I've been trying to figure out the prevalence of the
problem for several months now......so far, my
verdict is that the tranny problem happened on a
very small percentage of the AWD Rogues....which
may indicate that a bad "batch" of trannys made
it in to the production line at some point in time?
I have 5000mi on mine and all is well, as are the
very large majority of all Rogue AWD owners. So,
I believe, at this point in time, that you would not
be purchasing one that had the problem.....I think
that the affected ones are already out in the
public domain.
I must admit, the biggest problem I've had with
mine is the worrying about getting the problem,
which is a self-inflicted pain in the butt! Other
than this self-infliction, the car has performed
flawlessly to this day.....
So....your call....
