Description of the problem | I own a 2013 nissan rogue with the cvt (continuous variable transmission). While driving along the highway the car looses the ability to accelerate, the engine begins to whine and the rpm shoot way up high. For example: while traveling 75 mph on the highway all of a sudden the card stops accelerating and as if you have taken you foot completely off the gas pedal you are now doing 60 mph, but in reality you gas pedal if pushed all the way to the floor. Nissan is selling defective vehicles in such a way that makes them prone to failure while the car is being driven. As a result, people are being injured and are afraid for their lives. Some are loosing their only source of traveling, which in turns costs them their job. The car does not overheat but when the weather is warmer, the problem is more common. If i am understanding correctly... The transmission fluid must cool down in order for the car to be able to accelerate normally. My 2013 rogue originally had the above described problem in 2016 and nissan covered the repair of the problem. Yesterday, 4/5/2019, marks the initial reoccurrence of the same problem with the car suddenly not being able to accelerate on the highway. Because my car has just under 120,000 miles on it, the dealership is claiming that it is no longer covered under warranty and that i am responsible for not only diagnosing the problem (for a fee) but also responsible for repairing the vehicle. |
