I spoke with Nissan telling her my 2012 Nissan Rogue which I bought new, is currently having CVT transmission issues at 115000 miles. She told me, there was nothing Nissan is willing to do for me after 60000 miles. I am highly concerned as not only is Nissan unwilling to stand behind their product but also unwilling to do the right thing. I have followed their service book and completed all scheduled maintenance as directed. I stated I would be submitting a complaint in writing. Given I have twin 5 year old’s and if we were to be in accident then my husband has documentation to submit I had previously informed Nissan of the existing issue which is also well known and documented. Also, that shall Nissan choose not to honor my request by replacing my transmission I shall have no choice but to contact the BBB and A. G. as I do not want any other family to be injured or killed as result of Nissan choosing not to do the right thing. The issue is, while driving on the freeway, the engine will not go into second gear and will not go faster than 10mph after stopping. This is a safety issue which Nissan is aware of. The way to correct the issue is to stop the engine and let it cool for approx 1 hour then you can drive again.

At 60,000 miles the car had a cvt replacement. 70,000 miles later car needs second transmission replacement. Nissan is aware of their faulty cvt transmissions, but refuses to comply. Car is immaculate aside from cvt failure, not accidents. Used as station car. Car stalled in intersection. Luckily I was able to get to side of road. Very traumatizing

The transmission died while driving on the highway and speed dropped to 20 miles an hour in a matter of a couple of minutes. Nissan has extended the warranty on the transmission for most years except 2011 and 2012 but it is the same transmission in the car. How can Nissan keep using a transmission that is problematic and not cover the repair for all vehicles.

Transmission will stall and/or lose acceleration while driving on the freeway. Will not increase speed, regardless of if the pedal is to the floor or not. If you come to a complete stop, the vehicle does not move over 5 MPH until you stop, turn the vehicle off, sometimes for up to 30 min, and resume driving. This is the 4th time this has happened within 30 days, always while going over 60 MPH, and freeway driving for 10 min +.

I have a 2012 nissan rogue with currently about 98k miles. I was driving the car on the highway going about 70 MPH when the car made a sound from under the hood. We began to experience acceleration issues. After getting off of the highway, any time that I had to accelerate up a hill or from a stop light, the car would stall, sometimes moving and other times it would not. This became dangerous when I would try to make a left turn on a stop light. I took the car to be looked at by nissan who explained that the repairs would be over $4000. Nissan has had recalls on other CVT models beginning with the 2013, and I believe this model needs to be added to the recall list. Additionally, many transmission repair shops that I call cannot work with a CVT transmission.
