#12 of 13 2008 Rogue CVT Transmission by dajani Apr 14, 2009 (10:48 am)
I bought my Rogue S FWD brand new with 33 miles on it back in August 2008. The car drives nice and smooth except for one weak point. The rpm shoots up to 4000 when going up the road and goes down as it picks up speed. The Rogue does not have the pick up power to go up hills, it drives fine on flat roads, it feels like the tranny is slipping. I contacted the service dept at the dealership where i purchased the vehicle, but they said they cannot do anything about it. Few days ago, and with 6000 miles on the vehicle I traded the Rogue with Nissan Altima SE V6. I took a a big loss trading the Rogue with the Altima. There is a big difference between the way the Altima V6 CVT and the Rogue drives. I wish I bought back then a Honda CRV crossover SUV or a Toyota RAV with 5 SPEED AT. Does any body experience this kind of a problem? Replies to this message: mlmcgahee (Apr 14, 2009 2:41 pm)

Replying to: dajani (Apr 14, 2009 10:48 am) 2008 Nissan Rogue SL base model. Bought it in November 2007 and I'm fixing to hit 36000 miles. I have had zero problems with my Rogue. No problems going up and down the rolling hills of north east Georgia.
