The CVT transmission in my 2019 Nissan Rogue failed unexpectedly at approximately 45,000 miles, just one year after the factory warranty expired. I first noticed issues on July 4, 2025, when the vehicle began hesitating and jerking in idle and occasionally during acceleration. On Monday, July 7, I drove it to a certified Nissan dealership for inspection, and during that drive, the check engine light came on. The dealership confirmed complete transmission failure. There were no warning lights or messages prior to July 7. The failure made the vehicle unsafe to drive, especially when merging onto highways or crossing intersections. The quoted repair cost was $6,500, which was unaffordable, forcing me to purchase a new Nissan vehicle instead. Nissan declined to offer any goodwill assistance despite the low mileage and known history of CVT issues in similar models.

Check engine light by model year
What owners say
Vehicle was issuing a judder feeling, and it had lack of power to the gas pedal at times. The check engine light ended up coming on for P0101 (mass air flow sensor). Dealer replaced the mass air flow sensor and cleared the code. Said they test drove it without any issues. After picking up the vehicle, it was within 10 min, the judder was being felt. Then taking the exit and slowing, I felt the lack of power to the gas pedal. Dealership was called instantly and did a further inspection. Advised that the code P17F2 was coming up and I needed a new transmission.

The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that a warning light was illuminated; however, the contact was unable to recall which warning light was illuminated. The check engine warning light was also illuminated. The contact stated that while attempting to accelerate, the vehicle jerked and hesitated. The failure had become more constant while accelerating. The contact stated that the vehicle was revving however, the accelerator pedal was not depressed. The vehicle failed to accelerate above 15 MPH on two occasions. The vehicle was taken to Auto Zone to be diagnosed. The mechanic retrieved an unknown sensor failure code. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 56,000.
WHILE DRIVING CAR, a series of malfunctions occur. It has happened a few times and the problem list just keeps adding on. The first time for no reason at all the collision malfunction light turned on, causing the vehicle to slow down and have almost no power. Car was turned off and on then went away. Same thing happened a couple days in a row. Then while driving I noticed when pushing the rear defroster, the back up camera turned on WHILE DRIVING FORWARD..... the traction control light appeared, followed by the collision (AEB) warning malfunction shortly after. During each encounter with this the rear wiper would turn on very slowly. Now following all the engine light is turning on.
As I was bumper to bumper in traffic this morning going roughly 30-40 mph, my car stalled, rumbled, and all of my engine lights came on including engine malfunction. I was unable to accelerate at all, but luckily I was still able to pull over on side road. I restarted my car and now a couple lights remain, including engine malfunction. This could’ve been a serious accident if I were going faster.
Engine light came on , checked condition with reader. Error code p0181 was displayed. Fuel temp sensor is a problem.
Had the car for less than 2 years and the fuel temperature sensor caused my check engine light to come on research shows that previous models were recalled due to a faulty fuel pump which is the way you repalce that sensor ive owned cars for much longer and never needed to replace the fuel pump on them a brand new car outside of warranty of course and already needing work done that costs several hundred dollars close to a grand - hands down the worst vehicle ive ever owned its stopped in the middle oftraffic before but of course dealership couldnt replicate that - the radio cosntantly unsyncs with devices never plays right I have to turn it off and turn it back on all in the same trip just to keep playing music everything from the purhcase of the vehicle to owning it has beena nightmare and apparently a costly one at that
I was the first car at a red light, when I started driving, the automatic braking system was activated with absolutely nothing in front of me. Thank goodness the car behind me was paying attention and was able to avoid hitting my nissan rogue. I took it to the dealership and made a compliant through nissan. The dealership and nissan technician stated that there is nothing they can do, as they cannot replicate the issue. In addition to the aeb system issue, a week later, I was pulling out of a fast food restaurant and when I took my foot off the brake, the car locked up, the engine light came on, and the car turned off for no reason. Again, the dealership and nissan technician stated that it could not be replicated. This is a very dangerous issue and I no longer feel comfortable driving the SUV I loved.
I drove home a brand new 2019 nissan rogue sl awd from the dealer on a friday night with 9 miles on it. I drove it on the highway to go skiing the following day and then on monday evening (after 3 days of owning car and 362 miles), the engine malfunction indicator light went on. Called dealer and they said to bring in to look at it and also the nissan connect email stated to open/close gas cap. After doing so, a couple of start/stops, the light did not come back on. I called dealer and said if it comes on, I will bring in but let's wait and see. On wednesday (day 5 and 440 miles), I was commuting home from work and while in middle lane of slow moving traffic on a state highway, 6 malfunction indicator lights all went on and the car felt strange. As soon as I could, I got into the right lane and realized I had no acceleration as if the car felt like it was in neutral. I was able to coast over and into a nearby parking lot thankfully. I called dealer and they advised to call for road side assistance and tow to their dealership. I was given a loaner and have been working with nissan consumer affairs. The car is still not repaired after 8 days of being in service department and them working with nissan specialists. They believe they found the electrical connection issue and are still working through it and will test but I do not feel safe getting back into this vehicle after having an engine failure that could have resulted in serious injury or worse.
