The car started jolting when starting from a stop and then eventually went into gear and drove.

After stopping for lunch the problem seemed to go away until another 2 1/2 hours more where the problem got worse. Tractor trailor trucks were…

The acceleration is very delayed from pressing on the gas. Sometimes we have had to stop in the middle of the intersection to get it to respond. It happens about every 2 to 3 days and will last throughout the drive. It is still drivable, but is very dangerous. Especially when pulling out into traffic. We have taken to the dealership 3 time already. The first two they could not fix it, the third they thought they…

2008 nissan rogue, sl awd transmission is very sluggish to accelerate between 20 - 40mph, especially when entering a highway from on ramp.

Since this car has a cvt transmission, you don't hear or feel gear shifts. I took…
