THIS INVOLVES A NISSAN ROGUE S 2008 WE PURCHASED NEW FROM THE DEALER. AT APPROXIMATELY 55,000 MILES WHILE ON A TRIP TO DESTIN, FL OUR CVT TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION ON THE HIGHWAY. IT CAUSED CAR TO LOSE SPEED, NO LONGER PULL, IDLE ERRATICALLY, AND NOT BE ABLE TO GET UP TO SPEEDS OVER 55 MILES AN HOUR. IT WOULD ALSO NOT PULL OFF FROM STOPS BUT RATHER JUST COAST OUT INTO THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, LEAVING THE DRIVER WITHOUT CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WE WERE INSTRUCTED BY THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO LIMP THE CAR BACK TO ATLANTA SO THEY COULD REPLACE THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND STATED THEY KNEW IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THOSE PARTICULAR CVT'S. ONCE WE GOT THE CAR BACK, NISSAN EXPLAINED THAT THEY HAD INSTALLED A NEWER MODEL OF CVT IN OUR CAR AND THAT IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. NOW, JUNE 23, 2012, OUR CAR IS BACK AT THE DEALER WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE CAR NOW HAS 102,00 MILES. THIS TIME WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE WHEN THE CVT BEGINS TO ACT UP. SYMPTOMS INCLUDED LOSS OF POWER, LOSS OF SPEED AND IDLE LEAVING US UNABLE TO SWITCH LANES AND GET OFF HIGHWAY DUE TO LACK OF PULL AND POWER. THE CARS IDLE OR RPM BEGINS TO JUMP ERRATICALLY AND REDLINING CAUSING THE CAR TO LUNGE FORWARD UNCONTROLLABLY AND THEN LOSE POWER BACK AND FORTH. NOW IMAGINE THIS ALL WHILE YOUR WIFE AND THREE DAUGHTERS (AGES 9, 4, AND 9 MONTHS) ARE IN THE BACK SEAT. VIRTUALLY HAVING NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR WHILE OTHER VEHICLES SPEED BY AT 70 MPH TRYING TO AVOID SMASHING YOU TO PIECES. THIS TIME THERE IS NO LIMPING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. BARELY ABLE TO MAKE IT OFF THE HIGHWAY, THE CVT IS SEVERELY DAMAGED AND INOPERABLE. CVT FLUID IS DRAINING RAPIDLY OUT OF SEVERAL DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. AS WELL, THE ENTIRE BODY OF THE CAR IS COATED IN TRANS FLUID AND SMOKE BILLOWING OUT OF THE HOOD DUE TO THE FLUID COATING THE ENGINE TOO. *TR
