Description of the problem | 2013 nissan rogue... After about 40 mins of consistent highway driving the car loses acceleration power and the rpm's jump into 5000+. The only way to "correct" the issue is to pull the car over, turn it off for a few minutes and then restart the car. Extremely unsafe driving conditions! I took the car to executive nissan in ct and was told there was an internal failure in the cvt transmission. Executive said the issue can't be fixed due to the physical set up of the transmission and the only option is to replace the entire transmission. Obviously the car is less than 4 years old and to have to replace an automatic transmission after that short period of time and less than 100,000 miles is utterly ridiculous. That being said, the major concern is the safety issue it causes to not only my family but to the other families on the road as well. After researching this issue on-line it is very clear that nissan has issues with it's cvt transmissions, specifically the rogue and altima. At one point there have been recalls and/or extended warranties issued because of this problem. I'm not really sure how nissan can continue to put vehicles on the road with known safety issues. To make matters worse they do nothing to correct the issue once its reported to their consumer affairs division. I was simply dismissed and told "this decision is final". The reason given to me was simply because i was over the factory warranty of 60,000 miles. Imagine in this day and age of technology that a major vehicle component like a transmission is only "guaranteed" for 60,000 miles. This is a very serious issue and should be corrected immediately!! |
