2009 Nissan Rogue: complete transmission failure

Filed May 17, 2023 · Fuel system, Transmission · FL

The automatic transmission CVT is jerking when accelerating and it is a problem when in traffic. This could cause an accident. It is a risk to use. No other vehicle and have to work. I will continue to use it. Took it to AAMCO and repairs are over $5000.00 and can't afford it. New transmission or repair the one on the vehicle.

Loss of power and juddering (shaking) of vehicle occurred several times while accelerating, driving up hills, driving for extended periods of time (over 1 hour), or when the air temperature was over 80 degrees fahrenheit, all while accelerator was depressed. When I tried to floor the accelerator, the RPM's increased but the CVT did not engage. Had to remove foot from accelerator then reapply, eventually after the car slowed even further, the CVT re-engaged. Worst issue happened while on the i90 interstate, attempting to accelerate and car lost power and juddered almost causing a collision with vehicle behind me. Took vehicle into dealership twice for this issue, first time the dealership could not replicate issue. Took the vehicle back into the dealership within 30 days from original issue and dealership confirmed issue and said new transmission was needed. However, not covered under nissan extended warranty because there were not hard fault codes. Called nissan consumer affairs on in july 2018 who said my VIN is not part of any updates/recalls for this issue and would not cover repair or replacement of transmission.

I purchased vehicle new from dealer. At approx 83,000 miles I began to experience acceleration problems. I was not able to accelerate from a stop w/ pedal fully depressed. Extremely dangerous as I was almost in a car accident because car would not move. Took it to dealer and I was informed there was a recall on the transmission. Dealer replaced transmission. Now at 115,000 miles I experienced the same type of problem, except now the car shakes when I try to accelerate. I am unable to reverse or accelerate. I called the dealer and they informed me that the warranty on the transmission expires at 90,000 even though it was a replacement transmission. Nissan needs to take responsibility and fix this!!

Vehicle loses power, hesitates, and lacks acceleration, all to the point of being unsafe while driving in traffic. I often cannot make it up hills and cannot pass cars on highways I've already had the entire transmission and transfer case replaced (in january of 2015), and now require a new transmission control module. The initial transmission failure came at approximately 74,000 miles. I purchased the car with approximately 54.5k miles on it.

I purchased my 2009 nissan rogue in december 2016 with 110k miles on it. In march 2017 I began noticing issues with my vehicle while on long trips. The first long trip I took was in march 2017 and about 150 miles into the trip my vehicle would not accelerate over 65-70mph which is very dangerous when the speed limit is 85mph. The issue did not resolve itself and I turned my vehicle off for several hours and did not have any problems after that. I have been working with the dealership I purchased it from to diagnose the problem and was told it was a CVT transmission problem. After further research I found that nissan actually issued an extended warranty for this issue but did not issue a recall. My vehicle is outside of the extended warranty period but the exact issue I am having is the exact issue the warranty was extended for. I was unaware of any extended warranty when I purchased the vehicle because I did not purchase from a nissan dealership. I have contacted nissan consumer affairs and they have offered to fix the issue at 50% cost to me. I am not okay with paying 50% of a repair for a known defect on their CVT transmissions for my model year. Why wasn't a recall issued on this? This is dangerous. I was almost rear ended twice because my vehicle would not accelerate and I should be able to take my vehicle on long trips without worrying about transmission failure. There is an internal whistle in my transmission and I was told by the repair tech at nissan that this is the first indication of the CVT issue. I will not be paying for this repair, a recall needs to be issued on this problem. There are many other nissan consumers with the same issue and I will be joining a class action lawsuit on this matter as well.

The nissan rogue had a CVT transmission replaced by the dealer after it stopped running on the highway in 2013 with only 70,000 miles on the vehicle. The transmission failed again, 2 years later, while driving on the highway again. Nissan failed to do anything to assist me the second time with this vehicle. The vehicle was in motion on the freeway both times. There have been many issues with the CVT transmission.
