Automatic cvt transmission has been slipping and unable to shift to 3rd and 4th gear. i have to place it into "n" when moving then shift to "d" then it would move but still slips when driving only in 20 to 30 miles per hour.

Car started making slight whirring noise when accelerating. took it in to be looked at and they couldn't find an issue. went another week and the noise got worse and starting skipping and losing power when i tried to accelerate after it's been sitting for a few hours, mostly just in first gear. almost got in an accident pulling into traffic and lost complete power for a few seconds, was lucky enough to get into a turn lane before i got hit by oncoming traffic. took it to another mechanic and determined it was transmission and needs to be replaced. they're telling me my car could turn into a giant paperweight at any moment.

2011 nissan rougue cvt failed at 88,000 miles when my son was driving from wichita to dallas. on the highway outside of dallas, at 70 mph, the rpms shot up and the car lost power without any warning. limped to an off ramp and local service station.the cvt had failed. it was replaced by a local shop and nissan says that 2011 models are not covered by the extended 120k mile warranty.

This vehicle is very dangerous to operate on warmer days. the transmission seems to overheat very easily causing the vehicle to go into a fail-safe "limp mode". this is very dangerous as it occurs on the highway, on hills, mountain roads, and with my children in the car. it has placed me in dangerous safety situations and the dealership and manufacturer acknowledge the issue exists but take no further action in correcting the dangerous flaw.

Vehicle only 9 years old and transmission went out with no warning or any warning lights. was exiting off the freeway, went to accelerate and it acted as if it was getting no gas. i floored the gas and it took off, then started making a jerking motion untill i pulled over.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 nissan rogue. while driving highway speeds, the vehicle decelerated on its own. the contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and the vehicle shut off. the contact attempted to restart the vehicle, but it would not go forward or in reverse. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the continuously variable transmission failed. the vehicle was currently at the independent mechanic awaiting repairs. the dealer and manufacturer were not notified. the failure mileage was 100,000.

2011 nissan rogue transmission- i was picking my dad up to go to hospital where my sister was having a heart cath, as i put it in reverse it started jumping, my dad says what is that it feels like your transmission. we go through mcdonald's drive thur and it starts jumping. when leaving work it starts jumping losing power so i took it the next day to east tn nissan they said it was my transmission. i find it hard to believe that only the 2011 rogue is the only one that doesn't have the extended warranty to 120,000 miles.

When making turns car loses power and at times stops completely. electrical issues include navigation system and interior/ dashboard lights not coming on or popping on randomly. moon roof will not open/close unless i keep pushing the button 10 or more times.

Nissan was well aware that the cvt transmission on my 2011 nissan rogue was eventually going to give out. why only recall some vehicles when clearly my truck is part of that recall. i'm a single mother of 2 kids. i work hard and need my car for work. i have one year left to pay on my truck and now i'm stuck paying for a car i can't drive. my transmission blew while i was driving on the highway which almost cost me my life. nissan should be responsible for the cost to fix my truck. i will never buy another nissan car and i will tell anyone who listens how cruel this company is. beware and stay away from any vehicle that have the cvt transmission. i will be reporting this to the better business bureau.

As the car picks up spped it looses power .you can only go 20 miles an hour or less. if you let the car cool down it will pick up speed but 15 minutes later the same thing continues to occure..

Nissan did extended warranty for 10 years and 120,000 miles for the transmission up to year 2010. my vehicle is a 2011 which falls short of there warranty. they should have give this warranty to all there vehicles if they were sure they fix the issue.

With no prior warning as i was coming up my driveway and turned to go into the garage, suddenly, without warning, my car would not move forward when the accelerator was pushed.

At around 92,000 miles (exactly a month after my 90,000 mile service at a nissan dealership) on 11/15/2018, the transmission failed on an exit ramp of i-40 at lebanon, tn. the car would lurch and go forward so i was able to get off the exit ramp and into a parking lot. aaa towed car to nissan cookeville where they said a low pump pressure caused the transmission to fail. they replaced this transmission with a rebuilt transmission and i was able to drive the 150 miles back home. on 11/29/2018, while sitting at a red light after pulling off i-140 in alcoa, tn, i pressed the accelerator and my car would not go. i was sitting in the middle lane at 5:30pm on a dark, rainy thursday night. i had to call 911. it took a police officer 10 to 15 minutes to get there. the area where i was is right off i-140 exit ramp. i ended up backing traffic up on an interstate because my car would not go. thankfully, no one wrecked into me. since i could not tow my car 150 miles back to cookeville, i took it to the alcoa dealership. where i was ...

I was on a city street and when i accelerate the rpm's shoot up to 6,000/7,000 with no power and then drops back off to 1,000. almost as if i had floored the accelerator but without doing so.
