2011 Nissan Rogue Power Train

The CVT transmission started to fail. 1 day it started jerking some. 2 or 3 times. The next time was more jerking and harder. The last day the jerking was longer in length of time. Then the transmission became a little louder. The jerking was constant with acceleration. We made it home and parked the car. I did not see a code, the engine light only came on after three condition became questionable as to returning home. No dealer or mechanic has inspected the car. I'm positive it is the transmission from all i read on the internet.

No idea why. My transmission has went up again. After about 55k ish since it was replaced the last time. Done at the Nissan dealer and everything.

The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving approximately 75 MPH, the contact smelled an abnormal odor after which the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact was able to veer the vehicle to the shoulder before getting the vehicle to restart. The contact took the vehicle to a mechanic and the vehicle was diagnosed with transmission failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 148,000.

I'm reporting the same as many others so that I have documentation. Last week while my daughter was driving back to college (about 170 miles), about halfway the vehicle began to slow down. As she pressed the accelerator, the engine would rev but the car would not accelerate. This was extremely scary as she was travelling on the expressway and there was a semi-truck directly behind her when this happened. A major accident could have happened. She ultimately made it to school taking about an hour longer than normal. She should have pulled over, but it was getting dark, and she was travelling alone. After she called and explained to me what happened, I researched the issue and found that this seems too very common relating to the trans fluid over-heating. The fix requires a cooler to added to the system to cool the fluid. Having personally worked on many cars including changing transmissions, this is not a quick cheap repair. Again, I'm thankful she wasn't rear ended. Nissan needs to address this known issue and compensate those impacted by this. I pray no one gets seriously injured.

While driving, the rpm’s go up but the speed decreases. The transmission is not performing correctly.

Transmission got hot and started slipping transmission does not have a sufficient cooler transmission needs replaced

The CVT transmission would over heat numerous times in uphill drive after 30 miles driving. The overheating would result in sudden slowing of vehicle and loss of acceleration even when acceleration pedal is fully pressed. It puts vehicle to danger because it can be in front of fast moving vehicle. It also makes exiting a freeway and stopping merging into traffic dangerous because vehicle stops responding to driver commands.

My son was driving our 2011 Nissan Rogue that only has 58K miles on it. At first you could just feel a difference in the accelerator pedal and the transmission shifted gears. The car was shaking bad at 45 miles per hour when the car was warm. The gears started making noise during certain shifts in the transmission and sounded like driving over a rumble strip in the road, then would vibrate the same at about 55 miles per hour. The noise changed so when the car switches gears the noises would change in pitch. When it drives the noise is loud and you can feel it rock when the transmission is switching gears. You have to grip the steering wheel. If you consistently drive the noise and shaking would get worse and would make squeaking sound. When breaking the car rocks and hesitates as it downshifts. We first took the car to pep boys and they changed the front axle. They did a thorough check under the vehicle and everything look like normal wear and tear. There were no leaks. The car moved somewhat smoother drive wise, but there consistent mechanical problems were still the same. We took the car back to pep boys for the same issues and we replaced all the tires, brakes, checked wheel bearings, they did another thorough check and the transmission fluid was fine and there were no leaks. They did finally do a good test drive to and recommended a full replacement of the transmission. We then took the car to Nissan for another opinion and they said it was the transmission and that we had problems with the axles, even though we just had the axles replaced. Nissan ran full diagnostics and there are no codes or an engine light and the computer was good. We definitely don’t think these are normal problems. 1. The car only has 60K miles and has regular upkeep and maintenance. 2. It is definitely a safety hazard with the shaking and rocking and feeling like it won’t break in time. At this point it even does it at low speeds. It is not safe!

The CVT transmission shuts off for no reason. The engine revs up like crazy but the power convertor does not do its job of transmitting power to the driveshaft. Turns out that the CVT transmission went into shutdown mode for no reason - I was driving downhill, in an empty car, with no load at 65 mph.

I own a 2011 Nissan Rouge, it has 110k miles in it. We’ve taken care of it since we purchased it in 2015, prompt maintenance (with all receipts) new tires etc. As soon as the car hit 100k miles it started acting “funny”. It would jerk when we drove it, when we reversed it would make a weird noise as well. Took it to auto body shop every time and they couldn’t find anything wrong with it, no error lights on the dashboard either. It only got worse from there, when the second I would stop at a red light the car would turn off, all the dashboard lights on so I would have to turn the key as if I was turning it off and put it on park then turn it back on and turn it on Drive to go. There were a few times that cars came close to hitting me because I was idled at a green light. Then last week on Saturday July 10th, I was coming back home, stopped at a red light, as the light turns green I pushed on the gas pedal, the car wouldn’t move one bit but engine was on. I pulled over to see what was going on, the car wouldn’t drive anymore. Called a tow truck and had it towed to my House as the auto shops were not taking any more appts. On Monday I had it towed and the shop tells me it’s the transmission and quoted me over $4,000. I called Nissan North America after researching that this is a known issue for Rouges and Nissan has been notified by multiple consumers. I was hopeful that they would help me out but waited for the Supervisor to call me back and called me end of day and with non apologetic tells me Nissan can’t do anything about it, that I can take it to a dealership and pay out of pocket because warranty is expired. I explained they have a lot of cases opened because they’re selling cars with bad transmissions and he just asks “is there anything else I can do for sure” totally brushing me off. Buyer beware! Do not buy Rouges. My coworker had a 2012 Nissan Rouge and same issue as soon as it hit 100k miles. My neighbor has a new Rouge and has had issues with transmission

The CVT transmission shuts off unexpectedly and for no reason. I was driving downhill, at 65 mph, in an empty car, with no load and the transmission just went into shutdown. This happened multiple times (more than 5) . I do not trust Nissan to fix it.

WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ON HIGHWAY AND SECONDARY ROADS I NOTICED A LOSS OF POWER AND SLIPPAGE OF THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK TO A LOCAL SHOP SEVERAL TIMES BUT WASN'T ABLE TO DIAGNOSE. I FINALLY TOOK TO A NISSAN DEALER ( MCGUIRE NISSAN OF SYRACUSE ) AND THEY DIAGNOSED AS A BAD TRANSMISSION. THEY GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE TO INSTALL NEW TRANSMISSION AND OIL COOLER FOR TRANSMISSION FOR $5,300.00 PLUS TAX. I THEN DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE NISSAN AND FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN HAD ALOT OF ISSUES WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS , SO MANY THAT THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FROM 5 YEAR - 60,000 MILES TO 10 YEAR - 120,000 MILES ON MOST OF THEIR VEHICLES. I CONTACTED NISSAN DIRECTLY AND THEY SAID THIS DOESN'T PERTAIN TO MY 2011 AS IT ONLY COVERED THE 2003 THRU 2010. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 74,000 MILES. DURING MY RESEARCH I READ THAT A LOT OF THESE TRANSMISSIONS WERE ONLY GOOD FOR 80,000 MILES AND THAT IS WHY THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY. ULTIMATELY I WAS COMPELLED TO GET THIS FIXED FROM MCGUIRE OF SYRACUSE AND WITH TAX COST ME $5,791.54. I BELIEVE THAT MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL AS THE ISSUES ARE THE SAME AS THE OTHER YEARS THAT HAD ISSUES. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

THIS UPLOAD PHOTO BELONG TO THE COMPLAINT:#11355297

ON JUNE 12, 2020, WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN I-75 KNOXVILLE TO CHATTANOOGA MY NISSAN REFUCE VELOCITY AND POWER AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT MY CONTROL STOPPING. I WAS PLACING FROM DRIVE TO PARK, WAIT SOME MINUTES WUTH MY ENERGENCY LIGHT ON. THE TRAFFIC WAS DANGER BEHIND ME. LATER THE SAME SITUATION OCCUR IN SWALLFORD EXIT 5 ON I-75, IN THAT WAY I SUPPOSE TGE PROBLEM COMING IN HIGH SPEED ON INTERSTATE,BECAUSE ON SLOW NOT OCCUR. I WAS TAKING MY VEHICLE MISSAN ROGUE 2011 IAT DEALER THEY THOUGHT THAT TGEY NEEDED TO REPROGRAMMED THE PVC SENSOR OR AIR FLOW. JOINED TO TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID CIRCUIT. BUT THE DIAGNOSIS RESULTED WIRST THAN IT. DEALER SAID ME I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. U VERY UPPSET WITH NISSAN BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS NOT OLD MILES WITH THE CHANGE IF OIL ALL THE TIME. I CHANGE THE OIL TRANSMISSION ON DEALER PAID $156.00 AND THEY TOLD ME I NEED TO PAY $3820 FOR TRANSMISSION. THERE IS SOMRTHING WRONG AND NOT ETHIC WITH TGE CUSTOMER. THE CAR IS A NEED AND THE NISSAN SHOULD BE MORE HONEST WHEN THEY CHECK THE VEHICLE THE DEALERS AND MORE WHEN THE PARTS ARE DONE TO BE CHECK OR VERIFIED IN THE AUTHORIZED OR CERTIFIED NISSAN MECHANICS. I ASK YOU FOR BE FAIR AND CONSCIENCE IN MY SITUATION BECAUSE I DONT BELIEVE IN THIS KIND OF ATTENTION FOR NISSAN TOWARDS CUSTOMER AFTER ALREADY PAID MONTHLY A VEHICLE. THE RECOMENDATION TOWARD THIS COMPANY WILL BE VERY NEGATIVE DEFINITIVELY REVIEWS -10.

WHEN DRIVING UPHILL THE DAMAGED TORQUE CONVERTER CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO BADLY OVERHEAT, ONLY ALLOWING THE CAR TO GO 40 MPH. THE TORQUE COVERTER TRANSMISSION ISSUES CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BECOME A HAZARD ON THE ROAD BECAUSE OF THE SLOW SPEED.

THE ENGINE LOSING POWER WHEN RPM REACH 3. *TR

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO OVER 40 MILES PER HOUR MAKES A NOISE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP TOOK IT TO THE SHOP HE SAID PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION (TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID .. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE SPEED OF 70M/H THEN THE CAR STARTED MAKING THE NOISE AND RPM WENT UP TO 4 AND IT WONT GO OVER 40 . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, SHE HEARD AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DROVE TO HER DESTINATION WITH THE SOUND STILL PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REFERRED THE CONTACT TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT METAL SHAVINGS WERE FOUND IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

CAR WON'T GO OVER 40 WITHOUT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. BLOWING CODES FOR THE TRANSMISSION THAT NISSAN KNOWS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION. MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY REFUSE TO RECALL THE TRANSMISSION, ACKNOWLEDGE THEY ARE THE PROBLEM.

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.

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.

THE CAR HAS 88500 MIKES, IT STARTS TO SHAKE WHEN I ACELARATE THE CAR , GOING OUT OF CONTROL , OR LOSING THE POWER WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHT , ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH, HIT IN THE BACK BY ANOTHER CAR

CAR STARTED STUTTER AT ACCELERATION AND GEAR CHANGES. AT LOW SPEED AS I WAS ACCELERATING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, SUDDENLY THERE WAS NO POWER AT ALL AFTER A BURNING SMELL. DIAGNOSTICS SHOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AT 89000 MILES. REMINISCENT OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURES IN OTHER YEARS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED.

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.
