While driving my 2023 Nissan Rogue, the engine suddenly stalled as I approached a stop sign. The dashboard lit up with multiple warning lights, including the oil pressure warning. When I attempted to restart, the vehicle made a loud grinding/knocking sound, failed to start properly, and then shut off again. I was unable to restart the vehicle myself. Later, at the dealership, they reported that they were able to turn it on and drive it, but they could not confirm the stall I experienced. The vehicle has also shown other concerning symptoms: shaking when idling, jerking when stopping or accelerating, and occasional grinding noises. My local Nissan dealer eventually reported a broken transmission mount but did not find engine or transmission codes. I am very concerned that my symptoms (stalling, oil pressure light, grinding on restart) are consistent with the open recall for engine bearings on this model. The dealer admitted they currently have no guidance or remedy from Nissan for this recall, so no proper inspection or fix could be performed. Safety hazard: this is a serious safety issue. The car stalled unexpectedly in traffic, leaving me without power. I was unable to restart it, and I feared the engine could fail completely at higher speeds, which could put me and others at risk. Concern: Nissan has not yet provided dealers with instructions or remedies for this recall, leaving owners with unsafe vehicles on the road. I strongly believe my case should be investigated as part of the bearing recall.

Error message: "engine malfunction power reduced service now" this is the second time this vehicle had this problem. It will suddenly stop in the middle of the road or freeway when this error appears. First report NHTSA complain # 11647388 (Feb. 2025).

I believe the issue is with the transmission by online research. I have had the issue multiple times. The vehicle sometimes hesitates to go when pressing on the gas pedal after being stopped at stop lights. This is a problem mostly when it is very hot outside. I have had multiple close calls when trying to take a right at red lights. I will have plenty of time before another car is coming but I try to go and the car hesitates or barely moves before it actually goes almost causing accidents. I have not been able to get the car to the dealer to try and reproduce the issue and I feel it would be hard to reproduce unless the car was driven for a bit in the heat. There are no codes or warning lights populating.

Oil pan plug broke off of oil pan. Will need full replacement of oil pan. I'm seeing online a lot of others having the same issue with this exact model.

I was driving on a highway when my car began to stutter. It felt like the vehicle was struggling to accelerate, so I attempted to pull over to a side street for safety. However, before I could do so, the car completely lost the ability to accelerate and gradually came to a full stop. I managed to get it onto the shoulder just in time, but this occurred on a bend in the road, where visibility was limited and traffic was fast-moving. Multiple vehicles had to swerve suddenly to avoid hitting my car. Because the road was narrow, I couldn’t safely exit the vehicle without risking being hit. Police were called to the scene and had to park with emergency lights to protect me and other drivers from a potentially serious crash. A tow truck was dispatched, and the vehicle was transported to a Nissan dealership. The dealership confirmed that the cvt transmission had failed. This failure placed my safety and the safety of other drivers at serious risk, especially due to the sudden and complete loss of power in highway conditions. There were no warning lights, messages, or prior symptoms, the failure was immediate and catastrophic, transitioning directly from stuttering to full power loss. The vehicle has since been inspected by Nissan, and the diagnosis confirmed a total cvt transmission failure.

When car is at a stop I need to press the accelerator all the way down for the car to go. It goes very slow (almost slipping) and feels very dangerous (risk of being rear ended). This started 2/3 weeks ago. My mechanic replaced the transmission fluid after finding metal particles in it. Also mentioned over a quart of transmission fluid was missing. They advised me to get a whole new transmission. I contacted Nissan consumer affair since there is a class action law suit for my Nissan Rogue. Mileage as of today it 84,400 miles. Car is being inspected as we speak. They did not find any code and it passed everything so I have to pay $730 for further inspection.

The vehicle has hesitated intermittently for some time. More recently, it becomes stuck in 1st gear, revving to over 4,000 rpm. The only temporary fix for both issues is to turn off the engine and restart. Service visits: 1. 7/22/2025 – tacoma Nissan – 77,663 miles - reported intermittent sluggishness and hesitation when accelerating. - no codes found. - requested cvt fluid check per TSB. Dealer refused unless I paid for a full fluid change. 2. 7/24/2025 – korum Nissan – 77,731 miles - paid for cvt fluid change since tacoma Nissan refused to inspect without it. - problem persisted. 3. 7/28/2025 – korum Nissan – 77,960 miles - reported hesitation and possible limp mode. - no codes found; no repairs made. I am filing this complaint regarding my 2018 Nissan Rogue s awd with an ongoing cvt transmission problem. This model is known to be affected by documented transmission issues, and Nissan has issued multiple technical service bulletins (tsbs) — specifically ntb15-083b and ntb20-035a — covering situations exactly like mine, where the transmission exhibits hesitation, poor acceleration, or becomes stuck in low gear without storing any diagnostic trouble codes. Relevant TSB guidance as it applies to my case: - ntb15-083b and ntb20-035a instruct that even when no dtcs (diagnostic trouble codes) are present, service departments must follow Nissan’s cvt performance diagnostics. - this includes checking cvt fluid condition, inspecting for internal pressure loss, and assessing for mechanical wear that may require replacement. - these tsbs also address repeated hesitation, sluggish acceleration, or limp mode behavior that temporarily resolves when the ignition is cycled — exactly what my vehicle experiences. Despite three documented service visits in July 2025 confirming my complaints and matching these TSB descriptions, the dealerships did not follow the required TSB procedures or replace the transmission. With my factory warranty expiring on August 24, 2025, I am at immediate.

This car only have mileages of 62014 and is maintained regularly on time. There is no any accident with this car. I drove this car in the past 3 months and have no any issue. However, when I reversed the car from my garage smoothly in the morning on July 15, 2025, the car couldn't move forward with malfunction indicator light on. The diagnostic codes p0776 and p0965: Nissan cvt solenoid failure. The Nissan extended warranty is 84 months/84000 miles. The car was not drove too many in the past 3 years. So, the car is not eligible for the extended warranty by time (8 years instead of 7 years) but do be eligible by mileage (only 62014 miles) . The Nissan policy is to determine the eligibility by which criteria (time/mileage) come first. The cvt problem is really common to the Nissan Rogue. The Nissan should extend the warranty coverage on the mileages (84000 miles). Hope the Nissan could improve the quality on cvt and extend its warranty to 84000 miles only.

I have had this car a little more than two years. I took it in for a recall and they told me the transmission mounts needed to be replaced. The service department said that the repair was not covered and charged me two thousand dollars ($2000).

I purchased a 2017 Nissan Rogue used from a Nissan dealership with 58,617 miles. At around 99,000 miles, the vehicle began experiencing dangerous hesitation and shuddering. A certified Nissan dealer diagnosed a failure of the cvt transmission, specifically citing code p17f2 (judder condition). I was quoted over $6,000 for the repair. This issue matches known Nissan cvt defects that have been subject to multiple lawsuits and technical service bulletins, but my VIN was not included in prior coverage extensions. Nissan denied my request for goodwill repair assistance despite having documentation from their own dealer. This failure poses a safety concern and appears to be the result of a widespread manufacturer defect that has not yet been formally recalled for all affected vins. I am submitting this to request investigation and accountability.

I was driving on the freeway and my car started slowing down to the point of intermittently stalling. The mil or check engine light came on. I could have been hit from the back if I did not successfully pull to over to the side of the freeway. I slowly drove it to a safe place and had my car towed to the Nissan dealership. It will now be looked at on Monday.

The cvt transmission in my 2019 Nissan Rogue failed unexpectedly at approximately 45,000 miles, just one year after the factory warranty expired. I first noticed issues on July 4, 2025, when the vehicle began hesitating and jerking in idle and occasionally during acceleration. On Monday, July 7, I drove it to a certified Nissan dealership for inspection, and during that drive, the check engine light came on. The dealership confirmed complete transmission failure. There were no warning lights or messages prior to July 7. The failure made the vehicle unsafe to drive, especially when merging onto highways or crossing intersections. The quoted repair cost was $6,500, which was unaffordable, forcing me to purchase a new Nissan vehicle instead. Nissan declined to offer any goodwill assistance despite the low mileage and known history of cvt issues in similar models.
