Thankfully it was still in warranty. Hopefully mine will last 200K...time will tell.soccerfan wrote:My daughter bought a used Rogue in June 2012 to replace a totaled vehicle.
She was in grad school, and just beginning to flex her muscle about making her own choices,
and decided she wanted this 2009 rogue with approx 60K on the clock. I did all the research, and
was really put off by the transmission issues, but allowed myself to be persuaded by the factory
increase in the transmission warranty to 120K. She graduated in May 2013, got a job, moved out, you know,
the usual drill. This past June she called me, upset, and said that her Rogue needed a new transmission.
Apparently it went into limp mode while her future mother in law was driving the vehicle from
Wichita Falls to Fort Worth. She took it to a dealer in Weatherford,and, as it had 108K miles
on it and the warranty was 120K, replaced it with a new one. Lots of fussing ensued, and I reminded
her that I advised against buying this vehicle in the first place, but this was her first "big girl" decision.
The factory warranty on the replacement is 12 months, Not exactly a ringing endorsement for reliability.
She is now newly married and trying to decide whether to dump this. She owes about $3K on the vehicle
and it's worth maybe $6K, so she's not gonna lose money, but her plan was to drive this thing into the ground,
which she had hoped would be 200K.
It's not really my place anymore, but I'm pondering advising new son in law to drain and fill the tranny regularly,
and maybe we should install an auxilary cooler? Anybody have a specific cooler they have installed and recommend?
I agree....Honda's CVT seems to operate much smoother and seems to be a better design than Nissan's CVT. A lot of this most likely has to do with Honda's extensive background in engineering and R&Ddeevel79 wrote:I have a 2012 and at 38k miles the transmission starts whining after about an hour of driving when accelerating. Does this mean its on its way out? Thankfully this is a lease and I'm turning it in in just a few months. These Nissan/Jatco cvt's are terrible. I have a 2014 Honda Civic with a cvt and it's much more refined than the one in my Rogue.
UPDATE - The service writer at my dealer said that my CVT issue has been logged under my VIN, and if there is a failure that arises (even outside warranty) that it should be covered because:phmichel wrote:This is a very valuable thread guys, especially the conversation here:

Mine is a 2013 S purchased from Hertz in July. Great vehicle, but I noticed that the CVT whines when climbing hills hot. At 30k I took it to my local dealer in NW Oregon for the 30k service. I noticed oil seepage on the back motor mount and they said a tranny seal will be replaced under warranty (they also fixed an annoying rattle from the heat shield on a TSB under warranty). They had to order the seal and I am having it replaced and a drain/fill done next week.
I also had a long discussion with the service writer about the CVT whine. Because the problem only occurs at speed after a long drive when hot, they said they would not be able to duplicate the situation with a tech in the vehicle. The CVT has never gone in to limp mode.
I agree about duplicating the conditions, but I'm guessing that just because I present a condition to the dealer that could lead to a failure later, and they tell me there's nothing they can do, that I would be liable for the repair or replacement outside of the warranty if the CVT fails?
YES. You have a 1st gen Rogue, therefore you can use the CVT from ANY year 1st gen model (although I wouldn't take one from an '08 or '09).qwertio12 wrote:hi im new to this forum i have a 2010 rouge my bearing is whining only when you moving. what i want to know is what year cvt can i install. i read on here you can use a 11 12 13 rouge cvt is this true.
