2010 Nissan Rogue: whining or grinding noise

Filed Aug 14, 2021 · Transmission · AZ

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

My car loses power while driving down the interstate. I could be driving at 65mph then it just slows to about 35mph for no reason and makes a whining noise. If I am at a stop sign, I will hit the accelerator and the car wont go anywhere. I'm scared to make a left turn now or cross an intersection because I'm not sure if my car will go anywhere. I've nearly been hit several times. Nissan is not cooperating with me. I've already replaced the battery, alternator, paid for a diagnosis which they now say is the 'brake switch." I'm tired of dumping money into this and not having it solve the problem. Nissan claims that no one else has a problem like this.

Taking a short day trip, about a 2 and a half hour drive, my car stopped accelerating about an hour in. Gas pedal to the floor and nothing happened. On the way back home it was worse we had to stop almost every 10-20 miles to let the car rest. I just had this transmission replaced about a month ago. I would stop to maybe cool down the transmission for about 15-30 minutes, then it acts like nothing was wrong. It also has a whining noise like something is winding up.

I bought nissan rogue 2010 with a clean title in december of 2013. I started having serious problems with my car in the spring of 2014. I began hearing a whining sound on acceleration coming from the transmission while driving on long road trips. I didn't think much of it up until a year later, was suddenly unable to accelerate when going up hill or driving longer than 20 miles. The pedal was down to the floor but rather than pick up speed, the vehicle would decelerate and was unable to reach even 40 MPH. It started happening more and more often, and I almost got into a car accident several times. I went to different dealerships and found out that nissan was aware of the problem with their cvts and that they extended the warranty to 10 years/120,000 MPH. However, they were refusing to do anything about it because there was no way to duplicate it since it would take several miles of driving around to notice acceleration failure. The whining sound and vibration are normal I was told. After going to different dealerships multiple times and talking with nissan customer service representatives, in december 2016 I was finally told that there's no extended warranty on my vehicle because nissan canceled my car's warranty back in 2014 because of a branded title. I called dol and found out there was a mistake done. They fixed my title and there's no brand on it. Now I got a call from a nissan customer affair rep mr daries who informed me that they are working on getting the brand off of my title and it should take 4-6 weeks but they are trying to expedite it. He promised he would call me regularly with an update. It's been almost two months and nothing has been done. I called several times leaving voicemail to mr daries and never got a call back from him. I can't even drive longer than 10 miles when my car starts losing acceleration and has this horrible whining noise.

The first time the incident happened I was exiting the expressway and after stopping at a red light the car started to make a weird noise. When trying to accelerate through the green light the car would not move for 15 seconds. I even tried slamming the gas pedal down. After that I would always hear a whining noise when driving on the expressway or a prolonged amount of time. When driving out of state to tennessee the car started to decrease in speed on a hill and I was almost hit by a cop. Pulling over at a gas I let the car sit for 30 mins. I tried to renter the expressway and the car still would not move. After a while I was able to get back on the expressway. Once in tennessee the car barely made it up the hills I had to time it just right. On the way back to ga the car began the issues again and while trying to pull off the car decreased in speed so quickly I was almost hit by a semi-truck. I have taken the car in for the electrical recall that did not help. The car has had two complete tune ups nor has not worked. I refuse to pay out of my pocket for another transmission; which has not aided others in this same situation. I have been dealing with this for a year. Everyday it's a guessing game if the car will ever get me to and from work safely.

Vehicle was traveling 70 on the interstate on cruise control when the speed suddenly dropped 20 - 30 MPH and the engine started racing forcing us to pull the vehicle off the road. The vehicle idled properly then drove properly the remainder of the trip. This scenario has happened several more times, all but one while on cruise control. I took the vehicle to the service department at a nissan dealership. Mechanic diagnosed the problem as the issue in nissan service bulletin ntb14-002a:::---- 2008-2012 nissan rogue; reduced performance due to CVT fluid temperature protection logic the maximum vehicle speed is, or was, reduced by the CVT fail-safe logic after continuous operation under the following conditions: 1)high RPM and/or high speed driving (RPM of 4000+ or speeds of 65 MPH [104.6 km/h] for 1.0 ? 1.5 hrs. Or more) 2)driving in ambient temperature of 96 degrees or higher 3)climbing steep or extended hills for 6 miles (9.6 km) or more 4)whine or rattle type noise occurring during reduced engine performance (vehicle speed decrease) ---- nissan has a known and intentional issue in the transmission system while operating under some very normal conditions. Nissanusa consumer affairs initially told me that the warranty had been extended for this vehicle and the problem would be covered. They have since indicated that the repair for this issue (adding an external cooling mechanism to the transmission) is not covered by the extended the warranty... Looking for some sanity here. Nissan needs to fix the transmission (design?) problem under their extended warranty....updated 09/11/15

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.

I was driving on the highway when the vehicle started slowing down. When I pushed down on the gas pedal, the RPM's revved into the red and the vehicle made a loud whining sound and continued to slow down. I pulled over and turned the car off and back on. Tried to accelerate by pressing the gas pedal to the floor and the vehicle barely coasted. Stopped and turned vehicle off. After about 30 minutes, I turned the car back on and it ran fine. This is the first time this has happened while moving. In the past 6 months there have been at least 8 instances where while I was stopped at a stop light or waiting to turn left, I would push down on the accelerator to go and the car would barely start to coast with the pedal to the floor. Then after a few seconds, the vehicle would suddenly accelerate. I'm afraid that I'm going to be t-boned while turning because I don't know if when I press down on the gas pedal if I'll go or coast into oncoming traffic.
