2010 Rogue - BAD CVT - SHAME ON NISSAN

Nissan is waiting for the warranty on the CVT Transmission to run out so they will not have to fix these cars. They have 2 more years, they are just binding time and the NTSB is doing NOTHING to help consumers. Nissan extended the warranty on the CVT from 60K to 120K or 10 years, but when you take the car into the dealership with complaints they say there are NO CODES, the transmission is fine. IT IS A LIE. In 2013, I almost died in my car exiting the highway when my car lost power. I came to a stop from about 65 MPH and the car completely lost power, I was lucky the truck behind me did not hit me. I took the car to the dealer the same day, nothing was found. I explained how the car shudder, like it has the chills!!! Nope, dealer could not find anything wrong – no codes. I took the car back multiple times over the 8 years I have had it for the same issue. Last year April 2017, I took the car back again for the same thing… and nothing. They change the transmission oil and charged me $399! On October 2, 2018, my car lost power on the highway and would not accelerate over 50 MPH. The engine had a loud whining sound and struggling. I called the dealer and they said bring it on Thursday. However, on my way home from the doctor, the car would not go above 40 MPH so I drove directly to the dealer and told them I was leaving it there. Today, October 4, 2018 the dealer called and said they drove it twice, and found nothing wrong with the transmission it accelerated without issue. But they found my axle was bad and I needed bearings, etc. I asked, what does that have to do with the car losing power? I was told, with transmission, sometimes when the car cool vs. hot it acts differently but there is nothing to be done. THIS IS WRONG! SHAME ON NISSAN.

A transmission that went rogue

Please do your homework on these cars before buying, unlike my foolish self. One simple google search would have given me a clear answer, but my wife and I were attracted to the sleek look, comfortable ride and cool features, and were in a hurry to buy. Purchased the 2010 rogue with 360° package AWD with about 128k miles. After a year of pretty easy maintenance (serpentine belt snapped, no biggie) the car started to seriously act up. Around 142k, while on the freeway starting a fun road trip, the rpms spiked to 5-6k. Alas, the notorious transmission fail. Gives me nightmares to this day. After weeks of self diagnosis, a stepper motor replacement and 6 courts of expensive transmission fluid, the car seemed to run okay. That is of course until we ventured out on a road trip again. It decided to take us as far away as possible before crapping out again - 5 hours from home. Ended up towing it home, and scrapped pos for $1000. Lost about 6k total. Again, all my fault, and my hope is that someone will see this, along with others reviews and stay as far away as possible.

Do not buy this vehicle. I owned this vehicle since since 2012 and I had all kind of issues. I replaced the catalytic converter twice, tentioner, axle, etc... The biggest issue has been the CVT Transmission. My transmission let me down on the highway. I am lucky enough to still be alive. This vehicle is extremely unreliable and i will not recommend to anyone. DO NOT PURCHASE. IT IS A PIECE OF JUNK.

Bought our Rogue in Aug. 2010. Liked the styling and handling. Got indicated 34 mpg on the way back from Chicago to Madison at 58 mph. Dropped to 31 at 65 mph. Cold weather drops mileage considerably. In mostly suburban driving in winter we average 23 mpg, freeway driving 28. The AWD/ABS/Traction control is fantastic in the snow. It's wonderful to be able to accelerate without spinning wheels and hoping they'll grab before the wolf pack descends on you. We installed U-haul hitch, grille chrome, lower side chrome accent strips, and roof rack which approximates the 2011 look. Also installed a compass/Homelink/garage door opener/self-dimming rear view mirror from Ebay which is great.
DON'T BUY IT, RUN!

This car has been a money pit. A few hours after driving it off the lot at 60,800 miles (I brought it used) the tire pressure light came on and has stayed on ever since. I started having major transmission problems and this car has stalled out 4 times, once on a blind hill. Then the transmission totally went while I was driving on the Thruway leaving me stranded for 2 hours, after I was trying to accelerate up a hill, the rpms would rev, but I could only go maybe 45mph... on the thruway... with tractor trailers whizzing by. I replaced a rear bearing 2 times now, but still hear bearing noise from the same location, I can't idle with the AC or heat otherwise the whole car shudders like's about stall and I've replaced the fuel pump twice, catalytic converter, mass airflow twice, 2 other o2 sensors, an axel shaft and a caliper pin. And I just learned that the replacement transmission I got last summer is already failing. With the amount of money in replacement parts I paid for the car twice over. This car is a [non-permissible content removed], I broke down a total of 8 times last year because of minor and major problems, it's not reliable, it's a piece of crap.
