CVT issue on 16 Rogue SL

[datechboss101]

Recently after my 25,000 mile oil change at my Nissan dealer, the CVT transmission is acting really weird and making different sounds at different RPMs. This was first noticed earlier this week, while I was driving it at around 2000 RPMs and then it got even worse at around 3500 RPMs. Is this sign that the CVT is starting to fail or going bad?

If it is, then I still have a warrenty up to 72 months/72,000 miles.

Have you read through this thread: CVT Transmission Issues. (Fail safe, Whining, Temps, & FIX!)

Yes I know you have a 2nd gen model with the new revised CVT, but the info still relevant.

I have a 16 SV AWD and received a notice that my Rogue needed new computer programming for my CVT. Had it done and it seems much improved. Have you checked with your dealer to see if yours might need it?

THIS IS A WARNING TO ALL NEW AND SEASONED USERS:

• 1. USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION: ODDS ARE, Every topic you can come up with, has already been discussed. Sorry, but your question doesn't deserve its own thread, if a thread has already been started. If the topic has not been discussed, then feel free to create a new thread.
  2. USE THE CORRECT TITLE: That means, make sure your title has the topic at hand. Don't title something: "I have a question" or "Small concern" or "strange issues". Instead title it: "tire tpms question" or "Rear bumper paint issue". And don't title it one problem, and list 10 different issues that are completely unrelated! example: "Strange noise when driving" and then you go on about asking questions about oil changes, led headlights, new rims, and your mothers' ford bronco transmission issues, etc.
  3. LIST YOUR YEAR, MODEL, ETC: Give us as much info as possible. Members are not mind readers, nor do they have time to dig for answers.
  4. WE CAN'T GUESS WHAT NOISES ARE: Ask 10 different mechanics/members what a "rattle" is, and they will give you 300 different possibilities (ball joint, exhaust, shield, strut, hub, lose hatch, etc). Please don't even bother. A "rattle" can be metallic (tin or solid metal), plastic, body parts, junk we put into a car, etc. A tap, rattle, ting, clank, or scratching noise can describe 100,000 different parts and yet be different or the same description for one another; depends on the person. You call it a rattle, I call it tapping, she calls it a shaking metal, and he calls it a metallic noise. Please don't even bother posting that you hear something rolling/making noise INSIDE THE CAR - unless you have turned your whole car upside down FIRST. We are not there with you. I am tired of reading new threads that get updated a week later with: "flashlight in the trunk, baby rattle, etc" - when members spent their time, coming up with possibly could be wrong with your car mechanically. Its just not fair to everyone.
  -4a. POST VIDEO CLIPS OF YOUR NOISES: If you ask a question regarding some noise, make sure to accompany your thread/post with a video- with an AUDIBLE sound clip. we are not mind readers, and don't know how you differentiate between taps/bings/tangs/rattles, etc. WE WILL LOVE TO READ ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCES, AFTER YOU HAVE RESOLVED THE PROBLEM! SOME PEOPLE FIND A STRANGE LOCATION, SOMETHING COULD ROLL INTO - SO FEEL FREE TO SHARE AFTER THE FACT!
  5. UPDATE YOUR THREADS: If you ask a question prior to getting expert help/repair - make sure you come back and update your thread. It's not fair to have a bunch of opened threads with unanswered concerns; when you got the repair. I cant stand someone coming in, asking a serious question, and disappearing. I have seen people coming in stating they smell a sweet smell, and its relatively new. Members start posting hypothetical fluid leaks, repairs, diagnostics, etc; and 2 weeks later, after 2 pages of members speculating, the person updates that his wife put a new air-freshener under the seat, and didn't say anything.
  6. IF YOU ARE TOO LAZY TO POST EVIDENCE: (by evidence, I mean photos, videos) Then people will be too lazy to speculate on your complaints. It's that simple. People are not going to sit and spend time writing up posts, answering each others posts, when we don't have enough evidence of the problem. We can't judge what you see, feel, smell, hear. Help us, Help you! I cant tell you how many times I have seen some lazy thread-starter, post that he/she sees lines on the paint-job, and it looks like a scratches. People start posting and coming up with potential theories, repair idea's, personal stories, only to hear back from the thread-creator A WEEK LATER, that it was a spider web stuck onto the paint.

If you fail to follow the above rules: you will be issued infraction points. Enough points, and you will be banned. We (mods) simply do not have enough time to handle the constant flow of bad forum etiquette. It's your job to follow the rules. It's your job to do your own research on here. It's your job to add and share here. It's the Mods job to tidy things up - not babysit.

A lot of already opened threads, can be found here: ROGUE DIY REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE, FAQ & INFO, TIPS, etc

To make a point here, I daily drive a Honda Accord on a daily basis. The Nissan Rogue is the family car in my family, so I don't have that time to make a video of the sound. Plus, I am not used to the search tool, I rather have other people to give me advice, than reading other people's thread. As for the dealer, I haven't had time at all recently due to the amount of work that I am getting. This sound that I am getting from the CVT is getting louder on ECO, Sport and normal while going full throttle going up to 3000 RPMs and also when my foot isn't on the accelerator.

OK, well then we're done here. I would suggest taking it in and let a mechanic hear what your noise so they can offer a solution. Topic closed.
