Occasionally, when attempting to start driving from a complete stop (from a stop sign, traffic light, etc.) the Rogue will delay to accelerate and not move more than a few miles per hour for a few seconds before fully engaging. This is a safety issue when attempting to turn left at a green light, or crossing streets from a stop sign because there is no way to tell if the Rogue will delay in accelerating until you press the gas pedal. I have found that this is more likely to start happening after driving in stop and go traffic or on a route that has frequent stops. Also, occasionally after driving in stop and go traffic, the Rogue will begin to rev high and not accelerate. In both cases, if the Rogue is turned off and restarted, the problem stops and the Rogue accelerates normally again.
2017 Nissan Rogue acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 41, newest first, as owners wrote them.
There is a severe acceleration issue happening with this vehicle. When ibling for to long or stop/go traffic, the acceleration of the vehicle disappears and seems to ride with little mobility. The rpms will sky rocket, yet the car will not move fast at all. It's gotten quite scary crossing two lanes of traffic from a stoplight. There is an attached doc from the manufacturer communications section stating just this issue on Jan 2018.
EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE MY 2017 NISSAN ROGUE, it acts up at the worst times when I'm trying to cross a busy street with oncoming traffic, sometimes very high speed, I cannot get sufficient acceleration!! I HAVE COME SO CLOSE TO GETTING HIT THAT NOW I AM CONVINCED, IN A MATTER OF "WHEN", THAT I WILL BE HIT!! I am aware that You and Nissan are aware of the CVT being a problem that no one wants to take responsibility for. I'm keeping this report so "when I get hit" a lawsuit will be forthcoming. (Even if I die) I've instructed family to sue if I parish.
But I am driving my car will not go it's normal speed I can hold the pedal to the floor and it slowly will gain speed 30 to 40 miles an hour when I stop at a red light my car will literally go 5 miles an hour With my pedal being all the way to the floor until I shut it off and turn the key back-and-forth five times The part that I need is on back order Nissan can't make them fast enough this is very unsafe to be driving like this my dash will say malfunction I really wish I could upload a video to show you
While I am driving my car will beep and say malfunctioning and drop the please power as I push on the peddle, and it's hard for me to gain more speed as the speed limit increases. If I am to slow down or stop at a red light then start to go again my car takes a few minutes to get to the speed limit it's like the car has bo power going it is. Today I pulled into fhe road after leaving a store and was only going 3 miles an hour my car did not want to go this is berry dangerous to be driving this way. The part is on back order and can't get it to fix the problem, my mechanic said if it's not fixed it could cause other problems like cause my Cadillac converter to go. This should be recalled if it's in such high demand and this should be on Nissan if I can't buy the part to fix my car it's verry unsafe and needs to be fixed
My cars intake runner control valve needs to be replaced when I am driving my car will beep and say malfunctioning on the dash the power to my car lessons I can push the pedal of my car to the floor and only be going 30 to 40 miles an hour, I tried getting the part from a couple garage is it is on back order a long list of people are waiting for this part Nissan said they don't know when I will be able to get it when it will be back in stock this is a non-safe to be driving a car like this. I can be going down the road in my car will say malfunctioning.
While having my car on for an extended period of time, my car will randomly not accelerate when I push on the gas pedal. As soon as I turn the car off and turn it back on, my car will reset itself and will resume as normal, until it happens again sometimes just 30 minutes later. This issue has happened since I have purchased the car. This happens mostly when I am in stop and go traffic, when I need to accelerate at a stop light, or even just in a pick up line for my son’s school. I took my car into the Tim Dahle Nissan Dealership in South Jordan, UT and they claimed my transmission issue was not related to the issues mentioned in the complaints and that there are leaks causing it, however, everything lines up exactly with the issues as described and I have never heard of these leaks happening until the visit that I happened to ask for a warranty fix. The last time this complaint happened was back in 2021 where they updated the software on the transmission, they told me this would fix the issue and it did not resolve the issue at all, as if still continues to happen. I submitted a complaint to Nissan in February this year advising of the same issue happening and I received a letter in the mail stating that this was an issue that would be covered under the warranty. Please help me get this fixed!!!
My Nissan Rogue 2017 constantly stalls when I accelerate after having to stop on a hill. I live in Pennsylvania and there are a lot of hills. It mostly happens when I have my air conditioning on. I go to accelerate and the car lags. The worst occasion was on 8/20/2022. I was stopped at a light going up hill and pressed the gas pedal and it lagged for about 30 seconds. The RPM shot up and my car was only going like 30 in a 35 even with me accelerating. Once I was stopped at a light on a flat road, I turned my car off and it was fine. This consistently happens when I’m traveling up hills and I cannot always turn my car off. It’s terrifying when I’m trying to make a left turn off a hill near my house and I accelerate but don’t move fast enough. I’m always afraid I’ll get into an accident. If I had known about this CVT, I wouldn’t have bought this car.
My 2017 Nissan Rogue is accelerating and lunging on its own. My sister and her fiance were almost involved in two separate accidents due to this safety concern. My sister said as she was coming up to a stop light, the vehicle suddenly accelerated forward, causing her to have to swerve into the next lane to avoid the accident. She said the vehicle then acted like it did not have enough power to accelerate forward again once it had stopped, however, my sister stated as she was attempting to get home after this incident; the vehicle accelerated/lunged forward again resulting in her having to swerve into the parking lot of a store to avoid another accident. My sister also stated that the traction control light flashed she the vehicle's RPMs got really high while she was driving it. This light did not stay on, but the check engine light has. My sister stated that once she got the vehicle home, she placed the vehicle in park and suddenly the RPMs on the Rogue maxed out, almost like you are pushing the pedal all the way to the floor while the vehicle is in Park or Neutral. My sister stated that once the RPMs went back down, the vehicle then stalled and has not started since.
My Nissan 2017 rogue has unexpectedly lost speed (from 60 mph to less than 20 mph in less than 5 sec) on the highway with no chance of recovery and little time for other drivers to avoid my Nissan Rogue. This is an extremely dangerous scenario. There is no way to correct the situation without stopping car completely and restarting the engine on the highway.
The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 60 MPH, the vehicle had unintendedly accelerated and then inadvertently decelerated. The vehicle was taken to three independent mechanics and diagnosed with mass air flow sensor failure. The mass air flow sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer. The dealer performed an oil change, a brake fluid change, and cleaned the throttle body. The dealer informed the contact to add a fuel injector cleaner to the vehicle twice a year. However, the failure recurred. The contact took the vehicle to Cherry Hill Nissan (2325 NJ-38, Cherry Hill, NJ 08002) and had another oil change and windshield wiper replacement. Cherry Hill Nissan informed the contact that the failure was related to a towel the contact had placed near the driver's side floor mat, which jammed the accelerator pedal. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
I drive a 2017 Nissan Rogue that has just under 65K miles on it as of today. Without a prior indication of a problem from the car's warning system, I suddenly began losing transmission power and experiencing significant engine hesitation while driving yesterday, August 23, 2021. Specifically, the car would hesitate at least 3 seconds and sometimes as long as 8 seconds before engaging, thus putting me in great danger in traffic and on public roads. Additionally, the engine would begin revving up from 1 to 4+ rpms while simply trying to maintain a speed of 40 mph. This caused me to constantly have to remove my foot entirely from the accelerator, further putting me in harm's way while in traffic on both residential and highway roads. I lost control of my vehicle. I immediately proceeded home as carefully as I could manage, stored the vehicle overnight in the garage, and took it to the dealership first thing in the morning. To my great surprise and disappointment, the Nissan adviser informed me that the diagnostic codes received were P0776 and P1715, both of which were addressed in previous Nissan Service Bulletins in both 2018 and 2021. Furthermore, these codes indicate specific issues with the CVT - something that has plagued Nissan for years and continues to be the center of many lawsuits and causes for extended warranty programs. In fact, I experienced CVT transmission failure in a 2015 Nissan Rogue that I owned previous to this one. My sister also experienced the same safety hazard in her Nissan Rogue. This is an ongoing and hugely unsafe problem. Currently, my vehicle is at the dealership, awaiting response from Nissan Corporation as to whether they will replace/fix at no cost, considering the blatant CVT issues and the fact that my powertrain warranty expired less than 5k miles ago and that several other models with the exact same issue have been granted extended warranties, etc. This should be at no expense to me. I had my car inspected last month by Nissan!
My 2017 Nissan Rogue has been jerking, lurching, and there are times when the accelerator is depressed but the car does not accelerate at all It is extremely dangerous. Nissan has confirmed that the CVT has failed. This seems to be an ongoing issue with many of their vehicles and it doesn’t not feel like adequate action is being taken to remedy this.
The vehicle does not shift gears when attempting to accelerate. The RPMs increase but the speed is sluggish to accelerate. The struggle of the engine is audible from inside the car like the sound of revving of an engine. No warning signs or messages have been associated with the problem. The problem does not happen every time the car is used but has occurred on several different occasions. The car is available for inspection upon request. This problem is dangerous to the driver, passengers, and other drivers on the road as well, because it disrupts the flow of traffic when attempting to merge onto the highway. Many people are forced to slam on their breaks to avoid rear ending the vehicle when it does not accelerate.
When driving between speeds of 30-45 MPH the vehicle would shake, and the rpms were shifting erratically between 2000-4000 or more. The issue would correct when more speed was attained, but would return. When the accelerator was depressed, the vehicle would not respond immediately, however the rpms would increase drastically. When on the highway, using cruise control at 65 MPH, the rpms would change drastically again. When the vehicle was in a full stop when exiting a highway the vehicle would not move when the accelerator was depressed to reenter traffic, the rpms immediately went above 6000 or more, and the vehicle shut off unexpectedly, with the check engine light illuminated. The vehicle was then placed in park, and ignition turned off, and turned back on again. The vehicle turned on without issue, no check engine light was on. Again, the vehicle did not respond immediately to the accelerator being depressed, but did begin to move. The vehicle is scheduled to be towed to the west herr nissan in orchard park for repairs.
When driving at a moderate speed then slowing down in traffic that is slow and stop and go, once I come to a complete stop and get ready to go again the car hesitates to take off. The engine sounds like a truck and does not go above 25mph with the gas pedal to the floor. The lights that appear on the dash is the safety crash and warning lights. I then have to pull over to the side turn the car off and turn it back on again for it to go back to normal. This happens 1-2 times a week. I afraid this going to cause a terrible accident. I have reported it to sheridan nissan three times. They are saying nothing is wrong.
I loose acceleration when driving. This is the 5th time this has happened.
Own 2017 rogue. After receiving an recall software update 5 hours later my car experienced this. Had right foot on brake and was pulling into a parking spot within a parking garage. Car was moving but at idle speed cause I was 1/4 of way into parking spot when suddenly I heard the engine rev and car took off stopping only by the cement wall in front of me. Had it been a railing on this outside wall I would have gone over 7 floors down. No mats in car and I was wearing flats so nissan can't say that caused this
A few times on a cool start in the morning it doesn't fully turn over. I wait a few seconds and turn key again then it turns over. A few time while backing up out of my work spot, the car 'jumps' like it is going to kill. As soon as I hit brake it revs back up and then I can go. Today I left work, then at a stop sign my car killed. I really didn't think much, until it killed. I will be calling service department tomorrow.
The car jerks when accelerating
On march 16th I had a accident that was a result of a known issue that nissan is not addressing (more if I at www.nissanproblems.com/aeb ). Basically, when leaving a parking garage my car suddenly made beep beep beep sounds and stopped on its own and the car behind me hit my car. I have already reached to the insurance where I would just need to pay $500 deductible for the fix however the fix would only handle the bumper fixing and not the fact that the car is defective. I'd obviously don't want to keep this car. In this case I'd be looking for assistance with nissan, with lease termination and with body injuries. Nissan requires the car to be untouched for their 'investigation' in a certified location (they claim my current shop is not certified even though it is listed in their site it is) where the entire process would take between 4-12 weeks. During this time the car can't be touched and of course not driven. No resolution offered to meantime transportation and expense coverage.
My vehicle everytime I make a stop the seat moves . Also when I want to change lanens fast the car goes crazy . Also when driving you could hear a noise in tbe wheels .
Steering wheel making noise when turning, when driving speed slows down and hard to pick speed back up.
This car has a serious default rogue sport model 2017. You drive the car up to 50mph and it stops down to 20mph without any notice. It does ! Symbol in the middle and wihthout warning you lose control of the car and it goes down to a low MPH. This is so dangerous if someone is driving behind you closely. This has happened to be on highways as well as local area streets. The car is leased and not even 1 year old. Nissan has not taken this serious and a lot more people have complained, they dont care and I hope you demand they look into this. It has happened 5x in less than a year. I have been in touch with nissan consumer affairs and no one cares!!!!!!!! I refuse to drive this car, its dangerous! Someone at corporate must taken action
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 nissan rogue. While driving 2 MPH, the vehicle accelerated independently with the brake pedal being depressed. There was no crash involved. The vehicle was taken to m'lady nissan located at 5656 northwest hwy, crystal lake, il 60014, (815) 459-2288 to be diagnosed. The mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 9,700.
Pulled into parking stall. With foot on brake, shifted car to park. Engine rev'ed and car lurched forward at high speed, jumped curb and concrete wall in front of stall. Impact from stopped car to wall is less then 2 ft, but car impacted with enough force to damage front and side panels (see photo).
Steering wheel vibrates when accelerating allways.
The first time the vehicle malfunctioned, I was driving in a grocery store parking lot with a personal friend and suddenly the car's emergency brake protection activated jolting the car to a stop. The second occurrence was in a parking deck (different from the first location) and the car again activated the emergency brake protection system jolting the car to a stop. I then felt this was a safety issue and brought this into the nissan dealership. They checked the car and called reporting they could not find anything wrong with the car and I should pick it up. I picked the car up and continued to drive it until I switched cars with a personal friend who used the car to drive one mile back to home down a 4 lane road. Upon coming to an intersection, she reports she began slowing down and got in a turn lane to make a left onto our neighborhood road and as she was approaching the light, the car activated the emergency braking system, again jolting the car to a stop. She states during and after the car came to a complete stop, she kept her foot on the break the entire time and while decompressing the brake, the car then jolted forward crashing into the car in front of her. I had the car towed in to the nissan dealership and had corporate nissan step in to investigate the car. 6 weeks later they investigated the car reporting that no error was found with the car and again I should pick my vehicle up. I requested specific tests and asked the testing process for the car and was advised by the investigation department that they could not disclose that information and that the testing and results were "property of nissan" and that they were not offering any further assistance.
Front emergency braking system failed to brake the car when there was another vehicle in front of the car and resulted in a crash. My car hit another car.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 nissan rogue. While in a parking lot with the accelerator pedal slightly depressed, the contact shifted the vehicle into drive. The vehicle accelerated independently without warning, drove over an embankment, and struck a tree. The front passenger side, door, and rear passenger door were damaged. Previously, while driving 60 MPH, the steering wheel was stiff and the contact had difficulty steering the vehicle. The vehicle pulled in the opposite direction of the steering. The air bags did not deploy. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was driven to a local collision center (caliber collision located on 14760 hull street rd, chesterfield, va 23832). The mechanic stated that there was a wheel alignment and steering column failure, which needed to be repaired. The front bumper, rt fog lamps, bumper grill, front camera, fender, wheel and pinion, windshield, front door panel/shell, door handle, door trim, and back door/quarter panel were repaired. The vehicle was not destroyed. The manufacturer instructed the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer. The vehicle was taken to vaden nissan of savannah (located on 10421 abercorn st, savannah, ga 31419) where it was determined that there was a wheel alignment failure. The manufacturer had engineers inspect the vehicle who did not find any additional failures. The manufacturer provided case number: 25674414. The failure mileage was approximately 1,500.
