NHTSA Complaint #11384456 — 2012 NISSAN ROGUE

AT APPROXIMATELY 53,500 MILES, WHILE ON A LONG TRIP, THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A 'WHEEZING' NOISE AND EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER. IT CONTINUES TO DEMONSTRATE THE SAME BEHAVIOR WHENEVER THE ENGINE WARMS UP. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT I TOOK IT TO SAID THAT THE LIKELY TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WAS COMMON IN NISSAN ROGUES, MURANOS AND VERSAS. I HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT BY TWO OTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WHO AGREED IT WAS A DETERIORATION IN THE WORKINGS OF THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM IN MULTIPLE MODELS AND MODEL YEARS.
