18 Automatic Transmission problem of the 2008 Nissan Rogue

Failure Date: 08/18/2011

The car started jolting when starting from a stop and then eventually went into gear and drove. Took it to the dealership to investigate (putting a total of 10 miles on the car between time the issue started and dropping off at dealer - mastria Nissan in raynham, MA). Dealer told us the cvt transmission needed full replacement, but car was safe to drive until dealer got the part. . . It would just sound weird. Dealer called about 5 days later and told us to drive the car in to have the repair done under a new warranty Nissan was offering due to excessive defects in the cvt transmission. On the way there, the car started decelerating rapidly on its own approaching a stop light and felt like it was going to stall. . . Eventually slowing to about 1 mile an hour. . . Really limping along as I tried to make it up to stop light to turn onto a side street to call a tow truck. As I limped up to the stop light, the transmission suddenly switched into la different gear and accelerated very fast and shot me out into the intersection through a red light! I just barely avoided a serious collision and then immediately pulled the car off the road and called the tow truck. I am reporting this issue because this cvt defect is deadly!!! Nissan is just treating it as a warranty item. . . But it really needs a full recall! it can make the car immediately accelerate or decelerate without any action by the driver. . . And the fact that it happens most at low speeds means it is likely to happen when slowing for an intersection or attempting to pull out into traffic. It is also an issue because it goes from no symptoms to full failure very quickly. Please do something to make Nissan recall these cvt transmissions before someone gets killed.

20 Automatic Transmission problem of the 2008 Nissan Rogue

Failure Date: 07/26/2011

On a drive from nc to GA we noticed that we were losing acceleration on every hill on the highway after about 2 1/2 hours into the drive. We could not accelerate up hills and pressed the gas pedal all the way to the floor. As we climbed the hills we lost acceleration. After stopping for lunch the problem seemed to go away until another 2 1/2 hours more where the problem got worse. Tractor trailor trucks were barreling down on us because we kept losing acceleration. We pulled off at an exit and barely could accelerate from a stop. We pulled into a Nissan dealer and turned the car off and explained the problem. They said they thought it went into safety mode but could not replicate the problem. It seems that the transmission overheats after a couple hours into the drive and goes into the safety mode which reduced acceleration and power. Nissan said there is nothing they can do because they can't replicate the problem but they can only do so by driving it more than 2 hours.

21 Automatic Transmission problem of the 2009 Nissan Rogue

The vehicle engine does not rev, the rpm gauge remains at idle, even with the accelerator fully depressed, the vehicle will not move. In situations requiring quick bursts of speed, such as entering a multi-lane highway from a side street, this has placed the vehicle in the position of blocking the highway while fast moving vehicles are approaching. The vehicle has been taken to a Nissan dealership as well as a transmission specialty repair shop and have been told nothing is wrong with the vehicle.

29 Automatic Transmission problem of the 2008 Nissan Rogue

Failure Date: 07/13/2009

2008 Nissan Rogue, sl awd transmission is very sluggish to accelerate between 20 - 40mph, especially when entering a highway from on ramp. It does not seem to shift unless you take your foot off the gas a little, then rmp's go down and the car will accelerate. This has happened numerous times since purchasing my vehicle in March 2009 . Since this car has a cvt transmission, you don't hear or feel gear shifts. I took the car to the dealer and they said the slow acceleration was normal for that vehicle's cvt transmission. I believe it is dangerous as there is no predictability when it will or won't accelerate as necessary when merging onto high speed highways. Danger from being rear ended is high . This needs to be addressed by Nissan.
