2008 Nissan Rogue CVT Transmission getting replaced

[orijin]

Here is my story over the weekend out of nowhere when i was done shopping at sam's club I started my car and it suddenly felt like the car was grinding or rubbing against something when i droved it. It made a slight screeching noise thinking it was the brake pads wearing off i decided to just ignore it and drive home.

I would say 10 miles down the road i heard a slight pop noise and then approached a red light and stopped. The light turned green and suddenly to my surprise my car wouldn't move at all, the car would just rev in place. I thought my car stalled or something. Eventually somehow the car started to move again and stopped moving altogether again.

Eventually i finally got a safe area and manage to get AAA to tow my car back, the tower said your car was leaking engine fluid because it looks like fresh engine fluid right there. And he asked if i got an oil change recently, which i did at a nissan dealership so i assumed they must have messed up on my oil change. No lights came on during this whole time.

Eventually i called the dealership yesterday and told them the story and told them that engine oil was leaking out of it. It got towed and then the dealership called me back after examining it and said the CVT transmission blew or some sort and they would need to order a transmission from nissan and it should be fixed by friday.

Then I asked for a loaner and the dealership said Nissan will cover for the loaner and also cover for the towtruck.

To my surprise Nissan's warranty on CVT transmission is 10 years or 120,000 miles.

Anyway just wondering if anyone else experienced this yet?

Nissan recently announced the extended warranty:

You are one of the very few who have experienced outright transmission failure... to the point the vehicle wasn't drivable. There have been maybe 1 or 2 other reported cases here on the forum. There are several who reported transmission 'noises' and had it replaced under warranty, however the vehicle was still drivable.

While driving 70 mph, I heard a loud bang and saw stuff spewing out of the back of my car. Turns out I had what the dealership called a "catastrophic transmission failure". Everyone there stated that they had never seen anything like it but then followed up with that they couldn't open the transmission to actually see the damage. (?!?!?!?!) So, they are replacing the transmission and I'm nervous about driving it again because I drive into very rural areas. I've had the car since May 2008 and I've put 89k miles on it...
