nothing was DONE.. I refused the 3,000 repairs and did them elsewhere for 700.00. In the end Nissan was wrong on all "bad" parts and it was unusual wear from bad motor mounts that were not on nissans repair list. The instal of the front right axle was # 4 since I owned it in 2018... In the aftermarket instructions it said to check motor mounts and BEHOLD- the answer. |
| 57800 mi | Dealer finally admitted something was wrong with the transmission and said it needed to be replaced, under warranty. I had heard the well-known Rogue CVT transmission rattle since I got the car at 30,000 miles.

Dealer admitted it was due to their failure to connect it properly. |
