What owners say
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.
The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue Sports. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the vehicle failed to accelerate immediately. The contact attempted to restart the vehicle approximately four times before being able to start the vehicle and accelerate as needed. The contact used Google to research the failure and linked the failure to the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). The contact became aware of how to reset the vehicle and pressed the parking brake, placed the vehicle in drive and then accelerated to drive the vehicle. After arriving to the residence, the contact attempted to reverse to park the vehicle however, the vehicle failed to reverse. The check engine warning light was illuminated. After repeating the reset procedure, the contact was able to start and drive the vehicle however, the vehicle was lagging while driving at slower speeds. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered to pay half the cost of the repair. The failure mileage was 37,400.
Since 2017 car has had issues with toward collision warning and cvt and inaccurate odometer information. There could be no car anround and randomly warning comes out throughout the whole drive and times randomly un safety brakes. CVT transmission constantly hesitates on highway and main roads and has gotten worst over time. I took it to the dealership months after purchasing to see what could be done. They could not find anything . I continue to take it to other places only to find out that the transmission CVT has issues or not just this vehicle but most Nissan rogues sports. Recalls about it the cvt has been reported but nothing has been done.
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.
*Updating earlier entry* Loss of speed while on cruise control, no forward movement while at a stop and no ability to reverse. Local mechanic confirmed transmission failure. Specific code "CVT Judder P17F0". Nissan customer service #1800-647-7261 refuses to acknowledge defect. Claims only transmissions manufactured within a certain area qualified for replacement. For the record, I have zero check engine lights and there were no warning signs of potential transmission issues.
Cvt transmission went bad on this 2017 nissan rogue sport with only 67,000 miles and I bought it brand new
