I bought the vehicle at 24,000 miles in 2015. at 40,000 miles I went in for the normal oil change and was told that the transmission was bad and needed replaced. Nissan replaced it. When I purchased the car I was given an extended warranty. I'm now at 116,000 miles and it loses acceleration power when driving (currently not being driven), and then all of a sudden the rpms jump up and it will go, causing danger while driving. It also makes a very loud whining noise. Had it towed to dealership and they diagnosed as bad transmission. Extended warranty is not wanting to cover. This is the second nissan I've bought that has had to have transmissions replaced due to the same failure. It is dangerous that so many are having this issue and Nissan won't issue a recall for the transmission that they are putting out to the public know that they are dangerous. I could've easily had a wreck or been rear-ended because of Nissan's failure. I also am a healthcare traveler that is over 1200 miles away from home without a vehicle now.

Purchased with 89k miles, now has 130k miles. A few times at random the check engine light came on and then went off immediately, seemingly went off when I would tighten up my gas cap, so i thought this was the cause. Hit 130k miles and light comes on during my drive home from work, and this time is accompanied by my loss of acceleration. On Highway I couldn’t go over about 55mph without losing ability to accelerate, I pull off Highway, get to first stop light, and then I can’t get the car to accelerate from a stop at all without an extreme delay. I pull into the nearest repair shop and they run the codes on ECU and tell me it’s not reading any active codes, but history codes are showing transmission issues and that CVT transmissions are known for this and recommends I call Nissan Consumer Affairs. Literally zero noticeable issues prior to this incident! I call them & they don’t have my name attached to the VIN? They create a case and tell me there was a class action lawsuit settlement (I never got any notification whatsoever!!!) but that I’m outside of the extended warranty provided as a result of the settlement. I still owe $8k on this piece of shit and Nissan won’t do anything—It should be recalled!!! 2nd Nissan I’ve owned, the first one I bought with 14k miles on it & had to replace the transmission at 35k, warranty expired. I will never buy another Nissan ever again. Ever. They clearly knowingly put defective and unsafe transmissions in these cars, screw over their customers time and time again, & are never held responsible. I don’t have the money to replace this transmission or buy a new car and be $10k in the hole. I can’t get to & from work in this car & don’t feel remotely safe when driving it. I’m terrified I’m going to get tboned bc I won’t be able to accelerate, & it’s only a matter of time before it is completely toast. There will be blood on Nissan’s hands for these CVT’s. I’m not paying them to diagnose a widespread issue they are fully aware of!!

Own a 2015 Nissan rogue with 85k miles on it. Check engine light came on. Took to dealership. They performed diagnostics and gave the code P1740 and P0725. They told me the CVT transmission issue and needed to be replaced. Didn't have issues with the car up to this point and did all my service in Nissan dealer at the right time. Researched and saw that Nissan had issues with their CVT transmissions including the Rogue model and year I had. If there is an issue with the transmission, why are they allowed to still sell it? A bad transmission can cause an accident when driving or in reverse. It's 5504 dollars to repair/replace and no guarantee that the transmission they put in will work properly either. Called Nissan and they say they can't help because it is out of warranty. This issue has been going on for 2 decades already. I would like to be reimbursed for it. I know that's not your agency's job but you should be much more diligent on these issues. Consumer lives are at risk not to mention the huge cost of repairing/replacing a transmission. Nissan is getting a free pass on selling defective vehicles to the public. There is a class action law suit for the same which Nissan is settling only for few car owners who falls in the same category as mine. Here is the link for the class action law suit. https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/lawsuit-news/nissan-class-action-lawsuit-and-settlement-news/nissan-inks-277m-deal-with-rogue-pathfinder-infiniti-qx60-drivers-to-end-transmission-class-action/ Nissan should help all people who are affected by their faulty CVT. Nissan cars should be banned till they fix the issue and the Government should take proper action to safe guard the life of consumers and the people whom the government is working for. The rating on this car should be downgraded to zero. I request the concern authorities to help the affected consumers, ban the Nissan malpractice and save the lives of American people.

CVT Transmission failure. Loss of vehicle propulsion and burning smell on highway. Warning light came on after symptoms of failure. Owner has only driven 24k miles since purchase and goes for routine vehicle service at Nissan regularly. Further research show identical safety related issues for models with CVT from 2012-2016. There are no recalls despite pending lawsuits for this issue.
Check engine light came on. Took to dealership. They performed diagnostics. Told me the transmission was failing and needed to be replaced. Also said that the catalytic converter was failing too and needed to be replaced also. Didn't have issues with the car up to this point. Researched and saw that Nissan had issues with their CVT transmissions including the Rogue model and year I had. This was the second time a transmission failed on a Nissan Rogue that I owned. If there is an issue with the transmission why are they allowed to still sell it? A bad transmission can cause an accident when driving or in reverse. Needless to say I was pretty much forced to sell this on a trade in for a new vehicle. It's thousands of dollars to repair/replace and no guarantee that the transmission they put in will work properly either. Your agency really dropped the ball on this. This issue has been going on for 2 decades already. I would like to be reimbursed for it. I know that's not your agency's job but you should be much more diligent on these issues. Consumer lives are at risk not to mention the huge cost of repairing/replacing a transmission. Nissan is getting a free pass on selling defective vehicles to the public.
Able to shift out of the "Park" position without depressing the brake pedal. Moved while parked and kids were in the car unbuckled. Could have injured the kids as well as anyone who was around the car at the time. Brought the car to the dealer, appeared to be a recall with other 2015 Nissan Rogues but not this one.
I own a 2015 Nissan Rogue with 70,000 miles.Pulling into driveway at 2mph, car suddenly accelerated by itself , leaving me with no control over the car and unable to make it stop before hitting a truck in the rear and pushing the truck sideways. The truck had been parked in driveway. Brakes did not stop the acceleration. Skid marks noted for a couple of feet. Had my 3 year old grandson in the back seat in his car seat. Person's truck I hit, saw the whole event happen. Engine rev'd up and jerked forward. No one was hurt but I was hysterical having my grandson in the car with me. Car had to be towed and still needing to be taken to repair shop. Awaiting to hear from insurance agent on which autobody shop it should be taken to. Truck that I hit had a lot of rear damage.
Oct 9, 2021 had issues including loss of power, transmission jerking, transmission slipping while driving. Just returned from dealer for service on my 2015 Nissan Rogue with 55k miles saying it needs a new CVT and it's not covered under warranty. First occurred on Oct 9, the dealer applied the reprogram on Oct 12, but issue came back that night. Took it back today and the new code is the P0744 shudder saying replace CVT. CVT issue causes hazardous driving conditions as the vehicle jerks, loses power, then quickly accelerates, then lunges, etc.
Nissan issued a Recall Campaign Bulletin on this issue on September 23, 2020 (attached). This issue is caused by a failed electric controlled coupling that transmits driving force to the rear final drive. Under certain circumstances primary failure of this device can lead to secondary failures that can create dynamic instability and loss of traction. The Recall Campaign Bulletin only applies to a relatively small subset of vehicles that are vulnerable to this problem. Please see the repair estimate attached.
The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle hesitated while depressing the accelerator pedal without warning. The contact had initially taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The contact continued to experience intermittent hesitation while driving at various speeds without warning. She then took the vehicle to another mechanic who informed her of a TSB on the vehicle for the transmission. The contact declined to have any repairs performed on the vehicle at that time. The contact stated that while driving at highway speeds, the check engine warning light illuminated on the instrument panel as the vehicle hesitated. The contact took the vehicle back to the mechanic who informed her that the transmission needed to be replaced. The dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.
My car had gear slipped down to neutral and lost power while driving on a highway and as I was pushed the gas pedal after about 10secs jumped back to gear and accelerated unexpectedly.
When the car is driven in stop and go traffic, the transmission stops working, engine would rev but the car will move at extremely slow speed, at that point, I have to pull over, turn off the car and then start the car again. Upon starting the car again, the transmission will work fine. Nissan Company and the dealers states that the Nissan Rogue transmissions were recalled for other years but not 2015. The issue stated in 2019 and it continues to be the problem. Nissan refuses to fix it.
The Nissan Rogue would not accelerate past 40mph on the highway. It was also making a whining sound. The failure of the car to accelerate made it impossible to drive at the appropriate speed limit on the highway. We had to put on the emergency lights and we had our children in the back seat. We took the car in to our own mechanic, as well as to our local Nissan service center, and they both confirmed that it is an internal transmission problem. We are attaching the diagnostic reports to this message. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.
Vehicle has intermittent transmission problems. RPS's increase, speedometer increase however vehicle does not increase speed, then all of a sudden vehicle will increase at high rate of speed. This is dangerous and could severely injure someone. I have brought vehicle to dealership 3 times and each time dealership service department states the vehicle is not showing any error codes. Dealership will not investigate any further unless I pay out of pocket to maybe find an warranty covered issue.
