2009 Nissan Rogue: jerking or lurching

Filed May 17, 2023 · Fuel system, Transmission · FL

The automatic transmission CVT is jerking when accelerating and it is a problem when in traffic. This could cause an accident. It is a risk to use. No other vehicle and have to work. I will continue to use it. Took it to AAMCO and repairs are over $5000.00 and can't afford it. New transmission or repair the one on the vehicle.

I have a 2009 Nissan Rouge. The CVT TRANSMISSION is failing. I know there was a recall on certain 2009 Rouges for this. Mine is not on the recall list but I think it should be. Its leaking fluid bad, just all of a sudden. It won’ t accelerate after I stop at a traffic light , it’s sluggish, sometimes it feels like the engine is going to fall out when I do finally get it to go, it smells hot, it sputters and jerks when on freeway and in traffic I’m not sure what it’s going to do. I’m a 67 year old woman who is on a fixed income. I can’t afford a new car or to have another transmission put in this one. Nissans are suppose to last forever. They are supposed to be reliable cars. I need help

Recall -harness connector (torque converted solenoid circuit intermittent) previous recall wasn't completed properly as I continue to experience intermittent erratic behavior of the power train and related circuitry, two weeks after the manufacturer said they fixed the harness connector inspect and replace recall (rogue connect) that was place on the car. The car jerks uncontrollably when driving at high speed on the highway or hesitates at stop then takes off suddenly at high speed. I like for the manufacturer to look into this and properly address this recall by fixing this issue with this vehicle they built which I still current drive. A diagnostic scan was done at autozone and I was told the torque converter solenoid circuits are intermittent and that it's due to a damaged transmission wiring harness that is either loose or open circuit in the system and may cause a fire.

The CVT transmission failed in june 2016 with 122k miles, just 7 years old. I was on the highway with 4 others in the SUV when the vehicle jerked made a howling noise and failed to accelerate. Lucky I was able to coast onto the shoulder without getting into an accident. I went to the dealer for a diagnostic check and they informed me that the transmission needs to be replaced and the cost will be $3600. I have reached out to my local dealership, nissan north american, and bbb because they know that the CVT transmissions are faulty and may not break until the vehicle is out of the warranty period. Nissan does not want to cover the cost nor acknowledge that there is a problem with their CVT transmissions. There are many customers on various websites reporting transmission failures and all complaints are similar- failed transmissions and nissan refusing to fix the problem without being paid $3000+. It's shocking that a recall hasn't been done for these transmissions. I've already read dozens of horror stories online over this. I'm shocked that there hasn't been a fatality. It's just a matter of time before all these customers get together and file a class-action lawsuit against nissan.

Transmission failed in august 2013 with 86k and was repaired by nissan dealership. This problem existed on 2 occasions with me and I was almost struck by another vehicle since it failed as I was driving on highway. The vehicle jerked made a howling noise and failed to accelerate. I was able to coast onto the shoulder. Dealership informed me that originals parts were installed in vehicle. Now transmission failure is occurring once again and quite recently after getting off the highway the car failed to accelerate after stopping for a light. This has occurred many times within the month of may and as a long distance driver to and from work everyday, I am petrified of what can happen if it stop suddenly. I went to the dealer for a diagnostic check and once again they informed me that the transmission needs to be replaced and the cost will be $4100. Nissan does not want to bear some of the cost nor acknowledge that there is a problem with their cars/rollovers that has the CVT (continuous variable transmissions) many customers on various websites are reporting transmission failures in nissan as well as on the bbb site. . All complaints reported from customers are similar- failed transmissions. The problem is that the transmission belt breaks with caused a sudden stop. I have reached out to nissan north american, bbb, and the district attorney office in my state because nissan knows that the CVT at times may not break until the vehicle is out of the warranty period. Although, they has been no recalls the evidence to date suggests that CVT transmission has become a nightmare for me as well as for other car owners. Since my transmission failed in 2013, it is my belief that the whole transmission didn't not come out but was overhauled due to the cost of replacement. I can't afford to replace the transmission at the moment and I am afraid of my safety.

My car would not accelerate after driving on the highway (75 MPH) for more than 2 hours no matter how hard I stepped on the gas. It only happened when driving after 2 hours on the highway and did not have an issue again since I usually do not take long trips. This happened twice for my road trip to and from houston and dallas. A few months later, the car jerks when coming to a stop and accelerating from a stop. This was on regular roads about 40 MPH. Noticed many complaints online with the same issue and was told it's due to the transmission. I believe that this should be investigated as it is a safety hazard and unfair for car owners to pay for repair since many 2008 & 2009 rogue owners reported the same issue.

Transmission froze, no forward gear, no reverse gear. Luckily it happened when pulling into the coalfield rest stop northbound on I-55. As I slowed to pull off on the exit ramp, the rogue jerked twice and came to sudden stop. With the transmission locking up it may have caused a serious accident if I were to be on the interstate (I-55 northbound) at approximately 6:30pm on may 14, 2015. Traffic at the time was average but steady in flow.

When trying to accelerate the car stalls, after a brief period (30 sec.) of vibrating the car jerks forward. The transmission is faulty and violently shakes after driving for more than 3 miles. We are in constant fear that the car is going to die when idling and have taken it to several nissan service centers and have been told the CVT in this model and year are all like this. It is not safe for a car to drive like this.

Car sputtered, lurched, and came to a stop on us 190 highway. It refused to start and appeared to be out of gas. However, there was still 1/2 tank and trip odometer agreed with the gauge. Car was towed to the dealer where the sole issue was found to be the mass air flow sensor, which is supposed to only affect the gas mileage. The total cost was $700. An economy device that can cause sudden failure is not acceptable. Something appears to be wrong with nissans cpu code for this vehicle. No warning message appeared on the dash at any time.
