Transmission froze, no forward gear, no reverse gear. Luckily it happened when pulling into the coalfield rest stop northbound on i-55. As i slowed to pull off on the exit ramp, the rogue jerked twice and came to sudden stop. With the transmission locking up it may have caused a serious accident if i were to be on the interstate (i-55 northbound) at approximately 6:30pm on may 14, 2015. Traffic at the time was…

Car transmission makes whining sound. As you drive up an incline it gets worse. Car shuts down while driving. You are forced to pull over as you have no power. After 5 -10 minutes the car will start up again. Car was brought to nissan and they were aware of the issue. They installed an external oil cooler as their cvt transmission has issues with overheating. This is most definitely a safety issue as the car just…

The car went into "limp mode" unexpectedly and does not move. Nissan's older cvt transmission gets hot and to protect itself, nissan has it programmed to shut itself down. As a result, the car will not move, even though it is in gear. This happens after long highway drives (1 hour +) or when climbing long hills. The dealer solution is to continually flush the transmission fluid every 30k miles at a cost of over $200…
