NHTSA Complaint #11113431 — 2012 NISSAN ROGUE

ON 2/19/14 I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED 2012 NISSAN ROGUE WITH 11,258 MILES AND A 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. I AM A SINGLE MOM WITH 2 CHILDREN AND HAVE RETURNED TO SCHOOL TO MAKE A BETTER LIFE FOR US. MY ROGUE STARTED LOSING POWER WHEN DRIVING, OFTEN WHILE IN HEAVY INTERSTATE OR HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. I WILL BE TRAVELING AT 60-75 MPH AND SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING, NOT BE ABLE TO GO OVER 40 EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON 7/20/18 WITH 116,225 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I WAS INFORMED THE VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY, COOLER FLUSH KIT, EVAP CANISTER ASSEMBLY & OIL COLLAR ASSEMBLY NEED TO BE REPLACED. TOTAL COST $4,000 AND HAD TO PAY $130 FOR THIS INFORMATION! THE DEALER INFORMED ME THE DIGITAL READ OUT INDICATED MY ROGUE HAD LOST POWER 36 TIMES! A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH TURNED UP MANY OTHER OWNERS OF NISSANS WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE! NISSAN HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR CVT TRANSMISSIONS ON MODELS 2010 AND OLDER BUT REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE CONTINUES TO PLAGUE NEWER MODELS AND WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND NHTSA NEEDS TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION. YESTERDAY I WAS ALMOST WIPED OUT WHEN I LOST POWER WHILE TURNING A CORNER. MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR! MULTIPLE REPORTS HAVE BEEN FILED WITH NHTSA WITH NO ACTION. HOW MANY NEED TO LOSE THEIR LIVES BEFORE THIS IS INVESTIGATED AND NISSAN IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSIONS?
