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 transmission would not go when the gas pedal was pressed. This happened at least 3 times since I’ve owned this vehicle. I was making a left hand turn crossing traffic and the vehicle would not go with oncoming cross traffic. This last time was a close call and my son was in the front passenger seat. Problem can not be reproduced on demand. It randomly happens and throws no codes or check engine light. The vehicle has only been inspected by the dealership and independent shop. No warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to or after failure. After a few seconds of unresponsiveness the transmission will begin to work correctly again. By the time I get it to a shop nothing seems wrong with it.
While driving the vehicle it acts like it’s reading the remote key, batteries have been changed in multiple occasions as well as keys have been swapped. It makes an action like for the car shutting off while driving. It constantly alerts that the key is not in the car, while the key is near the ignition button
CVT Transmission failed. Car is only at 60,000 miles and in great shape. This costs $5,000 in repair. No warning signs, the car's tranmission no longer works.
