When I first received the care it would either be sluggish or delay when accelerating. My cvt power reduced light started to come on at 44,000 miles. This happened for a total of 6 times before the dealership was able to diagnose it. The transmission was finally replaced at 55k miles. My car is now at 59,975 miles and not only has the cvt power reduced light come back on, but now the engine light has also appeared. I also having issues with the screen shutting down in the middle of driving. The dates of all these incidences have been ongoing from 6/2024 to 7/2025.

2018 Nissan Rogue with 110,000 miles transmission has failed and needs to be replaced. Stranded my granddaughter. Vehicle was inspected by a garage and they have confirmed that a new transmission is required. Cannot replace with a used one because there are none available since this has occurred in many vehicles apparently. No warning or signs of this prior to the transmission going out and unable to put into gear. The vehicle is available for 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.

Recall 25v-437 on my 2022 Nissan Rogue. On 07/16/2025 I brought the car to greenacres Nissan for the recall service. The dealer told me it was fixed, but the NHTSA site still shows “recall incomplete. ” I followed up several times, but the dealer only sends the same generic reply and won’t confirm if the repair was done. This makes me feel unsafe driving the vehicle, and I need to know if the recall was actually completed.

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.

Brand new Rogue at 400 miles(no previous owner) cvt malfunction due to incorrect grounding of transmission on mount. Resistance is not good and causes a draining battery… flickering lights, loss of power steering and slipping of gears. Mount is neither grounded and is experiencing a high pressurized leak. Dealership has noted leak at 20k and has considered services from the past at 46k. They note antifreeze/coolant but it is clearly transmission fluid. Wife is scared. Almost got in an accident with 2 year old baby and their parents due to jerking transmission on the road at 40k. Self serviced transmission fluid at 43k and have found very black burnt transmission fluid. No more road side assistance due to needed jump starts… Nissan claims it is the battery but this is 5th battery to be tested non-defective and new lifepo4 battery is saving lives but dealership refused to work on my car further until they see the oem battery even if I use the original they want a new battery which will ultimately leave me stranded or loss of control unless driving over 100mph in case of emergency? I have proof and images alongside a real forensic case. Dealership may be tampering with vehicle or vehicle did not pass inspection… electrical issues were prominent at first 1k but accused of “phantum burst” or leaving lights on… parasitic draw directly from alternator mount and transmission fluid at a high pressurized leak. Build quality looks like it was squeezed an good half inch to the right and components are overlapped when originally they weren’t. A/c lines poor seal. Vacuum leak in engine filter compartment resulting in undesirable dirt debris. Coolant becoming very brown more often… and components in the car not shutting off including stereo and settings in the dash. Casa has claimed to fix the “no-start condition” during a recall campaign but did not… requested 900 dollars for fluid change and new battery before looking at leak… flagstaff Nissan did miracles but did not note short.

My acceleration hasn’t been working properly. I had my car inspected by a third-party and they said my transmission is slipping. The mechanic said this is a defect he is seeing in my type of car. He said bring it to Nissan so I did. Because there is no light or code popping up yet in my car, they refuse to do anything. They told me to keep driving my car unless a warning light comes on, despite me informing that I almost crashed several times due to the lack of acceleration.

Battery had to be replaced during 1st oil change. Transmission failed at about 30,000 miles and was replaced. Transmission light went on again we were told it was the transmission it was the gear shift assembly (claiming something spilled in it - not true). Not covered and would cost $1350. . . Charged $260 for diagnostic. Had repaired separately, transmission light is still on. Claiming not covered under warranty even though car has about 80,000 highway miles. I think this car may have an undying electrical issue and our safety is at risk.

I was driving down interstate 40 at 75 miles an hour and my car just quit in traffic. Luckily I was able to pull over to the side of the road and set for about 10 minutes and my car started back up and I made it about 30 more miles and it quit again and I waited 10 minutes and it starts up again. That’s very dangerous in traffic.

Vehicle has a habit of losing speed, even on cruise control, when going more than 70 mph for extended times and dropping below 60 when doing so on interstate with no warning lights or system notifications. The most recent occurence was on Saturday, June 7th when driving on the interstate and cruise control engaged at 73 mph when it cut off, dropped to just below 60 without warning and would not accelerate back when pedal completely depressed and then ac system started blowing hot air and compressor would not kick back on. First attempted to check freon and those levels are not the issue- air blows but blows hot without cooling at all. This did occur in sustained temps in the low to mid-90s.

When I was driving my 2017 Nissan Rogue sport it was jerking forward as I was driving with no other issues show before. I took it to the mechanic and they pulled the transmission fluid and it was dark and smelly. The check engine light came on and I was told not to drive it. With further research I have found that others were having this issue as was advised to make a report about it to assure safety for other people.

The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving 60 mph on the highway, the vehicle suddenly decelerated to 40 mph. The contact stated that the vehicle was jumping while accelerating. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact pulled over safely and restarted the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to three independent mechanics who determined that there was a malfunction error and cvt judder. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 141,832.

The contact's niece owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while her niece was driving at various speeds, the vehicle made an abnormal sound that increased significantly while exceeding 40 mph. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the contact was informed that the abnormal sound was coming from the transmission. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 56,773.

There is an odd engine 'rattling', 'guzzling', 'slurping', type noise coming from the engine and the engine has begun to idle very rough even after fresh oil change. This is directly the issue cited from Nissan as recall with no current solution - which is unacceptable. We are not interested in waiting until the car malfunctions worse and in a dangerous way in order to get this recall addressed.

The cvt transmission in my 2018 Nissan Rogue failed catastrophically at 92,000 miles, far below industry standards for drivetrain reliability. This failure, tied to known defects and past class-action litigation, caused severe safety risks and financial hardship. Despite these issues being well-documented and covered in extended warranties for some vehicles, Nissan never informed me of any potential risk, leaving me unprepared. The failure caused a sudden loss of power, limiting the vehicle to 40mph, creating a dangerous situation, especially on highways where maintaining speed is critical. I had to drive the compromised vehicle to a Nissan dealership for diagnosis, putting myself & other motorists in danger. The issue was confirmed and reproduced during diagnostics, with an estimated repair cost of nearly $10,000. Before this, an independent mechanic had also diagnosed the problem, citing transmission failure with documented codes. However, Nissan refused to accept outside documentation, requiring diagnosis from their service center. No warning lights or dashboard messages appeared before the failure. Symptoms like difficulty accelerating and erratic rpm fluctuations began about a week prior but offered no formal alerts. Nissan’s refusal to provide assistance after the diagnosis cited the vehicle being out of warranty and my failure to use Nissan dealerships for regular service. This ignored challenges such as the rural location of their service centers and covid-related limitations during my ownership. This failure highlights a broader safety & reliability issue with Nissan’s cvt transmissions, which the company has failed to address adequately through recalls or customer notifications. I urge the NHTSA to investigate these defective transmissions and require Nissan to take necessary actions, including recalls, to protect consumers from safety risks and financial burdens. The faulty transmission remains in my possession and is available for inspection upon request.
