I bought a used 2011 nissan rogue in october 2015. On october 28, 2015, after about 2 hours of driving down an interstate, i heard a loud noise. I looked down and saw my tachometer was revved up in the red zone (6) and the car was making a loud, frightening noise as though the engine was about to blow up. I let off the gas and the tachometer stayed at 6. Frightened, i pulled over several lanes of traffic and off the…

The car suddenly began to shudder when trying to accelerate after a stop in a parking lot. This came out of nowhere. Within eight hours the problem became so pronounced that the car had a very difficult time getting into gear and moving forward after coming to a stop. The car shuddered violently trying to get up to highway speed. By the time i got it to the dealer i was informed that the transmission "was shot"

2011 nissan rogue slows and stops suddenly in traffic while driving at 50 mph in center lane. No warning. Would not accelerate or move. Transmission! Thank god other cars swerved to avoid me and the 3 kids in the car were not hurt! It's going to take $4000 to replace the transmission. Nissan's extended warranty (10yrs or 120,000 miles) ended with their 2010 vehicles. It needs to be extended to 2011 vehicles or any…

When we drive our rogue for more than an hour, the transmission stops working and the vehicle loses acceleration. It will happen without warning and is dangerous, especially in heavy traffic on the interstate. If we pull over and let it sit for a minute, it goes back to normal. It is a known problem with the cvt transmissions, but repeated calls to nissan result in being told it happened just after the warranty…

Transmission slips after about 200 miles on long trips. You have to stop and let it cool down before you can go on. Sometimes it may take 10-15 mins. Sometimes you have to wait over night before driving it.. When it happens the transmission will wind and you lose power with no warning. I caught myself in the middle of jacksonville fl on 95 when it happened i thought i was going to get in an accident.
