Just bought this 2011 nissan rouge from a private party and right after purchase took it to a nissan dealer where i was told that i need a new transmission that prompted me to do some more research that there are lots of rouge with the same problem (bad transmission) including a close person who has a 2016 rouge whose transmission had to be replaced already (2016 really nissan!!!) nissan will not do anything

At only seven years and 84,000 miles the transmission is bad. The nissan dealer told me that the transmission needs replacing and not to drive far. This is a serious problem with nissan rogue's and has happened to many other nissan owners. After research i found that one owner was on the third transmission, the dealer will not replace again because it is out of warranty. There is no recall therefore leaving owners…

Loss of acceleration with no warning lights there is a service bulletin of this issue ntb16-090. This car with no warning dropped from 60 mph on a highway to a drift, enough to me to get off of the road but only because i was going down a slight grade. Lucky for me there was not traffic or i would have been rear ended because it was a drastic change in speed in seconds. With my foot on the gas it just became a…

On june 15, 2018, i was driving on the freeway and my nissan rogue 2011 with a continuously variable transmission (cvt) started to lose power for no apparent reason, and it decelerated from 70 to 40 miles per hour (mph) in a 70 mph zone. The engine was making a whining noise while revving at high rpm's. I tried to accelerate back up to the speed limit and it wouldn't accelerate more than 40 mph and the engine…

Cvt transmission gets too hot and will suddenly lose power after about 2 hours of driving on the interstate. Press the gas pedal all the way down rpms will rev up but no acceleration. Complete power loss going up hill with the pedal to the floor, only going 10 mph and decreasing, this is very dangerous with traffic going 70 plus. Once it is cooled you can pull out going about 5 mph and slowly increasing to about 40…

While driving at approximately 70 mph on the pa turnpike in the middle lane of traffic, my 2011 rogue completely lost power & dropped the speed instantly. I was lucky to be able to glide into the shoulder without being hit--cars and tractor trailers were flying by all around me. This is a serious safety issue. This issue is related to the cvt transmission which nissan is aware of, yet has not recalled the vehicles…

The vehicle cant handle hills nor warmer days. Any ambient temperature pushing over 80 degrees fahrenheit and it's almost a given that the vehicle will lose power and go into a limp mode; this basically means that its cvt transmission overheats and no matter how far down you push the gas pedal, all you get is a maximum of 3000 rpms but no actual acceleration. Every time it's driven during summer has been a gamble on…

The cvt transmission on the vehicle failed at just under 115k miles. I followed the maintenance plan provided by the manufacturer and had the transmission inspected at a dealer as part of that maintenance schedule. The transmission failed in rush hour traffic on a busy city street, and there were no check engine or other warning lights in advance of the car suddenly struggling to accelerate and jerking to a stop…

Purchased a certified pre-owned 2011 nissan rogue in 2013. Ever since i owned the vehicle it would intermittently pop out of gear and would then reengage into gear and accelerate on the highway and city roadways. When i would accelerate from 20mph to higher speeds the car would jump as if the brakes were stuck. Apparently the cvt transmission was defective and nissan is now indicating to me that although the later…

Intermittently just seems as if it shifts out of gear resulting in car having no power. Most often did this when i was on highway, resulting in me being in high speed highway with no power. Apparently the cvt transmission is defective and looking back, always was for past several years, with several nissan mechanics previously testing it and indicating there was no problem.

It only had 55,296 miles on it at the time. This occurred on 11/21/2017. Fortunately this did not occur on a highway, but rather on a local street. I know that nissan doubled the warranries on the cvt transmissions on the 2008 to 2010 rogues,…

I was on the thruway/highway and my rpms got higher and higher, even though my cruise control was on. Engine was revving up, and suddenly lost power to the car, even though the gas pedal was to the ground. Thankfully, traffic was slow and i was lucky. I pulled over and called geico for a tow truck.
