Two problems related to automatic transmission torque converter have been reported for the 2014 Nissan Rogue. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2014 Nissan Rogue based on all problems reported for the 2014 Rogue.
The cvt transmission torque converter clutch experiences intermittent failures when traveling at highway speeds. The vehicle cannot maintain normal highway speeds and slows to dangerously slow speeds for highway driving, forcing the vehicle to pull off. Once stopped, the vehicle sometimes cannot accelerate to even 20 mph. This creates a very dangerous highway situation. I believe there are numerous Nissan models with this exact same problem.
Wife coming home after dropping daughter off from school, car felt jerky and unstable, pulled into the driveway and engine died. I then started vehicle, shifted into reverse, vehicle died. Tried again and it started, but had lots of hesitation, took to dealership, they had it for 3 working days and could not duplicate the error and no error code, so they sent the vehicle back to us. Next day wife went to pick up daughter from school and while pulling out of the school parking lot, car died and they were almost struck by another vehicle who was traveling at higher speed. Could start the car, but could not shift into any gear without car dying. Once again, no trouble/error codes were being fired off. Took car to dealership where again they tried for 2 days to get the car to act up, until finally it acted up on the freeway where it almost died there. They diagnosed the issue as a faulty torque converter, which requires a full transmission replacement. The vehicle only is 3 years old, with only 75,000 miles on it. This is a safety issue, the car cuts out with little warning at low speeds, meaning especially dangerous when trying to make turns and accelerate into traffic. Additionally, no error codes were thrown at all, and took 6 working days at a dealership to determine the issue. Furthermore, it is sporadic and cannot be diagnosed easily or quickly, suggesting that there is a high potential for this issue to occur with other vehicles and they will be sent back out on the road without having the issue fix, placing people in significant danger. This is the first year of the redesign of the Rogue and one of the first sold in texas, but this is unacceptable and extremely dangerous as there is no way to easily diagnose the issue and how the failure occurs. All recommended services were performed at Nissan dealerships for the transmission as well at 30k and 60k.
