2010 Nissan Rogue: complete transmission failure

Filed Aug 2, 2023 · Transmission · CO

The transmission/power train on this vehicle is experiencing common failures as reported by many owners. On my way to work, my Nissan Rogue began to stall and lose speed while on the highway. The speed decreased from 70 mph down to 50 mph. Approximately 5 minutes way from work, my vehicle barely accelerated through 4 way stop while making left turn which posed a high risk with on coming traffic headed in my direction I had my vehicle inspected by my ASE certified mechanic and was informed that my Rogue prompted transmission failure code. He (Dale Baca, Alternative Auto Care in Thornton, CO) also informed me that this was a recurring issue with my Nissan Rogue as well as other Nissans with the CVT transmission. No indication of failure or warning lamps was given on my dashboard on the day of July 28th, 2023.

2010 Nissan Rogue SW pre-owned certified on 2/24/2012; Mileage: 13,403. Purchased SECURITY+PLUS service Warranty. The summer of 2014 Rogue started a whining noise going up hills or under a light load. There was no other indication from the vehicle that it was under distress, no warning lights appeared etc. Dealership mechanic test drove and confirmed the CVT was failing. 6/13/2014; Mileage 44228 per Warranty, installed: "1-Transaxle Assy; 1-Trans Exchange Expense; 5- NS-2 CVT TRANMI; 1Tranmission CO; 1 Cooler Kit-AUTO." "Certified concern, per Tech Line replaced CVT Transmission Assembly, Programmed TCM, Installed Transmission cooler, operates per design." The CVT was flushed and cleaned on 6/06/2018 at 78,882 by same dealership. Miles since new CVT was replaced 44228 - 78882 = 34654 June 24, 2021 upon returning from a trip the car was not shifting properly. At starting of an intersection the VOC light flashes and came on, and the car hardly would go across the intersection with the gas pedal pushed to floor. There were times gear shifting would rev and not shift smoothly. It was dangerous doing only 55mph in a 75 mph on I-10 returning. On July 22, 2021; Mileage 92762; took to dealership for digonostic; they reported: "caused by check codes and A/B counts no code present. Transmission has B counts recommend transmission replacement." "CVT Assembly $4890; front lower control arms if done at time of CVT $650 & drive belt $180.". And, of course, they informed me that the Warranty expired 1 year to the month. However,it is my understanding that 2010 Rogue were given an extended 10 year warranty/150k. My Warrenty book indicates differently. I believe Nissan's Warranty on my specific vehicle is misleading and needs reviewed. And may be considered fraudelant. A 2010 Nissan Rogue has less than 94,000 miles 1 CVT replaced prematurely now requiring another new CVT transmission replaced. North America Nissan denied asst beyond warranty

Near the end of may of this year, the car started losing power on the interstate. It became unresponsive to the pedal and would only go about 40 MPH. It also made horrible noise and vibration. Vehicles going 70 MPH had to avoid hitting it. This happened on bridges in louisiana where off ramps are miles away. Took it to nissan dealership and was told I needed a transmission replacement, no repair parts. Cost $3,800 plus tax. Discovered nissan's extended warranty, 10 years of 120,000 miles, whichever comes first. Car has 101,000 miles but was purchased in march 2010, past 10 years by 2 months. If I purchased in june 2010 nissan would pay. Since bought in march, nissan refused any responsibility. Was able to get it repaired for $3,200 with a rebuilt transmission with 12,000 miles 12 month warranty, which ever comes first. Same type of trans that nissan admits is faulty. Don't feel safe, but can't sell car with good conscious.

This is the 2nd transmission that we have had in this vehicle and it started giving us issues right around the same mileage. I have contacted nissan and they will not provide any coverage. What happens is that when we are driving on longer, freeway trips the car will begin to deccelerate. Once this happens it will not accelerate past 40mph. This is happening on major interstates with speed limits of 70 MPH or more. There is no warning that this is going to happen. All of a sudden the rpms drop shortly followed by the speed. Even pressing the accelerator down to the floor will not give the vehicle any more speed. This is very hazardous, especially when travelling in hilly areas as the car can and does slow down to 20 MPH without the ability to accelerate. Often times this happens in the middle of nowhere so we are forced to drive at dangerously slow speeds until we can find a place to safely pull over. This has happened to us many times, often when passing another vehicle in the left lane. It has also happened at night and since we are not braking there is not indicator to the traffic around us that we are slowing down so quickly. It always happens on family vacations so we have 2 young children in the vehicle with us. It tends to happen more often in hot temperatures but it has happened when the temperature was around 25 degrees f. It has always happened on the freeway while in motion. As I said it has happened a number of times but most recently over spring break. It also happened many times with the 1st transmission which was replaced under warranty at 87000 miles. The new transmission has about 75000 miles on it but I am being told that since the mileage on the car is over 120000 miles that the CVT is no longer covered even thought it only has 75000 miles on it.

My 2010 nissan rogue stopped accelerating properly on a highway. I could not properly merge into traffic. Very scary!!! I made it home and thought it was a fluke. It then began stalling periodically, and the acceleration issue continued. We needed a new transmission at 78k! Flags forward 46k more miles on replaced transmission,...the problem reappeared and was worse! Nissan won't replace this one and was very rude, unprofessional and won't semi the problem and serious safety issue. This was my third nissan, but my other two were muranos and never had an issue. My experience here was so scary and so disappointing with nissans dismissal of this serious issue that we will never buy another and will tell all our friends and family too. You should not buy from nissan as they do not stand behind their products!

I was driving 80 MPH with traffic on a heavily congested hwy - I-4 when the transmission stopped working. There had been a high pitched whine during the last hour of travel and the car just started decelerating. Air temperature outside was approx. 80 degrees. There was a smell possibly of leaking fluid. Took to dealer and there is a known transmission problem on nissan vehicles with the CVT transmission causing them to overheat, etc. This should be a recall, not an extended warranty issue. This vehicle is 4 years old and should not have transmission failures. I was stuck on a highway in the middle of nowhere and it took 2 hours to get to a dealer which was one and a half hours away from home.

Vehicle would suddenly and unexpectedly lose power, especially on inclines or in hot weather. While traveling up mountain road, vehicle suddenly lost power and I was nearly rear-ended as other vehicles coming up the road rounded the corner at a higher rate of speed. While leaving the palm springs area, vehicle suddenly lost power while driving in heat exceeding 95 degrees. After exiting freeway, vehicle would not accelerate and cars exiting the freeway at higher rates of speed had to swerve to avoid my vehicle. Nissan has replaced the transmission on three occasions and each time the problem has recurred.
