My gears started slipping. It wasnt safe to drive but my engine light didnt come on until a week later. Revs up to 6 or 7 before struggling to get up to speed.
Takata recall. This would be my second time changing this transmission. First time was when my car didn't wanna accelerate and got stuck on 40 mph instead of 70 miles per hour. My Nissan at the time had only 50,000 miles. My Nissan right now has over 150,000 and the transmission slipping again. Did a transmission flush and nothing. I've also notice now when the weather is over 96 degrees the transmission acts up by stalling on 40 mph while driving. Even my ac compression also takes a high effect as well. If it's not one, it's the other.
While taking extended drives, the rpm's begin to increase and the vehicle begins to loose power slowing down to the point where it completely loses power. This has happened at least six times on the road, five on busy interstate highways. All instances the speed of the vehicle was traveling in excess of 60mph. Nissan knows of the problem with its cvt transmissions and has issued a technical bulletin. Nissan's technical service bulletin ntb14-002d, which describes the issue as the cvt going into fail-safe after continuous operation under the following conditions: 1) high rpm and/or driving speeds of 65 mph for 1. 0 - 1. 5 hours or more, 2) driving in ambient temperature of 96 degrees or higher, 3) climbing steep or extended hills for 6 miles or more, and 4) whine or rattle noise occurring during reduced engine performance (vehicle speed decrease). In the case of my vehicle, these conditions were present in most of the cases (four of the six times), in two instances ambient temperature was not a factor (November and February travel) and in one instance, climbing steep or extended hills was not a factor. Now the transmission seems to be slipping during short, local, trips. This began occurring at approx. 36,000 miles and the vehicle now has 90,000 miles (this report to nhitsa is for the most recent incident on 5/20/19). I don't take long trips frequently (10 is probably the maximum number of long trips I have made in this car). Nissan has identified a problem with 2008-2010 cvt transmissions and have extended the warranty on the Rogue to 10 yrs. /120,000 miles; the same should be done with this model as well. It is unsafe and unacceptable. I've talked to three Nissan service departments and all three have wildly different answers (and prices). I don't which dealer to trust, and I don't know if it's better to repair it or trade it. Either way, I can't afford it.
I have been having issues with my 2013 rouge. When the car warms up it starts making a humming sound. The rpm go up quickly and experience loss of power. It feels like the transmission is slipping. I brought it to the dealer and they confirm the noise and everything else I described. They told me that the transmission was burnt. They asked me to contact Nissan for assistance since I had 64,000 miles on my vehicle and the warranty expired at 60,000 miles. After talking to the Nissan representative he informed me that they couldn't assist me because the warranty had expired. My previous car was a 2008 Rogue. I experience the same issue at 90,000 miles. Back in 2010, Nissan extended the warranty's for the 2008-2010 Rogues. They said "Nissan is taking these actions to demonstrate our confidence in the cvt technology and to show our commitment to stand behind our products. " after my phone call Nissan demonstrated that they are not confident in the cvt technology and that they do not stand behind their product. I brought the car to provide an safe traveling vehicles for my kids to be in. Now, it has slowly become dangerous vehicle with this issue not knowing when the transmission is going to fail and leave us stranded.
