My 2018 Nissan Rogue Sport has been exhibiting intermittent CVT transmission hesitation for several months. The hesitation occurs regularly after stops and during longer drives, and the only way to temporarily resolve the issue is to turn the vehicle off and back on. The check engine light has also illuminated. My vehicle only has 67,000 miles on it. I brought the vehicle to a Nissan dealership where I was quoted $7,240 + tax to replace the full transmission assembly. I contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs who declined to offer any assistance. This is a serious safety concern — the hesitation after stops creates a significant risk of accident, particularly in traffic. I fear that the transmission will fail completely while driving, potentially causing a severe accident. This appears to be a widespread and well-documented issue with Nissan's CVT transmission. I am requesting that this issue be formally investigated and that Nissan be held accountable

The vehicle experienced a sudden failure of the continuously variable transmission (CVT) while in operation. The failure occurred at a four-way stop during snowy conditions when I attempted to proceed through the intersection and the vehicle would not initially move or transmit power to the wheels, leaving me stopped in the roadway and unable to clear the intersection, creating a safety risk due to oncoming traffic and reduced traction and visibility. At the moment of failure, the check engine light illuminated solid and remained on, and has not turned off since. Although the vehicle was able to move afterward and be driven to a dealership, it exhibited loss of normal drivability. The vehicle was inspected by a Nissan dealership, which diagnosed a failed CVT solenoid and advised that the transmission is expected to progress to complete CVT failure. The dealership provided a repair estimate consistent with a full CVT replacement. The vehicle has not been repaired due to the cost and remains unsafe to operate. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The manufacturer (Nissan) was contacted for goodwill assistance and denied coverage. I am aware of a prior lawsuit involving Nissan CVT transmission failures; however, my vehicle’s model year was not included in that settlement despite experiencing a similar failure.

My car started smoking/steaming while I was driving through town at night, shortly after the engine light came on and my C/H indicator sailed over to H. I pulled over and immediately shut the car off, called for a tow truck. Took about 10 minutes for it to cool down and stop smoking/steaming. Mechanic ran a diagnostic on it and told me that the cooling fan broke and that it could have started a fire had I kept trying to drive it, said they measured the temp inside and it got up to 268 degrees. They ordered a new one for me, but were told that it would take a while because there were 26 other customers ahead of me that were also waiting for one. My car is still sitting with the mechanic if it needs to be inspected, this is the first time that I have had any trouble with the vehicle in the 3 years that I have owned it.

Last night hot air was coming out of my A/C and I shut off the car and it would turn back on again. It happened 3 times until the 4th time it shut off. When I went to start the car, it would not start. I waited one hour until the mechanic showed up. He revised the car and could not see anything except that the car would not start. We tried to start the car and at the 4th attemp it started and I went home with the engine light on. I went to have it check with a computer and I have a diagnosis of: code-p1217 engine over-temperature condition, code-p0090 fuel pressure regualtor control circuit, code-p0507 idle air control system RPM higher thatn expected, code-p0087 fuel rail/system pressure - too low.
