I purchased a used 2012 Nissan Rogue in good faith from anderson Chevrolet. It was as is, so there was no warranty. However, the car appeared to be in good shape. However, there is a very common problem with these cars involving the cvt transmission where they fail. In spite of this being a very common problem, there has been no recall, no reprogramming, no nothing and the very expensive repair falls to the unknowing owner. I do not have an additional $4-5K to pay for this fix. And I am currently still in the middle of the loan for this car, so I cannot sell it. So I am left paying for a car that does not work, without means to do anything about it. This is unacceptable. Nissan disowns the problem, but it is a common problem. How does that work?

The vehicle was being driven on the highway and the acceleration completely dropped. The car would not go over 20 mph! there was a recall up to 2010 Nissan Rogue for the cvt transmission but doesn't cover 2012. The error was torque converter clutch solenoid circuit intermittent. The Nissan dealership said they don't replace that part and it needs a whole new transmission for $5000. I find it hard to believe other vehicles in 2012 have a recall for the transmission but not the Rogue.

Frontal impact caused airbags to deploy except the passenger front (no passenger) and the passenger rear side (passenger present). Nissan claims no deployment of side airbag is because no direct "T-bone" impact on passenger side of vehicle was sensed. Nissan also claims that the driver side airbag did properly because it sensed a potential rollover situation. Nissan was moving on city street and hit (T-boned) a truck pulling a heavy loaded trailer that ran a red light. Rear passenger side airbag should have deployed!

The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Rogue. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle went into neutral and it seemed like the engine stopped without warning. A few moments later, the vehicle drove normally. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 62,000.

At 49,935 miles, the transfer case and drive shaft (while driving) leaked and needed to be replaced at a cost of $1,514 + car rental for 2 days. The engine and power train are covered by Nissan's warrantee only until 5 year,50,000 miles. As I would believe that this is a Nissan design and manufacturing problem, and that other 2012 Nissan Rogue are having similar problems, I would very much appreciate if the NHTSA would investigate this to determine if a recall is warranted. Thank you.

Transmission went out in the middle of the highway I-75 southbound 37.5 mile. Two adults and kids 6 and 4 yrs old were present in the car. We had to get other people to help push the car over to the resting area and off the highway. We had to tow the car twice to the location were we were going and back to sarasota area where we live. The car was on the highway going 75 mph when it broke and could not move anymore. I called Nissan and created a case, but they refused help with anything. Nissan transmissions were recalled to year 2010. Ours is 2012 and they still made bad transmissions. It should be recalled.

When driving this vehicle long distances it will lose power without notice. When driving acceleration will go down to 0 mph. If you put the gas pedal on the floor it will still not accelerate. This car can not be driven long distances, as it has placed my family in danger numerous times. I have had to pull over on the side of the road and allow the car to sit. Many times this has occurred on busy highways. There is no fix when this happens. I have had 18 wheelers behind me when this car has suddenly stopped. Nissan will not acknowledge this issue. When inquiring about the issue Nissan is only seeking a diagnostic fee. Through research I have uncovered that this is a huge issues impacting tons of customers. I will never purchase another Nissan.

Summary: While driving my 2012 Nissan Rogue my car began to slow down even while I was stepping on the acceleration. Rpms would soar up any time I stepped on the pedal so I pulled over to the side of the road, let the car cool for a few minutes then tried to start it up again and as I stepped on the pedal the car barely accelerated (just inched along), leaving me to call and have it towed back. The car was brought to the used car dealership, the next day I received a call that my transmission needs to be replaced. The car is only 3.5 years old (well taken care of) and even though it has 67,000 miles on it, a car as new as this one shouldn't be having transmission problems. I contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs and after going back and forth with them a few times they decided they are not going to help me because the car is out of warranty, mind you back in 2003-2010 they put out an extended warranty program on all Nissan Rogues due to transmission problems, so they acknowledged the issue then I don't understand why they aren't acknowledging the issue now. I am still paying the car off and now I have paid $3,400 to have the trans fixed, that transmission lasted 12,500 miles before a 3rd transmission I was told needed to be replaced. After researching this I have found that the cvt transmissions in Nissan cars is not an uncommon problem, actually a very common issue. Well the 3rd transmission only lasted 4,990 miles. I'm told I need another transmission. #4 this is ridiculous. I have had the same issued with the car since it had 54,000 miles on it.

Acceleration problems, when stepping on gas vehicle crawls and whining noise from engine sounding transmission problems. Had it looked at when new with clunking noise from engine at dealer. They said they not seen any problems with Rogues and claimed a road test was done and no noises were heard from techs. Noises have continued and now having severe problems accelerating to even 30mph. Problem seems to come and go quite frequently, most occurrences happen after a long road trip. Vehicle has been serviced regularly, including transmission fluids and oil changes as recommended. Not sure what to do where dealers claim nothing wrong with vehicles. Does a serious accident or death have to happen to finally acknowledge several people complaining of the same issue. Google searches will show many forums of same complaints...
