CVT Program Details
Dear Nissan Owner:
On behalf of everyone at Nissan, we would like to thank you for choosing to drive a Nissan. One of the many technologically-advanced features of your vehicle is the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), an innovative transmission that offers smooth, seamless shifting, while tailoring the vehicle's output to your driving style.
While Nissan is proud to offer this technology on many of our models, a small percentage of owners of early models equipped with CVTs have expressed concerns about the cost of repair of their transmissions after the warranty expires. We take these comments about the cost of vehicle ownership seriously. We strive to provide an exceptional ownership experience and are implementing a thorough Customer Satisfaction Program to address this topic.
First, to provide you with additional assurance regarding your overall cost of ownership we have doubled the warranty period for the Continuously Variable Transmission in your Nissan. The existing powertrain warranty coverage of 5 years/60,000 miles will be extended at no cost to you, for CVT repairs, replacements or related towing, to 10 years/120,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Any comments?
Good Luck!
When this occurs, the pcm does not set a fault code because it is a temperature issue and not an electrical malfunction. Therefore there is no record of the limp mode activation.
The funny thing about this whole thing is that the dealer tries to explain this by saint that the transmission fluid level its too high, and will drain out the fluid that its intended to lubricate and cool the transmission. When I continued my diagnostics on my own rogue, I found that the actual transmission temperature was not as hit as the translated datum said it was, but the voltage level coming from the sensor itself was what would be expected at the temperature that I measured.
All nissan should need to do its review the programming and test one of these vehicles with the reported problem, and either prove our disprove my theory of failure in this case. I got to the regional rep, and it went nowhere.
BTW, I'm not an engineer or anything. I am a auto service manager, with an electronics technical background from the navy.
While its always been noisy since day one, it has always functined up until about 10,000 miles ago. I did not realize this car had a CVT when I bought it, but I doubt I would ever buy another one. I driven many foreign and domestic cars well over 200k in my life without any siginificant transmission probems.
How much do these noise boxes cost?
Good luck.
If it weren't for this garbage transmission, it would be a decent car. Nissan needs to dump these crap CVTs immediately, but that would take admitting they made a mistake, and that just isn't going to happen. They rather pay for consumer reviews and pretend nothing is wrong.
My suggestions.
1. Tell your dealer who won't listen that you'll go to the local press, Craigs list, Angies List, BBB, etc. They don't like you doing that.
2. Find out the corporate number for Nissan in the USA and call them, or ask for the Regional VP.
3. Contact the National Safety and Transportation Board and file a formal complaint.
4. Don't buy a used Rogue w/o a thorough Fax Report.
I own a 2011 Rogue. No problems. I do recommend that you use the hand (foot ) brake every time you park. That puts less strain on the transmission.
Please get a clue here. We, the owners who have had problems with the Rogue have been through all the wickets. The Nissan Rogue has transmission problems (FACT). Nissan refuses to look into problems that are apparent with numerous occurances of loss of power, transmissions going into failsafe mode with no Transmission Fault Codes or Freeze Frame Data Records Stored. Even after contacting Nissan, they refuse to expend $$$ investigating something that nobody can prove without kidnapping a technical service representative and taking them on an elongated drive and getting the vehicle to act up.
I have personally provided all my technical data, my observations during operation, my testing results, and my hypothesis to the regional folks and it went NOWHERE. Because the NTSB won't address this problem unless it kills someone, or it becomes a big enough issue that the mainstream media will report on it.
If you are happy with your 2011 Rogue, I'm happy for you. I was happy with mine until it reached the expiration of the extended transmission warranty and then I got the cold shoulder from Nissan. I hope you don't experience this with yours. But if you do, you know where to post your Kvetches. Right here with the rest of the forgotten owners that Nissan doesn't care about. :confuse:
Took it back to dealership today, for them to tell me.... they again test drove it & could not "reproduce" what I was describing. Duh... you drove it 10 miles down the street and back. I pushed the issue, and they are currently keeping it overnite. The technician did mention the Rogue having transmission problems, but my car was "not yet" showing the exact signs, so for them to do a flush now may not fix the problem. I'm still under warranty, as I'm currently at 71K miles, & was told that because Nissan is aware of this problem in certain Rogues, they have extended the transmission warranty to 125K, instead of the 100K.
This is not safe. Out of the 4 times I lost power on my last trip going up-hill, on 2 of those occasions there was someone behind me. They both times had to quick swerve around me, to avoid rear-ending me at 75mph, as I lost power down to 55-60mph.
I am very skeptical based on previous posts that the transmission fluid level solves the problem. We now need to take the car on a long trip to test the new transmission but I am honestly fed up with dealing with the car. When the first incident happened on a long trip, I filed a complaint with the national transportation safety commission so that could at least track the problems.
Contact Nissan headquarters, explain the situation and get them to do something but even then I still don't know if there is a fix. You may get a new transmission but if it is a design problem or other problem that they refuse to recognize it may not make a difference.
is a total disappointment. When driving up a slight incline the engine will go from 2000RPM to over 3000RPM, when trying to accelerate, the engine will go to over 4000RPM with out any increase in speed. It feels like something is slipping. You will take you life in your hands when tying to pass some one on an incline. I have had the engine RPM as high as 5000RPM without any increase in speed.
The combined gas mileage is 22 MPG, which explains the problem.
Nissan is of no help.
I am going to write a letter to the Transportation Board to see if they have similar complains.
Please, if you have any suggestion I would like to hear them.
The dealer I purchased the car from cpo replaced the transmission under warranty immediately.
Currently, I have taken the car to two other NJ dealerships and they refuse to acknowledge the issue. The car sounds like a truck now.
I filed a complain on the NHTS website today, I will let you know if anything comes of it. Thanks for the good info on here.
I have called the dealership to see if they have a loaner car for a test drive to see if it has the same problem, but they have not replied, and I don't expect the to.
I will also file a complaint with the NHTS today.
And my local dealer AV. Nissan in Palmdale CA. not even want to talk to my personal technician, when he called for just one question, the answer was: Are you going to fix it?? well, then figure it out for yourself...Great car and Great customer service...I wish.
The 2011 Rogue is my wife's car but we use it for longer trips. I've always thought the transmission was whiny (always hated CVTs) but about an hour into a long trip a few months back it started to sound like the transmission was literally screaming when I would press on the accelerator. Not long after that happened the transmission stopped "stepping down" and we would lose power when needed. We could still maintain a reasonable speed on level terrain, but things fell apart when we'd have to go up a hill/mountain or pass someone. Once we'd make a pit stop, turn the car off, do our thing, then start the car and get back to driving, everything would be fine. But after a while of extended driving the problem would return.
This issue has shown up a few time since then but always during extended driving sessions and never on the day-to-day short commutes, which has made it frustrating to track. We haven't yet taken it into the dealership for fear that we'd hear the typical "We can't recreate the problem". But now that I've found a plethora of other owners reporting the same problem, we have some ammo.
Have you checked the fluid level under the hood? You can find the reservoir in the manual for the car. Are there fluid leaks on the ground under the car.
If the dealership won't fix it ask for the regional director for service.
so now the whining noise is gone, -------BUT guess what is here WORSE than ever ???? Between 1000-1500 RPMs the whole cars vibrates!!! what the heck?? i took it in and they said they reset the ECM or something and theres nothing else they can do??
im worried because this car is for my wife and 14 month old daughter and ive read after numerous CVT replacements, the engine fails and you cannot accelerate through an intersection, up a hill, away from an accident etc....
does anyone know how to fix this??? please let me know. im thinking of contacting corporate, but it just sounds like its a bad car... E
So strange you should post today, as I have the almost identical problem with my car. You can read back through the thread and see my history of posting. But I got a 2 transmission put in my car in June and it goes back to the dealer today for the exact reason. The car shakes and vibrates like crazy. I will respond to let you know what repair (If any) my dealer does and if it helps.
I'll let you know what happens when i pick up the car if its any better from the ECM reset/update....
That would explain why this 2nd CVT vibrates A LOT MORE than the original CVT that was just replaced.
Does anyone else have proof of this? Please let me know. I am getting a call back from Corporate today at 4pm
Nissan USA has been reasonably accountable in my experience, they should know what their dealers are telling people.
