2008 Nissan Rogue POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

STARTED VEHICLE AND DROVE WELL. STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION AND WHEN IT WAS MY TURN TO GO CAR RPMS WERE HIGH BUT CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. THE LIGHT CHANGE AND I FOUND MYSELF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I TOOK MY FOOT OF GAS AND THEN IT JUST SPED UP AND I HAD TO USE THE BREAKS TO MAKE IT SLOW DOWN. ALSO IT WOULD SLOWDOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHICH IS DANGEROUS CAUSE SPEED LIMIT WAS 70MPH AND I COULDN'T MOVE THE CAR TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY FAILED TO ACCELERATE. WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER (FAULKNER NISSAN, 3925 PAXTON STREET, HARRISBURG, PA 17111, (717) 558-8220) PERFORMED SEVERAL DIAGNOSTIC TESTS AND REPAIRS PER TSB: 0918A, SUCH AS REPLACED THE VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY PER A CONSUMER AFFAIRS CASE, REPLACED THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY, ONE COOLANT RING, ONE GASKET, THE OIL PAN SEAL LIP, RESET THE FLUID LEVEL, AND OTHER REPAIRS; HOWEVER, THEY FAILED TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY. IN ADDITION, IT WAS STATED THAT THE TSB: 14002A REPAIR OF THE OIL COOLER KIT AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE DEALER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE CVT WARRANTY EXTENSION; HOWEVER, THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE REPAIRS WERE NOT RELATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT THE DEALER FAILED TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT ISSUED A TRANSMISSION RECALL, BUT ISSUED EIGHT TSBS FOR THE POWER TRAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,449.

OUR CAR INITIALLY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FROM THE LIGHTS, SEEMED LIKE IT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. THANKFULLY WE WERE ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AS IT WAS ON CA 99 , A PRETTY BUSY ROAD. AFTER A RESTART IT SEEMED FINE, UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN WE WERE DRIVING HOME TO SOUTH LAKE TAHOE. THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 3000RPM, PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS AS WE WERE DRIVING UP A MOUNTAIN ROAD AT NIGHT . SINCE THEN WE HAVE DRIVEN IT VERY LITTLE, BUT IT JOLTS REGULARLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SUCH SYMPTOMS AND THE SECOND TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE. THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 69273 MILES, VEHICLE NOW HAS129000.

THE CAR LOSES POWER DUE TO CVT MALFUNCTION AFTER DRIVING FOR 40 MINUTES ON HIGHWAY. THECAR WILL NOT GO PAST 50-55. ALSO WILL NOT MOVE AFTER STOPPING AFTER DRIVING ON HIGHWAY.

AFTER HIGHWAY DRIVING WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT VEHICLE HAS NO POWER UPON RESUMING DRIVING

I WAS DRIVING DOWN HUNT HIGHWAY GOING 45 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I STARTED TO COME UP A HILL AND THE CAR CAME TO A NEAR COMPLETE STOP WITH NO WARNING BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION BINDING UP CAUSING ME TO ALMOST BE REAR ENDED AND MY TIRES TO SKID A LITTLE TILL I PUSHED ON THE BRAKES TO TRY AND WARN PEOPLE BEHIND ME AND HAD TO EXIT THE ROADWAY INTO A DIRT FARM FIELD TO AVOID BEING HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *TR

AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND BEGAN DECELERATING RAPIDLY. AFTER PUSHING THE GAS MULTIPLE TIMES, THE VEHICLE REMAINED UNRESPONSIVE AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 20MPH WHICH WAS VERY DANGEROUS IN AN 80 MPH SPEED ZONE ON A STATE HIGHWAY. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE FOR 30 MINUTES. UPON STARTING IT UP AGAIN AND CONTINUING ON MY TRIP, THE VEHICLE REPEATED THE PROBLEM WITHIN ANOTHER HOUR OF DRIVING. WHEN THIS OCCURS NOW, VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE FROM A FULL STOP. THIS IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS IN TOLL BOOTHS OR RED LIGHTS, AS OTHER CARS TAKE THE LIBERTY OF DRIVING BY AS I AM PUMPING THE GAS. RANDOMLY THE CAR WILL KICK BACK INTO GEAR AND JUT OUT INTO TRAFFIC, WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED TWO DIFFERENT ACCIDENTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S SPEED SUDDENLY DECREASED. THE CONTACT DROVE ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE, SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND CONTINUED DRIVING; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000...UPDATED 09-09-14 *BF

WHILE ME AND MY CHILD WERE TRAVELING UPHILL ON A BUSY FREEWAY, I NOTICED THE CAR WAS DECELERATING. NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED ON THE PEDAL TO INCREASE THE SPEED, THE CAR CONTINUED TO SLOW DOWN. MANY CARS BEHIND US HAD TO SWERVE FROM HITTING US AND HONKED FOR US TO MOVE OUT OF THEIR WAY. UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS BEYOND MY CONTROL AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. A COUPLE OF GUYS HAD TO MOVE OUR VEHICLE OUT OF HARMS WAY. IT WAS VERY STRESSFUL AND DANGEROUS. I'M SO GLAD WE WERE NOT HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I ENDED UP REPLACING THAT TRANSMISSION WITH A USED LOW MILEAGE TRANSMISSION WHICH WORKED FOR A WHILE. IT IS GOING ON A YEAR AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AGAIN. I'VE ALREADY SPENT THOUSANDS ON THIS PART ALONE. IS THERE ANYTHING ANYONE CAN DO ABOUT THIS FAULTY PRODUCT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND ANY MORE MONEY ON ANOTHER FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSION THAT WILL GO BAD AGAIN. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS, ROGUE WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN TRYING TO GO FROM STOPPED POSITION. NO POWER TO GO UPHILL OR PULL INTO TRAFFIC. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, ONLY OCCASIONALLY, BUT IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN. YESTERDAY, CAR DID THIS WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEED OF 55+ MPH. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT SLOWED WHILE ALREADY AT HIGH SPEED. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS VEHICEL AND WE ARE PARKING IT FOR NOW AS THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INCIDENCES WHERE SHE HAS ALMOST BEEN HIT BY ONCOMING CARS. *TR

THIS INVOLVES A NISSAN ROGUE S 2008 WE PURCHASED NEW FROM THE DEALER. AT APPROXIMATELY 55,000 MILES WHILE ON A TRIP TO DESTIN, FL OUR CVT TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION ON THE HIGHWAY. IT CAUSED CAR TO LOSE SPEED, NO LONGER PULL, IDLE ERRATICALLY, AND NOT BE ABLE TO GET UP TO SPEEDS OVER 55 MILES AN HOUR. IT WOULD ALSO NOT PULL OFF FROM STOPS BUT RATHER JUST COAST OUT INTO THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, LEAVING THE DRIVER WITHOUT CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WE WERE INSTRUCTED BY THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO LIMP THE CAR BACK TO ATLANTA SO THEY COULD REPLACE THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND STATED THEY KNEW IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THOSE PARTICULAR CVT'S. ONCE WE GOT THE CAR BACK, NISSAN EXPLAINED THAT THEY HAD INSTALLED A NEWER MODEL OF CVT IN OUR CAR AND THAT IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. NOW, JUNE 23, 2012, OUR CAR IS BACK AT THE DEALER WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE CAR NOW HAS 102,00 MILES. THIS TIME WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE WHEN THE CVT BEGINS TO ACT UP. SYMPTOMS INCLUDED LOSS OF POWER, LOSS OF SPEED AND IDLE LEAVING US UNABLE TO SWITCH LANES AND GET OFF HIGHWAY DUE TO LACK OF PULL AND POWER. THE CARS IDLE OR RPM BEGINS TO JUMP ERRATICALLY AND REDLINING CAUSING THE CAR TO LUNGE FORWARD UNCONTROLLABLY AND THEN LOSE POWER BACK AND FORTH. NOW IMAGINE THIS ALL WHILE YOUR WIFE AND THREE DAUGHTERS (AGES 9, 4, AND 9 MONTHS) ARE IN THE BACK SEAT. VIRTUALLY HAVING NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR WHILE OTHER VEHICLES SPEED BY AT 70 MPH TRYING TO AVOID SMASHING YOU TO PIECES. THIS TIME THERE IS NO LIMPING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. BARELY ABLE TO MAKE IT OFF THE HIGHWAY, THE CVT IS SEVERELY DAMAGED AND INOPERABLE. CVT FLUID IS DRAINING RAPIDLY OUT OF SEVERAL DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. AS WELL, THE ENTIRE BODY OF THE CAR IS COATED IN TRANS FLUID AND SMOKE BILLOWING OUT OF THE HOOD DUE TO THE FLUID COATING THE ENGINE TOO. *TR

3 TIMES NOW MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE HAS HAD ACCELERATION PROBLEMS ON THE HIGHWAY. IT HAPPENED THE 1ST TIME ON AUG. 20, 2011 THEN AGAIN ON SEPT. 5, 2011. BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, AT 60-65MPH WHEN SUDDENLY, THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 40MPH EVEN WHEN THE GAS PEDEL WAS FLOORED. I HAVE READ ONLINE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I FEEL THIS CAR IS UNSAFE-AS YOU CAN NOT MOVE THE CAR UP TO SPEED TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE NISSAN DEALER ON SEPT. 10-BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR
