After the vehicle gets warm the transmission will intermittently whine (started after 50,000 miles. It increases with speed and is most noticeable with the window open. It also starts to loose power if you continue to drive it. If you park and let the truck sit for a few minutes the whining stops. Took it to the dealer today and they say they cannot do anything about it. I also had a 2010 nissan rogue which did the…

When driving the cvt transmission will overheat and lose all power, usually while you are driving on the freeway for a time frame of 20 minutes to an hour or so into your trip, which really sucks in heavy traffic because you can't do anything but hope you get to the safety of the side before you are smashed by an 18 wheeler or any other vehicle which could cause a serious accident. Nissan knows of this and will not…

Driving at 70 mph going uphill the car, with no warning or indication, slowed down to 25 mph. Press the pedal fully would not make the car go any faster. It was in the summer so it was very hot in california. When you on the freeway with two babies the last thing you want is your car slowing down to 25 mph. This is extremely dangerous. Took it to the dealer and they said it needs a transmission cooler. It tool 3…

After a panic stop which activates the abs system, this vehicle is unresponsive to throttle input for an excessive period of time (10 seconds or more). This has been demonstrated to the dealer and a new, similar vehicle showed the same performance. The dealer indicates it must be inherent with the vehicle, no fix is available from nissan. This unresponsiveness after a panic stop is un-safe. *tr

Originally the car would hesitate, bog,only while turning or slightly rolling. Additionally now it hesitates from a dead stop. Sometimes it hesitates,goes,then hesitates again. It is an intermittent problem but it occurs while pulling out into traffic or turning through a light. I'm afraid the car will stall and i'll be hit broadside or from behind. The dealer has looked at the car 4 times and says it's the way the…
