While slowing down or turning, vehicle is making wearied broken popping noise from rear wheels or axle.

39 Power Train problem

Transmission constantly jerks. It is constantly feeling like it is fighting itself going down the road. Mechanics have test driven it and can't feel it sometimes or can't diagnose the problem. Been this way since I purchases the car. I bought it with 42 miles on the odometer.

41 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 12/16/2019

I'm sharing a rollaway incident w/ a 2018 Nissan Rogue. The car was in park when the event occurred. I've a fuller version of this, if needed. Details: on 12/16/19, I came home around 445pm. It was raining & almost dark. My son was in backseat & I was driving. I parked at the top of my driveway, front 1st. (the driveway is long/sloped, but evens at the top, still slightly angled. ) I put the car into park, pressed the parking break (per habit), and, leaving the car completely on, I unlocked my home's door. My son was in the car, listening to a song, as I got the trashcans/mail from the curb. (this all took 5 mins, thus, I know that the car was in park, not neutral or reverse. ) I opened the front passenger door & told my son to go in the house. Standing on my driveway, I got my bags & reached across to press the keyless start button. As soon as I did, the car began to roll backwards. The car door pushed me down the driveway. Thankfully, I was able to get leap free, just as the car really picked up speed. It finally crashed into a tree in my neighbor's yard, landing over a drainage ditch b/w our homes. There were only minor injuries. The carseat headrest broke. The visible car damage is on the rear bumper/liftgate and the passenger door. Shaken, I didn't think to take photos or call the police. As I awaited a tow truck, I did not access the car: it was over the ditch, in mud and rain, w/ 1 wheel suspended in air. When the tow driver had me get in to help him move it, and I found the parking break depressed and the car in park. The tow-truck driver may be able to verify this. (the parking break was not completely pressed to the floor. Maybe halfway. ) I have filed a report with Nissan. I don't yet know what, if anything, the collision ctr mechanics will find. Thanks for your consideration. I'm happy to answer any questions or provide documentation.

Twice while driving at 35 mph the car attempted to shift gears but instead stalled in between gears, causing the car to slow down almost to a stop. Gas pedal would not work. Had to pull over to keep from being hit by traffic. I read about this happening with other year Rogues with cvt transmission. There needs to be a recall and repair. Dealer wants to charge $125 for a diagnosis. My car has less than 40k miles. I have owned it for 2 months.
