Filed Sep 29, 2020 · Transmission · 74,000 miles · NY

While driving this vehicle on highway and secondary roads I noticed a loss of power and slippage of the transmission. I took to a local shop several times but wasn't able to diagnose. I finally took to a nissan dealer ( mcguire nissan of syracuse ) and they diagnosed as a bad transmission. They give me an estimate to install new transmission and oil cooler for transmission for $5,300.00 plus tax. I then did some research on the nissan and found out that nissan had alot of issues with their transmissions , so many that they extended the warranty from 5 year - 60,000 miles to 10 year - 120,000 miles on most of their vehicles. I contacted nissan directly and they said this doesn't pertain to my 2011 as it only covered the 2003 thru 2010. My vehicle only has 74,000 miles. During my research I read that a lot of these transmissions were only good for 80,000 miles and that is why they extended the warranty. Ultimately I was compelled to get this fixed from mcguire of syracuse and with tax cost me $5,791.54. I believe that my car should have been included in this recall as the issues are the same as the other years that had issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

On 7/31/2020, traveling from ft. Lauderdale to sarasota, florida, on I-95, (alligator alley) around 1 hr in after turning on cruise control, (90+ outside temps), cruising at around 82 MPH ... Car suddenly decelerated to -60 MPH and, pedal to the metal, would not accelerate, continued to slow down. I pulled into a rest stop, turned it off for 20 minutes, then restarted it and used my fixd device and app. It brought up code p0744, "torque converter clutch circuit intermittent". It ran ok for the rest of the trip and the return trip but acceleration was sluggish. On 9/3/2020, same trip, same road, same 90+ temps outside, on I-95, (alligator alley), a little over 1 hour in, no cruise control this time, car did the same exact thing: decelerated from 82 to -60 MPH. I pulled into a rest stop, turned it off for a half hour, re-started it, ran the fixd app again, but this time it said "no errors", and threw no codes. Both times car was ok after being off awhile. No problems on return trip ...but in general, acceleration is sluggish. I stopped by the dealer and the service representative said they could put the computer on it for $139 but probably couldn't diagnose it unless it was happening or some codes were stored, which was doubtful I said no thanks. This is a very dangerous problem! There are over 200 complaints about this issue/problem for this year alone, but it appears that all rogues seem to have complaints about this exact issue of deceleration and the manufacturer acts as if it doesn't exist. Some have had to replace the transmission, some have added transmission coolers with no improvement. I've owned dozens of vehicles and have never encountered this problem before. In mid pandemic with only my ss check as income I don't know what to do. I need to drive up to ny and ma and need a safe, reliable car!

Car started stutter at acceleration and gear changes. At low speed as I was accelerating through an intersection, suddenly there was no power at all after a burning smell. Diagnostics show the transmission has failed at 89000 miles. Reminiscent of the CVT transmission failures in other years that have been recalled.

Vehicle only 9 years old and transmission went out with no warning or any warning lights. Was exiting off the freeway, went to accelerate and it acted as if it was getting no gas. I floored the gas and it took off, then started making a jerking motion untill I pulled over.

Nissan was well aware that the CVT transmission on my 2011 nissan rogue was eventually going to give out. Why only recall some vehicles when clearly my truck is part of that recall. I'm a single mother of 2 kids. I work hard and need my car for work. I have one year left to pay on my truck and now I'm stuck paying for a car I can't drive. My transmission blew while I was driving on the highway which almost cost me my life. Nissan should be responsible for the cost to fix my truck. I will never buy another nissan car and I will tell anyone who listens how cruel this company is. Beware and stay away from any vehicle that have the CVT transmission. I will be reporting this to the better business bureau.

At around 92,000 miles (exactly a month after my 90,000 mile service at a nissan dealership) on 11/15/2018, the transmission failed on an exit ramp of I-40 at lebanon, tn. The car would lurch and go forward so I was able to get off the exit ramp and into a parking lot. Aaa towed car to nissan cookeville where they said a low pump pressure caused the transmission to fail. They replaced this transmission with a rebuilt transmission and I was able to drive the 150 miles back home. On 11/29/2018, while sitting at a red light after pulling off I-140 in alcoa, tn, I pressed the accelerator and my car would not go. I was sitting in the middle lane at 5:30pm on a dark, rainy thursday night. I had to call 911. It took a police officer 10 to 15 minutes to get there. The area where I was is right off I-140 exit ramp. I ended up backing traffic up on an interstate because my car would not go. Thankfully, no one wrecked into me. Since I could not tow my car 150 miles back to cookeville, I took it to the alcoa dealership. Where I was told they would not honor the replaced transmission from the cookeville nissan dealership. So, I am out over $4,000, have no transportation, and have no income to buy a replacement vehicle because of the $4,000 I spent 2 weeks ago on another transmission. I am terrified of CVT transmissions. I am sickened that I have no resources to help me at least fight the $4,000 for the transmission that failed 2 weeks after being put in my car. This car is incredibly dangerous to drive, as evidenced by the fact that I was blocking traffic in a major intersection, in the rain, at night, during heavy traffic. I do not have the documentation with me as it is with my car at the alcoa dealership, but I will be willing to provide once I am able to get to my car.
