I'm seeing the same issues that MANY people have already mentioned. In the last day or two I noticed something strange going on but couldn't pin point it. I bought the car used and it has ALWAYS had a small hiccup when I drive up the hill by my house. Sometimes worse than others, but nothing has ever happened so I didn't think much about it. On my way to work today with my children in the car, there was a HUGE hiccup and then it stopped driving forward. I was able to go in reverse and park it back in my driveway. I had to call someone to come get us for work.

I paid for an extended warranty and hope this will be covered but it's ridiculous that this is an issue and nothing is done about it. Had I seen all these complaints before I bought the car, I would have bought something else. I'm worried that even if the transmission gets "fixed" I'll have more problems going forward since that seems to be the trend I'm reading on this site.

I purchased this Rogue in 2011, it was a turned in lease with 19,000 miles on it. It is a 2009 vehicle.

The transmission died in 2013,(not sure of mileage at that time) Nissan did replace it under warranty at Troy Nissan of Michigan, With extended warranty I was told by All Pro Nissan that it is covered until December of 2018 but I am over on the mileage by approximately 8000 miles. On April 9th my transmission went out again. We had it towed to All Pro Nissan in Michigan. which was just down the road from the transmission failure.

This will end up being the 3rd transmission this vehicle needs. I have contacted Nissan several times and each

person tells me that there is nothing that they are willing to do. I feel Nissan should stand behind this since this will be transmission number 3. This is ridiculous! I am 51 years old and am not abusing my vehicle, When speaking to Nissan, one of their agents admitted there is no reason a vehicle should need another transmission. So it is going to cost $4000.00 to have it fixed plus a $115.00 diagnostic fee. I can't find many repair shops that will even touch this issue, I have been told it is a piece of junk. I will not have Nissan fix it. I will have it towed home. I need Nissan to do the right thing and stand behind this multiple transmission problem.

I bought my 2009 Nissan Rogue used in 2012. It's been a great little car but lately I'm having trouble accelerating after the engine warms up. I was hopeful it was my catalytic converter going out but it sounds like this is a common problem. I live in a mountainous area and drive about 27 miles to work and home again every day. What happens is that when I drive my car up the hill to my home, the car makes a whirring sound and lurches a bit back and forth -- like its not getting gas. Then last week I drove my car over the mountain pass. About 2 hours in, heading over a the pass at 4000 feet elevation, my car starts to whirr even louder and it begins to lose acceleration despite having the gas pedal pushed all the way to the floor. I inch over the pass at about 35 miles an hour literally praying that it doesn't break down in the mountains. I had my two small children in the back seat and I was really worried! Thank the Lord we made it home -- literally inch by inch, with people honking, passing and giving me dirty looks the entire way. I had my flashers on but people behind me were angry. I was embarrassed and really concerned, and a little frightened about what might happen. I'm just glad we made it.

Anyway, I called the reputable garage where I normally take my car and they were super negative about working on it. They said that they probably wouldn't be able to fix it unless they could replicate the problem. I was frustrated. I mean, it's really unsafe to drive a car like that! Then, this morning I began googling and learned that there are transmission problems with Nissan Rogues and that the warranty has been extended to 10 years and 120,000 miles. Talk about getting in under the wire - I have 111,000 miles on my car. I'm taking it to the dealership tomorrow and they are going to run a diagnostic to see if the problem stems from the transmission. That costs $135! I'm supposed to be going on vacation next month -- a road trip across the Sierra Nevadas! Talk about dangerous. We will have to cancel the trip or maybe rent a car if my transmission doesn't get fixed. And I am a single mom. I don't have that kind of money. We might have to cancel our holiday but all the hotel rooms are already booked and paid for.

I'm trying not to panic. I'm so disappointed. Other than this my Rogue has been such a great little car. I love it. But now it's not reliable and I am so worried about driving anywhere with my kids. I am hoping that Nissan takes care of this. :-(

Driving approximately 18 miles on 45 mile an hour roads, not even on the highway, I was on my way home after dropping my daughter off and all of a sudden the engine revved and no power to the vehicle. Luckily it was a Sunday afternoon and I was able to pull into a restaurant parking lot. I tried turning off the vehicle and starting it back up a few times, shifted into D and R and nothing happened. No movement of the car. Had to call AAA to have it hauled to the dealer near my house. Awaiting word from the dealer on the extent of the problem. This was not highway driving in hot temperatures like other people have reported it was local driving in 60 degree weather. I had to chuckle when I dropped it at the dealer to fill out paperwork and one of the sales guys said he'd never heard of such a thing with these trucks (actually called it a truck) and that they were typically very reliable. He must live with the fairly godmother too.

Update from Oct 21, 2016: Luckily my Rogue is part of Nissan's CVT extended warranty which is 10 years and 120K miles. The transmission was shot and was replaced by Nissan and the dealer. The cost to me was zero. Other than this not costing me a thing I find this problem to be almost as bad as the airbag situation. Thankfully I was close to home but if I were ever on a busy highway during morning or evening rush hour this could have been disastrous. I'm almost 60 years old and have been driving since the day I turned 16 (learners permit) and have never ever had something like this happen to me. No warning, nothing. This car and this transmission is a POS. A local transmission shop owner once told me that the CVT is ok in a snowmobile but not in a 4000 lb automobile. I tend to agree. I've had this car 13 months and already had it into the dealer 3 times. Transmission cooler leaked (two trips) and dealer wanted $1100 to replace, had it done at the tranny shop for $250. I will never ever buy another Nissan again. I had a brand new 2007 Versa Hatchback for 8 years and 130K and had absolutely nothing other than normal wear and tear with it. I miss it.

Was going on vacation and going up a hill on the highway with my 3 grandbabies in the car and totally lost any power, car would barely move. I pulled into the rest area and pulled into a parking spot, tried to move forward and had the gas to the floor and the care wouldn't move at all. I let the care sit for about 10 minutes and it finally moved so I could keep going. Was totally afraid to drive the care home which was 1 1/2 hrs away but drove 40 mph on the highway with my blinkers on all the way. This is a horrible feeling when your car has issues, I thought it was gonna cause an accident on the highway when the car just wouldn't go above 40 mph and the traffic was flying by.

OMG.. Bought the Nissan Rogue loaded promised it would last to 200,000 miles.

At 99,000 Transmission was replaced (Plus a million other things that they SAID had to be fixed first - SCAM!)

then they replaced the CVT.

Now 60,000 later -This transmission is worst than the first one. AND it is totally not working. NOW I am told that I need to have it replaced but - First the Manifold & Tube for the Exhaust needs to be replaced first. WTF.. Nissan needs to do a recal on this lemon.

OH and I have sunk $6000. into this car in the last year. Sway bars, Tyrods, Wheel bearings, Abs Controller, CV Shaft, drive shaft, Need I go on...

Any advice?

Previously had transmission replaced at 30,000 miles because of annoying vibration and excessive noise.

Recently had my 2009 Rogue in for a trans fluid change and complained about a low droning sound coming from the the vehicle. Said that they found wheel bearing were "loose" and needed replacing. I declined that service because the noise I heard definitely did not sound like wheel bearings.

Complete trans failure on way back from St. Louis on May 14, 2015, with about 86 miles to dealer and stranded for 4.5 hours before a tow truck arrived. Contacted Nissan and took them two days to diagnose with two error codes (P0715, P1723), solution is to replace entire trans at a cost of $3,800! Service manager contacted district specialist who declared that he is not willing to negotiate even though Nissan has extended warranty to 120,000 miles. Nissan would not provide a loaner car if repairs were to be made.

My thought is that my Rogue has 138,000 miles less the 30,000 since the other trans was installed so it fits into the 120,000 mile extended warranty. Also, since there has been so many reported problems with the CVT trans in the 2008, 2009, 2010 Rogues there should be a compensation to those who still own and have had issues with the transmission. I did notify Nissan's Consumer Affair Program (800-647-7261) and got a case number to proceed with complaint. However, this could take forever to rectify and I'm without a vehicle.

What I would consider fair is for Nissan to replace the transmission at no charge, and I would pay for half of the labor costs to install.

I'm aggravated at Nissan. I bought my 2009 Nissan Rogue brand new and from a Nissan dealership. They were not helpful at all just telling me I need a new transmission. My car has always been maintained from a Nissan dealership. My car only had 138,000 miles on it should not have had to have a transmission put in. We spent a almost $30,000 on a Nissan that I had always heard they last a lifetime and 6 years later I have to have a transmission and spend $2000 on replacing it. I think Nissan should repair all of these transmissions at no cost to the customer and if the customer has replaced it already Nissan should give the money back to them. The technician at the dealership says the only way to fix it is to replace it but they don't know what causes the problem so they just replace the whole thing.

We bought this car used about a year ago. I started to notice the issue when we would travel for more than 45 minutes. Basically, the car won't accelerate. This is so scary! I am afraid to turn into traffic not knowing if my car will stall or not. Just on the way to work today (only about 40 minute drive), I get off the freeway and then my car will not go at the light. Petal all the way down and it acts as if its in neutral. Clearly there are several other people experiencing the same issue.

Nissan really needs to recall this. it is unsafe. I have a baby on the way and I don't trust her to be in my car. God forbid something happens. We attempted to go to dealership two weeks after we bought it and they said there was nothing they can do. its ridiculous.

I will NEVER buy a Nissan again.

I have come across many complains regarding CVT transmission. Car would create loud noise when driving and give significant jerks to make you not drive it again. I some how managed to get on side of the road and called towing services. Currently due to transmission failure, Transformation Box assembly is broken. As per dealer it is not covered under warranty and I will have to pay out of my pocket @ $3500 to have it fixed.

I think Nissan need to really recall CVT transmission cars. Currently I am talking to Nissan assist to see if they can help me anyway to fix this problem.

Update from May 5, 2015: Driving back from work Car would create loud noise when driving and give significant jerks to make you not drive it again. I some how managed to get on side of the road and called towing services. Nissan is agree to pay for Transmission damages. However due to transmission failure, Transformation Box assembly is broken. As per dealer it is not covered under warranty and I will have to pay out of my pocket @ $3500 to have it fixed. Nissan is not ready to pay for transfer case as its not under warranty. But shame on Nissan as it was failed due to faulty transmission. They don's have character to man up and fix it.

I Nissan need to really recall CVT transmission cars and fix whatever is damaged due to it. Really shameful.

I bought a brand new 2009 Rouge. The transmission failed on the way to work and I had to have to car towed to the dealer. The dealer said it is the transmission but I was over the warranty time of 120,000 miles. Nissan had extended the warranty due to the transmission problems. They will not recall the transmission and I have to pay to have it fixed. It will cost over $4,000 to have fixed and Nissan will not do a thing.

I called the corp office and they do not want to hear a thing...This needs to be recalled.

While driving in the freeway, I felt vibrating/shaking, I thought it's my tires. While changing lanes, my car started to acting up, I was having a hard time controlling my steering wheel that I almost lost my life and it felt like my car is running out of gas or someone is pulling my car, it's really scary/life threatening and I don't know what to do. I was able to exit myself safely while my heart was beating extra hard.

My car was taken at the nearest Nissan dealership. But unable to give me a diagnosis after 1 week. I was late at work for a few days. Called Nissan consumer affairs, they gave me 2 days of free rental car worth $35/day without tax. After waiting in many days, Nissan dealership finally gave me the diagnosis of my car and it's " Transmission Failure". But prior to this problem, I have had told them that I've been feeling the vibration/shakiness in the freeway, they said they test drive my car and found no problem at all. Few months later my car transmission failed. My car gave up on me :( . I thank God that I'm okay. I'm not 100% sure if my SUV is safe to drive it again.

I spoke to the Nissan dealership manager where I always take my car for maintenance, I ask if they put a new transmission, he said it's normally not a brand new transmission it's kinda like a refurbished kind. Is this true or not? Advise is highly needed. Thank you!.

This sounds like the same problem as others on this site. After driving the car for approximately an hour it decelerates from 70-75mph to 50 mph going uphills. I always know when it's going to happen because it has a whine sound before it slows down. I have to turn on the flashers and pull off the road or wait for flat ground before it will "kick back in".

I have taken it back to Carmax twice (as that is where I bought it). They said it was a 'conversion point sensor'? and replaced that. I had bought the extended warranty so it only cost me $50. On the way home it happened again ( we live about and hour and a half away.) I took the car back in 2 days later , they checked it out and said " It's fine, there are no codes coming up and to bring it back when it does it everyday" I only drive it once a week which is about 200 miles round trip. I also was charged $90.00 for them to check it again because it was a new problem.UNBELIEVABLE!

Now here it is one year later same problem different week. Driving interstate 40 with all those semi's in this vehicle is a definite safety hazard!!!! Does someone have to get killed or badly hurt for this problem to get fixed? What happened to recalls for a nasty problem like this one? AND where are all the old timer mechanics that didn't have to rely on CODES to know what the problem was?

This problem has happened to me on several occasions. It happens after the vehicle has been driven for over an hour or if it is being driven at a slight uphill (for no specific time).

Once I am driving at speeds over 60mph, all the sudden, the car starts decelerating. The RMP stays around 2000-2500 and it holds a speed of 40-45mph. This is NOT OKAY as highway speed limits in the greater Denver area are 65-75 mph.

When I exit the highway and come to a complete stop the car would not accelerate when I'm ready to take off. It takes about 10 seconds before the car reaches speeds of 15-20 mph. NOT COOL AT ALL!

Getting rid of the car, I do not even want to waste my time with the dealerships. Pointless.
