2008 Nissan Rogue Powertrain & Transmission Problems

Will not go up hill only 40 mph had the transmission rebuild still only 40 mph

Sudden loss of power while driving on highway after a few hours. Car cannot exceed 40 MPH.

The transmission shudders, jerks, whines, roars loudly. Yes it’s available for inspection. I was driving up a hill with my grand children in the car, and it started shuddering. Didn’t seem to be getting gas at all. The tank was full. Then it started rolling backwards down the hill. Needless to say my grand children were scared to death as I was also. No I haven’t spoken to anyone about the problem, as I don’t know who to talk to? Nobody has looked at it yet. I figured the transmission went, so I haven’t bothere$ with reaching out, until a friend told me hers did the exact same thing. So we looked it up. Yes it seemed to be shuddering before but never lost power and rolled backwards. There were no warning lights, or signs of it quitting. There was no acceleration at all. Just slowly lost power. It was still running but when you push the gas pedal you got nothing. Not even the reving of the motor!03/29

WE TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO VAVOLINE AND THEY TOLD US THAT THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION PAN IS ALMOST RUSTED OUT AND WE HAVE A 4 MAJOR LEAKS UNDER OUR VEHICLE SO BAD THAT THE BLOCK UNDER THE VEHICLE AND THE FRONT AXEL IS WET FROM THE FLUID LEAKS. WE BOUGHT THE CAR TWO DAYS AGO AND BROUGHT IT BACK TO RETURN IT TODAY BECAUSE WE WERE NOT TOLD ABOUT ANY OF THESE ISSUES AND THEY TOLD US WE WERE NOT GOING TO GET OUR MONEY BACK. EVEN THOUGH IT WOULD NOT PASS A STATE EMISSIONS TEST WITH ALL THOSE LEAKS AND SHE NOT HAVE BEEN SOLD TO US.

I HAVE A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. HAVE HAD IT LESS THAN A YEAR. 3 DAYS AGO, WITHOUT WARNING, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHAKING AND JERKING WHEN I WAS TAKING OFF FROM A RED LIGHT ON THE WAY TO TAKE MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL. PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND SAT A COUPLE MINS, SINCE I WASNT SURE WHAT WAS HAPPENING. AS I TRIED TO PULL BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE ROGUE WOULDNT GO. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK HOME. HAD A TECHNICIAN PUT MY VEHICLE ON A COMPUTER. THE TRANSMISSION IS OUT OF IT.

STARTED VEHICLE AND DROVE WELL. STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION AND WHEN IT WAS MY TURN TO GO CAR RPMS WERE HIGH BUT CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. THE LIGHT CHANGE AND I FOUND MYSELF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I TOOK MY FOOT OF GAS AND THEN IT JUST SPED UP AND I HAD TO USE THE BREAKS TO MAKE IT SLOW DOWN. ALSO IT WOULD SLOWDOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHICH IS DANGEROUS CAUSE SPEED LIMIT WAS 70MPH AND I COULDN'T MOVE THE CAR TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY.

BOUGHT CAR IN 2012 WITH 64,000 MILES. IN OCTOBER OF 2017 , WITH 121,000 MILES NOTICED A GRINDING NOISE WHEN TAKING OFF TOOK TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP , WAS INFORMED THAT TRANSMISSION WAS BAD. REPLACED TRANSMISSION FOR $3700. IN JUNE OF 2019 WITH 138,000 MILES STARTED HAVING A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT WHEN TAKING OFF IN BETWEEN 1500 AND 2500 RPM WAS TOLD THAT TRANSMISSION WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED IN THE INSIDE, THE PUMP WAS NOT WORKING AND METAL SHAVINGS. I AM WITHOUT A JOB AND HAD TO TAKE MY SEVERANCE PAY TO PAY $4,107 TO REPLACE ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. THAT DID NOT INCLUDE THE RIGHT TIE ROD THAT I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO REPLACE WHICH SEEMS TO GO OUT EVERY YEAR. FIXING BOTH LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND THE REAR SUSPENSION AT OVER $1200.00 THE WEEK BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS CAR IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF OIL CHANGES EVERY 3,000 MILES AND CONSTANT UPKEEP.

VEHICLE RUNS O K AT FIRST, AFTER 6 OR 7 STOPS AT LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS OR FOR OTHER REASONS, WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS THERE IS NO RESPONSE, THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING, BUT THE CAR WONT GO, SOMETIMES IT WILL HESITATE AND THEN TAKE OFF QUICKLY, WHICH IS ALSO DANGEROUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTINUOUS VARIABLE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 136,000.

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE. AT 86000 MILES. I WAS ON STREET AND HEARD A GRINDING NOISE AND IT JUST POPPED. IT LOST POWER NO ACCELERATION. I LUCKILY COASTED TO A DIRT ROAD WHERE AS SOON AS I TURNED IT STOPPED. WOULD NOT GO. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY'VE HAD FOR 7 DAYS SO FAR. I'M OUT 445$ ON RENTAL CAR SO FAR. THEY PAY FOR TRANSMISSION BUT 300+ OTHER STUFF I HAVE TO PAY. SO I'M OUT 800+ $ FRANKLY I DONT REALLY HAVE. I KNOW COULD BE WORSE BUT THIS IS UNEXPECTED $ I HAD TO PAY PLUS KEEP UP ON REGULAR BILL'S. NOT RIGHT.

I HAVE JUST RECENTLY NOTICED A BAD VIBRATION WITH MY NISSAN . IT SHAKES LIKE YOUR DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STICKS. EVEN WHEN YOUR AT A FULL STOP AND GIVE IT SOME GAS THE RUMBLE EFFECT HAPPEN RIGHT AWAY FROM A FULL STOP. IDK, WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. PLEASE HELP! ONCE YOU GET UP TO 30 MPH THE VIBRATION GOES AWAY. SLOW DOWN MAKE RIGHT/LEFT TURNS BOOM THE VIBRATIONS OF THE RIMBLE STICKS RIGHT THERE. SOMETHING IS WRONG.

"TAKATA RECALL" I'VE BEEN HEARING MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ON THESE VEHICLE I NEVER BELIEVED IT UNTIL IT HAPPENED TO ME. I HAVE AN 2008 NISSAN ROGUE AND ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING I HERD A LOUD BANG SOUND AFTER THAT THE VEHICLE STOPED MOVING. COME TO KNOW IT THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT I HAVE BEEN HEARING HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE TOO. THE TRANSMISSION IS FROZED UP VEHICLE WONT MOVE AND I CANT AFFORD TO FIX OR EVEN BUY A NEW TRANSMISSION. PLEASE IF POSSIBLE I NEED NISSAN TO CONSIDER THIS AND FIX IT THE VEHILCE ONLY HAS 118,000 MILES AND I NEED MY VEHICLE TO WORK TO TRANSPORT FROM SCHOOL AND WORK.

NISSAN ROGUE 2008 WAS BOUGHT IN 2008 SINCE BEGINNING DURING UPHILL DRIVE IN SUMMER CAR STARTS STALLING ON FREEWAY. THIS PROMPTED NISSAN TO CHANGE CVT ON 10/15/2013 AND AGAIN ON 10/10/15.
