I just leased a 2010 Rogue AWD 1 week ago. I love it. However... a few question/concerns have popped up.

First, I'm having the low rpm cvt shuddering issue people are talking about here and it sounds like it is normal and something I need to get use to? It almost feels like the car is gonna stall?

Second, my climate controls seem all wacky! If I go from defrost to vent the air conditioner turns on! I thought it was suppose to turn on when I went to defroster (which it doesn't) but instead it comes on when I leave defroster mode. I have to physically hit the a/c button to turn it back off.

I'm gonna go talk to my dealer, but wanted to get some feedback here first.

Thanks!

I too dont like the low rpm shutter BUT it is normal also when the defroster is on, the AC automatically turns on without the AC light coming on(im pretty sure) as well when i too leave the defroster setting my AC light comes on and i have to manually turn it off..these things are all normal and yea the having to turn the ac off manually is also a nuisance

I think the low RPM issue is "normal." I just purchased my Rogue on Sunday and have noticed the same thing. It is slightly annoying on the jump becuase as you get faster the car can really start to move.

Yup, this is normal. There is a complete description of how the defrost mode works in the Official Rogue FAQ. Here is the direct link to the thread:

Thanks for all the responses. Sounds like my experiences are in-line with everyone else's. I'm just glad to be rid of my Pontiac Aztek and enjoying the Rogue. But wait... did I see there is a tent attachment? OH NO!
