Rogue 4-cyl

  • 1,500 miles
I have been bringing my vehicle into the dealership for 4 years complaining of the transmission messing up. ( won't go at red-light, shudders when taking off, weird noises). They always just test drove it said nothing was wrong. I brought it in yesterday for an oil change and again complained about transmission. The tech comes in and says I need a new one and it had been like that for a while. I bring my car there all the time for service and they lie saying they check everything. Now I need a new transmission and they won't help cause the warranty is up but they would not fix it when I had the warranty. I want either my car fully fixed or my money back on the car. I called Consumer Affairs and they said they can't/won't help.

Rogue 4-cyl

  • 69,250 miles
Was driving for about an hour and while going 65 on the highway with the cruise control on the RPM rose from 2 to 4 but the car was not picking up speed or accelerating. I disengaged cruise control and the car was not responding to me pressing the gas, while being able to coast to the exit I had to go up a small hill and was a struggle. RPM not going over 2 and just sluggish trying to climb. I was able to safely get off the highway and to a gas station check fluids and all fluids were full. I drove back home and the only issues I had were going up hills were the car wouldn't accelerate over 2.5 to 3 rpms.

Rogue

  • 85,300 miles
My car was in motion while driving on the interstate when I realized my car was losing power while I was trying to accelerate. My car did not come to a complete stop but it dropped from 70 mph down to 30 mph gradually. I was able to safely move my car to the side of the road and call for roadside assistance. Weeks before I noticed my RPM hand jumping erratically and when I went to get to diagnostics no one could find anything wrong with my car. I finally took it to Nissan on the day that I was driving on the interstate and I lost acceleration. I was informed by several mechanics that it was my transmission and that Nissan has an issue with transmissions and it wasn't worth the money to be replaced.

  • 31,000 miles
Cvt transmission jerks in eco mode each time after releasing the gas pedal, also even when not using eco mode the grinding noise coming from transmission when going down the hill even if you're not applying on the brake pedal, also front passenger seat vibrates when in drive mode and holding the brake pedal at the light, the SUV has only 33,500 miles on it. In my opinion all issues are due to manufactured faulty transmission. According to mechanics consulted was told jatco company that makes transmission for Nissan makes bad cvt transmissions. A friend's dad owns a Nissan also and had his cvt transmission that went bad replaced with a new purchased cvt transmission from Nissan dealership and after about 60,000 miles he's having transmission issues again.

Rogue

  • 49,000 miles
The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle was involved in a crash and the entire front driver's side was damaged. The contact was injured and was rushed to the hospital for medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home and then towed billy navarre Nissan (1700 siebarth dr, lake charles, la 70615, (337) 439-9955) where it was repaired three months later. Since the crash, the vehicle had been back to the dealer at least ten times. The tcm in the engine, an etrc sensor in the engine, the belt pulley, the transmission, the body control module, and the tpmf were replaced. All of the failures originated from the engine. The continuously variable transmission was replaced and recalibrated, there was a loose pin in the power relay box, and two sensors had to be changed, including the 02 sensor. In addition, the gears did not shift fluidly and the transbody sensor needed to be changed. The most recent failure was the vehicle sputtering and the transmission straining to change gears. By the time the contact pulled into her neighborhood, the vehicle had no acceleration and the check engine indicator illuminated. The contact planned to have the vehicle towed back to the dealer. The contact believed the vehicle was not in driving condition since the crash. The failure mileage was 49,000.

Rogue

  • 62,000 miles
2015 Nissan Rogue, brought brand new, has 63,000 miles. Having transmission issues for >9 months. I have had no previous issues until then. I cannot drive for more than 30+ min before my vehicle starts stalling at stoplights/stop signs. When I go to accelerate after briefly stopping, the car stutters and bucks until I press harder on the acceleration. The stuttering gets worse the longer you drive it. The safety issue with a car not properly accelerating when you need it to, is concerning. I have taken it to the Nissan dealership multiple times and they claim they cannot "duplicate" the issue, while the technician admitted to experiencing my complaint while he drove it a few times. They say nothing can be done because no codes are rendering a problem and I have to wait for the "problem" to get worse or ultimately, until the transmission "goes out" as the Nissan rep told me.

Rogue

  • 62,912 miles
Transmission failed at 62912 miles. Shudder, jerking, power loss, whining noise, lurching. The car 'jumping' forward almost caused me to hit a car in front of me on the thomas johnson bridge during rush hour traffic.. the sudden power loss caused great concern for safety on the I-95 beltway. I am grateful no one got hurt.
