Description of the problem | While taking extended drives, the rpm's begin to increase and the vehicle begins to loose power slowing down to the point where it completely loses power. This has happened at least six times on the road, five on busy interstate highways. All instances the speed of the vehicle was traveling in excess of 60mph. Nissan knows of the problem with its cvt transmissions and has issued a technical bulletin. Nissan's technical service bulletin ntb14-002d, which describes the issue as the cvt going into fail-safe after continuous operation under the following conditions: 1) high rpm and/or driving speeds of 65 mph for 1. 0 - 1. 5 hours or more, 2) driving in ambient temperature of 96 degrees or higher, 3) climbing steep or extended hills for 6 miles or more, and 4) whine or rattle noise occurring during reduced engine performance (vehicle speed decrease). In the case of my vehicle, these conditions were present in most of the cases (four of the six times), in two instances ambient temperature was not a factor (november and february travel) and in one instance, climbing steep or extended hills was not a factor. Now the transmission seems to be slipping during short, local, trips. This began occurring at approx. 36,000 miles and the vehicle now has 90,000 miles (this report to nhitsa is for the most recent incident on 5/20/19). I don't take long trips frequently (10 is probably the maximum number of long trips i have made in this car). Nissan has identified a problem with 2008-2010 cvt transmissions and have extended the warranty on the rogue to 10 yrs./120,000 miles; the same should be done with this model as well. It is unsafe and unacceptable. I've talked to three nissan service departments and all three have wildly different answers (and prices). I don't which dealer to trust, and i don't know if it's better to repair it or trade it. Either way, i can't afford it. |
