Good New! The CVT noise on my last post was not the problem.
Our Nissan dealer said everything checked out no trouble codes were found. There were no down hill grades near the dealer to duplicate the noise vibration.
So with a little more inspection on my part ,I found the problem, the rear heat shield which covers the top part of the exhaust pipe was causing the vibration when going down hill at 40mph and 2500rpms. The reason, broken spot weld on the heat shield causing the vibration.
Simple fix just a Aero Seal Clamp no more vibrations.

I'm glad to hear it was something simple!
Re: Rogue CVT Noise Followup
Regardless, you should still trade it in for something better.

Anything without a CVT. j/k. Actually, if you're happy with it otherwise, you should keep it. though based on Nissan's track record with that era CVT, I'd recommend replacing it before the extended warranty expires. That means enjoy it for a few more years.Clarajack wrote:What would you suggest is something better?
