NHTSA Complaint #11389882 — 2014 NISSAN ROGUE

DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER 2014 ROGUE WITH 64,000 MILES ON IT TO COLLEGE OVER 800 MILES AWAY WHEN IT KEPT JOLTING AND CAUSING A RISE IN THE RPMS. CAR WOULD DECELERATE FROM 65 MPH TO 40 MPH WHILE GOING UP AND DOWN HILLS OR TRYING TO PASS SEMIS ON THE HIGHWAY. FINALLY HAD TO DRIVE 40 MPH TO THE NEAREST TOWN WITH A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND LEAVE VEHICLE THERE AND GET A RENTAL CAR TO DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY TO COLLEGE. NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT CALLED AND SAID SHE NEEDS AN ENTIRELY NEW TRANSMISSION AT ONLY 64K MILES. THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS, AND NOT JUST ON THE SENTRA AND VERSA. NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ACROSS THE BOARD YET HAVE FAILED TO RECALL AND/OR EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON ALL MODELS WITH THE SAME CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES. MY DAUGHTER COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. NOW WE ARE FORCED TO PAY $4200 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION OR LEAVE HER STRANDED AT COLLEGE WITHOUT A VEHICLE.
