The CVT transmission torque converter clutch experiences intermittent failures when traveling at highway speeds. The vehicle cannot maintain normal highway speeds and slows to dangerously slow speeds for highway driving, forcing the vehicle to pull off. Once stopped, the vehicle sometimes cannot accelerate to even 20 MPH. This creates a very dangerous highway situation. I believe there are numerous nissan models with this exact same problem.
2014 Nissan Rogue transmission complaints
Page 4 of 5: complaints 71 to 100 of 115, newest first, as owners wrote them.
"CVT failure" between march 2019 and may 2019 randomly stalling while traveling and when complete stop, this went on for about 1 month. Most noticeable occurrences were when the temperature warm and/or driving for an extended period of time. Vehicle then shuddered/shake when accelerating. Rpm level would fluctuate between 4k-5k rmps when attempting to accelerate.would not shift up or downward as designed.would randomly downshift causing a forward jerking.most noticeable jerk/shuddering was between 40-40mph.loss of or limited power when traveling up hill.speed would be limited to 60 MPH. On may 19, 2019 reverse would not engage unless the vehicle had not been driven for some time, enough to cool down.neutral would not be present either.there was no differentiation between drive/low/neutral. May 20 brought to nissan dealer they advised CVT replacement needed. May 21 and may 22 CVT did not engage, vehicle stopped proceeding while on highway. Turned vehicle off for 15 minutes. Turned on and was able to proceed. Still shuddered and jerked when shifting. Started vehicle after parking placed in drive with no movement. Turned off then on placed in drive was able to proceed. Vehicle limited to 40 MPH, lost power to CVT unable to move. Stopped for 45 minutes and was able to place into drive. Drove for approximately half mile, lost power while traveling up hill and rolled backwards luckily into a driveway without being struck by other vehicles. Neutral did not exist. Vehicle towed 5/22/19. Complaints made to nissan 5/23/19. Was advised 5/24 they would only cover 70% although there is a significant problem with their cvts.
Cars loses power when driving, shakes, revs high has a hard time accelerating up hills too
While driving my car to work, the transmission has been slipping out of hear. The speed will decrease as I can't accelerate. The RPM's shoot up but the car will go nowhere. It has happened and both high and low speeds but normally after the car engine is warm. Sometimes when it happens, after 10-15 seconds, the gear will go back to drive on it's own and I can continue on my way. Lately, as it's gotten worse, the car will come to a dead stop (as I can't accelerate) and there is nothing that I can do to get it back into gear. I have tried turning the car on and off, putting it in neutral or low and it can take up to 20 minutes before I can get the vehicle driving property. After research, it is a common issue with the vehicle however after taking the car to the dealership I purchased it from twice, they will not fix it. They state it hasn't happened during their test drive and there is nothing they can do and they are releasing the car to me. Even after multiple phone calls and asking them to perform other tests- they won't. They have only run diagnostic machine tests and did a short test drive (even though they lied and told me it was longer). After taking the vehicle home yesterday- it happened to me twice today. This is unsafe to drive.
Since purchasing this vehicle in the summer of 2016, I have had the same issues. The vehicle, after driving it for various lengths of time, slows and appears to lose power. When the accelerator is pressed, the vehicle does nothing. It seems as though the vehicle continues to coast but will not increase in speed. It has slowed down to 45 MPH on a busy interstate (with a speed limit of 75 MPH) before and will only increase in speed after a decline in elevation (probably due to momentum). The car will not increase speed even if the overdrive is turned off. The accelerator pedal will be pressed to the maximum and the car will not increase in speed. The revolutions per minute (rpms), will not increase either when the accelerator is pressed. All this has occurred on highways where the speed limit is increased and after driving the vehicle for about an hour (sometimes after longer). When I take the car off a highway and come to a complete stop, there is a delay once I try to accelerate again. The vehicle will move slowly after a few seconds of pressing the accelerator and then increases speed very quickly. When driving on a busy interstate, this becomes a safety concern. I cannot accelerate the vehicle when I want to and the vehicle will increase and decrease in speed without my control.
Took my 2014 nissan rogue to nissan dealer, because the car was slipping and losing rpms. Dealer told me that the radiator had failed internally causing transmission issue. They are saying that I need to replace the radiator, hoses some other stuff and the transmission. They estimated it at this time at $6000. I was on my way to work 40 minutes from my house and had to have the car towed back to the dealership. The car only has 75,000 miles on it.
Engine hesitation and transmission does not automatically shift to lower gear
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan rogue. While driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle jerked and shut off without warning. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The contact called eddie tourelle's northpark nissan (985‑893‑0079, located at 955 n hwy 190, covington, la 70433) and was informed that they were aware of the failure and it was due to the transmission. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 124,000. The VIN was not provided.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan rogue. While accelerating from a stop, the vehicle jumped and the transmission lagged. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer stated that there were no recalls on the vehicle regarding the transmission. The contact also stated that the vehicle strained when driving above 70 MPH on the highway. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 24,000. *tt
My 2014 nissan rogue has 118,000 miles and quit on the us going down the road. Car was whining and had no power. Looks like we are going to need a transmission. I have researched and now discover that is a common problem among nissan's with a ctv transmission. Shame on nissan for not fixing this after years of issues!! There should be an extended warranty on all nissan's with this transmission!
I bought a 2014 rogue select 33,000 miles from larry h. Miller nissan in dec 2015. Shortly after my purchase in jan - I frequently experienced my car engine going into safety mode when on the freeway. Having no power. I took to lhm service dept a total of 7 times. Sorry we are not able to duplicate the problem. Last time I took they had an upgrade and said oh it is your CVT transmission it's fried. At this point my SUV was at 114000 miles. I was told by the service dept I had a 100000 mile warranty,they called back and said it was 60,000. Corporate gave me the run around. Finally agreed to pay 70% I had to pay 30%. It was unfair I had brought this to them a month after purchase and 7more times. Cvt transmission replaced I paid 30% about $1000. I picked up my car they said the battery had died but they charged it. I got to work turned off went to leave 20 min later dead. Called lhm service several times no answer, emailed no response.I bought a new battery. Called corp they reguj fed me as it was ujnder warranty. Lhm never contacted me back. 3 months later my alternator went out. My mechanic replaced it $300. 2 months ago my a.c. Compressor went out. My mechanic replaced it $350. So today my SUV started doing the whining noise and engine going into safe mode. I'm now at 144000 miles and the CVT transmission had 12,000 mile warranty! I drive a lot.I also take great care of my car and do not drive fast, I put most of my miles on the freeway. Driving at 70mph and then car engine going into safe mode with no power on the freeway is dangerous. I asked them to google it others had the same experience I was told they don't google if it isn't showing error codes they wouldn't know what to fix.I still owe about $14000 now need a 2nd get transmission replaced with no warranty?? No help from nissan? Toyota would never do business this way.
Limited too 3000 RPM. Sudden lose of all acceleration. Hot and cold weather same outcome. 75000 miles all maintenance up too date.
At around 60,000 miles my transmission started acting up. I was driving on a hilly highway and my car lost speed and was having trouble accelerating back up to the speed limit. While pushing the gas pedal the RPM would increase and the car would make a loud noise as if it was trying to accelerate but it would not pick up speed. When I got off at the next exit the car would barely move after stopping at the stop. This has happened to me multiple times since then. It now happens if I drive the car for longer than 25 minutes, less time if I'm using the AC or heat. After the car has been turned off for a few hours it works normally again as long as I'm only going short distances. During the acceleration issues you can smell transmission fluid. It just happened again and I had only gone 20 miles on the highway.
Loss of acceleration. The first time it occurred was from a stop sign. Pressed the gas pedal and the RPM's only went to 3000 with the car only slowly moving forward. The second time it occurred was while driving down the interstate at 70mph. Attempted to accelerate when again the RPM's only went to 3000 and could only maintain current speed. No response from sport button or over drive button. After the car was turned off and restarted it resumed normal operations. Both very dangerous situations if power and acceleration would have been needed.
While traveling 60mph on i43 in milwaukee, the car suddenly lost ability to accelerate. I was able to coast the car off an exit to the side of the road. The car would only go in reverse. I took it to my local mechanic and magically normal forward driving resumed. Diagnostics showed no issues. I was instructed to take drive the vehicle to the dealer (8 miles away) as they might be able to figure out what was wrong as well as possibly honoring the powertrain warranty (60,000 - I'm at 62,000!). On the drive to the dealership I lost ability to accelerate briefly. Luckily, I took the side streets as was able to pull out of traffic. The dealer still has my car and is not finding any issues. They claimed they drove it extensively to see if the issue could be replicated. Although my odometer showed they drove it about 10 miles total. They wanted to return it to me but I insisted they keep it another day and drive it. So, that's where I'm at. If they don't find anything wrong, I'm left with a car that I don't feel safe driving with my wife or two kids (age 6 and 8). We're headed on vacation this weekend (180 miles away) and I'm going to have to rent a car.
I have noticed that my 2014 nissan rogue loses power after driving long distrances. This puts my family in danger. I have the gas all the way to the floor with no response. Then it will all of sudden just take off. It seems to happen when I am on the hwy going around 75. This is happening more and more often.
Transmission went out while traveling on interstate. 90,000 miles on car.
Cvt transmission defect. Jerking,shudder, RPM vary up to 3500 RPM when it should be ar 2,000 RPM. Sometime it quits in traffic. Does the same in city,on highway,traffic hazard to me and other motorist.
We were traveling on interstate I-20 in georgia at approx 75mph when suddenly the car just lost all forward momentum. My husband attempted to give the car more gas, but with the pedal all the way to the floor, he narrowly manged to get us across the lanes of traffic to the shoulder of the road without being hit. We were almost rear ended several times, and attempting to cross the lanes of the highway was extremely dangerous. Once on the side of the road, he checked to see if there was a visible or noticeable reason the car acted this way and checked all fluids- including the transmission fluid. After checking everything he could, we resumed travel, with the car being a bit sluggish then resuming travel as normal. We looked online to see if others had this problem, and read that older nissans had a replacement recall on the transmissions- but not the newer one. This even has terrified me, our daughter and my husband with how dangerous a situation we were put in due to the defect of the transmission.
The car shudders and jerks while accelerating, causing the engine to stall. It stalled on the interstate and in the city. Both themes the engine stalled, it was accelerating from a stop.
Car was running fine. No issues. Parked overnight. April 18, 2018 would not start. Thought it was a dead battery. Would not jump. Has been towed and seen by personal mechanic and nissan dealer. They think it may be bcm/ECM issue - but they are not sure - no codes. Problem is car wont respond. This could have happened while driving and someone could have been killed. It was sudden and no warning. Still does not work at all. Dealer cannot with certainty identify source of issue.
Vehicle suddenly lost acceleration - engine was running but car wouldn't go forward. Sent to repair, and go the car back but a few days later the same thing happened. Was told that it couldn't be repaired and was taken from me. I was told the vehicle had been auctioned off as junk but I want to know if it really was. It should definitely never be back on the road.
Transmission began jolting and shuttering this past week at all speeds. When accelerating it's not an issue, however , when maintaining speed the rpms increases and decreases as the transmission shifts up and down. This causes the car to slow on the freeway and roadways. It feel very dangerous.
Transmission cooler was replaced the week 6/05/2017 by carriage nissan of gainesville, ga and on 6/16/2017 the nissan rogue was losing power on the drive back from atlanta(approx.. 3 hour drive). Rogue was taken to fenton nissan in knoxville, tn and nissan agreed to replace the transmission but would not pay for the transmission cooler. Rogue was picked up from fenton nissan on 7/3/2017 and on 7/5/2017 the rogue lost power and the transmission stopped working and my wife was stranded 40 miles from home. Rogue was towed to fenton nissan and upon investigation found that an unauthorized part was used in the transmission cooler by carriage nissan and all the transmission fluid had leaked out. A new transmission cooler was installed free of charge.(we paid $680 for the first defective cooler) during the time that the rogue was at fenton nissan computer diagnostics test was performed prior to releasing the rogue to us and no codes showed up. Less than a week later the rogue starting acting up and once again took it back to fenton nissan and was informed it would cost $3000+ to replace the electrical harness, nissan has agreed to pay 50% of the cost. I feel that unauthorized part caused undue stress not only on the transmission cooler, transmission, and engine but also the electrical harness as a result of all the power surges. There have been over 468,000 recalls for nissan for electrical harness failure from 2008-2013 and also some 2014 nissan rogues. My rogue VIN number doesn't show up on the recall list but it safe to assume that since this has been a problem from 2008-2013 and some of 2014 then why couldn't effect my vehicle.
While up and down hills, there is a problem with acceleration. My RPM's will shoot up very high, but can not accelerate. This has happened to me 3 times now, and one time was very dangerous. I was coming off the interstate (downhill) and went to cross onto the highway, I was then almost hit (with my 2 year old in the car) because my car would not accelerate. I made it across, turned my car off then on and it seemed fine after that. In a situation where there would have been plenty of time to cross, I was almost hit. That was about 2 months ago, but just this morning I was going up a very small hill (interstate ramps are steeper than the one this happened on), my SUV just wouldn't accelerate. Again, I had to pull over and turn my SUV off and then back on for it to work again.
2014 rogue while driving on the freeway we lost all power in an instant. This is not safe without warning.it is a known problem with the CVT transmissions, there have been recalls by nissan for this problem on earlier models, but this seems to be a problem with the 2014 models as well.as others have mentioned, these transmissions are a known issue in nissans and in most cases, you will not have an issue until you are out of your warranty. Nissan has issued an extended warranty (110,000 miles) on all models through 2010, but nothing on the 2014 rogue. My car was at 93,000 and 2 years old, so now I am stuck for close to $4500 to get it repaired.
Passenger air bag light stays on even if a person is in the passenger seat. Was told there was not a recall on this. Transmission would not shift out of first gear, had to pull over, turn ignition off what a few min. Then turn car back on. Transmission shifted after that. Toke car in for recall.
Wife coming home after dropping daughter off from school, car felt jerky and unstable, pulled into the driveway and engine died. I then started vehicle, shifted into reverse, vehicle died. Tried again and it started, but had lots of hesitation, took to dealership, they had it for 3 working days and could not duplicate the error and no error code, so they sent the vehicle back to us. Next day wife went to pick up daughter from school and while pulling out of the school parking lot, car died and they were almost struck by another vehicle who was traveling at higher speed. Could start the car, but could not shift into any gear without car dying. Once again, no trouble/error codes were being fired off. Took car to dealership where again they tried for 2 days to get the car to act up, until finally it acted up on the freeway where it almost died there. They diagnosed the issue as a faulty torque converter, which requires a full transmission replacement. The vehicle only is 3 years old, with only 75,000 miles on it. This is a safety issue, the car cuts out with little warning at low speeds, meaning especially dangerous when trying to make turns and accelerate into traffic. Additionally, no error codes were thrown at all, and took 6 working days at a dealership to determine the issue. Furthermore, it is sporadic and cannot be diagnosed easily or quickly, suggesting that there is a high potential for this issue to occur with other vehicles and they will be sent back out on the road without having the issue fix, placing people in significant danger. This is the first year of the redesign of the rogue and one of the first sold in texas, but this is unacceptable and extremely dangerous as there is no way to easily diagnose the issue and how the failure occurs. All recommended services were performed at nissan dealerships for the transmission as well at 30k and 60k.
Cvt transmission is slipping and shacking violently at low speeds
Passenger air bag is not reading adults. Dealership has fixed once, was involved in accident, did enough damage to damage radiator, and airbags did not go off. I had a 14 year old in the front seat. My passenger air bag is once again not reading. This was my most recent incident with my vehicle. I was making a left hand turn, when accelerating my vehicle seemed hesitant and momentarily stalled withing my turn. This has happened numerous times, while trying to accelerate. My car had been warm during each time. My transmission has already started slipping, I was notified there was a recall on my vehicle for the transmission. My back seats seem to vibrate. They vibrate so much, they move side to side at high speeds on the highway. (70 MPH) this is the legal speed in my area. I feel my vehicle is a lemon with all the recalls that have been fixed ion it already and is not safe. My total millage is about 63000.
