4 Differential Unit problem of the 2016 Nissan Rogue

Failure Date: 06/02/2020

Car began losing power when accelerating and shuttering before finally catching gear and moving. Car would also exhibit a "whining or whirling" noise when accelerating. Eventually the car began vibrating from the back end at approximately 60 mph. Took car to abc Nissan in phoenix and they diagnosed with failing rear differential. Was advised to contact Nissan customer care as car was 4 years old and 70,000 miles. Customer care dragged out a "nothing we can do for you" response" for nearly 1 month. This is a very dangerous problem when turning into traffic as intermittently, the car will not accelerate when making a turn. I am worried now that the notorious cvt transmission will go out next.

5 Differential Unit problem of the 2012 Nissan Rogue

Failure Date: 08/26/2019

Cvt; bought used; had a transmission which had overheated in excess of 50 times per the dealer. Transmission fluid exchange performed after vehicle purchase and burned up within two weeks. Cvt was diagnosed and was replaced at a cost of 5698 dollars. Nissan failed to place an oil cooler on the 2012 Nissan transmissions which has lead to these transmissions experiencing failure due to overheating. Nissan refuses to recall the Rogue for placement of an oil cooler which would prevent future problems such as the one I have had. The car lost power going west on a major highway and was placed in a position where an accident could have happened due to the speed of other cars. The transmission fluid burnt up and the differential was dysfunctional and making noises while in motion.

7 Differential Unit problem of the 2012 Nissan Rogue

Failure Date: 04/09/2019

I was hearing a strange noise when I would take my foot off the excelerator I would hear any loud fluttering sound. Brought it into Nissan service. I was told it was the front differential case. As a researched I found that this is a common problem in my vehicle that ended up as a dangerous problem. Although mine was caught before I had a serious accident they cost for a repair is over $3500. If this is a common problem why is Nissan still putting these cars on the road with this problem?.
