My CVT transmission is having major problems and I need to check if there is a recall please email [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
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

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.
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.
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 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.
Driving on a busy expressway, there was suddenly a loud clanging under the chassis. I started driving slowly and again there was an extremely loud banging against the chassis. Pulled of the expressway when the car suddenly started slowing down. When I started to pull into the first minimall I could find, the car started moving backwards and none of the gears would work. Could not take my foot off the brake as the car continued to go reverse into traffic. Finally after getting assistance from several people helping me get the car into the parking lot, I was able to be towed to my garage, where it was discovered that the drive shaft had broken off, knocking off a piece of the od sensor and then knocked out the exhaust pipe which then snapped off the shift assembly cable and all the gears. My mechanic has never seen anything as bad as this. The car is completely undriveable and I shudder to think what could have happened to my family and myself as we could have been killed. Currently my car is still at the mechanic's where he is waiting for a decision from me as to what to do with the car which will cost $3,000 to repair which is what the trade value is on the car and what the car was worth. Now it is junk

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.
