NHTSA Complaint #11462371 — 2015 NISSAN ROGUE

Purchased with 89k miles, now has 130k miles. A few times at random the check engine light came on and then went off immediately, seemingly went off when I would tighten up my gas cap, so i thought this was the cause. Hit 130k miles and light comes on during my drive home from work, and this time is accompanied by my loss of acceleration. On Highway I couldn’t go over about 55mph without losing ability to accelerate, I pull off Highway, get to first stop light, and then I can’t get the car to accelerate from a stop at all without an extreme delay. I pull into the nearest repair shop and they run the codes on ECU and tell me it’s not reading any active codes, but history codes are showing transmission issues and that CVT transmissions are known for this and recommends I call Nissan Consumer Affairs. Literally zero noticeable issues prior to this incident! I call them & they don’t have my name attached to the VIN? They create a case and tell me there was a class action lawsuit settlement (I never got any notification whatsoever!!!) but that I’m outside of the extended warranty provided as a result of the settlement. I still owe $8k on this piece of shit and Nissan won’t do anything—It should be recalled!!! 2nd Nissan I’ve owned, the first one I bought with 14k miles on it & had to replace the transmission at 35k, warranty expired. I will never buy another Nissan ever again. Ever. They clearly knowingly put defective and unsafe transmissions in these cars, screw over their customers time and time again, & are never held responsible. I don’t have the money to replace this transmission or buy a new car and be $10k in the hole. I can’t get to & from work in this car & don’t feel remotely safe when driving it. I’m terrified I’m going to get tboned bc I won’t be able to accelerate, & it’s only a matter of time before it is completely toast. There will be blood on Nissan’s hands for these CVT’s. I’m not paying them to diagnose a widespread issue they are fully aware of!!
