2017 Nissan Rogue Complaint Log

While driving at low speed in Mountains, transmission over heated and went into failsafe mode which prohibited shifting. In steep Mountain roads inability to downshift causes excessive use of brakes and could result in dangerous speeds.

The engine light came on steady the transmission seems to race at times and shudder in others I took to a mechanic and he is telling me the transmission is bad and needs replaced I have around 67000 on this vehicle

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 60 MPH, the vehicle had unintendedly accelerated and then inadvertently decelerated. The vehicle was taken to three independent mechanics and diagnosed with mass air flow sensor failure. The mass air flow sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer. The dealer performed an oil change, a brake fluid change, and cleaned the throttle body. The dealer informed the contact to add a fuel injector cleaner to the vehicle twice a year. However, the failure recurred. The contact took the vehicle to Cherry Hill Nissan (2325 NJ-38, Cherry Hill, NJ 08002) and had another oil change and windshield wiper replacement. Cherry Hill Nissan informed the contact that the failure was related to a towel the contact had placed near the driver's side floor mat, which jammed the accelerator pedal. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH with the cruise control activated, the vehicle independently came to an abrupt stop as the crash sensor warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact immediately pulled over and read the safety manual but could not find the cause of the failure. After restarting the vehicle, the contact resumed normal driving with the cruise control activated and the same failure occurred again. The contact called a dealer where an appointment was made to inspect the vehicle. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000.

The airbag light turned on without any accidents happening, went to the dealership and they charged me for diagnosing the problem then they quoted me 3000 usd + to repair. The car is 48,000 miles with clean title and zero accidents, having the airbag light on without accidents means nothing but a manufacturer’s fault

While traveling in traffic, Vehicle loses power, transmission slips and will not engage. Vehicle will not respond when accelerating causing dangerous traffic conditions.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V244000 (Air Bags) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

While driving, the housing for the light switches, microphone and sunglasses holder fell down and was swinging in the drivers line of vision.

The contact owned a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the driver seat failed to move forward or backward. In order to adjust the driver seat excessive force was required and was able to be adjusted after several attempts. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the unknown repair was performed however the driver seat was still not able to be adjusted up or down. The contact then stated that while their husband was driving approximately 60 - 70 mph, the instrument panel suddenly glitched and the vehicle failed to accelerate. It seemed like the vehicle was coasting only. The center computer began turning off and on. The vehicle self-corrected. Next, the front passenger side window failed to move up and down till the driver side window had been moved first. Later that same day, while their husband was driving (mileage unknown) the vehicle suddenly shut completely off. The driver waited a few minutes and was able to drive the vehicle back home where they parked the vehicle. After being parked for approximately an hour the contact was informed by the police that the vehicle had caught on fire and was extinguished by the fire department. A police report was filed. There were no injuries, no medical attention was needed and there was no damage. The vehicle had been towed to the insurance company to be evaluated. The vehicle was deemed totaled.

I drive a 2017 Nissan Rogue that has just under 65K miles on it as of today. Without a prior indication of a problem from the car's warning system, I suddenly began losing transmission power and experiencing significant engine hesitation while driving yesterday, August 23, 2021. Specifically, the car would hesitate at least 3 seconds and sometimes as long as 8 seconds before engaging, thus putting me in great danger in traffic and on public roads. Additionally, the engine would begin revving up from 1 to 4+ rpms while simply trying to maintain a speed of 40 mph. This caused me to constantly have to remove my foot entirely from the accelerator, further putting me in harm's way while in traffic on both residential and highway roads. I lost control of my vehicle. I immediately proceeded home as carefully as I could manage, stored the vehicle overnight in the garage, and took it to the dealership first thing in the morning. To my great surprise and disappointment, the Nissan adviser informed me that the diagnostic codes received were P0776 and P1715, both of which were addressed in previous Nissan Service Bulletins in both 2018 and 2021. Furthermore, these codes indicate specific issues with the CVT - something that has plagued Nissan for years and continues to be the center of many lawsuits and causes for extended warranty programs. In fact, I experienced CVT transmission failure in a 2015 Nissan Rogue that I owned previous to this one. My sister also experienced the same safety hazard in her Nissan Rogue. This is an ongoing and hugely unsafe problem. Currently, my vehicle is at the dealership, awaiting response from Nissan Corporation as to whether they will replace/fix at no cost, considering the blatant CVT issues and the fact that my powertrain warranty expired less than 5k miles ago and that several other models with the exact same issue have been granted extended warranties, etc. This should be at no expense to me. I had my car inspected last month by Nissan!

Car died, now warning light came on malfunctioning of EBS. Cruise control cuts off for no reason. Car breaks on it on. Almost causing accident. It is now in the shop for a brand new transmission!!! And EBS bad sensors. I do not want the car back. Please make them but it back. Also there is a bad ground when using the Bluetooth, but they can’t seem to notice it.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the gear shifter lights illuminated and remained on. The dealer was notified of the failure and the vehicle was scheduled to be diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

The transmission went out at 70k miles

Vehicle has 81153 miles on it. While driving down the highway it began bucking it had check engine light stating code P0841. Took it to a local dealership in Pennsylvania and the fluid and filter was changed at my request. Drove less than 100 miles and the transmission seized. The CVT is a problem in this vehicle.

The sunroof of the 2017 Nissan Rouge has drains that are very inadequate and in my opinion defective. My 2017 Nissan Rouge had white mold growing in the carpet of the floor board before I discovered the floor board was wet under the mats (which were mostly dry.) There was no warning or instructions that the sunroof drains had to be cleaned periodically. This mold growing under the mats is a clear health hazard in the air inside of this car. It goes undetected for some time because the leak is insidious and not under any sort of recall. I have had cars with sunroofs for years and never experienced any sort of leak problem like this

I was informed by a Nissan dealership over 3 years ago that both inner tie rods on my 2017 Nissan Rogue have play in them. The vehicle had less then 30,000 miles on it and was never in an accident nor was it ever driven off roads. They told me it would cost over $2,000.00 to make the repair because the tie rods were part of the power steering rack. In other words to replace the inner tie rods they had to replace the power steering rack as well. The vehicle was manufactured in Korea. I complained that this failure in the tie rods had to be a manufacturing defect but Nissan refused to cover the repair because my three year new car warranty expired. I just recently read that the NHTSA in August 5th of 2024 began an investigation on this matter with the 2021 model year Nissan Rogue SUV. I believe this matter is just not for the 2021 model year but at least model year 2017.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving 55 mph, the sunroof exploded, and the sunroof glass shattered onto the shade guard. The contact was able to pull to the side of the road, where he checked the vehicle but could not determine the cause of the failure. The contact then drove to his destination. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.

It seems the 2017 Nissan Rogue, as well as almost all other years of that make/model have a defect in the drainage system for the sunroof. The drain lines clog which leads to water accumulating significantly under the floor of the car. The initial indicator of this is a wet floor, not that big a deal. However, the water cannot drain at all from under the floorboard so it remains wet, which leads to mold and mildew. it also can lead to rusting the connections of the front seats with the floor board that quickly rots since it is permanently soaking wet. The health issues of breathing in moldy air in an enclosed vehicle are significant and the rotting floorboards that can lead to a seat being dislodged are also concerning. There are numerous examples of this online. The dealer is aware of the problem but does not believe it is their problem to address. Nissan and the dealer feel it is a maintenance issue where the car owner must clean out the drain tubes twice a year. There is nothing in the owners manual indicating this is a requirement or a necessity. Warranty will not cover it since they feel it is a maintenance issue.

Transmission failure. The car loosing power on the road. Slipping gears.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power without warning. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and diagnosed as an engine control module failure. The dealer notified the manufacturer of the failure, but the manufacturer wanted the dealer to perform a diagnostic test before approving the replacement of the engine control module. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 28,000. Consumer stated vehicle has been repaired.*JB

Cars only 4 years old and airbag light is on. Is there warranty for the airbags.

Driving out of a stopped position - after being stopped at a red light on an inclined hill - the car felt like it was stuck in the neutral position even though it was in drive. I pulled over to the side of the road, shifted the gear from drive to park and back to drive, drove back into traffic, and the car again felt like the transmission was in the neutral driving position. I pulled over a second time, put the car in park, turned the car off and then back on, put the car into drive, and the transmission shifted smoothly between gears.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Cvt Valve caused a check engine light How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? If the trnasmission dies, then the car woudl not be operable. Related to TSB - https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/SB-10075090-5448.pdf While actually a 2017 Rogue in my case - same issue occurred @ 69K miles. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Not to my knowledge Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Check Engine light came on 6/18 and was brought to dealer the following monday who confirmed the dx.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving approximately 77 mph, the vehicle started to decelerate. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate above 30 mph. The contact pulled over and the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to a certified mechanic who was unable to identify the cause of the failure. The vehicle was then transferred to the dealer but was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 67,000.

The air conditioner in my Nissan Rogue has not been working. I have dropped my car at Nissan 3 times last year and the ac problem has never been fixed. We cannot drive in hot weather because it blows out hot air.

The vehicle does not shift gears when attempting to accelerate. The RPMs increase but the speed is sluggish to accelerate. The struggle of the engine is audible from inside the car like the sound of revving of an engine. No warning signs or messages have been associated with the problem. The problem does not happen every time the car is used but has occurred on several different occasions. The car is available for inspection upon request. This problem is dangerous to the driver, passengers, and other drivers on the road as well, because it disrupts the flow of traffic when attempting to merge onto the highway. Many people are forced to slam on their breaks to avoid rear ending the vehicle when it does not accelerate.

Cvt transmission gave out without warning well picking up my son from school.

My 2017 Nissan Rogue has 39,000 miles on it, after I bought out my lease a few months ago I noticed in warmer weather and when the engine and transmission are good and hot, I am having trouble accelerating. I do hot highway driving and longer city driving once we start having to do traffic lights and or stop signs I have noticed that my car will not accelerate, I push the gas petal to the floor and it will barely move, and the transmission makes noise and will not shift. I have to pull over and let it cool for a bit in order to get moving again. I have taken it in for service twice and they cannot get this to replicate and have told me there is nothing wrong with my car. This last time I picked it up after they had it for two days and it occured the very next day. No warning lamps lights or messages appear when this occurs. I feel this is a very big safety issue, if I do not get going at the proper speed at a light or stop sign I may get rear ended. It concerns me that they cannot seem to find what is wrong as it continues to repeat over and over again.

My 2017 Nissan Rogue has been jerking, lurching, and there are times when the accelerator is depressed but the car does not accelerate at all It is extremely dangerous. Nissan has confirmed that the CVT has failed. This seems to be an ongoing issue with many of their vehicles and it doesn’t not feel like adequate action is being taken to remedy this.

Driving on the highway about 65M mph, the forward emergency system (FEB), read an error message. Immediately the engine brake was activated causing the car to brake. I pulled over in the highway and turn off the engine, ERROR message for the FEB was not showing anymore. However few hours (2 hours) later, the FEB error message displayed again, causing the brake engine to kick in and stop the car. At the red light, when i push the gas to start, the RPM will go up to 6000 and the car won't move. Drivers behind me are at risk to slam my car rear end, because of the sudden braking from the FEB error.

WHILE DRIVING UP HILLS ON CITY STREETS THE CAR SEEMS TO SLOW DOWN AND HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING UP THE BILL. THE A/C ALSO STOPS WORKING WHEN THIS HAPPENS AS WELL.

Front passenger door handle not opening door. You have to try more than a few times before or actually opens. Very scary if we need to exit the vehicle in case of an emergency. I realized this about a week after I bought the vehicle.

I began to notice issues with my 2017 Nissan Rogue as I was driving down the road and all of a sudden, the car seemed to have lost power and wouldn't accelerate. I took it to my local garage, where I was told the CVT transmission went out and needed replaced. He recommended I speak to Nissan to see if they would help pay for the repair, since it's a common problem, less than 4 years old and only 72,000 miles. Nissan recommended I take it to the nearest dealership so they could diagnose it, then possibly help pay with the goodwill assistance program. I called the dealership and also sent a request for a call back online. I never received a call back. I contacted Nissan's Consumer Affairs department, who said they would contact the dealership. It took the dealership about a week to return my call. When they did, they scheduled an appointment for the following Tuesday. I had the car towed Monday evening and when I hadn't heard back by the end of the week, I called and left a message. They finally called back a week later and said the tests they ran come back to a failed CVT transmission. At that point, Nissan could finally review my case to hopefully offer assistance. Another week later, I received a call that they would not help with the repairs, towing fees or rental car fees. I have had to rent a car for 5 weeks now, because of them dragging their feet. So now I will be out $129 for the diagnostic test, when we already knew the problem, approximately $2,000 for the rental car and over $4,000 for a new transmission. I also would have to pay $5 per mile over 3 miles at 22 miles, so another $95 for towing back to the original garage.

Unknown passenger airbag light does not turn on even with a passenger in the seat.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 50 MILES AN HOUR WHEN SUDDENLY MY COLLISION ALARM STARTED "BEEPING" AND THE BRAKES ACTIVATED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN, WHILE MAKING A GRINDING SOUND AND CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE. THERE WERE NO OBJECTS IN FRONT OF ME AND THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO CARS DIRECTLY BEHIND ME, THAT COULD HAVE STRUCK MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE SUDDEN UNEXPECTED STOP.

ENTERING INTO A PARKING STRUCTURE, COMING UP AN INCLINE. I HEAR A BEEP, AND WARING LIGHT COMES ON BUT DISAPPEARS VERY QUICKLY, I'M NOT ABLE TO SEE THE ICON. WHILE COMING UP THE INCLINE AND GETTING READY TO MAKE A RIGHT, THE DASHBOARD BEEPS AGAIN AND THE ICON APPEARS AND DISAPPEARED. THE CAR SUDDENLY JUST BRAKES, COMPLETELY STOPS AND YOU CAN HEAR SKID SOUNDS. THE CAR DOESN'T CUT OFF, BUT TAKES A MINUTE FOR ME TO GET THE CAR BACK IN MOTION.

At approximately 68,000 miles and in April 2021, my 2017 Nissan Rogue SL began exhibiting a lag in acceleration from a complete stop. Upon pressing the accelerator, there would be a 3-4 second delay before the engine and rpms would engage and the car would simply crawl forward in that time. I felt the need to try pumping the gas pedal to try to get it to go but that didn't help. After several seconds, it would accelerate and the rpms would go up normally. After doing this three to four times after complete stops, the car goes into "limp home mode," in which it will not shift gears or accelerate above 45 mph. Stopping and turning off the engine, waiting 45-90 seconds, and then restarting almost always resets the car so that it will perform normally again for a little while. But it always recurs, especially if I spend any time idling, such as at a traffic light or in a school pickup line. This is very dangerous, as I am not able to count on my car to get me through traffic when turning onto a road or crossing a road at intersections. I fear being unable to get out of the way of oncoming traffic with that delay in accleration. The Nissan dealership mechanics have looked at the car for this problem twice and have been unable to resolve the issue at this time. They say it could have something to do with the electrical harness, which is costly to repair and the car is no longer under warranty. The mechanics have been unable to recreate the problem, though it happens frequently in daily use and occurs more often in warm weather than in cool or cold weather. The engine, however, does not register overheating. There is no check engine light when this happens.

THE FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKE SENSOR MALFUNCTION THIS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE TAKEN BACK TO NISSAN FOR THIS ISSUE AND ALL THEY SAY IS THAT ( WE CAN NOT RECRATE THE ISSUE) AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT IT HAS DONE IT A FEW TIMES WHEN GOING THROUGH INTERSECTION ON CITY STREET S IT HAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD LUCKILY FOR ME THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC BEHIND ME

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO CARS CLOSE TO ME AND AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED TWICE

Car was hit

HELLO, I BROUGHT MY 2017 NISSAN ROGUE IN MAY 2020. HERE I AM NOT EVEN A FULL YEAR LATER WITH 64000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION (CVT). I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN BECAUSE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE WAS JERKING BACK AND FORTH UPON ACCELERATION. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES OR 24MTHS WHICH EVER CAME FIRST (WHICH I SHOULD NOT HAVE EVEN PAID FOR AT THIS POINT). I NOTICED THAT SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF NISSAN CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME YEAR ROGUE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH THEIR CVT. NISSAN HAS PLACED A BULLETIN OUT ON THEIR 2016 MODELS BUT NOT ON 2017. I AM HOPING THAT NISSAN CAN ASSIST WITH THE REPAIRS (COST$4400) THAT ARE UNJUST. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER COMPLAINTS OFFICE AND THEY JUST SENT AN EMAIL STATING THEY COULD HELP.

THE PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED, WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CVT TRANSMISSION SLIPS SLOWING MY CAR DOWN IN FRONT OF A BIG TRUCK WHILE MY KIDS ARE IN THE THERE. THAT IS NOT SAFE AT ALL, SO I TAKE IT TO A SHOP WHO TELLS ME IT NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION. GETS NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN THERE AND NOT EVEN A GOOD TWO WEEKS LATER IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. SO I GO AND RESEARCH AND SEE THAT THIS IS A BIG ISSUE AND NISSAN HAS NOT DID A RECALL ON IT YET. WHAT ARE THEY WAITING ON, TO HARM A WHOLE FAMILY. THEY NEED TO GET THEIR STUFF TOGETHER.

THE CVT TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHEN WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE ROGUE WOULD NOT GO FORWARD OR BACKWARD TO THE GET ROGUE OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED WITH ONLY 78,000 MILES AND OUT OF WARRANTY. THE CVT HAD BEEN SERVICED AT THE DEALER AT THE RECOMMENDED MILEAGE.

2017 NISSAN ROGUE WITH 23000 MILES. CVT TRANSMISSION STARTED GRINDING WHILE DRIVING SEEMS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE.

NIGHT TIME DRIVING IS VERY DIFFICULT WITH JUST THE LOW BEAMS ON. IF THE WEATHER IS BAD, CLOUDY, OR ALLMOST NO MOON LIGHT, IT IS MOST NOTICEABLEWHEN MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS. THE ROAD CAN APPEAR PITCH BLACK AND I WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE DOUBLE YELLOW LINES. IN ADDITION A SLIGHT UPWARD GRADE ADDS TO THE PROBLEM. I'M NOT AWARE OF THIS BEING A PROBLEM WHILE THE HIGH BEAMS ARE ON HOWEVER I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TEST THEM IN THE MOST TROUBLING AREA THAT I FREQUENTLY DRIVE DUE TO ON COMING TRAFFIC. HIGH BEAMS HAVE HELPED IN MANY AREAS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO SEE LANE MARKERS WITH JUST LOW BEAMS. PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS APPEAR FAR BRIGHTER THAN THE LOW BEAMS WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF.

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. THE OCS INDICATOR IN THE DRIVERS SEAT HAS MALFUNCTION.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20MPH, WITH NO VEHICLE OR OBSTRUCTION IN FRONT OF ME, MY ROGUE AUTOMATICALLY BRAKED, FLASHED A WARNING BAR IN THE DASH, AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE PHYSICALLY SHAKING AND MAKING A GRINDING NOISE. THE CAR HAD ENGAGED THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM WITHOUT CAUSE. THIS OCCURRED AT 8:00PM (NIGHT) AND ABOUT 20 FEET BEFORE A RAILROAD CROSSING ON A TWO-LANE STREET IN A RURAL TOWN, BUT THERE WAS NO TRAIN PRESENT. IT TOOK SEVERAL SECONDS TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR AND BEGIN DRIVING AGAIN. THE CAR FOLLOWING ME WAS FAR ENOUGH BEHIND TO AVOID A REAR COLLISION, AND WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE AROUND MY STOPPED VEHICLE. I HAVE REPORTED THE OCCURRENCE TO FRED ANDERSON NISSAN OF ASHEVILLE, WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON SEPT. 29, 2020, AND AM WAITING FOR THEIR RESPONSE ABOUT CORRECTING THE PROBLEM.

FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT NOT WORKING PROPERLY. SEAT BELT DOES NOT LATCH ON PROPERLY. IF PULLED, SEAT BELT WILL UNLATCH AND UNLOCK SAFETY. IN COLLISION THIS WILL CAUSE FRONT PASSENGER TO BE UNSAFE AND IS AT RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.

1. MY FORWARD COLLISION WARNING GOES IN AND OUT OF SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES PER MONTH. 2. THE CVT QUIT WORKING AT 78,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING ON I-70 BETWEEN DENVER, CO AND THE EISENHOWER TUNNEL WHEN SUDDENLY THE RPMS KICKED UP AND THE SPEED DROPPED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT GEAR I WAS IN BUT I COULD ONLY DRIVE 40 MPH AT 3500 -4500 RPMS. THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL AS WELL. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO RESET WHEN VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN RESTARTED AND SEEMED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. HOWEVER, WHEN TAKEN FOR A TEST DRIVE, THE BURNING SMELL OCCURRED AGAIN WHEN CLIMBING A HILL AND SEEMED TO DISSIPATE WHEN TRAVELING DOWN HILL AND TRANSMISSION IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.
