Rogue

  • 80,000 miles
Apparently, according to my mechanic at jamie's tire in xenia Ohio, all wheel drive Nissan are having problems with the rear differential electrical coupler going bad. This causes it to slip and cause damage to the differential. According to him I am not the first with this problem

Car stops accelerating randomly. Some days it won't go over 60mph while I'm already driving on the thruway. Other days it will drop speed from 70 to 60 and I have no control over acceleration. This always happens on the highway.

While driving my 2015 Nissan Rogue on a busy highway at 70 mph, all of the sudden the speed dropped and would not go over 60. I was able to drive to nearest repair shop with hazard lights on. By the time I drove into repair, the speed was doen to 45 mph. The repair shop said it was a transmission issue. I had the Nissan towed to a transmission shop. They said I would need a new transmission. Before I authorized the transmission shop to repair, I checked for recalls or issues with Nissan dealership. I was told there was an issue, but that it included 2015 Nissan Rogues manufactured until March 2015. Mine vehicle was manufactured in July 2015. My problem was exactly the same issue from their "issue" where they had expanded the warranty for the transmission issue.

Rogue

  • 55,000 miles
Was driving along vehicle in motion on way home from work on a fall evening that gets dark pretty quickly. Slowed down at a stop light and the transmission suddenly died while going over an incline. Vehicle refused to move forward and almost rolled back into the vehicle behind me. This happened on a busy highway. It was pretty dangerous being stuck in the middle of a major intersection while it was dark. Had to get police to block the right lane to avoid being rear ended. Eventually got the vehicle towed.

Rogue

  • 110,000 miles
Noticed transmission slipping when going into first gear, specifically when taking off from at a complete stop. If in eco mode it is worse. So far only doing it in 1st gear, worried it will give out on highway like I have seen others. Took to Nissan to have diagnosed recently and told I need a new transmission with just over 110K miles. They do not want to cover it as it is out of warranty. There are recalls in other Rogues for this exact issue, of course not mine.

My vehicle currently has approx 65,000 miles on it and recently started making loud noise when accelerating above 45 mph. Took to Nissan dealer and informed a new transmission is needed. No recall is listed for this issue despite numerous complaints posted with similar issue on various websites. Nissan will not acknowledge problem when I spoke to Consumer Affairs department.

Rogue

  • 91,000 miles
I was turning on a road with a 50 mph speed limit and my car started shuddering and there was weak acceleration having trouble getting up to speed. I had plenty of time to make the turn but the cars weak acceleration caused my family to be in an unsafe condition, we could have been hit. Car vibrations, shuddering, weak acceleration, and a loud noise was detected in the cvt. I took my vehicle in to check the issue, and the repair shop stated I would need a new transmission because these transmissions have a history of problems causing a driver and passengers to be put at risk.

Vehicle lost all power to accelerate when outside temperature was high or the vehicle had been in use for several hours. Installation of an external transmission fluid cooler fixed the problem. Vehicle was unsafe without this addition.

Rogue

  • 116,000 miles
Took my Nissan to mechanic and he told me that the transmission is bad and I've just had the car for less than 2 years. I bought it and it had 82,000 and now at 116,000 the transmission is already bad, that is not right at all. I bought this car thinking I wouldn't have nothing but regular maintenance to do in it not a freaking $3000 to $4000 maybe more to put into it. My god I payed a lot for this car and now the transmission is out of it. That's uncalled for. Nissan needs to step up and take care of this problem. When I get in the car and start it up it doesn't make any loud sounds then when you put it in drive and accelerate it makes a loud roaring sound. As you accelerate it gets louder. I'm so disgusted with Nissan. I will never buy another Nissan in my lifetime

Rogue

  • 80,000 miles
I unlocked my car to get in and then when I tried to start it, it made this clicking sound. The battery turned on so I kept trying to push on the brakes and then press the start button and it still wouldn't work. I did this about 6-9 times and then finally the car turned on. After a few second the A/C turned off and then turned back on. On multiple occasions it doesn't detect the key in the fob. I have changed out the battery in my key fob, I had it looked over by 2 mechanics and my battery and start and engine look good and are in good condition. It happened every time and my car turned off while I was pulling out of my driveway and quickly turned back on.

Our cvt transmission went out while going 70 down the highway. Completely out of the blue, no prior symptoms. No acceleration. Almost got into multiple accidents. Nissan will not pay anything to help us with this, despite the thousands of submitted issues with cvt transmissions. Our family has 3 Nissan and 2 have had cvt failures. We will never buy Nissan's again.

After a long period of highway driving in hot weather, the car stopped accelerating past 3000 RPM and immediately began slowing in traffic due to the cvt transmission overheating. I was almost unable to make it up a hill and get off for a gas station to stop.

Rogue

  • miles
My car started shaking while in reverse and slow to shift gears while accelerating at about 60K miles I took it into multiple Nissan dealerships and they told me there was nothing wrong with my car. I took it in again at 80K miles and they told me that I was on the way to needing a new transmission at 80K! and they had seen lots of other cars like mine but the warranty just lapsed. Now at 98K miles my check engine light came on and I had the code ran to find out it is the transmission. Another side effect is my gas mileage has dropped to about 20 miles to the gallon highway.
