Automatic Transmission Cooler Problems of Nissan Rogue

This happened on 3 occasions before I took the car in to the dealer for inspection. While driving (twice on the freeway and once on surface streets) the the car began to abruptly loose/decrease speed despite my attempt at maintaining speed by accelerating, the car's rpm meter began acting erratically, and the engine began making a sound as if struggling. In all cases I had to put on my hazards, move over/pull over and I had to turn the car off in hopes that it would "reset. " when I took the car to the Nissan dealer I was told my transmission was overheating repeatedly and failing into a safe mode. They said this was a known issue with the Nissan cvt (rogues) and replacing the transmission wouldn't solve the problem unless a transmission cooler system was added to fix the issue. I was told a technical service bulletin existed as it was a known problem but we were never made aware of this safety issue. Instead of Nissan proactively letting customers know this so that we could fix it or issue a recall to prevent unsafe driving conditions they just ignored it. I was told to contact Nissan consumer affairs which I did and spoke with a woman named "laura" who agreed to pay for a portion of the repair (70%) but would not send anything in writing, give me her last name or document that this was a known problem and safety hazard. She stated that they were at no obligation to either be proactive or cover the full cost of the additional cooling system as there was no recall in place.

I had to have the transmission replaced in August. I originally had troubles in may (car would not accelerate and I had my foot pedal on the floor trying to accelerate on the interstate (40 mph being passed by semis without anywhere safe to pullover) and brought my car to the dealership who told me there was nothing wrong. In August I had similar problems of not being able to accelerate on the interstate and the dealership told me my transmission was toast and I needed another one. They told me that if I did not install the cooling kit, it would happen again. I brought my car to aamco for a second opinion. He agreed that I needed a new transmission and a cooling kit added as this is common with the Nissan cvt transmission. My check engine light never came on and this car was not safe on the road. Nissan clearly knows there is a problem with their transmissions in this model and admit to needing an add-on cooling kit to address. It was negligent of the dealership to let me drive off of the lot in may. It is now December and I am having troubles with my car again. When I first turn my car on, it makes a whining noise with pressing the accelerator. My mechanic believes this to be a problem with the transmission and I will be bringing my car to the local dealership to see. I also had problems with the check engine light coming on in August and my car making noises with changing gears. I was told this was due to the mass air flow sensor. But, I am still having troubles and now I am told it is the transmission again. I am not convinced that all of these problems are not all related to the transmission. Nissan knows there is a problem with the transmission and are allowing people to drive with an unsafe vehicle.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road and had it towed home. The vehicle was later taken to autocom Nissan of concord (1290 concord Ave, concord, CA 94520, (925) 275-534) where it was diagnosed that the continuously variable transmission overheated and a newer model transmission was needed that had a cooling kit. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and opened a case number. The approximate failure mileage was 70,800.

One week after purchasing the car, I took it on the highway where the speed limit is 75 mph. After about an hour the speed slowed to 65, then 60, then 50 etc. , even tho the gas pedal is to the floor. Cruise control also had no effect. I had to pull over in a very dangerous situation. After a few minutes, I got back on the road and up to speed again. This has happened now 3 times in 2 days. . So obviously I don't feel safe taking it on a busy highway. From what I gather, this is a transmission cooling issue and is remedied by installing a $1200 external cooling unit of some sort that Nissan is aware of but won't address(?) I am not happy.

I took my car to the dealership on June 17, 2016 because as I was driving, the car would not go over 80 mph, and the pedal was to floor. There was also a whistling sound anytime that I accelerated. At that time, the car had 50,616 miles on it, and was still under warranty. They flushed my transmission and replaced the fluid. I paid $210. 23 for this service, which I now realize that I should not have had to pay anything, since the transmission was still under warranty, and this is a known defect. I am again having the same problems, I was driving and my car would not go above 60 mph, and the whistling sound when accelerating has returned. The needle also jumps when initially accelerating. I took it back to the same dealership, and they told me that I need a new transmission and cooling unit. They quoted me $6,000. 00 for the repair. The car now has 107,846 miles on it. I inquired about Nissan extending the warranty to 120k miles because of all of the issues that they are having with the cvt transmissions. I was told that my car was not included in the extended warranty, even though it is having the exact same problem as all the other defective transmissions. This is a known issue with Nissan cvt transmissions, I get regular maintenance at the dealership, and the car was new when I purchased it. I was instructed to stop driving the car until it is repaired, as it is a safety hazard.

Cvt whining noise (high frequency) generated often during accel from 10 to 40 mph. The issue started a couple of months ago. The dealer diagnosed it on Jul 23, 2018 and told me entire cvt needs to be replaced. They said cvt fluids overheated and damaged cvt chain. No warning light or some sort of engine light came on. Also they said cvt cooling kit needs to be installed which didn't exist in the vehicle in the first place. Lots of cvt issues reported from Nissan vehicles. It is 2012 Rogue and 82900 miles. It is tool early for transmission to fail. I think this is major design defect or flaw.

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving about 60 mph, approaching an incline, the rpm went up between 3000 and 4000, and the vehicle decelerated. There was no warning. The vehicle was taken to the autonation Nissan pembroke pines dealer (954-949-0421, located at 8890 pines blvd, pembroke pines, FL 33024) where it was diagnosed that the transmission valve went out and that an additional part (a cooling system) needed to be added to make the valve work. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and sided with the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 61,000. Fe.

The vehicle cant handle hills nor warmer days. Any ambient temperature pushing over 80 degrees fahrenheit and it's almost a given that the vehicle will lose power and go into a limp mode; this basically means that its cvt transmission overheats and no matter how far down you push the gas pedal, all you get is a maximum of 3000 rpms but no actual acceleration. Every time it's driven during summer has been a gamble on not if, but when it will happen. Hills of any uphill incline or grade exacerbate the problem. This is all due to the transmission not being able to be cooled enough with the base model of the vehicle. What's worse is that the problem can't be fixed until you manage to pull off the side of the road, out of traffic. This becomes an issue inside of cities where you lose power suddenly at a traffic light and can't accelerate, especially when exiting or entering a highway. Nissan knows it's an issue as they addressed it with the 2003-2010 models yet have continued the same practice on every later model without any fixes nor any extended warranties as they did for the previously stated models. In many cases they suggest an external cooling unit that has to be paid for out of the consumer's pocket. A simple search for cvt transmission problems gives page after page of 95% Nissan similar issues and one or two for some other car company that is a small issue. This is obviously a problem and what's worse is it's a known problem that Nissan is barely owning up to. They are selling a shoddy product with faulty design and know about it.

Was driving on hwy & started losing power up hills. Called dealership service dept & they said transmission issue. Had the transmission replaced about 3 years ago & the valve body & cooling system malfunctioned this time. There isn't a big enough cooling system for the transm & Nissan is aware of the issue. Were 3 other Rogue's getting repaired for transmission issues at the same time. Issue often arrives soon after warranty expires. Dealership svc dept indicated that it happens often and needs to be recalled.

The transmission on my 2008 Nissan Rogue is failing due to overheating. The overheating causes the transmission to fail and the vehicle loses power. I've been told that even if I replace the transmission, at $4000, the new one will likely fail as well. I'm told that the transmission is overheating because the cooling fan is not powerful enough. I'm also being told that this is a known issue with Nissan but they will not provide a cheaper fix in order to profit from Nissan owners getting stuck with a bill for $4000 for a new transmission. $4000 is quote from aamco transmission replacement for 2008 Nissan Rogue. Please provide more economic solution.

I live in the denver area, and my daughter is in college in utah. She complained for the last several months while in school that the car would sporadically just stop accelerating. She also said she had not changed the oil in a while, so I thought that's what her problem was. She then changed the oil, and continued telling me that it would just stop accelerating, and she said she was scared to drive it, because she felt she would get into an accident. Her school is in south central utah, and the closest Nissan service center was 100 + miles away, so I recommended she take it to the local mechanic, who filled it with transmission fliud. I then told her to take it to the nearest transmission shop, (provo, 100 + miles away), and he told us about the Nissan cvt transmission issues, and it would be $3900 to replace. The car now has 123,900 miles on it. After researching, and finding out that Nissan extended the warranty to 120,000 miles, which I knew that the car was over the warranty, but decided to have it towed to ken garff Nissan, nearby. The verdict, replace the cvt transmission at my expense, for $4600. I told the technician that what's the use of paying that much money, and then have the same problem happen again. He explained that now they also install a cvt cooling unit, which is suppose to fix the problems. I let him know that that's what Nissan should have originally done, recall the transmission, and install the cooling unit. I immediately called Nissan consumer affairs, and filed a complaint. They called the next day, (today), and said they could not do anything, and closed the case! the investigator said that this only happened in the rouges from 2003 through 2010. I let him know that that was not true, and is happening to several other models with the cvt transmission, up to 2015! he said there was nothing they could do but to put me in a new vehicle!.

Salt lake city, ut owner. 2012 Nissan Rogue s awd, with a cvt. 2015 oct, I purchased the vehicle use with 96k miles, still within the bumper to bumper warranty (different owner). 2 weeks after purchase during an attempt to vacation, we arrive in st. George with a smoking engine compartment and loss of fluids, loss of speed on freeway. The transmission blew due to it overheating. It over heating due to the poorly manufactured cooling portion of the cvt. Which resulting in the transmission being overheated and "blown". The Nissan dealer in st. George charged my purchased extended warranty for the replacement. June 6th, 2017. (1. 5 years later, 7 months outside of warranty and 124,500 miles) traveling to grand junction. Vehicle started mimicking similar issues as prior, again with the loss of speed. Had to replace the cooling portion of the unit. They upgraded it to the "better" version (the external cooler) that would prevent the transmission from over heating. July 7th, 2018. 1 month outside of warranty for the external cooler and 136,907 miles. Traveling to twin falls. Same issues start occurring, again loss of speed on freeway. Took to the dealership on 7/9 where I was advised that my transmission had went into fail safe mode 111 times. Leading to need to replace the transmission once again due to the external cooler not doing its job once again. Loss of speed on a freeway is a safety hazard. Nissan has recalled other models cvt problems, but not the Rogue. Please help us obtain that recall on all Rogue models regardless of miles. I have contact Nissan consumer affairs, I opened a case which went to review. Subsequently being denied for "goodwill assistance" on 7/10 at 5:20 pm for assistance on another $5,000 repair due to defective manufacturing due to the vehicle being outside of the 60,000 mile manufacture warranty.

The car developed a problem where the transmission was slipping and I noticed fluid leaking. Took to dealer, and I had additional coverage for repairs and break down. They told me the enclosed transmission developed a leak due to corrosion. That corrosion damage is not covered, and it cost $400. 00 to remove the part rather than replace it. The car has a grinding vibrating sound when driving. The cvt is known to have this issue, and the transmission is sealed so you can't check your fluid level and it is required to only use Nissan manufactured transmission fluid. The cvt is tied into a fail safe mode that can be activated by high temperature in the engine. A cooling kit has been recommended but I have read mixed posts as to the dealerships charging to put it into the car. The car has been known to totally lose power while driving if it goes into this fail safe mode or when the cvt just fails completely. Warranty was extended to 10yrs/120000 miles for cvt.

After 5 hours of operation, while climing upgrade near charlotte nc, vehicle slipped out of gear and lost power. This repeated over a series of inclines for the next 50 miles and nearly resulted in several rear end accidents. During these incidents,the vehicle both lost power and the cruise control unexpectedly shut off. Local Nissan dealer confirmed it was due to a known heat issue with cvt transmissions, and an advisory was out to inspect and advise when reported. Nissan instructed an additional cooling appliance be added to keep the fluid cool so operation was normal. Issue is this should be a recall based on assumption that any vehicle will drive at highway speeds for several hours and eventually have to encounter relativly easy upgrades on our highways. Transmission failure under these circumstances is inevitable, and so will be potentially fatal or at least injury inducing incidents.

7 month's later again traveling from NY to PA 2 hr trip 112miles 287s to i78w all highway speed limit 65mph travel 70mph toward the end of the trip lost all power pedal to floor transmission whining this time I pulled over from the right lane to the shoulder went to check the transmission fluid and noticed white smoke again coming form the dip stick fluid seem to be ok, let it cool down for about 15min or so started the vehicle and it ran like nothing happened got to my destination again coming home had no problem, I am unable to trust this vehicle on long trips, so I took it to the dealer again on April. 21, 2015 and they could not duplicate the problem, they told me that the transmission is over heating at some point and going into what they call 'fail safe mode" very dangerous if you are driving at high speeds, but could not help me unless there was a code in the system or they could duplicate the problem, I told them I will be calling "Nissan consumer affairs" ref # 18608068 about the transmission cooling problem, received a call from Nissan on Monday April 27, 2015 told her my problem and she suggested I bring it to a different dealer for a second opinion for which I have done on April 30, 2015 mlg at 45,963 and they could not duplicate the problem as well so I am back to square one and I am waiting to here back from "Nissan consumer affairs" this is part 2 of 3. . .

Twice now, last August 2014 and June 2015, traveling on highway with cruise control on around 70 mph, vehicle decelerates on its own. Gas pedal to the floor, but still losing speed. Had to get to next exit and turn vehicle off for few minutes before proceeding. Second time it happened, took to Nissan dealer. Could not replicate problem but recommended a transmission cooling unit be installed at cost of about $1300, with no guarantee this will fix problem. Mileage first time it happened was 58,600. Second time around 74,000 miles. Nissan cvt warranty extension does not include 2011 models. Ends with 2010 vehicles, although this vehicle is experiencing same problem as previous years models.

Vehicle was traveling 70 on the interstate on cruise control when the speed suddenly dropped 20 - 30 mph and the engine started racing forcing us to pull the vehicle off the road. The vehicle idled properly then drove properly the remainder of the trip. This scenario has happened several more times, all but one while on cruise control. I took the vehicle to the service department at a Nissan dealership. Mechanic diagnosed the problem as the issue in Nissan service bulletin ntb14-002a:::---- 2008-2012 Nissan Rogue; reduced performance due to cvt fluid temperature protection logic the maximum vehicle speed is, or was, reduced by the cvt fail-safe logic after continuous operation under the following conditions: 1)high rpm and/or high speed driving (rpm of 4000+ or speeds of 65 mph [104. 6 km/h] for 1. 0 – 1. 5 hrs. Or more) 2)driving in ambient temperature of 96 degrees or higher 3)climbing steep or extended hills for 6 miles (9. 6 km) or more 4)whine or rattle type noise occurring during reduced engine performance (vehicle speed decrease) ---- Nissan has a known and intentional issue in the transmission system while operating under some very normal conditions. Nissanusa consumer affairs initially told me that the warranty had been extended for this vehicle and the problem would be covered. They have since indicated that the repair for this issue (adding an external cooling mechanism to the transmission) is not covered by the extended the warranty. Looking for some sanity here. Nissan needs to fix the transmission (design?) problem under their extended warranty.

Vehicle has sudden loss of power due to overheating of transmission fluid causing vehicle to go into a limp mode reducing speed to approximately 40-50 mph. Happens when driving at highway speeds for 2 or more hours. Once coming to a stop, the vehicle will not accelerate at all. . . Completely powerless. Have had to a Nissan dealer 4 times receiving nothing more than a band-aid temporary repair by draining some of the trans fluid rather than installing a better transmission cooling system. Nissan has know about hundreds of cases over the course of 7 years and to date has no credible repair, thus totally ignoring consumers safety. T6here are tens of reviews regarding this by concerned consumers. This is a fatality( if not already) waiting to happen.
