2015 Nissan Rogue: complete transmission failure

Filed Mar 11, 2025 · PA

I’ve taken my car for inspection and was told to NOT drive my car. The “trailing/trilling Arms” have failed and my rear end is about to fall off. I just replaced the transmission last year and this. I’m [XXX] and can not afford these charges ($1300)for a 10 year old car, that’s garage kept. What is going on with this year/model? I will never trust a Nissan again.

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….

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

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.

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.

Total CVT transmission failure

Filed Aug 31, 2022 · Engine · CA

I own a 2015 Nissan Rogue Select S. I purchased the vehicle with 35,000 miles on it in 2016, a year and 1 month after it was first manufactured. From the day I drove it off the lot, I noticed an issue, where if my car was in gear, and stopped in traffic or at a light, with the A/C running, the RPMs would drop significantly and cause a judder, then the RPMs would return. After a few months of this, I took it back to the dealership I purchased the vehicle from, and was advised that they could not replicate what I was talking about and there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. It's been 7 years since then. While stopped at a light at the bottom of an offramp after driving down the freeway, with my 2 VERY young children in their car seats, vehicle failed to accelerate with the equivalent pressure placed on the accelerator. This caused the vehicle to "roll" through the intersection and having the green light change while I was still halfway through the intersection. When the oncoming traffic got their green a few were not paying close attention and I was nearly t-boned. This happened twice in the span of maybe a month and a half. No indication of failure. No lights on the dashboard, indicating an issue. Took it to a different Nissan dealership and had a diagnostic run, was advised it needs a new transmission and the code that came up was P1740. Vehicle has less than 81,000 miles on it. Unfortunately, per Nissan Consumer Affairs, my vehicle is "out of warranty" even with the extension that was just granted in June of 2022, my vehicles extended warranty under the class action was extended to Jan of 2022, but I was never made aware of the class action, nor given the opportunity to opt out of said action. Vehicle is still not repaired. Myself and kids are safe, but they both have a bit of PTSD from both incidents occurring. I'm lucky I can even get them to voluntarily get back into a car. let alone my car. I wish I never purchased it. It could have killed us more than once.
