Noticed vehicle was having trouble when intermittent pauses occured while driving on the highway. I was worried about the condition of my car, so limited my driving to close in-town trips until I could get it to the dealership for service. Drove 2 miles yesterday (09/10/20) and it started jutting and is no longer safe to drive.
2016 Nissan Rogue transmission complaints
Page 6 of 7: complaints 131 to 160 of 176, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My 2016 nissan rogue stalled suddenly while my daughter was driving it at 25 MPH. After 3 days of investigation it turns out the wiring harness had not been properly secured and the casing wore off from rubbing up against the car, causing a short that cause a failure of the electronic control module. Had this happened at high speed, she could have been killed.
The car died while my daughter was driving at approximately 25 MPH. It suddenly lost all power and she was able to coast to a stop. The steering and brakes worked, but there was no power from the accelerator then the car just turned off.
I first noticed this while driving home on my street with a speed limit of 45 it happened when I was accelerating and from then on it would happen randomly. Either on the highway, a city street, starting from a complete stop my car started to jump, shudder/shake, stall, and vibrate, which had never happened before. There will be times where I am put in a dangerous situation as I cannot control the cars acceleration and it will speed up very rapidly or not allow me to speed up at all. I have an appointment with the nissan rouge dealership nearest to me on 8/20/2020 and I will keep the information from this appointment in my records.
I purchase a 2016 nissan rogue on july 27,2019. On august 20 I took car back to dealership and stated that the car have vibration, click sound , the hood was like it was going pop up if I went more than 65mph and was like you had give a lot gas for it to go. The say they check out and nothing was wrong. One day I was driving down and had to push petal all way down and the car was still only going about 20 MPH but the RPM was at like 5. Was sacred feeling took car back to dealership and they say nothing was wrong. Then on jan 1,2020 coming down 95 southbound and my whole dash bored lights came on . I believe it was every single warning light came on. Was told that my ABS was bad and it was going cost around 3800 to be replaced. My car stayed at nissan dealership for over 2 months. Once I receive my car back still complain about the vibration and hood. Again was told since it's no check engine light there's no problem. On july 17 my check engine came on and my RPM was going up to like 5. Drop my car to nissan to have light check out was told that there's wasn't a light on once they pull my car in shop. Again no answer. On august 8 my car was like I had push pedal all way and it was going like 25 MPH and RPM was at 4 but the check engine light and airbag light came on. Took my car back to dealership and was told that it was my transmission. Now that my warranty has expired just the end of july 2020 I can receive a diagnostic if problem. But I have been experiencing this things the whole year I have had the vehicle. I see that there are know problem with these transmissions in rogue. I see where the warranty has been extended for CVT transmission so why that doesn't apply to my vehicle?
2016 nissan rogue, 84, 000 miles. Vehicle began having trouble shifting gears while driving it. Shuddering and jerking. Rpm's fluctuating all over the tach. Check engine light came on. I tool it to my mechanic to pull the codes, which they did, and they referred me to the dealership. On my way home, during which the vehicle could go no more than 25 miles an hour, it completely lost power on a small incline. Reverse and drive did not work. I had to have someone push the car back out of the intersection it was stuck in. I had to have it towed. Problem is the CVT transmission.
Transmission failed. Driving on freeway and the car lost total power. Rpm rev high no power. Coasted to a stop. Tried to shift in different gears and does not respond. Car will not drive more than 15 miles per hours and the transmission is thing to shift to different gears.
Defective transmissions jerk, stall, shudder, hesitate, and even suffer from premature transmission failure. Unexpected surge of power from the engine. I carried it in the nissan crossroads wake forest nc. They told me CVT unit needs replacing. The vehicle left me stranded on interstate 40 driving back from morrisville nc from work. After several tries I finally got it to the dealership at 11pm leaving me stalled again . I could have caused an accident. The vehicle only has 92,612 miles. Nissan won't take any interest in paying for the repairs even though they have had lawsuits along with multiple complaints about their CVT transmission. I'm a single mom working during this covid virus to shipper myself and my child with no other income. This vehicle is too new to have these problems. I have to drive an hour to work and an hour back. I need a vehicle asap . I'm still lock in payments with this vehicle and cannot afford to trade with this vehicle malfunctioning.
Premature failure of CVT transmission other rouge covered to 120,000 miles
Car began losing power when accelerating and shuttering before finally catching gear and moving. Car would also exhibit a "whining or whirling" noise when accelerating. Eventually the car began vibrating from the back end at approximately 60 MPH. Took car to abc nissan in phoenix and they diagnosed with failing rear differential. Was advised to contact nissan customer care as car was 4 years old and 70,000 miles. Customer care dragged out a "nothing we can do for you" response" for nearly 1 month. This is a very dangerous problem when turning into traffic as intermittently, the car will not accelerate when making a turn.I am worried now that the notorious CVT transmission will go out next.
Took car in to dealer due to noise, corporate investigator needed to come in to review, and replaced transfer case. Upon picking car up, noise still there and upon further inspection CVT tranmission assembly replaced. Upon picking up third time, grinding noise easily hears when accelerating. All issues occurred while driving, and luckily transmission did not fail. Concern not only about transmission issue prevalent in other nissan models including older rogues, but dealer continuing to return vehicle when easily discernible to non-mechanic that issues have not been corrected.
When I push the gas the car barely moves - literally - and then it will go all the sudden. It has almost caused multiple accidents because I can find no rhyme or reason to when it will happen.
Bad CVT transmission
Every time I accelerate my car idles high and is sluggish.
At about 58000 miles sept 2019 I first noticed issues with acceleration and noise. I was about to go out of town and was afraid to get on the highway. I took my car to nissan of bowie. The service representative said there were no codes activated and no recalls on the car. He gave me a list of other concerns for my car (brakes, rotors, and tires). I left the dealership and did not drive out of town as planned. My husband replaced my rotors, brakes, and tires. Still the car was shaky. Next trip out of town was in may 2020. My car stalled out while we were on the highway to visit my family in kentucky. We were an hour away from our hotel and drove extremely slow. No dealerships were open on sunday. We took my car to coyle nissan in southern indiana. This time the check engine light was on. They explained that the transmission was completely trashed and out of warranty. I tried to see if my insurance company would cover it. A service technician at this location told my insurance company there is nothing I could have done to damage the transmission. It goes out on its own. The CVT transmissions have had this problem for years. I called the nissan warranty people to get support. They agreed to pay parts and not labor. While I was stranded out of town and stuck in a hotel, I had to pay 2000 dollars for labor to get back on the road and return to maryland. I filed a bbb autoline complaint and they said they only help with cars less than 3 years old. My second transmission was put in on may 14th and went out less than two weeks later on may 27th. I noticed issues this time as soon as we headed to maryland. It stalled out completely while I was on the highway again. This car is not safe. I am still making payments on this car and am on a third transmission. There was a class-action lawsuit against nissan for the exact transmission in 2019 on other models.

When moving down highway 289 northbound in frisco, texas at a speed of approximately 55 MPH, the vehicle began to shudder and lose power, and eventually stopped moving while the gas pedal was engaged. For a few minutes I was stuck in the right line and the vehicle would not go into gear. I eventually turned the car off and turned it back on and the vehicle engaged the transmission. And when I started to move again the vehicle shuddered and when I got up to about 25 MPH and the same issue happened a second time. And I was stalled a second time on the highway. I turned the car off and back on and was able to drive the car a few hundred yards to a turnout. This is a very dangerous problem and luckily I was able to get off the road and avoid a dangerous collision. I had to be towed a few miles to my home where the vehicle is now located.
This vehicle spontaneously hesitates upon press of the has pedal.
Bearing worn out in transmission at 67000 miles; the only warning I had was a noise coming from under the car when car was in motion sounded like the spin cycle of a washing machine, no noise heard when car was stopped no warning light on the dash board but had to replace entire transmission
Bought this car for our 16 year old daughter to drive. It has 16,000 miles on it. It has started shuttering and lurching upon acceleration. At one point she was driving it on a busy four lane highway and it started lurching and the car died in the middle of the highway. Luckily she was able to move to the shoulder. This is a major safety issue. We took the car to the dealership and they updated the software. My husband went to pick it up and it did it as he was leaving the dealership. He immediately turned around and left the vehicle again. They are saying that it may be the belt inside the transmission.
Sitting in heavy traffic on the interstate, traffic was moving very slow (stop and go) as I depressed the gas pedal the car began to shudder and jolt. I released the gas pedal and tried again and received the same result. Once I was able to accelerate more I was able to continue. I then took my vehicle to my mechanic where he explained my transmission was going to stop working and I will need a new transmission. He had a machine that was hooked up to my vehicle showing the CVT code. I did not think to ask for a copy of the read out.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 nissan rogue. The contact stated that when driving in windy condition with the cruise control set at 65 to 70 mhp, the check engine light illuminated and the rmp fluctuated from 2,000 to 3000. The contact disconnected the cruise control however, the RPM continued to be fluctuated from 2,000 to 3,000. The contact was able to drive the vehicle home. The contact spoke to the manufacturer. The manufacturer advised the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer to have a diagnostic performed. The manufacturer advised the contact that the 2016 nissan rogue was not included in the manufacturer warrantied transmission replacement that was for 5 years or 60,000 miles which was extended to 10 year or 120,000 miles.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 nissan rogue. The contact stated that the transmission vibrated while driving 30 to 60 MPH. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer who stated that the transmission vibration was normal. The vehicle was equipped with a continuously variable transmission. On one occasion, the rpms increased when the gear was shifted. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 37751621. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.

Car lost acceleration when going down a long hill at about 45 MPH on the main road from our house to our town. Rpm's were going up and down without any pressure applied to gas or brakes. Car was then hard to put into gear, you could get it to engage after 5-10 times trying. No warning lights came on. This was less than 2mos after the pc490 campaign was preformed on my car and a transmission oil change.
My vehicle will lose power out of nowhere when I'm driving causing me to not be able to accelerate above 40mph at 4-5 RPM, the gas peddle does not work you can feel the pull on the car there is no power. I need to take my foot off the gas to not blow my transmission but then I drop to about 20mph and on highways or even side roads this is very dangerous and not always possible. Because this only happens here and there (3 times in the last month) and never predictably, the dealership is saying they cannot fix or do anything to the car without the issue happening there under their supervision. As I stated, this is a known issue and well documented from current and previous nissan owners and everyone's description of the incidents are identical. There needs to be a recall and this needs to be fixed on all vehicles before someone dies. When my I take it to the dealership it states that my battery was bad then recommend me to change the positive terminal so I say I have bought the battery from the dealership and it is still under warranty so they replace the battery then I agree to change the positive terminal since it was under $100. After change both take it back and drive on the freeway and it happens again and I was able to start my car up and take it back to the dealership and they say the fuse was loosed so they release the car to me and it has stalled at night my my children in it and I have to get help and push my car in kroger parking lot and plan to tow to the dealership in the morning. The next morning it starts up so I drive to my friend house to park it there and wait until monday to take it back, they then this time want me to change the chaissy control and I have told them that is not the problem. I had enough with them so decide to call corporate to file a complaint and now my car is still at the dealership for over two weeks. Ecm change but code still
Car suddenly stops accelerating while driving (this happened while driving 65 MPH on an interstate highway). Cvt transmission replaced at 9,000 miles (yes, brand new car) and now needs new CVT for same problem at 69,000 miles, however this time not under warranty. Two transmission failures under dangerous circumstances with no warning! Not a good track record nissan.
There is a known issue with nissan CVT transmissions in this year, make and model vehicle. Nissan is accepting no responsibility and issuing no recalls. My vehicle will lose power out of nowhere when I'm driving causing me to not be able to accelerate above 40mph at 4-5 RPM, the gas peddle does not work you can feel the pull on the car there is no power. I need to take my foot off the gas to not blow my transmission but then I drop to about 20mph and on highways or even side roads this is very dangerous and not always possible. Because this only happens here and there (3 times in the last month) and never predictably, the dealership is saying they cannot fix or do anything to the car without the issue happening there under their supervision.

I purchased a 2016 rogue sv (VIN [xxx], I have had nothing but problems with this vehicle since I brought it home. I had the head unit replace no less than 4 separate times because it would stop working and go black. The car had less than 10,000 miles on it. I was told it was being replaced with a "brand new unit". The dealership forgot to transfer my xm subscription to the new unit, so when I called to activate I find out not only is it not new, its 4 years older than the car I own. While replacing this the technicians destroyed the surrounding trim. Last june my car started stalling out, this happened on multiple occasions. The engine died but the electrical components stayed on. It has died at gas stations, stop lights and pulling onto a roadway. It continues to shudders at stop lights. Nissan was unable to replicate the events so I was told to take it home. Last week my rogue began to push 6000 rpms while on the highway, pedal to the floor and I never made it above 45mph. During this event the car wouldn't go below 4000rpms, this event lasted about 30mins. This happened multiple times and we have video of the events, about 15 minutes worth. I was told this week that the dealership had sent the issues to nissan, and that with the video/the complaints that nissan would replace and fix what they believed to be the problem, something with the transmission. The dealership then called my husband and told him that we could pick up the vehicle and take it home. They told him that "nissan created a technology" that is now installed in the vehicle so the next time an event happens it will record it, to continue driving it for a 1,000 miles. I feel unsafe in this vehicle. I do not trust this vehicle to deliver my daughter and I safely and reliably to our destination. I will be happy to share the video as well information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
-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.
About a year ago (2018) my car started occasionally losing power after I had stopped at a light or stop sign after driving on a city street or getting off the highway. I would push the gas pedal and my car would not move until about 5 seconds later. If I keep driving while this happens, eventually the car will not go over 40 MPH, the rpms will go up to 4k-5k and the engine will rev without gaining speed. It will then start lurching forward and jerking back and forth. I finally figured out that if I stop and then restart my car, the issue subsides. However, this issue has started happening more and more frequently. I would estimate driving the car for an hour, it will happen 7-8 times (when turning the car off, then on again). It makes driving dangerous when I am not able to accelerate when needed or when my car is jerking uncontrollably. My struts also keep squeaking when I go over speed bumps or any other bump. The dealer repeatedly tells me it's a known issue but nothing that needs to be replaced since it's not a safety issue.
