Follow up from Nissan district regional manager was the same as the Nissan dealership. They refuse to help and have zero issues sending people off onto the road with an unsafe vehicle that can stall or stop at any time. There needs to be another class action lawsuit opened for all of the people who are still experiencing these problems because there are a ton of Nissan Rogue owners who have transmission issues that the dealership refuses to acknowledge and fix.

I am back at the Nissan dealer to fix a recall but also to express my continued concerns regarding the clunking noise that I keep hearing when I accelerate. A year ago I was told by this same Nissan dealer that it was part of the transmission and there was nothing that they could do for me. Today I requested for it to be looked into again and the report back is they test drove it and hear no noise which is a LIE. I hear it every single time I drive my car and now u am being sent back on the road to drive a car I feel unsafe in. Nissan intentionally ignores you simply because there is no check engine light on despite there being a problem driving the car. They are forcing time to pass on so that the warranty and mileage is past the point of them being accountable to fix the issue. I don-??t recommend anyone buying a Nissan rogue because they don-??t care whether or not you feel safe.

A transmission issue with my vehicle first occurred on the highway. I purchased the vehicle in 2021 from Carvana who stated all open recalls had been taken care of. When I took the car into the dealership for the transmission issue, Nissan said the recall expired a couple months ago and would not honor the expired class action lawsuit. I'm trying to see what my options are for getting this repair done.

My car key fob is in perfect working conditions with no defect. I was told by a person my key fob, would ve deactivated if it wasn't repaired. My fob work just fine, and my bigger concern is that my alarm with locking my car is associated with my fob. My safety of car jacking and theft is larger if my fob is deactivated. I dont have a broken fob. So if my car can't lock and it gets stolen, I will sue Nissan, and and will go after those who can't just change or replace the gobs with some thing updated.

Driving on Highway 65-68 MPH, RPMs rose drastically (4-5 RPMS) and gas pedal did not operate. Slowed to side of road, shut car off. Waited on side of road approximately 3-4 minutes restarted car and drove to home. Immediately made appointment at Bradenton Nissan on February 11, 2022 stating to the Service Dept. what had happened. They claimed "Transmission did not duplicate problem no problem=no found; no code related to CVT". On August 1, 2023 same thing happened on highway travelling approx. 67 MPH, went to change lanes and car would not operate; RPMs flew to 5-6. Pulled to traffic light stopped engine and started again; drove home. August 2, 2023 took to Bradenton Nissan where they stated it was a transmission problem. Why was this not fixed in February of 2022? It was a major safety issue at that time.

On July 14th of this year, I was driving my vehicle on the highway when it abruptly accelerated without me changing my pressure on the gas pedal. The check engine light then turned on, which prompted me to have my car inspected as soon as I could. I did not have an appointment until July 20th and was unable to use my vehicle until then. On inspection, I was informed it was due to an issue with the transmission, but was also told this was a known issue with the 2016 Nissan Rogues. There was a class action lawsuit filed with these vehicles regarding their transmission as they exhibit a delay that-??s typically accompanied by the engine revving while the driver depresses the gas pedal with -??little to no increase in speed". According to the suit, other Nissan Rogue drivers have also experienced and reported stalling, jerking, lurching, juddering, hesitation and/or shaking while driving their vehicles, as well as premature transmission failure. The apparent CVT defect has been documented to occur without warning while a vehicle is being operated normally. This puts other drivers, as well as myself, in danger as this becomes an unreasonable safety hazard. I am aware that Nissan had accepted responsibility to repair these vehicles for this problem because of the inherent problems and widespread failure. It is also my understanding that the window to get these repairs ended on December 9th, 2022, and I purchased the vehicle 1 week later, unknowing and unwitting of these issues. I feel that Nissan is still responsible to fix their defective vehicle and I am asking that this repair be completed under the same terms as what was offered during their repair campaign. They are still responsible to make this right for the safety of the users of their product, as well as other drivers around them.

Last week - while I was driving the power steering went midway - I had to swerve from an on coming car and it took both me and my step father to gain control. I took it to a mechanic and He noted it was the power steering motor was defective and needed to be replaced. I bought this car on or about 2019 or 2020 and it only has 34, 000 miles - should be noted after a heavey 3 day rain this problem occured. I called Nissan and because of the recall they told us to drive it to Nissan which is a distance away - only to address the recall. I noted to them that the car was in a state "Not safe to drive " - I got an email from them proof of ownership - and they wanted us to pay for tow for diagnosis ? The motor obviously is effected from this recall - or it should be listed. I made several phone calls to Nissan USA - and emails. NO avail. this is dangerous and costly repair 2400 dollar estimate repair. Thank you Joseph Kelley repuntzle42@hotmail.com Joseph Kelley or Rebecca fitzgerald

I am writing because I received a letter stating that this would be resolve and new parts would be available by Spring or June 2022. This has not happened yet, and it is August 2022. I would like to know when new parts are going to be available for repair. I am afraid to drive my vehicle because of what might happen. My Toyota Rogue did the same thing and caught on fire. I was forced to buy another vehicle.

While driving on freeway with speed of 60-65 the hood starts like bouncing up and down. I have a fear of it breaking loose from the latch and flying up toward the front windshield and blocking the drivers view to drive. I have not took it into a manufacturer due to time so I just decided to see on the app if there was a recall on this or if anyone else has the same experience
