2018 Nissan Rogue transmission problems

Filed Oct 30, 2026 · Electrical, Suspension · IN

Vehicle at any speed highway, interstate and rural, will kick on AWD while in motion. Then the triangle warning light and a code on dash stating awd is overheating to stop vehicle. I am the second owner of this rogue haven’t had it 2 months and just in the last week it’s done it about 40 times. It does affect the steering and brake reaction time as well. Yet no actual code pops up when scanned. It’s also tearing up the rear differential due the the FAILURE WITHIN AWD INTELLIGENCE. It does have a toggle switch but when it kicks itself on the switch is useless. Only way to turn it off is to restart vehicle and even then it typically does it back to back.

On March 20, 2026, at 83,606 miles I reported to Gunn Nissan Dealership my 2018 Nissan was shaking and shuddering.   Over a five-month period , and repeated trips to Gunn Nissan the shaking and shuddering progressed to clunking without Gunn identifying the problem as a cvt issue. On September 6, 2026, Pep Boys discovered that the transmission cvt scudder had completely failed. The cvt failure threatened my safety by leaving me stranded on the road. It is my understanding that a failing transmission has the potential of suddenly seizing up or slipping into neutral while driving.   The Chassis Control error light came on the day after the replacement transmission was installed. The transmission failing has been an extreme financial burden. I  am a Senior Citizen on a fixed income and have had to unexpectedly acquire a new vehicle after having lost confidence in the car's future safety, in Gunn's ability to reliably diagnose needed repairs, and Gunn's and Nissan Consumer Affairs' willingness to comply with the federal safety agency Settlement Agreement, and/or extended warranty contracts as appropriate. I have also incurred expenses of at least $700.00 on rental cars and towing expenses.

The vehicle was sold to me 3 months outside of the extended manufacturer's warranty in December of 2025 with known issues with the CVT transmission. Since owning the vehicle for less than one year, the transmission has begun to fail. The vehicle was taken to a different Nissan dealership (Poughkeepsie Nissan in Wappingers Falls, NY) where it has been confirmed that the transmission is failing and will not go into gear correctly. Service records for the vehicle were pulled from the dealership that sold it to me (Romeo Nissan in Kingston, NY) and the transmission had never been serviced or repaired. If the vehicle slips out of gear or will not go into gear correctly, this could cause a major accident including life threatening injuries and potentially death to myself or others in vehicles around me. When I reached out to Nissan consumer affairs, they only offered to cover 50% of the cost to repair or replace the transmission which is a cost of $3200 to myself which would cause a severe, undue hardship to my situation. This vehicle is not safe to be on the roadways, as it can fail at any time. There have not been any warning lights or messages to the transmission issue. The transmission can be felt slipping while driving. The CVT transmission is a known issue with Nissan engines, which is why they offered an extra, extended warranty on these vehicles, but Romeo Nissan let the vehicle sit on the lot until it was outside of the extended warranty before it was sold to me.

My 2018 Nissan Rogue CVT transmission has failed to accelerate on two separate occasions while driving. The vehicle would not respond when I pressed the gas pedal. The car was still running but would not accelerate. The issue resolved on its own both times. I currently have approximately 69,000 miles on the vehicle. I am concerned the transmission will fail completely.

While driving, the CVT stalls. The vehicle becomes sluggish and slows to a crawl. During this time, the driver is forced to turn on the hazard lights, place the car in park and restart the engine. Once restarted, the car can be placed into drive mode. This can occur several times while driving. This problems occurs more frequently when traveling in traffic requiring speed changes.

Hello: I own a 2018 Nissan Rogue. While on the internet I found an the federal safety agency announcement that said there were problems with the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). The vehicle has 80,800 miles on it. The recall states that the warranty covers 7 years/ 84,000 miles. I looked on your website and found there’s no recall for that transmission. Is that correct? I have included the link below. Thank you. [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

around 170,000 miles the vehicle started to feel like it was jerking when you went to pull off. eventually when you put it into reverse and barely press the gas, the engine would rev loud and you can hear the transmission get loud and the car would start to jerk driving backwards. driving down the road after around 30 mins you can feel under the gear shifter and the center console will start to disperse heat to where my leg starts to get real hot. sometimes it jerks and hesitates to take off way more then often. i have got a friend that does mechanical work to look at and drive the vehicle and he says that yes it is a transmission issue.
