traffic and were lucky to get off the highway. This car was purchased in march 2008. It had a known issue where grinding noises were coming from the transmission. Nissan finally released a fix and my car was updated on 11/30/2009. I believe the CVT was defective or damaged because of a slow response by nissan. The car was 20 months old before the company repaired the vehicle so that the grinding noise wasn't present. I asked nissan for data on failures and - of course - they said that was not available. This issue should be looked into because the catastrophic loss of a transmission could lead to a deadly accident.

I purchased a 2008 nissan rogue sl awd in 2008. I began hearing a noise emanating from the front end of the vehicle at approximately 6000 miles. The noise occurs consistently when decelerating from about 40 MPH to 5 MPH. As the vehicle begins to decelerate, the noise sounds like a rattling against metal. The noise changes to a grinding sound like metal rubbing against metal as the vehicle loses speed. The grinding sound appears more pronounced when at a slow speed, such as when turning into a parking lot. Service manager acknowledges the noise but has no explanation for it and say nissan is aware of the issue and has a fix for it, so I took it in for the factory fix and have noticed the noise is still there. I believe the noise comes from the CVT transmission, and it is probably caused by a defective CVT belt or the CVT belt slipping on the variable pulleys. Either cause could lead to catastrophic failure of the CVT belt and result in an immediate and total loss of response to driver accelerator input. My nissan rogue currently has approximately 17000 miles, and the noise is becoming more evident.

I purchased a 2008 nissan rogue sl awd in november 2008. I began hearing a noise emanating from the front end of the vehicle at approximately 3000 miles. The noise occurs consistently when decelerating from about 20 MPH to 5 MPH. As the vehicle begins to decelerate, the noise sounds like a bicycle chain rattling against metal. The noise changes to a grinding sound like metal rubbing against metal as the vehicle loses speed. The grinding sound appears more pronounced when making a left turn at slow speed, such as when turning into a parking lot. Service manager acknowledges the noise but has no explanation for it and no interest in trying to resolve it. I believe the noise comes from the CVT transmission, and it is probably caused by a defective CVT push belt or a CVT push belt slipping on the variator pulleys. Either cause could lead to catastrophic failure of the CVT push belt and result in an immediate and total loss of response to driver accelerator input. My nissan rogue currently has approximately 7000 miles, and the noise is becoming more evident.

Low-speed rubbery grinding/rattle from front end/transmission. Dealer replaced half-shaft, but did not resolve. Dealer said transmission replacement is necessary, but problem would likely recur as nissan has not resolved the problem. Advised to wait until manufacturer can figure out the problem.

Shortly after purchasing a 2008 nissan rogue sl awd, I began experiencing a grinding, rattling noise coming from which I now know is the CVT transmission. Started at less than 3000 miles, very faint and inconsistent but becoming much louder, more consistent and unmistakable. After the third trip to my dealer about this noise and several other issues I am having with my 5 month old vehicle including a major water leak, they finally got on the phone to nissan USA. The service manager advised me that nissan is aware of this transmission "issue", they are working on a fix, there have been many transmissions replaced but that is not correcting the problem. I was told to sit tight and wait for nissan to come up with a resolution. I was told that the vehicle is safe to drive because there have been no reported failures from this issue. My problem is, which rogue owner with this problem (and it seems like there are many) is going to be the first one to have a transmission failure at highway speeds? I currently have less than 5,000 miles on my rogue and don't trust it.

Abnormal loose/grinding sounds from automatic CVT transmission. Improper shifting on downsloping roads, revving at high rates and not associated with road speed.
