On approximately October 24, 2022, my 2015 Nissan Rogue Select began having transmission trouble. Specifically, it was lurching and making a grinding noise between first and second gears. It is an automatic so it would actually be between 1200 and 1600 rpms. The local dealership stated there was a recall/extended warranty and placed my vehicle in their shop initially for 15 days between October 27, 2022 and November 10, 2022. The did not offer me a rental vehicle, nor did they fix my vehicle properly. On November 12, 2022, my vehicle leaked out all of the transmission fluid onto my garage floor, creating a hazardous materials incident, which I incurred fees to have properly cleaned up, and had to be towed BACK to Nissan of Bradenton in Manatee County Florida where it remained until November 17, 2022. I have put Nissan North America and Nissan of Bradenton on notice that the vehicle is still performing poorly and exhibiting a safety hazard to myself, my passengers and other vehicles on the road when it lurches out of first and second gear. My vehicle was not able to be used or driven for a total of twenty one (21) days during the calendar year 2022. I consider this significant under the Consumer Protection Act and Florida Lemon Law.

Had brakes checked because of grinding noise..break pads or still new.He said rotors have pits all over them and that's where noise is coming from. Doesn't exactly know reason for it. I never experienced this with any other vehicles I've had before.

Cvt transmission jerks in eco mode each time after releasing the gas pedal, also even when not using eco mode the grinding noise coming from transmission when going down the hill even if you're not applying on the brake pedal, also front passenger seat vibrates when in drive mode and holding the brake pedal at the light, the SUV has only 33,500 miles on it. In my opinion all issues are due to manufactured faulty transmission. According to mechanics consulted was told jatco company that makes transmission for nissan makes bad CVT transmissions. A friend's dad owns a nissan also and had his CVT transmission that went bad replaced with a new purchased CVT transmission from nissan dealership and after about 60,000 miles he's having transmission issues again.

Bought car from win motors today; took to mechanic next door..said it was okay; when asked for receipt for testing mechanic said he did not do that. Car drove fine until I got home and when I moved from street into driveway, I heard grinding noise on brakes , but more importantly, when shifting gears a loud sound of straining; paid cash for used car. Really hope I can resolve with 2 day return.

There is something desperately wrong with the transmission/power in my vehicle. I lose power when going up hills, especially when they are continual, like up a mountain pass! There is a super high pitched noise when the car runs for over an hour, like squealing. Told there is no problem at nissan dealership, this is not true. The noise happens in every gear when it starts and doesn't stop until the car cools again. The power in vehicle that is lost up hills, will keep it from ever going above 60 until several hours later. The power is lost in the whole vehicle, it lags and sometimes nothing happens during this power loss when pushing the gas pedal. The loss of power is so much that it can't continue to go up hills sometimes and I've had to pull over! Very scary on a mountain pass!
