Defective transmissions jerk, stall, shudder, hesitate, and even suffer from premature transmission failure. Unexpected surge of power from the engine. I carried it in the Nissan crossroads wake forest nc. They told me cvt unit needs replacing. The vehicle left me stranded on interstate 40 driving back from morrisville nc from work. After several tries I finally got it to the dealership at 11pm leaving me stalled again . I could have caused an accident. The vehicle only has 92,612 miles. Nissan won't take any interest in paying for the repairs even though they have had lawsuits along with multiple complaints about their cvt transmission. I'm a single mom working during this covid virus to shipper myself and my child with no other income. This vehicle is too new to have these problems. I have to drive an hour to work and an hour back. I need a vehicle ASAP . I'm still lock in payments with this vehicle and cannot afford to trade with this vehicle malfunctioning.

5 Transmission Failure problem

Failure Date: 08/02/2018

My 2016 Nissan Rogue experienced an abrupt and total failure of the cvt transmission. I was not able to accelerate and the vehicle would lurch and lose power. This abrupt failure makes me feel very unsafe for myself and my family that rides in this car, had it stalled on the busy st louis mo interstates we would have been hit and possibly killed, luckily I was on a busy, but less traveled road and I was able to limp the car to the dealership. My vehicle only has 41,000 miles on it. Once I got to the dealership, I insisted that they ride with me so they knew what was happening and not try to say that they couldn't replicate the issue when driving it alone. The service professional was very upfront and honest with me and told me it was definitely the transmission and Nissan has tons of these issues with their vehicles. My car has been in the shop for over a week now for a transmission rebuild. However, Nissan is not offering an extended warranty or anything on it, even though they know they are faulty and dangerous, I will only have 20,000 miles left on my warranty once I pick my care up from the dealership. Nissan doesn't offer loaner cars to those with warranty work that needs done, we have to pay $35 a day due to their faulty vehicles, the least they can do is offer loaner vehicles for warranty work! Nissan needs to held accountable for their lemon vehicles and be required to buy them back on the first transmission failure. I no longer feel safe driving this car, even with the rebuilt transmission and I don't think that it should be my responsibility to trade the car in, roll over thousands to another vehicle loan and pay $1500 or more in taxes to license and title another vehicle. Nissan needs to take care of this and they need to be fined for their continued use of faulty transmissions and made to buy back faulty and dangerous vehicles.
