Complete transmission failure by model year
What owners say
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.
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.
Vehicle made high pitch whine noise from park to drive and reverse to drive and nuetral to drive can be heard on left driver side and slow upon acceleration. It feels boggy. When the sound initially started I took the vehicle to el cajon nissan where I was told there was no sound and they were unable to duplicate and that there was no code. When taken to kearney messa nissan in April of 2024 they diagnosed as cvt issue and replaced the transmission. I provided them with multiple videos of the vehicle making the sound. After the replacement the noise ceased and the acceleration was much quicker and smoother. As of now, the vehicle has begun making the sound again and is boggy. I have provided nissan with videos and have taken the car on a test drive and the technician did hear the sound but admitted it was faint according to him. I received a text from the technician today 11/26/24 stating the car was great and they drove it multiple times and heard no noise and experienced no power loss. But my car continues to have trouble accelerating and this continues to endanger me and others on the road. I am happy to provide the videos of the sound upon request.
I was driving and suddenly the gas pedal gave out my vehicle never shut off but would not accelerate even with trying to floor the pedal. Then it jolted off into traffic and the gas pedal went right back out within 45 seconds and glided into a parking spot. It took me 3 hrs to find a mechanic to come to me because it was after business hours and there were NO LIGHTS on the dash and engine was running extremely quiet code P0776 was what his computer said and nissan dealers and other mechanics all are saying I need a new transmission. The vehicle is jolting on and off coming out of parking spots hesitant on acceleration. Another mechanic didn't pull up any new codes just previous codes and as I've said there has never been a light on my dash and I get regular fluid changes filters tires etc, I was told the alternator is losing voltage it should be at 14 or better and mines was at 13. I don't even know where to begin seeing as though there are no lights ever on my dash and I've had my truck for almost 4 years and now it's a guessing game.
