Throwing code P0841. RPM’s bouncing, slow to accelerate, enters limp mode. Dangerous when on the road as the car is not properly accelerating with the flow of traffic and could potentially stall out in the middle of the road. Will need either the valve body replaced or an entire transmission replacement. After a lot of research, this is an EXTREMELY common problem with this CVT transmission and I feel it should actually be addressed by Nissan instead of customers continually having to shell out thousands of dollars in repairs of a transmission they know fails. This car doesn’t even have 100K miles on it.

What owners say
Radiator fan leading to engine overheating, fan fails to turn on causing high engine temperatures & AC failure. Nissan is aware of issues & takes no responsibility. Early on when vehicle experienced symptoms & under warranty, I brought vehicle in several times & was told they couldn’t find anything wrong. Since warranty has expired, we’ve had to fix once & now it’s happening again. Some symptoms: loud rattling in engine bay, AC blows hot air while idling & low speeds, engine overheating & stalling.
In October of 2025 my car stalled in slow traffic after a 100 mile car ride. After 20 minutes, it started again. The engine code was P0507. Two weeks later, without warning as I was accelerating on the highway the car stopped in the middle lane. This was incredibly dangerous. I had to wait 30 minutes in busy am traffic for a police escort. And the event was costly as I had to pay $200 to be towed off the highway. Once the car arrived at the service center, it started again. The mechanic convinced me to replace the purge solenoid as a starting place to address the problem. The car ran normally from November to March. In March 2026, after almost two hours in stop and go traffic, the car engine stalled out again. We pushed the car to the side of the road and waited 20 minutes. The engine started again. The coolant was below minimum and the computer code was P1217, engine overheat. My mechanic found a faulty cooling fan and replaced it on 3/17/26. This experience of the engine suddenly stopping while the car is moving with no warning or lights on the dash until the stallout has been extremely dangerous and costly. I believe Nissan knows of the cooling fan issue given online forums. Not recalling this faulty part has put me and my children in danger. In Summer 2024, the air conditioner of this car stopped working in traffic. It would blow hot air. The dealership could not replicate the issue and instead charged the air conditioner costing me a lot of money. The air conditioning problem has been intermittent since. I believe this is connected to the defective cooling fan and the Nissan dealership did not do their due diligence to investigate the issue.
Stalling on Highway, hesitation at lights. Engine Light came on. Signals transmission codes P0776 and Judder P17F1. Consider this a defective part by Nissan. This should be covered by Nissan as a Transmission Recall. the federal safety agency, this is unacceptable someone could be seriously hurt, or fatality could happen due to a defective transmission.
My 2019 Nissan Rogue is just under 100k miles and started bucking back and forth while in NYC and stalled. Radiator fan stopped working and sends signal the vehicle it is overheating Needs to be replaced and thermostat and hoses INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
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 federal safety agency?! 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.
Engine shut off while waiting at a red light when pressing the gas pedal, everything else working find gear shit moving but car like disconnected,then 1 week later shuts off again at a drive through while pressing the brakes , remote start has never worked in the vehicle which is equipped with one, sometimes the screens shuts off while driving having to turn on and off the car multiple times until it works
My vehicle’s engine will shut off while driving and I don’t know what the cause is. There are no vehicle warnings such as a check engine light to let me know a problem exists. I am terrified that my car will shut off with my child and his friends in the car.
This only happens in cold weather. The engine shuts off when coming to a stop. Once the Rpm’s get to 1 when braking the car bucks and then stalls out. I have had this car a few years and every winter it does the same thing. I have taken it to a local mechanic who could not identify where the problem is coming from. I have read that others have a similar issue, but no remedy.
The part that failed was the cooling fan. According to a litany of Google searches, and from a few dealerships, Nissan has known for years about faulty cooling fans and has done nothing about it. My cooling fan went out last night and sprayed coolant everywhere. Not only did the coolant become gaseous as it burned against the hot engine, this poses a huge safety issue as it can cause a vehicle to stall on the highway and become a safety hazard in the event that other vehicles ram into the stalled vehicle, and vice versa. This problem has been confirmed as an issue by the dealership that I go to and yet Nissan has refused to do anything about it. Prior to the failure, there were no warning lamps or signs, until it actually happened and then the check engine light came on. By then it was too late. This issue can cause problems if someone is driving on the highway and are none the wiser. After doing some research, there were class action lawsuits against a few 2013-2017 models of Nissan vehicles, but not for anything beyond that. Confirmed by the dealer, these issues are well known and could be fixed with a recall. Thankfully, my car was parked at the time of the incident, right before I started on a 45 minute drive back home from where I was at. I live in the Chicagoland area, where traffic tends to be high and had it happened on the highway, it could’ve caused an even bigger issue to those around me.
