In June of this year my family and I was on our way to myrtle beach for a family vacation in my 2009 Nissan rouge . While on the highway my car started making a loud whinny noise and then completely lost power. With the gas peddle to the floor it would only go 40mph. We pulled over and it would not go at all. It was like it was stuck in neutral. We sat for a while and it drove like nothing was wrong. We decided not to take it on vacation but leave it to have someone look at it. They found nothing wrong. It has happend on two more separate occasions now both times on the highway after driving for about 45mins. I made appointment and sent it to a certified Nissan dealership to be looked at. They are unable to help because they could not duplicate the problem. Although I was told by them that they have see it many times before and what is happening is the transmission is getting hot the fluid is bubbling and sending signals to the vehicle to shut down. Nissian will not authorize the dealership to be able to fix the problem without being able to duplicate. The problem is they can not duplicate the problem because it takes a while of driving for it to occur. I called consumer afairs and they un willing help stating the same thing the dealership told me.
My transmission got stuck in 1st gear when pulling out onto a busy road, causing me to have pull over and almost getting hit by other vehicles, when I took it to my mechanic and then a licensed Nissan dealership I was informed it was the transmission and furthermore informed that on the consumer affairs Nissan website it states they have had many problems with this transmission and doubled the warranty from 60,000 miles to 120,000 miles due to this defective transmission, on not just my model and year but over 8 years and 3 different models of Nissans however because I was 5000 miles over the warranty they would not help me pay for the $3586 I had to pay to make the vehicle driveable and secondly what if this transmission would have gotten stuck or went out on a hwy where I was doing 65 mph Nissan should also be responsible for the cost for getting this defective product fixed I call them several times at consumer affairs and they will not assist me at all because I am 5000 miles over the warranty the public needs to know how terrible of a company this is and how dangerous this could be for others who own these vehicles.
