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.

Engine seems very weak. Not enough power to safely pass on a highway. Absolutely gutless and sometimes upon acceleration and/or braking it jerks.

After driving home from an appointment tonight 9/14/2024, my Nissan Rogue 2018 began shuttering, stalling and jerking. I was only 3 miles from home, and it happened all the way home, with times I didn't think the vehicle was going to restart. I was in saturday afternoon traffic and cars where swerving around me avoiding my car, and trying to not hit me. Vehile mileage is 71,256 miles and only myself as owner in it's entire history. I've had allthe oil and fluid changes necessary for it to operate. I have left a message by contacting Nissan USA, and will be contacting attorney because I am almost certain it's my CVT transmission failing.

Transmission constantly jerks. It is constantly feeling like it is fighting itself going down the road. Mechanics have test driven it and can't feel it sometimes or can't diagnose the problem. Been this way since I purchases the car. I bought it with 42 miles on the odometer.

The automatic breaking system keeps glitching. Nothing is in front of us and it brakes and jerks the car to the side. We have serviced the car 3 times for this issue. They provided a system update and it has happened over 4 times since the new update. Nissan said it's normal and could be caused by 'rain , bugs , 'air' ' at this rate. I'm sure a fly is not setting off my brake system while going 70 MPH .. It happens randomly. I'm tired of braking going 70. My kids life's are more important then a system update. Nissan said they could see our car had error codes but said it was normal. These need to be recalled. These photos were different times

While driving on a 4-lane city street, the vehicle jerked (stopped, started, stopped, started) by itself with the warning buzzard sounding as if the brakes were being pumped.. We had just driven over a railroad track about 50 feet behind us when this occurred. This happened roughly 8 months ago and has not happened since, thankfully. We had owned the vehicle only 3 months at the time, and thought something had to trigger this, knowing it was not me applying the brakes. I've driven over these same tracks hundreds of times since with no incident. Never thought more of this until the news broke of the problem.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a representative was sent to examine the vehicle at priority nissan (6390 richmond rd, williamsburg, va). The front sensors were replaced and a software update was performed, but the failures continued. Also, while in reverse, the rear sensors malfunctioned and failed to alert that a second vehicle was positioned in the rear, which could cause the driver to back into another vehicle. In addition, while driving with the cruise control engaged and set at 55 MPH, the speed would increase on its own while driving on a curved road. The cause of the failures was not determined.

October 3, 2018 I went to a local mall. On my way out of the parking lot lights started blinking on my dash and the automatic emergency braking system engaged unexpectedly when there was no other car near my car either in front or on either side. The vehicle was moving steadily about 25 to 30 MPH on the road before you get to rte 100/422 bypass. There was no reason for this incident to occur since there was no other car nearby, no debris on the road, and nothing adhering to the front of the car near the sensor. I was totally freaked out because the car was jerking, the car (not the driver was in control) and it almost did not stop at ta major intersection. God forbid I was on a major highway or I would have been dead. The vehicle was in motion but the control of the vehicle was under absolute control of the automatic breaking system.
