Automatic Transmission Torque Converter problems of the 2012 Nissan Rogue

While traveling on the interstate between 70-80mph my vehicle dropped to 60mph and would not accelerate past 60mph, then when pulling off an exit scared it wouldn't go past 20mph. This put my son and I's safety at serious risk with having no control over acceleration. I got to a mechanic which did a diagnostic and told me it was torque converter with transmission. The car only has 65k miles. This is insane to have these issues and clearly this needs to be a recall. I fortunately purchased a transmission warranty. Waiting to see what the total damage is. This should absolutely be a safety recall.

The vehicle was being driven on the highway and the acceleration completely dropped. The car would not go over 20 mph! there was a recall up to 2010 Nissan Rogue for the cvt transmission but doesn't cover 2012. The error was torque converter clutch solenoid circuit intermittent. The Nissan dealership said they don't replace that part and it needs a whole new transmission for $5000. I find it hard to believe other vehicles in 2012 have a recall for the transmission but not the Rogue.

I was traveling 70 mph on a highway, using cruise, when the engine started racing and the rpm surged. I disengaged the cruise and the rpm's immediately returned to normal. However, as soon as I stepped on the gas, the rpm's again surged. After this happened three or four times, the vehicle would not exceed 60 mph. Fortunately, I was able to exit the highway within a short distance. There was a traffic light at the end of the exit, which was red and I stopped. When the light turned green, my car would not initially accelerate or move. After a short time, the car did then start accelerating and I was able to once again drive. I then stopped at the nearest parking lot. My traveling companion proceeded to find an auto shop that was open, as it was about 7:00 at night. They ran a scan and determined there was a failure with my transmission. I was over 50 miles away from home, on my way to a vacation reservation. Unfortunately, I had to return home. I was able to drive the car on back roads, traveling about 35-40 mph. Since that time I have had a transmission shop and the Nissan dealer also confirm there was a problem with the torque converter and the entire transmission would need replaced. The car had a little over 70,000 miles. I find this entirely unacceptable for a 2012 with that number of miles. Subsequent research has show that Nissan has a history of problems with the cvt transmission. I also found many, many complaints on an array of websites about my particular vehicle having transmission failure at a variety of miles. I also found reports of the transmission failing while traveling at high rates of speed. I did contact Nissan's regional consumer affairs. After jumping through their hoops, I was declined any "good will assistance". This was due to the car's mileage being over warranty and no previously documented issues with my personal vehicle's transmission.

Takata recall my 2012 Nissan Rogue shakes and makes a weird noise while driving. Also transmission will go into some sort of safe mode even while driving making my not accelerate making it very dangerous while exiting the hallway. Check engine light came on saying with a code for the torque converter.
