Can they back that up with any stastistics or facts? Looking at CarComplaints.com you'll find under the Top 20 Most Often-Reported Complaints, Honda has four vehicles and Ford has three vehicles with transmission problems. You can research any vehicle and find problems, but what counts is if the manufacturer stands behind thier product with a solid warranty. Nissan does.

IMHO, there seemed to be some transmission issues with the first two years of the Rogue's intro, BUT these have been addressed. Frankly any new model will have kinks that need ironing out. Let's not forget, the Rogue transmission is a CVT, and is a completely different experience from a standard tranny. Frankly it's not everyone's cup of tea. Do take one for a good test spin, or see if you can rent one for a few days from a car rental company.
