NHTSA Complaint #11361699 — 2011 NISSAN ROGUE

WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ON HIGHWAY AND SECONDARY ROADS I NOTICED A LOSS OF POWER AND SLIPPAGE OF THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK TO A LOCAL SHOP SEVERAL TIMES BUT WASN'T ABLE TO DIAGNOSE. I FINALLY TOOK TO A NISSAN DEALER ( MCGUIRE NISSAN OF SYRACUSE ) AND THEY DIAGNOSED AS A BAD TRANSMISSION. THEY GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE TO INSTALL NEW TRANSMISSION AND OIL COOLER FOR TRANSMISSION FOR $5,300.00 PLUS TAX. I THEN DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE NISSAN AND FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN HAD ALOT OF ISSUES WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS , SO MANY THAT THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FROM 5 YEAR - 60,000 MILES TO 10 YEAR - 120,000 MILES ON MOST OF THEIR VEHICLES. I CONTACTED NISSAN DIRECTLY AND THEY SAID THIS DOESN'T PERTAIN TO MY 2011 AS IT ONLY COVERED THE 2003 THRU 2010. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 74,000 MILES. DURING MY RESEARCH I READ THAT A LOT OF THESE TRANSMISSIONS WERE ONLY GOOD FOR 80,000 MILES AND THAT IS WHY THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY. ULTIMATELY I WAS COMPELLED TO GET THIS FIXED FROM MCGUIRE OF SYRACUSE AND WITH TAX COST ME $5,791.54. I BELIEVE THAT MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL AS THE ISSUES ARE THE SAME AS THE OTHER YEARS THAT HAD ISSUES. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
