1 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 09/24/2025

While driving down the interstate, as I exited my vehicle lost power. It would rev up but no movement. I turned the car off and restarted, now the car will drive but the power output to the wheels does not match rpm's. Check engine light came on, went to autozone and ran diagnostics and the code says stepper motor on cvt transmission. Started checking it out, the dealer says only transmission replacement will fix it.

2 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 01/18/2025

The vehicle was experiencing judder on two recent occasions. The vehicle was just over 90k miles and due for a cvt fluid inspection. After experiencing brief but violent jerks/judders while operating between 1,500 and 2,000 rpms, I took the vehicle into the Nissan dealership for said fluid inspection/change. The dealership declined to perform the requested service that day and instead recommended I 'replace transmission and install transmission cooler' due to a "p0744" code read from the vehicle's odb. The vehicle's tachometer would bounce when the vehicle was experiencing the issue. What's particularly concerning is that the vehicle has received the regularly suggested maintenance and shows no warning lights on the dash. I researched the p0744 code for the 2014 Rogue and found the NHTSA published service bulletin related to this problem. I'm quite concerned that the dealership didn't offer this investigation as a primary option. The steps detailed in this bulletin: [xxx] are surely less expensive than the transmission replacement recommended. It concerns me that Nissan is skipping prudent and more cost-effective diagnostic steps seemingly due to their tacit acknowledgement that these cvts were poorly built- hence the extended powertrain warranty that was offered to settle the class action lawsuit. It appears that poor/self-serving advice continues to be given to Nissan customers rather than acknowledge the design flaws of the 2014-18 Nissan Rogue cvts.

3 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 07/13/2024

There has been an issue with cvt on this transmission for many years. My vehicle has had this happen 3 times now. When I’ve contacted my dealership they always tell me there’s no recall etc! when traveling on a highway in warm weather…. The rpm goes way up and you can not accelerate. When you pull off and shut the vehicle off and start it again. It will work fine. I just read that Nissan had put a “governor “ on the transmission as a safety feature. And this was the suggestion to pull off and shut vehicle down for 10 minutes as this “resets” it! I was not made aware of this malfunction! when I called Nissan today the agent told me there was an extended warranty on my vehicle but it expired January 2022! there is absolutely no warning this will happen. I was ahead of a truck in I-88 when all of a sudden my vehicle was slowing down and I was not able to accelerate and had to pull off on a unsafe part of the highway!.

5 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2023

The cvt transmission in my 2014 Nissan Rogue was replaced by Nissan in 2018 at 30k miles. Now 52k the cvt transmission has malfunctioned once again. Nissan has a class action lawsuit on this issue. Nissan is refusing to pay to have this cvt replaced even though they know it is a failed and potentially unsafe system. I am now passed the time limits of the original new warranty, but not passed the mileage limits. The vehicle can be available for inspection. The problem began a few months ago when the vehicle stalled (lost all power) at least three times on the freeway and/or side streets. The vehicle totally lost all power. I had to slowly drift to the side of the highway and then the vehicle restarted. On the side street the vehicle stalled, and I put the vehicle in park and then the vehicle started up again. A few weeks ago, the engine light came on which prompted me to take the vehicle to the Nissan dealer for inspection. They could not reproduce the issue but, told me I needed another cvt transmission due to code p1740.

6 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 06/03/2023

My transmission failed. There was a recall on the transmission, that I am not sure I received. Nissan consumer affairs opened a case but will not assist me with the cost of the transmission. I have to pay 5621. 00 to have a new transmission installed. Nissan admitted had a faulty part in the 2014-2017 Rogues - the cvt. The transmission was slipping and it could have led to an accident, but did not. The vehicle was inspected by the Nissan dealership and they are installing a new transmission. Is there anything you can do to assist me. Thanks.

Failure Date: 11/26/2022

The cvt transmission lost power, deceleratted on highway causing significant loss of speed. Nissan knows of this manufacturing defect and fails to help. Driving these vehicles put occupants and others on the road at great risk. Nissan should replace these transmission free of charge to the customer.

The vehicle has a cvt issue that causes the error code p17f1. The vehicle has 143k plus mileage as a result Nissan doesn't was to fix it. The car stalls while in motion and has to be stopped and restarted presenting a huge safety concern. The sad part is Nissan knows about this quality issue and there was no recall to fix it. Now they are using the high mileage as the reason to not fix the problem. On 10/2/2022, while the following traffic, the car stalled and nearly cause a pill up if the driver behind me wasn't Smart enough to divert quickly to another lane. Please I need help.

10 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 08/13/2022

Hi, I have issue reported from Nissan dealer for my Nissan Rogue 2014 model -first owner. It just did 56487 miles and I have done regular servicing maintenance for oil changes as per standards. Despite all this ,on (13th Aug 2022) the issue started I noticed lurching,jerk and stalls whenever I stop at intersection or comes to sudden halt with warning in dashboard. I have to put the gear to park mode and switch on the car again and it starts with slight jerk and able to drive . As such there are no warning lights when car is started. Just happened 2-3 times and I had to let it at dealer for diagnostics on (15th Aug 2022) the dealer said my transmission is defective and has issues and out of warranty since they consider only 1st 7 yrs and I am at a loss to replace transmission and problem was reported for one more timing solenoid problem . I was told one of the 3 solenoid is also having problem. It happened even while I come at slow speeds and merge at highway too. This is dangerous to drive when such things happen . I am not happy with the car hardly 7 yrs and coming to halt to give a big expense for such a brand car and puts safety of passengers on risk in just around 50k mileage range.

13 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2022

I was driving on the highway on my way to work when the check engine light came on in my car. I was pressing my foot on the pedal and trying to accelerate but my car wasn't gaining any speed. It got to the point where I started to lose speed and had to pull over on the side of the highway. When I was pressing on the pedal I heard a pumping like sound but the rpms were not going up at all and the car wasn't moving. Going in reverse did not work either. I waited around 20 minutes for the car to cool down and I was then able to drive at low speed to work. No one but me has looked at the car so far.

18 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 04/29/2022

2014 Nissan Rogue 103,600 miles, was running errands on my lunch break, made first stop and as I was pulling forward to a stop sign, vehicle lurched forward, hard jerk like motion, felt as if I was rear ended. Drove vehicle a mile further, stopped the vehicle turned off the engine went into a store, upon return vehicle started immediately, however upon putting the vehicle in drive or reverse, vehicle immediately stalled. Attempted same action a few times, same result. Check engine light would illuminate when vehicle would stall. No prior warnings, no prior issues. Vehicle towed to dealer, dealer advises torque converter issue, and a new transmission will be needed. Thank you Nissan, after years of battery drain issues and replacing the battery several times in few years & no resolve to that, this is what I get, can't say I'm surprised. Lets not forget the 2016 recall for the fuel pump issue that left me in my vehicle stalled out several times in rush hour traffic, unable to move the vehicle, & that was after the recall was "taken care of". Have read many horror stories now, and I'm convinced Nissan is selling junk to everyone, and they know it. The class actions are doing nothing to keep them from selling faulty vehicles. They were forced to stand behind their product for up to 120k miles up to year 2013 but after 2013 they're forced into a not so generous 84k miles extension. They claim their vehicles last up to 180k miles, but won't stand behind that claim. Bogus! will never buy another Nissan again!.

25 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 08/03/2021

In August 2021, my cvt transmission went out while traveling out of state. The vehicle was only 6 years old and had just recently reached 100,000 miles. There was no prior warning that would have alerted me to this issue, and the vehicle was checked out before taking the road trip. After having to tow the vehicle to a repair shop, I had to get a rebuilt cvt transmission from Nissan which took over a month. My family and I had to fly back home and were without a vehicle for over a month. In may 2022, while on another road trip, my vehicle stopped accelerating, the check engine light came on, and wouldn't shift. After turning off the vehicle for a while, it started shifting again. On July 3, 2022, the same issue happened again. I will have to take the "new" cvt transmission in again for a transmission issue.

29 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 06/25/2021

I took my Nissan rouge in September 2021 to a mechanic to check my car. I explained I was driving to from tampa to orlando in the I-4 and I could. Or accelerate, the car speed stayed at 40 mph speed , and not going more than that. I had to pull over because my car was almost wanting to shut off. Very scary situation. After my mechanic checked my vehicle, he advised me that my transmission was faulty and that I should not drive it far distance as I did. The worst part is that my Nissan never gave me any warning of the issue. My mechanic gave me a price of over $3000,which I could not afford. Now I have a car that has a bad transmission and no money to fix it.
