Auto was parked in driveway, facing garage (door opened). When I turned on ignition to place car in garage it accelerated without warning. My hard braking had no effect and car went through garage knocking out the back wall and a large portion of cement block foundation.

On July 14th of this year, I was driving my vehicle on the highway when it abruptly accelerated without me changing my pressure on the gas pedal. The check engine light then turned on, which prompted me to have my car inspected as soon as I could. I did not have an appointment until July 20th and was unable to use my vehicle until then. On inspection, I was informed it was due to an issue with the transmission, but was also told this was a known issue with the 2016 Nissan Rogues. There was a class action lawsuit filed with these vehicles regarding their transmission as they exhibit a delay that’s typically accompanied by the engine revving while the driver depresses the gas pedal with “little to no increase in speed". According to the suit, other Nissan Rogue drivers have also experienced and reported stalling, jerking, lurching, juddering, hesitation and/or shaking while driving their vehicles, as well as premature transmission failure. The apparent CVT defect has been documented to occur without warning while a vehicle is being operated normally. This puts other drivers, as well as myself, in danger as this becomes an unreasonable safety hazard. I am aware that Nissan had accepted responsibility to repair these vehicles for this problem because of the inherent problems and widespread failure. It is also my understanding that the window to get these repairs ended on December 9th, 2022, and I purchased the vehicle 1 week later, unknowing and unwitting of these issues. I feel that Nissan is still responsible to fix their defective vehicle and I am asking that this repair be completed under the same terms as what was offered during their repair campaign. They are still responsible to make this right for the safety of the users of their product, as well as other drivers around them.

-car has 56,000 miles -a few times over the past few months, it hesitates when accelerating from a full stop -yesterday, it happened a lot, and several times I even pushed the accelerator to the floor, and nothing happened...then it suddenly revved and shot forward after a few seconds. Terrifying. -I researched and it's a known issue, but today the dealer said they won't do anything because no error codes, etc., are showing up.

On 2/7/16, I was pulling into my parking space at work. My foot was on the brake as I was coming to a stop in my space. All of a sudden, the engine revved loudly, and the car lunged forward, jumped the curb and slammed into the office building!!!! I had no control even though my foot was pushing on the brake as hard as I could. My 5 year old daughter was in the car with me, and to think of what could have happened petrifies me. This malfunction has to be investigated and resolved. The diagnostics and repairs estimates are happening now, so the reports are still being formulated, and I can add them to this report once they are completed. I have contacted nissan USA headquarters and they are supposed to be sending a regional coordinator to inspect the vehicle. I have uploaded pictures of the damage and the scene.
