2016 Nissan Rogue engine complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 66, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Heading down the highway when my car started getting making a shuddering noise that got louder and the RPMs went up. Pulled off and check engine light came on. Ended up towing car and bringing it to auto repair shop where they determined it was a transmission issue, and suggested I take it to the Nissan dealer for more information.
Vehicle does not accelerate after 2 RPH Vehicle does not go into reverse Vehicle slips when going between 40 and 60 MPH Diagnostic testing from mechanic shows transmission failure
While driving home from work, the Nissan went from 50mph, suddenly down to 4mph. (literally 4mph) Pressing the gas down all the way would not allow the car to move any faster. It would occasionally get up to 15mph, but wouldn't stay. I was LUCKY beyond belief that a car or semi didn't hit me at highway speed before I could move over in rush hour traffic. Both the local dealership and Nissan USA executive offices concluded that this does not fall within the extended warranty forced on them by the NTHSA for many, many similar incidents. The dealer, asking like it was an oil change, asked if I wanted a new $9k transmission. As I can't afford anywhere near that, nor is the car worth it, I was required to drive it home from the dealership, again putting my life at risk. IN ADDITION - a recall repair was requested (the driver door wiring harness) - and the dealership told me that it was completed. They did not complete this recall either. Nissan should not be allowed to make vehicles in the USA. If they actually stood behind their product and made repairs and replacements when there are manufacturing issues, I would feel much better about the situation. For now- I want to ensure no one I care about actually dies from driving a Nissan.
Engine stumbles or even stalls out suddenly on acceleration, often at intersections, and then "forward collision warning sensor malfunction" flashes on the screen. Then, when accelerator is pressed further in an attempt to get the vehicle to move, the engine revs and vehicle lurches forward.
The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 20 MPH, the vehicle shut off as a key fob warning symbol appeared on the instrument panel. Due to the failure, the vehicle was initially towed to an independent mechanic and was later towed to the dealer. Two separate diagnostics were performed on the vehicle; however, they were unable to determine the cause of the failure. The dealer later informed the contact that a defective belt located underneath the dashboard may have caused the failure. The mechanic gave the contact an estimate for the repair but warned that the repair may not fix the failure. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 55 MPH, the vehicle began to jerk. The RPM increased, but the vehicle failed to accelerate. The RPM decreased, and the RPM went to the correct level. After reaching an approximate speed of 40 MPH, the vehicle failed to accelerate further. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact called the local dealer, who informed the contact about having a transmission flush and adding transmission fluid. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 116,000.
ECU go out and cause vehicle to accelerate when brakes is mashed
The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, and while the vehicle was idling, the vehicle stalled without warning. Several attempts were needed before the vehicle regained proper functionality. The failure occurred mostly while driving. Several warning lights illuminated intermittently. Additionally, the trunk failed to latch securely. The rear seat belts failed to retract. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 170,000.
While driving home from work, my wife was attempting to merge onto the on-ramp to the highway, and the vehicle jerked violently and RPM's skyrocketed but the speed was barely climbing. The speed didn't rise above 20mph until RPM's reached 4k. We had to creep all the way home with the engine whining and juddering and couldn't go above 45mph. This is extremely dangerous and the mechanics are saying there's nothing they can do other than buy an entirely new transmission because the CVT is complete trash, ,there was all kinds of debris in the bottom of the pan and Nissan is acting like they have no idea what we are talking about. I'm at a complete lost as to why there aren't any recalls for the 2016 Nissan Rogue CVT transmissions!!!!!! This is unsafe and I will never purchase anything affiliated with Nissan!
The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH, the RPM fluctuated however, the vehicle failed to respond. The Forward Collision Avoidance, ABS, and the check engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the accessory hood filter and transmission fluid was replaced; however, the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 135,000.
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.

Loss of acceleration while driving and upon attempting to engage acceleration after stopping. This has been occurring since the vehicle was purchased, used, from a dealership in Sept 2021. The dealership kept the car for 3 months after my initial concern was submitted, (received back right before Christmas of 2022) however, they "could not find anything wrong" and would not agree to replace the vehicle. The car is now rarely driven now, due to the issue and luckily avoided being hit recently when the issue occurred at a heavily trafficked intersection, Did some research online to find that the loss of acceleration is a very common occurrence with the 2016 Rogue. Nissan corporate was recently contacted and a claim was started, in the hopes for a permanent resolution.
Vehical will lurch, stutter and sometimes nearly stall usually upon acceleration. Feels unsafe to drive. Our mechanic inspected the vehicle and found the CVT needs replaced ($5500 repair). We have had the car just less than 7 years and it had less than 70K miles when the issue began. After taking it in to the mechanic it now has 70190 miles.

The catalytic converter failed at 87000 miles
During the winter months, when the temperature is below 30 degrees and the car has been sitting all night, the vehicle has to be run about 5 minutes or one can't go over 15 mph. The RPM's will run at a steady 2000 until the car is warmed up and then can be driven without difficulty. I cannot give a particular date on this occurance. I bought used and happens every winter. Took into Nissan dealership and they cannot find anything wrong.

Fuel gauge wasnt reading that the car was filled up. Then security lights came on in the car. Once the car was turned off, the steering wheel wouldnt lock and the car refused to start. Then random lights came on on the dashboard. You could shift the vehicle out of park and move it. The entire security system was malfunctioning. Vehicle was towed to nearest Nissan dealership in Bloomington, Indiana (where the car broke down). Nissan states it is the Body Control Module (BCM) and that they would not cover it. It is available for inspection at Community Nissan in Bloomington, Indiana. I felt our lives and the lives of others on the road could have been at risk if the vehicle decided to just shut off while we were driving, causing us to lose all power and crash into other drivers on the road.

Power windows don’t work , have issues with my abs causing car not to kick into gear sometimes, battery replacement
Saturday 08/06/2022 my 2016 Nissan Rogue caught fire as I was driving down a side street in Adrian, MI. 49221. Lights came on on my dash, it appeared to be every warning light, the car jerked me over as if I lost power steering and the car took over, my son and I could smell something hot. I put the vehicle in park as flames were coming from the engine compartment, my son was able to open his door and get out, my driver side door would not open and I had to climb out the driver side window! The fire department was called and after they were able to put out the fire as I watched my car literally melting, they told me it was an electrical fire. My car was then towed to Clift Buick GMC in Adrian, Michigan.
vehicle has turned off while driving, and while stopped. Wiper stopped working, windows will sometimes work
I have a 2016 Rogue, car has 22810 miles on it The AC stopped working back in April, I have since had it into the dealer (same I bought from) They have completed a full AC recharge, which did not fix the problem, then they have replaced the mode door, which did not fix and then finally a leaking hose, which has not fixed the problem. I have incurred over $1400 thus far and still the dealer cannot fix the problem and the AC still does not work. This issue appears to be a known issue and I have found many reports of the same issues in Nissan Rogue, which happens after the warranty expire, and owners are paying extreme amounts in repair bills to not be able to fix the problem. Nissan must be aware of the problem, and know the cause, which if this information was provided to the owners and dealers and offered through a recall would be the right thing to do .
