My son was driving our 2011 Nissan Rogue that only has 58K miles on it. At first you could just feel a difference in the accelerator pedal and the transmission shifted gears. The car was shaking bad at 45 miles per hour when the car was warm. The gears started making noise during certain shifts in the transmission and sounded like driving over a rumble strip in the road, then would vibrate the same at about 55 miles per hour. The noise changed so when the car switches gears the noises would change in pitch. When it drives the noise is loud and you can feel it rock when the transmission is switching gears. You have to grip the steering wheel. If you consistently drive the noise and shaking would get worse and would make squeaking sound. When breaking the car rocks and hesitates as it downshifts. We first took the car to pep boys and they changed the front axle. They did a thorough check under the vehicle and everything look like normal wear and tear. There were no leaks. The car moved somewhat smoother drive wise, but there consistent mechanical problems were still the same. We took the car back to pep boys for the same issues and we replaced all the tires, brakes, checked wheel bearings, they did another thorough check and the transmission fluid was fine and there were no leaks. They did finally do a good test drive to and recommended a full replacement of the transmission. We then took the car to Nissan for another opinion and they said it was the transmission and that we had problems with the axles, even though we just had the axles replaced. Nissan ran full diagnostics and there are no codes or an engine light and the computer was good. We definitely don’t think these are normal problems. 1. The car only has 60K miles and has regular upkeep and maintenance. 2. It is definitely a safety hazard with the shaking and rocking and feeling like it won’t break in time. At this point it even does it at low speeds. It is not safe!

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 nissan rogue. While driving 65 MPH, a grinding noise was heard. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. When the mechanic removed the axle to add more transmission fluid, metal shavings from the transmission were found. The dealer (nourse nissan, 423 n bridge st, chillicothe, oh 45601, (866) 935-8801) was contacted and quoted a price of $3,000 to repair the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been contacted. The failure mileage was 118,699.

I am beyond upset and down right frustrated with nissan. Both of the nissan I have owned have had the transmissions go out in them. One at 120,000 miles and the other at under 85,000. This is a safety hazard and could potentially kill someone! I just had a used transmission with 22,000 put in and the same [xxx] issue is happening. I owe over 10k on my vehicle and am going to have the hardest time selling this. Frankly, I feel guilty selling this to anyone. I have been jipped along with countless others from what I have read online. The car will not accelerate in reverse and in drive when the pedal is pressed all the way to the floor. The slip light will come on and make an awful whining/grinding sound. This car needs to be recalled and off all roads before it injures or kills more people!

Brought car to mechanic because car was making grinding noise. After checking, mechanic found CVT transmission failing. Car is only at 35000 miles. Not cover by warranty because I had the car pass 60 months. Apparently this is a issue with CVT transmission with previous rogue. Warranty was extended for models up to 2010. Not 2011 model, even though is the same exact car.

On july 5th 2012 our recently purchased (from carmax) nissan rogue sv awd was taken in to carmax (where car was purchased) in raleigh nc for unidentifiable noise where we were told the transmission seals were leaking. The transmission seals were replaced by the nissan dealership in raleigh nc. July 27th, 2012 we noticed an odd whining/grinding when driving at low speeds and then when the accelerator was depressed. The whining/grinding became worse over the next week. On august 6th 2012 the vehicle was taken to the nissan dealership and we were told the transmission seals were bad again and that the CVT transmission needed to be replaced. The transmission was ordered on the 6th of august and on the 13th of august we were notified by the dealership that the nissan CVT transmissions are on back order and the back order is not scheduled to release until the 17th of august.
