Vehicle Speed Control Problems of Nissan Rogue - part 1

I believe the issue is with the transmission by online research. I have had the issue multiple times. The vehicle sometimes hesitates to go when pressing on the gas pedal after being stopped at stop lights. This is a problem mostly when it is very hot outside. I have had multiple close calls when trying to take a right at red lights. I will have plenty of time before another car is coming but I try to go and the car hesitates or barely moves before it actually goes almost causing accidents. I have not been able to get the car to the dealer to try and reproduce the issue and I feel it would be hard to reproduce unless the car was driven for a bit in the heat. There are no codes or warning lights populating.

Issues accelerating from a complete stop. Happens sporadically, unable to replicate for mechanic, and no codes or warning lights. Has become a safety issue when needing to cross left at any intersection. Doesn’t not accelerate fast enough to safely cross even after flooring the pedal for multiple seconds and no warning when this issue will occur so car gets stuck trying to accelerate in the intersection with oncoming traffic, near collisions on passenger side from oncoming traffic on a route taken multiple times a day as there are no warnings prior to failure. Get stuck accelerating into intersection and can’t stop because cars behind me accelerate at a normal speed. Vehicle has been to repair shop.

My 2023 Nissan Rogue with less than 38,000 miles is experiencing severe engine failure. This has happened multiple times (more than 30 times) on the highway and in the city. When I am in slow-moving traffic or stop at a red light, the engine appears to rev and a warning light comes up "engine malfunction. Power reduce. Service now. " then the speed reduced, and no matter how hard I stepped on the gas pedal, the speed would not go past 8 miles per hour. I had to turn on the hazard lights to warn motorists behind me. To get the car to function, I turned off the engine, let it cool for a few minutes, and turned it on again. This issue has been going on for months. I took it to the Nissan dealership, and they could not find the problem. I am afraid of driving in slow traffic and of stopping at the traffic light. Please, somebody, needs to pass this on to Nissan so they can fix this problem? from online discussions, this appears to be an ongoing problem with many 2023 Nissan Rogues.

Automatic braking and crash detection alarm failed causing collision with another vehicle, totaling the car. That was the third time it happened. The first two times I was able to get the vehicle under control before collision. Problem was never addressed at a dealership due to scheduling issues. Problem first appeared in may 2025, then in July 2025. Collision totaling the vehicle occurred on August 6, 2025.

Me and my partner were giving a car for her birthday I use it more for work they gave us title but lately I been experiencing hits in car that we haven’t done or crash anyone or anything and also air bag activation and other problems the one has me worry is that rpm loses gas power on free way can’t go over then 20 loses power.

My vehicle abruptly went from 65 to 30 while driving with my children on the expressway. The check engine light and three other lights came on, and the car wouldn't start for an hr or so, and then it wouldn't accelerate past 25-30 miles, while all the check engine light and the other lights continued to stay on.

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 am first concern with the fact that the cvt transmission is not listed under the “component” section and this concern is a major problem many Nissan drivers are seeing. I would like to additional know how this transmission malfunction is not a safety concern as it tremendously affects the speed and operation of the vehicle regardless of maintenance. I have a 2019 Nissan Rogue sport that recently started to stall at red lights and even lose speed acceleration while in operation. Upon researching what this issue could be I discovered that most 2015-2022 model Rogue have this issue and it associate with the cvt transmission! my question and maybe great fear is why this doesn’t constitute for an immediate recall for Nissan by the NHTSA?! there are multiple reports on this issue to support our claims yet nothing. I strongly advise someone look into this matter before any loss of life happens.

I don’t know what malfunctioned excatly but I was driving on highway at 65 mph and vehicle just shut down so I pulled car off to side the dash said engine malfunction car shutting down to save engine.

Dash screens have gone totally black with no info being displayed while driving at interstate highway speeds. Displays stayed totally black for about 10 minutes and the came back on. *steering assist activated without any warning without cruise being turned on causing me problems when trying to change lanes. *with the cruise control not being selected, the vehicle suddenly started to accelerate until I applied the brakes and slowed the vehicle. Not reliable. On a recent return trip, the system had us locked on a location we were at possibly 8 hours earlier. The gps never updated as we came home driving thru west virginia, delaware, maryland, pennsylvania, & finally new jersey. *radio constantly displays a message that no receivable stations are available when we select the am or fm bands, but satelite radion is available. Although the radio problems are not a safety issue, they are a nuisance when traveling and trying to listen to local stations for road and weather reports. *recently occurring problem with the cargo door suddenly closing while we are loading/unloading the cargo area. Have had the vehicle back to the dealership many times for these problems with no resolutions to these recurring problems. We had opened a case#[xxx] with Nissan north America, but it was closed back in mid march2025 when we thought the problems were resolved. The re-occurring problems caused us to open a new case#[xxx] with Nissan north America. We want Nissan to buy back or replace this vehicle since they cannot resolve the stated problems.

I was driving and the accelerator pedal got stuck and it started to increase my speed. I kept pressing on the pedal and it still was not working. I had to step on the brake pedal several times, like 5-6 times before the accelerator finally became unstuck.

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.

Component failed: cvt available for inspection: yes 2019 - vehicle stopped responding when pulling out of my driveway. My car was going backwards and I had no control. I had to turn vehicle off and on again to fix this. Had inspection and diagnostics at Nissan dealership. They reprogrammed engine control. 2020 - vehicle was at stop light and started shaking. Then it stopped moving. I had to restart it. Had inspection done at dealership. Found no issue. 2023 - notified about recall, but when contacting dealership they said there was no recall. 2025 - when driving on highway car started slowing down. Hesitates and struggles to accelerate. This was dangerous because speed limit was 65mph, but my car was struggling to go 40mph. Started making loud noise when trying to accelerate. Took to mechanic, and found out this is issue with cvt, referred to service bulletin reference number ntb18-077b. Recommended going to dealership as service bulletin has been out since 10/2019. Again received communication there is recall for my Nissan Rogue sport. Called Nissan dealership and they stated there is no recall. I have appointment diagnostic inspection scheduled for tomorrow morning.

Car was driving fine went into a store came out a couple hours later car wouldn’t start. After jump starting it check engine light is on and awd system failure reads across the dashboard. The 2 back doors no longer lock/unlock unless you do it manually. Drove car home it is now shifting funny like a hesitation or slipping feeling while driving. There’s a little over 15k miles on it.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving, the vehicle failed to accelerate above 70 mph. The contact stated that the vehicle decelerated and stalled with a whistling sound coming from underneath the hood. The contact coasted to the side of the road to restart the vehicle; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. There were no warning lights illuminated. The dealer was contacted; however, the dealer was unable to inspect the vehicle until the impact bar was repaired due to the vehicle being rear-ended by another driver, and because the vehicle had a salvage title. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 104,490.

With no prior warning or issues while driving on the freeway the rpm’s on my car just went in the redline and the car just lost power and I had to pull to the side of the road and that was that. Had to tow it home and it has not moved on its own since. Had it towed to dealer it’s a transmission failure. Total cost of repair $8500 and I’m at 131000 miles so past any extensions even purchased the extended warranty to 100000 miles when I bought it new for $40000.

Traveling on highway in washington DC, cruise control shut off and powered down car, electrical warning for rear doors not closed, seat belt and airbag warnings. Engine lights came on by the time we got into NY, gas fumes in cabin, and oil was down 2 quarts. Car would not go over 40 at times. Car has been at dealership for over 65 days with work done to turbo, cvt transmission, bearings, leaks in headliner, oil consumption and electrical issues, etc. Nca and bbb claims filed, only given some of the work orders as dealership and nca refuse to provide anything. Defect form sent to nca as well. Independent mechanic also reviewed car after it was initially returned to me for less than a week. Mechanic supplied a write up and pics confirming the transmission and oil leaks as well as leaks in engine and electrical issues were not resolved. In addition, the car now has water leaks on headliner and it smells moldy. Please note: this site only allowed me to add 1 document. I can provide all documents if you provide an email or link to do so. Thank you.

There's a delay when pressing the accelerator pedal. This happened once and I took it to the mechanic. He mentioned that the cvt transmission code came up. He did maintenance work on the car on 12/10/24. Oil was changed and everything else he said needed to be done. He also mentioned that some Nissans had that problem with the cvt transmission. It happened again yesterday. Upon looking into it online, there's a few other Nissan vehicles with this problem. This is a very dangerous situation. The first time it happened, I was with my family on the highway and I was unable to accelerate. My family got very nervous. Thankfully, I was able to pull over to the shoulder. That's when I took my car to the mechanic immediately. Yesterday I was picking up my daughter from school and the same thing happened. I had to put my emergency lights and stay in the middle of the road until the car accelerated again.

Car stops abruptly when no objects or cars are in the road - had to push through on the gas to not be hit/cause and accident. • seems to be (ntb19-033f). But no longer/ never active for 2019 Rogue? • can kill someone and cause severe damage to humans and vehicles/property. • has happened twice (June 2024, January 2025) thankfully with no crashes, but very possible. • local dealership says it's not an active recall and > $2000 for repair on Jan 9, 2025 2019 Nissan Rogue sport sl.

I believe my cars computer is being hacked. Some things I’ve noticed are stereo issues the volume goes up and down or the music skips intermittently. Some times the music turns off. The collision symbol prompts on the dash. Acceleration issues. Antilock breaks don’t work, sometimes. Safety features are being turned off. My maps goes offline. My update for maps in nebraska isn’t listed but all the other states are listed. Awd button doesn’t work, sometimes. I am worried for my safety. I took it to Nissan and they updated the sonar component system. It helped some. Stereo issues are still present. Music is still turning off by itself. Volume is still going up and down and the radio not a cd is skipping intermittently. Nissan stated they have no testing to see if any malware has been installed. I contacted Nissan consumer affairs. They are chosing to do nothing at this time.

Forward collision system turns off while driving causing vehicle to randomly jerk an slow down in traffic. Taken the vehicle in 4 times to have them look at and service center refuses to help me an give me any information on when there will be an update. Received an email for a recall made an appointment for said recall arrived at shop and my service was refused. Asked for documentation on service being refused an got told they could not give me that. After an hour of debating finally receive paper. Leaving store once again my cruise control turned off an vehicle jerks. All this has taken place at billion nissian in sioux falls. They are unwilling to assist me in anything for my vehicle. Have documented proof of all occasions and I am still refused service from the shop.

While driving 55 mph and coming to a four way intersection the automatic braking system engaged and momentarily applied the brakes. This did not cause an accident because it was brief. It would have caused a serious accident if I were on ice, or turning, or several other situations. The dealerships I called said they new of no such problems with tis model. Yet it's a well documented problem with this model. The warning lamp came on after the incident and comes on often. The problem has not been checked by a dealer since they say it is normal and want to charge to check it out.

I took my car to the Nissan dealer because sometimes when I am stopped with my foot on the brake the engine will start to accelerate trying to overcome the brake. The only thing I can do to stop this is turn off the engine. This has happened 4 times in the last month and not before. The dealer was unable to find anything wrong and could not duplicate this action. I have now been referred to Nissan consumer affairs, bureau of automobile repair, new motor vehicle board and now your agency, I feel that this vehicle to drive because it could cause damage to me, my car and the the public. The last time this occurred I was stopped coming out of shopping center waiting for the traffic to clear when the car started accelerating which would have pushed me into the oncoming traffic. Hopefully, you'll be able to help me as now of the above mentioned agencies have been able to help. The only date I can give you for certain was 12/23/2024.

1/2024 car loses power going from 70mph to about 40mph - dealership adjusted transmission fluid, 12/2024 started having power issues again dropping from 40mph to 20mph. Dealership said they couldn't do anything until it starts happening more frequently. So I'm suppose to just drive it with a potential crash that could hurt or kill someone. Not acceptable, Nissan needs to recall 2012 Rogues due to transmission issues before someone gets killed.

The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while attempting to make a turn, the transmission inadvertently downshifted and the accelerator pedal was inadvertently depressed. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact was informed by the dealer that the failure could not be duplicated. The contact stated that the failure recurred, and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer referred the contact to the manufacturer for assistance. The dealer recommended to the manufacturer that the gear shift lever be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The manufacturer approved the recommendation by the dealer and the contact was informed that the shift gear lever would be replaced. The contact also was informed by the dealer that parts for the gear shift leaver were not available and were on back order. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 46,200.

On December 3, 2024, the transmission on my 2017 Nissan Rogue would not shift out of 2nd gear. I was driving home from work on a crowded freeway. When the traffic subsided, I could not make my vehicle drive faster than 20mph. I exited the freeway as soon as I could and pulled over to call the auto club for a tow. The tow truck driver said that this is a known condition with this model of transmission. My vehicle had 71,000 miles and had been properly serviced and I have the records to show it. The service at the dealerships were closed so I had it towed within the mileage range so it would not cost me anything through aaa. The mechanic kept my car for a week and replaced the transmission valve body which cost me $1871. 68. I called Nissan hq and spoke to a customer service rep, customer service supervisor, and the executive office for Nissan. All three company representatives would not reimburse me because I did not go to a dealer for repair. I explained that I was stranded, barely outside of warranty by time or miles (I had purchased an extended warranty which expired 5 months prior. ) I feel the transmission failing with such a young vehicle is a safety issue and I need to be reimbursed. I used work at Toyota motor sales for 23 years and they would have reimbursed their customers for this vehicle failure. Please help. Thank you.

While driving on the expressway, the car started to slow down, a awd error came on dashboard, driver proceeded to emergency lane, car came to complete stop and would not restart. Had car towed to Nissan auto service department. P26a3-00 engine coolant bypass valve was replaced. This system malfunction could have caused loss of life .

When driving the rpm will be high but the car will not pick up speed. Many many times I’ve had to quickly put my hazards on when merging onto freeways or busy streets.

Vehicle was brought in for an oil change and service appointment at the Nissan dealership the day before and was then driven 300 miles. The following day, it was being driven at 40-50mph in residential area when suddenly the gas pedal became unresponsive and the vehicle slowed down on its own in traffic. The message appeared on the screen "engine malfunction, power reduced, service now" and the car would no long go faster than 12 mph. The car had to be turned off and on 4 times before the error cleared and was then able to be driven again.

As I was driving yesterday car jump down to 5 mph. Message came on engine malfunction power reduced service now. Thank god no cars was behind me. I pulled over turned the car off then put it back on. It did run but engine was loud. Today on my way to work car engine is loud and car feels heavy.

Forward collision sensor comes on and deactivates the cruise control and all safety features, sometimes breaking and quickly deceleration the car in traffic, dealer and Nissan refuse to address the issue telling me it's working as intended, feels like the car intends to kill me when this occurs in traffic.

The car is slow to accelerate when stopped and after a few seconds will kick in and "peel out". It shutters, stalls, and goes fast. I was turning left on a yellow light and the car just stopped. The oncoming traffic had to slam on brakes, swerve to miss me and the car peeled out suddenly. I was nearly t-boned with my kids in car, then nearly hit other cars when accelerated extremely fast. The dealer did recreate the issue and says it needs a new cvt transmission for $7,500. No warning of this problem. I thought it was the fuel injector or bad gas at first and had the fuel injector cleaned. I was never told that Nissan is known for this problem. Once I took back to dealer at 101k miles, that's when I was told it needed replaced. Conveniently after the warranty expired. This was bought for Nissan dealer as a "certified used car" but it is a very dangerous car to drive period.

Car engine light came on and the vehicle automatically slowed itself down to 20 mph as I was in a 45 mph zone, with multiple traffic behind me. No warning!! a hazard sign lit and the mil lit up, saying there is an emissions control system malfunction and to immediately take the car to a repair station. Nissanconnect also sent me a text at 5:12 Saturday night, all repair stations closed. This was very dangerous and the system should not have taken over complete control of the car at that very instant, leaving me completely unable to control the car. It was out of the blue, and I’m still shaking.

While taking off from a stoplight, the car did nothing when I pushed on the gas-then it jumped into gear & took off abruptly. This has happened multiple times. Just last week, I was driving & it started revving at higher rpm’s. I had to pull over and shut the car off and restart.
