NHTSA Complaint #11155512 — 2012 NISSAN ROGUE

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE ACCELERATION DROPPED DOWN TO 10-20 MPH IN TRAFFIC WITH OTHER CARS SPEEDING TOWARD ME. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE BUT COULD NOT -- PUTTING MYSELF AND FELLOW MOTORISTS IN GRAVE DANGER. I COULD BARELY MAKE THE CAR GO 10 TO 20 MPH TO MAKE IT TO AN OFF RAMP TO TRY TO GET TO SAFETY. MY 2012 NISSAN ROGUE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THERE IS A REPEATED HISTORY OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE BY NISSANS INCLUDING THE ROGUE. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER SOME YEARS AND MODELS FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY HAVE NOT COVERED OTHERS YET THERE ARE REPEATED COMPLAINTS. NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM YET HAS PUT MYSELF AND OTHER MOTORISTS AT RISK. I CALLED THE NEAREST NISSAN REPAIR SERVICE CENTER TO TELL THEM A TOW TRUCK WOULD BE BRINING MY NISSAN THERE. I BARELY STARTED TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED AND IMMEDIATELY THE SERVICE CENTER PERSON SAID HE KNEW WHAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND ASKED FOR MY VIN SO HE COULD SEE IF IT WAS COVERED BY THE EXTRA WARRANTY NISSAN GRANTED SOME MODELS. IT DID NOT. IT WILL COST $5,400 TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION AND COMPLETE REPAIRS WHICH I WILL ASK THE SERVICE CENTER TO COMPLETE. HOWEVER, A RECALL SHOULD BE PLACED ON 2012 NISSAN ROGUES FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM IS PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES AT RISK.
