I have 2015 Nissan Rouge Select for almost 9 year and I haven’t get in any accident with this car . But my air bag light keep turn off twice within a year . Last year it happened on driver side , I replaced it at dealership and the same issue happened just 10 months later . The passenger air bag is off this time . But the dealership said the reason that I can’t accept it. First the mechanic guy told me that the car is old and the way how we drive with the shaking on the road affect airbag wire and sensor . That’s unacceptable because we have an older car than this 2015 Nissan but it never have air bag problem . While we talk with their supervisor to see if there is any recall we miss and what cause the airbag keep going off , he said one thing made me could not believe that the manufacturer would not test the air bag before selling . Is it mean that i bought this Nissan car and I put my self and my family safety under risk while we are on the road ? …...and recently the car transmission failed….
2015 Nissan Rogue transmission complaints
Page 2 of 6: complaints 11 to 40 of 140, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Car stalled and Shuddering while driving on the freeway, sudden loss of power. Engine started to heat and smoke. Issue was probably the defective CVT transmission as noted in most Nissan.
This vehicle will fail to accelerate after stopping at stop sign/ red light or in stop/ go traffic. if i hit the gas pedal it won't actually move for seconds and then it will jolt forward. This becomes very dangerous and scary when pulling out onto busy roads. The RPM will start going up while driving for no reason and the car is not actually accelerating. this will happen while driving down the road randomly and the only thing i can do is pull over and shut car off for a minute. i have brough to dealership (a few years ago but they cannot recreate it so i have no options) this has been happening for several years at all different times and always randomly
The CVT malfunctions after about an hour of driving. There is a failure of power transfer to the drive wheels. The engine rpms increase but there is no forward motion resulting in the vehicle being stranded in traffic. I spoke to the nearest Nissan dealer which is one hour from my home in Mountain Home, AR and was told that this is a known problem and is an indication of imminent CVT failure.
Our 2015 Nissan rogue will occasionally not accelerate when driving, which can be extremely dangerous. I am not a mechanic, but I believe the transmission is faulty, the vehicle only has 59,000 miles on it! Also, tried driving the vehicle yesterday and it starts up fine, but it will not move foward or backward! Please help us with this issue! Thank you
I was driving on freeway with cruise control on and noticed a couple of 'slips' in the transmission that made the car slow down and 'jerk'. Thinking it might have been a bit of bad gas, I kept driving for about 20 minutes. At one point the car seemed to slip into neutral and the tachometer revved up to about 8000 RPM even though the car was still in drive. I pulled over on the off-ramp and then I lost all ability to move using any gear. I did not see any warning lights. The car is at a shop now to diagnose. Had this happened while on the freeway, who knows what might have happened.
My wife and I were returning from a Thanksgiving trip to relatives in Virginia southbound on I 95 She was driving and we both felt the car shudder as we began to lose speed. There was no acceleration even though the Tachometer was in a high range. We limped into a Rest Area ,shut down the car and called a tow service. We were towed to Deacon Jones Nissan in Golsboro, N.C. where we were told we needed a new transmission. The Service Manager told us this CVT transmission is supposed to be serviced every 30 K miles .We were at 87734. There was never a dashboard warning light to that effect nor any notice from Nissan. Our expenses were: Transmission=$6619.34; Towing=$155; 2 nights at hotel=$201.38
The transfer case system failed, and it is available for inspection upon request. My safety and others safety was put at risk because my vehicle malfunctioned. It is difficult to go uphill and it has turned off on multiple occasions. The car is making a rattle/grinding sound. The vehicle has less than 35,000 miles. The problem has been confirmed by mossy Nissan. The vehicle has been inspected by Nissan. The only warning was having to replace my battery twice while i have owned the vehicle, and the rattling noises/difficulty to accelerate. No lamps or messages illuminated. The vehicle and paperwork are currently with the dealer i can upload the proof at a later time/upon request. I have also included a link that show owners of Nissan rogue having the same issues.

Was driving the vehicle and came to a train crossing in our area,put the vehicle in park and waited until train had passed (6 Minutes ?) and after gates went up and placed vehicle in drive again I couldn't get it to move....After waiting and putting it in low position it slowly caught and was able to get vehicle home which is 1.5 miles and have not been able to get it to move in any position. Contacted dealer and was told its a well known issue but Nissan is not covering these bad cvt transmissions and hope you can help!It's a 2015 model with just over 60k
Transmission jerks. Cvt transmission causing significant issues. Have already changed faulty valve body, mass air flow sensor, and idle control sensor.
My issue was with the car’s CVT, specifically related to the torque converter (code P0744). I was driving on the highway, driving up hill on a busy interstate and my car suddenly and very noticeably decelerated/lost engine power such that even attempting to accelerate by pushing the pedal all the way to the floor would not allow me to recover my speed. This put me as well as drivers in my surrounding area at risk as cars and semis had to suddenly brake and began honking and attempting to pass. This could have easily caused a serious accident. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer and the recommendation was to replace the transmission and add a component to help prevent overheating for around $8,000. They admitted that this is a known issue and there have been lawsuits, yet no recalls have occurred. The dealer that confirmed the issue was a Nissan dealership and therefore I would assume qualifies as the manufacturer. There were no warning lamps, messages, or any symptom/indication of a problem prior to this occurrence; not even the manufacturer proactively reaching out to warn of the potential for this to occur based on others’ experiences with the CVT. Here is a link to the video provided of the inspection performed by the dealer https:// [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle hesitated and jerked before stalling. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle returned to normal functionality however, the failure became a regular failure. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed with transmission failure. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 50,000. The consumer stated that half of the cost of repair was initially going to be covered by the manufacturer but that was later denied by them. The vehicle exceeded the allotted time for reimbursement.
I was driving in 90°F weather for over an hour on the freeway, and it felt like my car's power cut out. This caused my vehicle to decelerate to 40mph while on a busy freeway, leading me to fear for my and others' safety. I turned the car off, waited for 15 minutes at the exit, and began moving again, only for the same issue to occur again. This time I stayed longer and decided not to push the car past 3k RPM, and made it home. The issue occurred once several months ago, and now it has happened twice on the same trip. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms before the power was cut off. I took the car to an independent service center, and they could not diagnose the problem.
The contact's son owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while his son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to accelerate. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle coasted off to the side of the roadway. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The mechanic related the failure to Technical Service Bulletin: 15-084 (CVT Judder); however, the vehicle was not covered under the TSB. The failure mileage was approximately 126,000.
The transmission failed. The vehicle is not in my possession anymore it was sold to Carmax in May 2023. My safety and safety of others was put at risk in my opinion. The car would randomly not accelerate, I would have to pull over and restart the car. This at times would help and I would have no problem moving forward. Often it would not help and I would continue to not be able to accelerate. On the highway pulling over to restart the car or not being able to accelerate is scary. The car would at times not start and needed time to rest it seemed before I could get it to start again. The vehicle was inspected by Nissan in Chicago, IL twice, first on 5/23/22 and second on 3/14/23. The reports are attached. On 5/23/22 Nissan found nothing to explain the issue I described of not being able to accelerate but they stated-possible transmission issues that had not failed yet. It had also been inspected by an independent dealer several times- with no findings. No warning lights came on until March 2023 which is when I brought it to Nissan the second time on 3/14/23 hoping the warning light would give them more information. They found many other things that needed to be worked on but no mention of transmission issues. The report is attached. The Batavia Mobil recommended the transmission being replaced after their inspection on 5/1/23 and that is attached.
2015 Nissan Rogue-Consumer would like Nissan to replace the faulty transmission for 100% of the cost as is being done with other Nissan owners with the same transmission model even if the consumer is outside of the extended warranty by 8 months but 20,000 miles under the mileage limit that was set by the lawsuit. Notice to submit claim attached.

Transmission shakes between 2,000-2,500 RPM
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.
Nissan Rouge select transmission went in the span of 24 hours. One morning it wouldn’t accelerate past 20 mph, and the next morning it wouldn’t accelerate at all. There were no check engine lights or any other indication that there was a problem before it died, or even after it died. I was told that this model of Nissan did not come standard with a transmission cooling unit as, “Nissan didn’t think they were necessary on a few models of the Rouge, including this one.” Because of this, I needed to get my car towed to Middletown Nissan, where I was told the cost of repairs, tax and labor would cost approximately $4000, and $5000 with the addition of a cooling unit. The day repairs were to be completed, I got a call as I was on my way to the dealership that there was an error in calculation of labor costs, and Nissan wanted to charge me $8700. They ‘lowered the price’ to $6300, and at this point I had been without a car for a week and it was impacting my wife and my ability to work, and my preschool age daughter to go to school(of which i also pay for)
My ABS lights come on saying Chassis Control System Error and AWD Error. I took it to Nissan Dealership and they said it was find. Warning signals popping up on my dash board. I took pictures on my phone.

AWD High Temperature warning message. Asked to stop vehicle. Once the message disappears and proceed to resume travel there's an odd humming sound from tire area as though the 4 wheel drive is engaged on drive pavement. Vehicle doesn't handle as well. This warning can happen 2 minutes to 2 hours into drive and on in surface type. Also, the AWD will engage without warning and will not turn off.
