2010 Nissan Rogue Noise-need help!

[Jason usask]

I bought a 2010 Rogue last year. After driven 10,000km, it starts having sort of low vibration noise. Normally the noise will could be noticed when the speed is between 70km/h ~80km/h.It sounds like something is doing cyclical motion.. Does anyone have the same problem?

Welcome to the NICOClub Rogue Forums Jason usask!

Noises can be difficult to troubleshoot. There are a few known noises from the CVT which are completely normal:

1) Low rpm vibration. Typically found during city driving. This is caused by very high gearing and low engine rpm's.

2) Whirring noises during acceleration/deceleration. Sometime louder when the outdoor temperature is very warm (ie summer).

3) Rattling noise on deceleration. Common on '08-'09 Rogue's, new TCM software eliminated most of the noise.

Have you had the dealer check this out yet?

Thank you for replying. I haven't heard the first two types of noise but my car does have the third one!! The dealer identified the noise but they said they can do nothing about it!. The noise I was talking about in this topic is different ~ I just sent my car to the local dealer and hopefully can get positive answer at the end of the day. I will keep updating so that anyone who faces the same issue can get more inf.

Does this happen in a specific RPM or a any RPM you bring it too?

AWD?

It normally happens when the RPM maintains at around 1500.

Just got the car back from local dealer. Not happy with the result at all. The dealer identifies both noises but they said they can do nothing about it. They said the noises came from the transmission and they don't know what exactly the problem is, but it won't cause any safety issue (It sounds unreasonable...how can you conclude something without knowing what exactly the conditions are?) Then I questioned this, but they said Nissan Canada is looking at this issue and gonna release update the program that will solve both noises. However, they said they didn't get any timeline from Nissan Canada. Don't know how to response that ..... If it is a problem with the program, why would the noise happen after 7000K? Just made a complaint call to Nissan Canada and see how it goes

Thank you for replying. I did contact Nissan Canada but didnt get anything back from them yet. I don't think they did instal the TCM. The dealer mentioned that the problem was commonly seen on 08 and 09 model but Nissan Canada couldn't solve it properly on 10 model. Therefore, the dealer said there is no choice but waiting.
