NHTSA Complaint #10940386 — 2008 NISSAN ROGUE

I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEM ACCELERATING OR SWITCHING GEARS WITH MY CAR. I PURCHASED IT USED IN 2010 AND HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT UNTIL TWO MONTHS AGO. I TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES (AVERAGING 300-350 MILES) EVERY OTHER WEEKEND AND ONE AFTERNOON, WHILE ON INTERSTATE 80, I NOTICED THAT IT WASN'T SHIFTING AND THE SPEED REMAINED AT 60MPH. THE RPMS WENT UP PAST 4 AND I HAD TO PULL OVER IN FEAR THAT IT WOULD MAKE THINGS WORSE. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND PRAYED BEFORE I WENT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WORKED FINE THAT DAY. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT 3 MORE TIMES AND EVERY TIME I WOULD PULL OVER AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, IT SEEMED LIKE IT "RE-BOOTED" ITSELF. BUT 2 DAYS AGO, IT DIDN'T. I WAS ON INTERSTATE 70 EAST ON AN UPHILL AND THE VEHICLE'S SPEED REMAINED AT 40MPH. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD NOT BE ASSESSED UNTIL MONDAY (TOMORROW). I DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE PLENTY OF PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. MY SON HAS A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE AND HE HAD A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHICH WAS REPLACED UNDER THE WARRANTY. I HAVE OVER 170,000 MILES ON IT AND I AM SURE IT WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS JUST SHOWS THAT I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A NISSAN VEHICLE AGAIN.
