The vehicle shakes when I accelerate or go on reverse, I've been told is the transmission, that is causing the problem.

The CVT transmission would over heat numerous times on long trips. This would slow me down in traffic or going up hills. Also, when exiting a freeway and stopping merging into traffic was dangerous on numerous occasions due to now coming from the transmission. The Nissan CVT has been recalled, been subject to numerous lawsuits. In fact Nissan has extended the warranty on the Rogue transmission up to the year 2010 and from 2012 but has continuously ignored the 2011 Rogue. I just recently had to have the transmission rebuilt on my 2011 Rogue. If I had known about this earlier I could have taken preventative measures.

While driving on a highway, the car caught fire under the hood near the driver's side headlight. The headlight was replaced the day before the incident. The headlight worked when installed but was not working by the next evening. The driver's side headlights have needed replacing more often than the passenger headlight (a 3:1 ratio or a 4:1 ratio). That ratio may indicate an electrical problem. Headlight bulb was a Napa BP1255/H11ll-N. our car took an H11 bulb. The ll stands for long life.

Driving home on the night of July 4th 2020 I experienced my SUV beginning to struggle in accelerating while I was in motion of driving my vehicle. I had to try my best to get off the main highway and on to the side. I pulled my SUV over to the side and started it back up to see the problem and I notice the engine revs but vehicle does not accelerate as it should. I got my vehicle towed and I havent been able to drive it since the situation.I believe it has something to do with the transmission.

Daughter purchased a 2011 Nissan Rogue. Person you purchased from not answering phone. It has a faulty sensor and transmission went out. She is a single mother trying to raise her daughter and go to school and work. She needs this car working to the best of ability. It is at a Toyota dealer in norwalk California. Please help. [xxx]. sensors won't let her smog. Transmission very expensive. We are currently looking into junk yards for usued ones but no guarantee it will last. Thank you joe morales. Step father of cassandra barrera. Her Nissan versa was totaled when parked at work insurance gave her money. She bought another Nissan and bad luck from their information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Turning onto exspress way car would not accelerate to desired speed to enter highway. Happens other times just in driving the car will not have any acceleration power when trying to accelerate. Vehicle was in motion on a highway, .cars behind me honking horns some going around me. I believe it to be cvt and transmission. Luckily I finally made it onto highway. Times like this happens too frequently ! so far I have not had an accident but if I have to keep driving this car, I don't know. I have heard from other people that this problem is still ongoing and no action has been taken by Nissan other than refusing to reimburse them. Some one has to take action and make them recall all of the cars affected by this. No patch jobs like adding temperature cooler to supposedly cool transmission fluid down which according to some people it doesn't work and if it does work at all it eventually fails again ! I purchased this brand new in Feb 2011 had other problems with it also brakes screeching and air conditioner went out.those repairs came out of my pocket.also they would not fix my brakes or acknowledge there was even a problem !all of this with only around 65, oo miles on it. I'm hoping that some one will be responsible and take action against Nissan. Thanks for taking my complaint. I don't remember the exact date it started happening but somewhere around June 2019

My vehicle gets water on the driver's side floor, up to an inch and causes electrical issues. Nissan stated they fixed the issue but did not deal my vehicle and it's not their problem after the first fix. Water is there when driving, parked or any time the road is wet or raining.

As the car picks up spped it looses power.you can only go 20 miles an hour or less. If you let the car cool down it will pick up speed but 15 minutes later the same thing continues to occure..

While my son and I were driving up in the hills my Nissan Rogue 2011 AWD stalled and started to roll backwards cars were honking son put on flashers and had gas pedal to floor it had no power whats so ever. Finally got into a parking lot trying to get some power. Suddenly it started to work again. This was a very dangerous situation and Nissan knows about it and should not put peoples lives at stake like this. Something needs to be done about it. Thank you very reading.

2011 Nissan Rogue cvt transmission is defective. For Nissan it is a know issue and Nissan extended warranty and doubled the warranty period for the cvt transmission for 2008-2010 Nissan Rogue models and powertrain warranty coverage of 5 years/60,000 miles was extended at no cost, for cvt repairs, replacements or related towing, up to 10 years/120,000 miles (whichever comes first). My 2011 Nissan Rogue cvt transmission is also defective and the current mileage is only 46682 and Nissan has to extend and cover the cost of replacement. I paid diagnostic charges at Nissan dealer at horsheads, NY and dealer gave estimate of $4000 to replace transmission. I opened a case with nisan, case #29665859 and towed my vehicle to priority Nissan dealer at chantilly, va near my home based on conversation with case manager. Now they are asking to pay again diagnostic charges, I believe all technicians are trained by Nissan because both are Nissan dealers and this is totally unfair asking customer to pay again for the same diagnostic twice. I also sent diagnostic papers to case manager and priority Nissan, chantilly dealer. Both case manager and chantilly Nissan dealer saying without paying diagnostic charges they are to going to take any action. Apparently the cvt transmission was defective on 2011 models also and Nissan is now indicating to me that although the older model year cars were given an extended warranty for the faulty cvt transmission but my car is not covered and case manage is they need diagnostic report again from this chantilly dealer to review my case but asking to pay again the charges and this is totally not fair.
