Transmission Problems

2013 Nissan Rogue SV 4dr SUV AWD w/SL Package (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

The CVT transmission is defective. The transmission fluid doesn't cool properly and as a result most of their transmissions fail around 80 thousand miles with little warning. Very dangerous if traveling the interstate-the vehicle slows to 20-25 MPH top speed. The replacement trans is $6,000 and Nissan says tough luck. I have read some of their other models are even worse and they still use the same trans today-stay away from Nissan-the worst manufacturer in the world.

CVT Transmission

As many others have stated I was driving down highway and lost power. Transmission has less than 70k and no help from Nissan even though they extended warranty on other models for the same issue. The car has been great up to this point. I would not consider buying another for this issue alone. Rebuilt transmission from dealers is over 3k

It's got basic features I wish it was blue tooth capable. But it's not. It's hesitates on take off but drives great when it gets going.

Always had problems with transmission since 50,000 miles where the car wouldn't accelerate because it was in hot weather in Arizona. Changed the fluid twice in the 100,000 miles I've owned it. Now the transmission has cooked itself and no longer driveable. The current trade in value is $4,000 and repair for a rebuilt transmission from the Nissan dealer or transmission repair company is coming in at $4,000 to $5,250. If I would have known that the car was about to die I wouldn't have put brand new tires on or even bought the car 6 years ago. I called consumer affairs hotline at Nissan corporate and was passed around 4 times and on-hold for 55 minutes before they said "they vehicle doesn't qualify for the 10-year, 120,000 mile extended warranty" even though this is the same CVT transmission in the vehicles that were part of this extended warranty because of unhappy customers, high repairs and towing fees for similar vehicles. This is the second Nissan I've owned, and really upset that Nissan isn't owning up to this transmission debacle. I have reached out to an attorney regarding a class action lawsuit against Nissan.

The car is a great excellent quality for a mid-range SUV. The CVT transmission works fine, just requires a little getting used to.
