Nissan had extended the warranty however due to me the consumer not being made aware of the issue that…

The transmission (cvt) is junk. It is a safety hazard. I can not accelerate after coming to a stop or a rolling stop, or when going uphill. I have 3 children & we are lucky we have not been rear ended or tboned yet! The service dept at the dealership wants to change the transmission fluid, spark plugs, and clean the throttle body at a charge! This car only has 38000 miles! I have explained it until i am blue in the…

Once i depressed the gas, the car…

My girlfriend and i own a nissan rogue that has a faulty cvt transmission that has needed to be replaced twice within the past two years. We discovered that it was faulty because the vehicle decelerates while on the freeway. As the car slows, you can press on the accelerator, but the car will not go above whatever speed it was lowered to. If you need to slow for whatever reason, the car will be relegated to a crawl…

While me and my child were traveling uphill on a busy freeway, i noticed the car was decelerating. No matter how hard i pressed on the pedal to increase the speed, the car continued to slow down. Many cars behind us had to swerve from hitting us and honked for us to move out of their way. Unfortunately, it was beyond my control and the car would not move. A couple of guys had to move our vehicle out of harms way. It…
