"The CVT/drivetrain failed completely on May 28, 2026 at approximately 76,000 miles. The vehicle suddenly lost all drive power and came to a stop. Car is parked and completely undriveable. The failed component is the CVT transmission assembly — vehicle is available for inspection. Safety risk: Complete loss of drive power while operating a vehicle creates serious crash risk for driver and others on the road. Prior history: Nissan of Queens performed a CVT warranty repair on May 24, 2023 at 34,595 miles under Technical Service Bulletin NTB16-110Q for DTC P0776 — valve body was replaced. That bulletin requires a borescope inspection of the CVT belt before repair is complete. It is unknown if that inspection was performed. The vehicle passed three consecutive NY State safety inspections: January 2024, February 2025, and March 6, 2026 at 73,553 miles — only 2,546 miles before complete failure. Full maintenance history documented. No owner neglect. No warning lamps appeared before complete failure. Problem has not yet been confirmed by dealer as vehicle has not been towed for diagnosis. Nissan settled a $277.7M class action lawsuit covering 2014-2018 Rogues for this exact CVT defect. Nissan knew about this defect for years and performed an incomplete repair in 2023."

Check engine light comes on and then the engine sputters as the car slowly shuts off. Safety at risk because it happened while I was on highway

My car engine randomly shut down while in drive and would not drive on two occasions. Nissan cannot find any evidence that anything is wrong with my car. They refuse to assist despite this being a known issue. They told me I should pay to take it to another Nissan dealership to pay for another diagnostic test.

Have had this car for over a year and have been dealing with it constantly going into limp mode randomly throughout the day, usually when driving in stop and go traffic. Prior to going into limp mode (won't shift out of first gear), it lags for about 5 seconds while pressing the acceleration pedal and does not move. It's a huge safety issue when having to turn with oncoming traffic. I've taken the car to the dealer multiple times and Nissan refuses to acknowledge that there is any issue. When scanning with an OBD2 scanner, there are no codes associated with transmission issues. Transmission fluid has been flushed and replaced more then once since owning the car. On bad days, my car has gone into limp mode up to 6 times in one day. I've read this is a common problem with this year and model of car yet there is no recall for the CVT or cooling system for the transmission fluid. Mechanics can't seem to figure out a solution and I'm stuck with a car that has almost caused me to be in multiple accidents due to the hesitation/lag randomly when accelerating. I fear my transmission is going to go out every day I drive this car and it is my only car sadly.
