So I want to ask for more info on the "upgraded transmission" that Nissan is going to be providing to you. Did you get any more info on this? This sounds strange to me, what exactly would be "upgraded" about this tranny relative to the trans that the rest of us have?
Squid, on the other forum one member posted a sound clip of the noise, but I don't find it very useful as the sound is typically not very loud and when recording it the other sounds such as the engine get in the way. In person, you know if you've got the noise, there is no reason for someone to play a recording of the sound. It is a grinding rattle sound that a vehicle should not make. In my case, it lasts only a very brief half second when I'm declerating, just before coming to a stop around 10km/hr, and if I coast at 10km/hr and gently press on/off the throttle it occurs repeatedly, and the sound is exactly as I've described "grinding rattle", similar to the sound of shaking rocks in an empty pop can. |
Well I have to disagree with you on this. How do you or anyone else know what a Nissan Rogue CVT should sound like since it is a new model and tranny? A great example is my 1 ton diesel dodge. If you'd never been around a diesel before you would think the engine is shot because it rattles and when I'm stopped and put it in reverse or drive the brakes groan which would make you think the brakes have a problem but in fact it's just all the torque and LSD rear end combo. My Nissan Titan with the twin cams also makes a top end noise that sounds like a lack of lubrication (Tapping sound at idle which is horrifying stopped at a drive thru) and there have been lots of owners in the beginning that thought their engine was bad so to try and dismiss me or anyone else looking for more information makes me wonder why? I've still not talked to a Rogue owner in person who has a problem with their Rogue.
Maybe you guys should stay off that other site since that seems to be where the problem is and it's contagious?
