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.

After I paid for the Reset and pulled out of the CS garage my vehicle started jerking and grabbing. I took the CS representative in my vehicle and Jackie felt this. The issue could not be found. I took the auto back and now I received paperwork saying that the issue could not be duplicated. I took my vehicle then in October 3rd, 2023 with an appointment at 1p. The issue could not be found. I had 2 different times 2 techs ride in the parking lot. The car's drive shaft was taken out and another was placed in. Tech drove and the issue remained. My old drive shaft was returned to the vehicle. Next, my AWD coupler was unhooked. I didn't feel the issue. Then this was hooked back up. I was told around 4: 45p that day that the service tech was going to call me the next day, No invoice was received. Now I had a whirling/rubbing sound anytime the vehicle was moving along with the jerking. The CS rep never called me and I called a few days later. I was told the part wasn't cheap and it was the AWD coupler. The phone estimate for working on the vehicle with labor, and the part was 2500 and taxes. That was the verbal phone estimate. I took my cousin to Parkway on October 9th. We received a paper estimate. This is a similar problem to your NTB20-069. The exception is below 20 mph for the jerking, and turning the wheel for turns. Worse at very low speeds. Such as looking for a parking spot in a parking lot and right about ready to turn I get jerking and feel as if it bounces forward and backward as I was told AWD issues will feel like this. I was told the part will be ordered and I believe if it's similar to NTB20-069 there is a defect in the AWD. (the work/labor for 10/3/2023 and the replacement of the AWD coupler will be on the final bill) The other complaint form for another issue on 8/2/2023 is when it started AFTER receiving the invoice and starting to pull the vehicle out of the CS garage doors.

I was driving my 2017 rogué sport on the freeway and suddenly it began to jerk up and down speed and I tried to brake and the brake did not respond suddenly it accelerated and went off I could not brake and I could not control it and the weather did not help me it had rained And as you will understand, the car turns off and the brake doesn't work, we ended up in the retaining wall, we hit the front and reversed and we were stopped in the middle of the road. I tried to start the car twice and the third time it started and so on. I was able to get off the freeway at low speed and it kept pulling

Transmission failure. While driving on the expressway my speed (while set in cruise control) began to fluctuate. The RPMs dropping then rising and the car jerking. I exited the expressway and stopped for a red light. When the light turned green I accelerated but went no where, you could here the engine revving but there was no forward motion. The engine caught after a couple seconds and I immediately went to my local auto shop. They confirmed transmission failure. Cost of $5600 repair. No warning lights on dash, no prior car issues. Only 168,000 miles.

For over a year, I've had trouble with one of the tires losing air every few days. I'm thinking that perhaps it is the valve stem, but I'm not a mechanic. The other day, though, I was accelerating on a mountain road moving about 45/50 MPH and the car stopped accelerating. It was as if it was in neutral and could no longer move. I had to have it towed back to my house, about 5 miles away. It still will not move when I put it in gear. I tried several times while waiting for the tow truck and a few times it would go into gear, but moved very slowly. When it moved about 5 ft, it would again act as if it were in neutral. The last time I tried, the mil light up and has not gone off. I just went and tried it again and took a video so you could hear that it is now whining louder than normal and when I put it in drive, it actually jerked and started rolling backward. It looks like I can't upload the video, though. I added pictures of what is lit up in the panel.
