2016 Nissan Rogue consumer wrote in about transfer case being defective and rear differential. Included repair invoice and letter to Nissan.
The vehicle began to produce loud grinding noises when decelerating in August of 2020. It was diagnosed at the Nissan service center with a defective transfer case. It is now seven months later, my vehicle has been in the service center four times (in one instance, it was in the service center for 30 days) and it is not fixed, and it was worse than before. It constantly shudders and is incredibly loud now when accelerating and decelerating. Despite being under the manufacturer's warranty it is still not repaired. Nissan continuously keeps placing new transfer cases in my car without investigating the cause for the failure. This is our family vehicle we use to transport my infant daughter and I am afraid to drive her in this car due to the chance that the transmission may fail entirely.
Took car in to dealer due to noise, corporate investigator needed to come in to review, and replaced transfer case. Upon picking car up, noise still there and upon further inspection cvt tranmission assembly replaced. Upon picking up third time, grinding noise easily hears when accelerating. All issues occurred while driving, and luckily transmission did not fail. Concern not only about transmission issue prevalent in other Nissan models including older Rogues, but dealer continuing to return vehicle when easily discernible to non-mechanic that issues have not been corrected.
