Going up hill at 130,000 it doesn't want to pull, you have to put hazards on pray your not hit in the ass end because it happens at random. It then acts fine after a few minutes
2012 Nissan Rogue transmission complaints
Page 2 of 6: complaints 11 to 40 of 136, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I spoke with Nissan telling her my 2012 Nissan Rogue which I bought new, is currently having CVT transmission issues at 115000 miles. She told me, there was nothing Nissan is willing to do for me after 60000 miles. I am highly concerned as not only is Nissan unwilling to stand behind their product but also unwilling to do the right thing. I have followed their service book and completed all scheduled maintenance as directed. I stated I would be submitting a complaint in writing. Given I have twin 5 year old’s and if we were to be in accident then my husband has documentation to submit I had previously informed Nissan of the existing issue which is also well known and documented. Also, that shall Nissan choose not to honor my request by replacing my transmission I shall have no choice but to contact the BBB and A. G. as I do not want any other family to be injured or killed as result of Nissan choosing not to do the right thing. The issue is, while driving on the freeway, the engine will not go into second gear and will not go faster than 10mph after stopping. This is a safety issue which Nissan is aware of. The way to correct the issue is to stop the engine and let it cool for approx 1 hour then you can drive again. As stated on Google, “Transmission Problems are Common With the 2012 Rogue and Can Make for Expensive Repairs. Nissan's continuously variable transmission is known to be problematic, especially around the 100,000-mile mark. Most the federal safety agency complaints relate to problems with the CVT.Mar 30, 2022” The 2012 Nissan Rogue is reported to still have issues with its transmission and engines. The problems are largely similar, with acceleration problems being the most common. The problems can occur as early as 60,000 miles, and sometimes the vehicle will stall while driving.Jun 22, 2022 If Nissan is aware of the issue with the CVT transmission, why are they not doing something about it? Are they waiting for a lawsuit or a death before they do anything? Help
CVT transmission. Car seems to lose power when accelerating from a stop or entering traffic. Shudders, shakes seems to go to limp mode. I read up on Nissan CVT issues. Warranty's have been extended on year before mine (2012) and those years after me. Called Nissan Corporate. They said they had few complaints on Rogues. I said are you serious? I've read about plenty of complaints. So why have you extended warrantys? Advised they couldn't help me. First Nissan for me and last. Have never had any transmission issues with my vehicles over the years and I'm 74. Other cars NOTHING major just regular maintenance. Disappointed with Nissan they know they have a major issue with CVT transmissions and don't stand behind their product. My car is sitting in the garage. I'm afraid to drive it and around $5000 to replace transmission. It's a 2012 Nissan Rogue SL. Please look into this issue.

The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while attempting to drive, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to move. The contact had the vehicle towed to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 101,000.
While operating the vehicle on a busy road in rush our traffic, the vehicle would not accelerate but the engine was running and the RPMs were very high when trying to go. Suddenly the vehicle the lurched forward; luckily no one was in front of me as my car would not more at first, the vehicle would only go 20 mph and no faster. I was in a 40 mph lane and put my hazards on as I did not know what was happening. Made it to a stop light and once the light changed the same happened as the car would not move then lurched into a gear i guess and I could only go 20 mph. The Check Engine light was not on, but did come on a short minute later. While making a left hand turn from a stop, the vehicle would not move when pressing the gas, then vehicle lurched forward and would barley move as oncoming traffic was coming my way. I drove the Vehicle less then 15 miles to get to a auto repair shop from the very 1st time this started to happen. I was informed I needed a new Transmission. This was a scary and unsafe driving experience and this ended up being very costly.
Transmission problems
The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently decelerated while the RPM gauge increased. The contact was able to restart the vehicle to correct the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the dealer could not duplicate the failure. The dealer recommended that the contact replace the continuously variable transmission (CVT). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
CVT failed while on the interstate (70mph) and vehicle stopped accelerating. Gas pedal was unresponsive and the car rapidly slowed down while I attempted to to pull over on the side of the road. Cars surrounding were forced to brake, maneuver around. My 3 year old was also in the car. The issue was confirmed by the dealer as an issue with the CVT. There were recalls to transmissions in rogues made prior (2008-2010) and for years made after (2015?). I had the valve replaced per recommendation 2 years ago, and now I am dealing with the same issue for a second time. I attempted to pull out of my driveway, but 20ft out the car stopped accelerating again.
While driving out of state vehicle wouldn't excelerate going up hill. At stop light vehicle was hesitant. It was very dangerous speed limit was 70 mph, car wouldn't go over 40 mph. RPM was going crazy. Engine light came on. Only 93,000 miles on the car. Told CVT transmission will need to be replaced. Had car towed. This is ridiculous 😒. Nissan needs to be sued. It could have caused an accident.
At 60,000 miles the car had a cvt replacement. 70,000 miles later car needs second transmission replacement. Nissan is aware of their faulty cvt transmissions, but refuses to comply. Car is immaculate aside from cvt failure, not accidents. Used as station car. Car stalled in intersection. Luckily I was able to get to side of road. Very traumatizing
While my 2 daughters(22,17) were driving at highway speed from N.E to Co. the vehicle without warning decelerated and dropped to 35 mph,In a panic she pulled off to the side of the highway and called my wife who googled nissan rogue issues and found that the transmission would overheat and then decelerate to protect its components from further damage without any prior warnings.If you wait awhile and were lucky that the tranny had not failed completely in about a half an hour the vehicle would reset and you would be able to drive it again.My daughters made it home and i started to research the commonly known issue with the C.V.T transmission! 1 week later my wife informed me she has had 4-5 instances where the car will not accelerate and high engine R.P.M.s while being in stop and go traffic or from being stopped at a red light or stop sign.I called Nissan consumer affairs dept.and was told there is nothing they were able to assist with because this car had no recalls and 122,164 miles on it.On Monday 5/31/2021 the car would start but the transmission would not engage,the R.P.M.s would not go above 1000.I contacted Nissan and they told me to bring it to a Nissan dealer for diagnostics.I had the vehicle towed($95.)to Valley Nissan longmont,C0(303‑586‑4311)Saied told me "the tranny had failed,and there were a few gaskets that needed replaced.$147.for diagnostics and the estimate to repair is $4281.I called Nissan C.C 1(888‑388‑0318)to report the findings and was again told"I am sorry but there is NOTHING we can help you with.I asked Valley Nissan if they would be able to help out and they offered to help by reducing labor and materials for the replacement and repairs to $3859.54.I cannot at this point afford to make the needed repairs,I am not working currently. Nissan Case# 43974262.The car is registered under my wife Harriet Langer.
Transmission went out 77,000 miles over $5000 to repair. Sad
Transmission problem, code p1778 . Engine light on shops say need new grand, 4000 to 8000 to repair, called nissan dealer mansfield , ohio twice have not returned call
2012 nissan rogue sl w/awd; 117,000 miles. Cvt transmission has gotten progressively worse, loses power during acceleration; jerks/unintended acceleration coming to an intersection stop or while in neutral. ***please note this is the same engine/transmission from nissan altima manufacturer was forced into class action to replace/repair extend warranty in 2019/2020***
At approximately 53,500 miles, while on a long trip, the vehicle started making a 'wheezing' noise and experienced a loss of power. It continues to demonstrate the same behavior whenever the engine warms up. The nissan dealership that I took it to said that the likely transmission problem was common in nissan rogues, muranos and versas. I had the car looked at by two other independent mechanics who agreed it was a deterioration in the workings of the transmission and that nissan is well aware of this problem in multiple models and model years.
I can't drive over 35miles per hour.
While driving at highway speeds for more than an hour car will suddenly not accelerate and will continually slow past unsafe driving speeds. Car will only drive at idle and needs to be turned off and rested for more than 5 minutes before it will accelerate again. Dealer service department states CVT needs to be replaced. Other model years have had warranties extended to 120,000 miles for similar CVT issues.
I have a 2012 nissan rogue two weeks after buying this vehicle brand new the engine light came on ,it was showing air mass flow sensor on a code reader and was replaced several times not fixing the problem today 8 years later the engine light still on, sometimes it just shuts off for a couple days on its own then it comes right up,noe sometimes while driving the car looses speed and it starts to shake back and forth and the traction light comes on, this is a serious accident waiting to happen,I have to safely park the car shut it off wait about 2 minutes and start the car again for the traction light to come off and drive normal again,

My 2012 nissan rogue's CVT transmission is bad wirh big noise. My car's mileage is 83000. I check my car problem on internet, so many rogues have same problem. Please make recall 2012 rogue for transmmision.
My car will lose acceleration during a drive lasting more than about 90min at greater than about 65mi/hr, sooner if it's hotter outside. It first happened to me traveling from tennesse to florida then back. It slowly started to decelerate and the rpms climb if you're not careful. I had to pull over a few times to let the car cool down in order to continue. What should have been an 8hr drive turned into a 10hr drive. That was in june. Not we're in july where temps have been 95⁰-100⁰ the last few days and I'm pulled over again while traveling, this time I only made it about 1hr. I'm hoping no damage has occurred and I can get moving soon. My 4hr round trip will be much longer today. I wish I'd known this about the CVT before purchasing this vehicle.
My rogue has a hard time accelerating, especially when it's hot out and I have the AC on. Recently, when I come to a complete stop, it will not accelerate at all, I have to rely on the momentum of the stop and go to carry me. Eventually it does accelerate, but I have to make sure that the AC is off. It started happening when the weather turned warmer. I get regular maintenance and make sure my fluid are flushed and within a good range.
Besides the transmission being replaced to it being faulty, now the A/C is not working !!! I have never used it since obtaining this vehicle ! Blowing hot air and when I start the car, I hear a ticking sound coming from the left side where the A/C motor is , I thought it needed recharging but it won't take a charge!
2012 nissan rogue has approximately 113,000 miles and transmission is completely broken. Confirmed the need for a new transmission by aamco.
In november 2017, while driving in one of the passing lanes on qew driving from buffalo, ny to toronto, canada, at appx 70 MPH, the car started losing power and speed. The RPM started revving alot but the car speed decreased rapidly. The cars behind me almost rear ended me at this speed. I was on a 4 lane thruway and it was difficult to pull to the right side of the road to the shoulder because all of the cars were speeding around me. Quite frankly, it was a terrifying situation to be in as semi trucks and other cars going 70 - 80+ MPH were speeding up behind you as your vehicle lost power. I pulled to the side of the road and let the car rest for about 1/2 hour then started to drive again. I drove the next 30 miles at appx 35-40 MPH with my 4 way flashers on. The car did eventually get back to speed and seem to drive normal. Mileage was appx 125,000- 130,000. This happened a second time in march 2019. I drove appx 65 miles on country roads in a rural area to pick up my elderly mother to take her to the hospital. The car suddenly lost power. The RPM's were going crazy, the car lost power. After about 20 minutes, the car eventually got back to speed again. I was afraid to drive her to the hospital in my car and fortunately a neighbor let me use their car to transport my mom to the hospital. The next day I went to drive my car the 75 miles back home and it drove okay but I was very worried I would not make it home. Mileage was appx 145,000. This happened a 3rd time august of 2019 while traveling wb on the nys I-90 thruway. Again, I was in the passing lane traveling about 70 MPH when the RPM's started going crazy and the car lost power. This time a semi truck was behind me and quickly closing in on my car. Again, it was tough to get to the right side of the road to get out of fast moving traffic. Mileage appx 160,000.
I had to have the transmission replaced in august. I originally had troubles in may (car would not accelerate and I had my foot pedal on the floor trying to accelerate on the interstate (40 MPH being passed by semis without anywhere safe to pullover) and brought my car to the dealership who told me there was nothing wrong. In august I had similar problems of not being able to accelerate on the interstate and the dealership told me my transmission was toast and I needed another one. They told me that if I did not install the cooling kit, it would happen again. I brought my car to aamco for a second opinion. He agreed that I needed a new transmission and a cooling kit added as this is common with the nissan CVT transmission. My check engine light never came on and this car was not safe on the road. Nissan clearly knows there is a problem with their transmissions in this model and admit to needing an add-on cooling kit to address. It was negligent of the dealership to let me drive off of the lot in may. It is now december and I am having troubles with my car again. When I first turn my car on, it makes a whining noise with pressing the accelerator. My mechanic believes this to be a problem with the transmission and I will be bringing my car to the local dealership to see. I also had problems with the check engine light coming on in august and my car making noises with changing gears. I was told this was due to the mass air flow sensor. But, I am still having troubles and now I am told it is the transmission again. I am not convinced that all of these problems are not all related to the transmission. Nissan knows there is a problem with the transmission and are allowing people to drive with an unsafe vehicle.
After having the car for a few months in jan 2018 the engine light came on and the dealer said the car needed a new transmission. On dec 6th, 2018 I paid $3667.16 for a new transmission. It was not covered under a warranty due to the miles I drive. Now in nov of 2019. When at traffic I step on the gas and the car will not go. Its a matter of time before I get rear-ended at a light. Asf 11/29/19 this has happened at least 10 times and counting. I shut the car off the restart and the cargoes the transmission is not even a year old and is giving me a problem.

Will not move after braking . 11/08/2019 while driving showed engine light - took to work shop , showed 3 codes including p1778 . Now will cost me $2700 to fix .
