general problems of the 2015 Nissan Rogue

I am the original owner of a 2015 Nissan Rogue (VIN: [xxx] ) with approximately 63,000 miles. After driving for about 20–30 minutes, the engine will suddenly rev up but the vehicle will not accelerate or will barely move when I press the gas pedal. This has happened multiple times when trying to merge, climb hills, or cross intersections. The vehicle loses drive power even though the engine is running and revving. When this happens, I have to move over and wait until the vehicle cools down before it will drive normally again. My Nissan dealer has diagnosed the issue as a failing cvt transmission and quoted about $7,700 to replace it. This behavior creates a serious safety hazard because the car can lose power in traffic, leaving me unable to accelerate to highway speed, climb grades, or clear intersections. I am concerned this may be related to known Nissan cvt problems and believe it should be investigated as a safety?related defect.

My wife and I were returning from a thanksgiving trip to relatives in virginia southbound on I 95 she was driving and we both felt the car shudder as we began to lose speed. There was no acceleration even though the tachometer was in a high range. We limped into a rest area ,shut down the car and called a tow service. We were towed to deacon jones Nissan in golsboro, n. C. Where we were told we needed a new transmission. The service manager told us this cvt transmission is supposed to be serviced every 30 k miles . We were at 87734. There was never a dashboard warning light to that effect nor any notice from Nissan. Our expenses were: transmission=$6619. 34; towing=$155; 2 nights at hotel=$201. 38.

Transmission jerks. Cvt transmission causing significant issues. Have already changed faulty valve body, mass air flow sensor, and idle control sensor.

I first started noticing this transmission acceleration problem about a year ago when my vehicle has been in stop-and-go traffic for at least 30 minutes or more, the transmission feels like it is going to stall. Pressing on the gas won’t accelerate the vehicle or it is very slow to start moving no matter how hard the gas pedal is pressed. The rpm speeds to 4-5 x1000 but the transmission gear feels stuck at 40mph max. Usually I have noticed that if I am able to pull over and stop the car for a few minutes, I can restart the car engine and didn’t’t see signs of the problem again. My husband believes it’s a transmission and gear shift problem that once the Rogue has been in stop-and-go traffic the system isn’t shifting gears correctly. It put myself and my husband at risk since we took the vehicle on a road trip, my husband finally witnessed this happening. It usually only happened to me when I’m coming home sitting in traffic. When I got off the freeway to surface streets, being stuck at stoplights or stop signs had this issue occur a couple of times. I took my vehicle to my local Nissan dealer for inspection but the tech. Said they couldn’t mimic/reproduce the problem/issue I was reporting. No other inspection has been made. And no warning lights came on during the problem the few times it has happened. The engine was really loud this most recent time because I was unable to stop and pullover right away. I am open to having my vehicle inspected further for this issue.

When it rains, the lights inside start flashing, it throws a check engine light and error messages about chasis control and braking system, the lights inside flicker, turnsignals and flashers stop working, the car goes into limp mode and you can't turn the car off .

Car was feeling sluggish while driving about 20 to 40 mph then all the sudden there was no acceleration even though stepping on the gas.

I own a 2015 Nissan Rogue with 70,000 miles. Pulling into driveway at 2mph, car suddenly accelerated by itself , leaving me with no control over the car and unable to make it stop before hitting a truck in the rear and pushing the truck sideways. The truck had been parked in driveway. Brakes did not stop the acceleration. Skid marks noted for a couple of feet. Had my 3 year old grandson in the back seat in his car seat. Person's truck I hit, saw the whole event happen. Engine rev'd up and jerked forward. No one was hurt but I was hysterical having my grandson in the car with me. Car had to be towed and still needing to be taken to repair shop. Awaiting to hear from insurance agent on which autobody shop it should be taken to. Truck that I hit had a lot of rear damage.

Issue occurs when driving around a 30 minute plus commute. When driving at an incline the vehicle fails to accelerate and reduces speeds rapidly changing from 65 mph to 40 mph. Rather scary to have cars flying by with lost of acceleration. There has been 3 incidents of this occurring. No accident occurred was able to pull over each time due to driving in the slow lane.

Without pressing the brake my car's shifter will go into low gear or another level. This has caused my car to stall out, and a dead battery. This happens when I am driving only.

Our cvt transmission went out while going 70 down the highway. Completely out of the blue, no prior symptoms. No acceleration. Almost got into multiple accidents. Nissan will not pay anything to help us with this, despite the thousands of submitted issues with cvt transmissions. Our family has 3 Nissans and 2 have had cvt failures. We will never buy Nissan's again.

Lack or power,hesitation while accelerating,making whining noise and is shutting off plus topped when I was driving and waiting on the light.

My car was in motion while driving on the interstate when I realized my car was losing power while I was trying to accelerate. My car did not come to a complete stop but it dropped from 70 mph down to 30 mph gradually. I was able to safely move my car to the side of the road and call for roadside assistance. Weeks before I noticed my rpm hand jumping erratically and when I went to get to diagnostics no one could find anything wrong with my car. I finally took it to Nissan on the day that I was driving on the interstate and I lost acceleration. I was informed by several mechanics that it was my transmission and that Nissan has an issue with transmissions and it wasn't worth the money to be replaced.

2015 Nissan Rogue, brought brand new, has 63,000 miles. Having transmission issues for >9 months. I have had no previous issues until then. I cannot drive for more than 30+ min before my vehicle starts stalling at stoplights/stop signs. When I go to accelerate after briefly stopping, the car stutters and bucks until I press harder on the acceleration. The stuttering gets worse the longer you drive it. The safety issue with a car not properly accelerating when you need it to, is concerning. I have taken it to the Nissan dealership multiple times and they claim they cannot "duplicate" the issue, while the technician admitted to experiencing my complaint while he drove it a few times. They say nothing can be done because no codes are rendering a problem and I have to wait for the "problem" to get worse or ultimately, until the transmission "goes out" as the Nissan rep told me.

Fails to accelerate on long trips, just completely stops accelerating unless vehicle is stopped and allowed to cool off for 10-15 minutes.

Yesterday I came from birmingham and I was going 70 mph my SUV is whinnying I couldn't go pass 70 I floored it still nothing speed I had to spot on the side of the road to start driving to pick up speed I'm at 113,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. While driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning and was unable to be restarted. Once restarted, the vehicle was shifted into reverse and the vehicle stalled again. Additionally, while the vehicle was idling at traffic lights, the rpms would idle at a low rate with the vehicle almost at the point of stalling. The vehicle also hesitated when accelerating from a stop. The vehicle was towed to Nissan of stockton (located at 3077 e hammer ln, stockton, CA 95212, (209) 956-6500) to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code or duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure occurred six times daily. The manufacturer was contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 27,000.

Takata recall, I was driving back from denver going west in i70. Tried to go over eisenhower pass and my car felt like it was stuck going uphill. It would not accelerate past 45mph even if I stepped all the way down on the gas pedal. After driving over the the pass, going downhill it seemed to have resolved. But now everytime I try to drive uphill, it will not go past 40-45mph.

I was driving south on military trail preparing to turn right at pipers glen. The light was green and there was a white car in the middle lane waiting to enter military. I slowed down to make my turn and suddenly my car accelerated. If I continued to turn there was no doubt I would have hit the waiting car. I proceeded straight, passed this car and drove onto a grassy area. My front wheel hit the curb which slowed my car but pushed me along the side of the white car causing damage to both cars. The fire trucks came and a police car. Since no one was hurt I was instructed to leave my car there to be towed . My son picked me up and I called the towing CO. About 1 hour later I was called and told the tow was on the way. When we arrived to where my car was I was surprised to see the front lights on. There was a motor noise and the hood was hot . Whenwe left the car there it was locked and the motor was not on. If this were not the case I would not have been able to lock this car having a keyless entry. I am concerned about ever driving this car with less than 10,000 miles. I called both Nissan and the repair company and reported what happened. They told me they would scan the car but sometimes nothing shows up. I use military trail almost every day and pipers glen leads to my home. I am happy that no one was hurt but haunted by realizing what may have happened if I attemped to make that right turn. Both these roads are city streets. I have no picturesexcept for my memory.

On December 10, 2016 may son and I went to supercuts near louis henna blvd and ih35 north around 11:00 am, when I went to pull into a parking spaces, I slowed down from driving about 10 miles an hour, took my foot off of the accelerator, applied the brakes to park and the 2015 Nissan Rogue I was driving did not slow down, in fact it accelerated and threw vehicle up against a brick and morter pillar. Meanwhile I am still trying to stop the vehicle by braking and vehicle is in park. Vehicle after about 2 minutes stops acceleration and I cannot get vehicle out of park, I kept trying to get vehicle out of park to reverse it off of the curb. Finally after several attempts, I move into reverse to get car off of curb. The whole front end of my vehicle is crashed. There are pieces of my vehicle on the sidewalk in front of asian restaurant. Restaurant employee witnessed the whole thing and he comes out to see if we are okay. I checked to see if my son wichar cleveland is okay. The airbags did not deploy. I contacted elephant insurance. I don't see any fluids so I drive vehicle to service king, very slowly, a few blocks away. I called Nissan on Monday, they took my info said someone would contact me. Dehenry called next day, said Nissan is not liable. I requested they let me trade vehicle for a new one, I don't want to drive that vehicle nor should anyone else drive it. I also asked they pay for car rental, deductibles, towing or any of my expenses. Nissan informed me they could not send an investigator to look at vehicle until January 5, 2017 with no guarantees that Nissan would be liable. I researched the vehicle online and this has happened before to someone else yet Nissan has not done a recall. I guess they will when someone is killed!.

Almost 3 months into car while driving speed was like when the car is in neutral(but on drive) & if I pressed the gas pedal nothing happened then it turned off. I thought it was a 1 time thing, then it happened again almost 2 months after, dealer said we cant find the problem. It happened 2 more times they could never find the issue. Then it wouldnt even turn on making a loud noise then saying key not detected. Then after this towing company jump started car, & at the dealer it happened to them once. They said they tested everything but car would say key not detected. Then after we told them we submitted everything to corp[orate office they said it was just the battery & it didn't happen again. Service manager said that the juice in the battery was all drained & something else had to cause that especially when it says key not detected. That they don't feel safe us taking car back until they can find issue but luis at Nissan north America said that is not what service department told them. That they can't help us doing a buy out for this defective car because to them nothing is wrong with it. This is a very hazardous and unsafe matter and the last time it turned off on me I was in the highway i45 had to slowly let it go to the side road until I was able to turn back on. At the moment is still at the dealership. The only person trying to help & seem concern is doug at service dept.
