Description of the problem | While driving on 101 north passing through santa rosa, ca on may 29, 2017 going the highway speed limit of 65mph, my 2013 nissan rogue was struggling to get up a small incline when the mph suddenly dropped to 30 and i could not get the car to go any faster. The road was packed with cars as it was memorial day weekend. I had 3 children in my car. We barely made it over to the shoulder when the car completely went dead. It was absolute sheer luck that there was no accident. Cars were swerving all around me to avoid hitting me. I was in the far left lane and had to cross over 2 other lanes (going 30 mph on the highway) to get to the shoulder. My car is only 3 years old and has 85,000 miles on it. My dealer said "this type of problem is common" with this model. I googled "2013 rogue cvt transmission problems" and found hundreds of similar complaints: this happens on the highway, at highway speeds. This does not seem to happen on surface roads. This is very, very dangerous. The company was besieged with cvt complaints and fixed their 2010 and 2011 models, but this problem is still happening with all subsequent rogue models. People need to know about this. |
