Bought car from win motors today; took to mechanic next door..said it was okay; when asked for receipt for testing mechanic said he did not do that. Car drove fine until I got home and when I moved from street into driveway, I heard grinding noise on brakes, but more importantly, when shifting gears a loud sound of straining; paid cash for used car. Really hope I can resolve with 2 day return.

Rogue

  • 70,000 miles
Check engine light illuminated at just over 70K miles with P1740 torque converter clutch solenoid inductive signature. The vehicle was taken for repair, and after inspection it was determined that the materials inside the transmission were deteriorating, damaging the bearings and causing fluid leakage and inadequate pressures in the transmission. This repair is costing almost $3000 and is well before standard expected maintenance schedules for the transmission.

Vehicle loses power. This is random but the esp light is always on when it happens. This problem is worse on inclines. The car will not move. Car hesitates when trying to accelerate. You can have the gas pedal all the way to the floor and the car won't go, or barely moves.

Rogue

The air conditioning regularly stops working and will blow out warm air. We have taken the vehicle to dealerships and mechanics and they cannot replicate the problem as it requires some period of driving before it will stop working. Sensors and wires have been replaced. Coolant level is fine and this has been happening over the past two summers.

Rogue

  • 62,000 miles
There is something desperately wrong with the transmission/power in my vehicle. I lose power when going up hills, especially when they are continual, like up a mountain pass! there is a super high pitched noise when the car runs for over an hour, like squealing. Told there is no problem at Nissan dealership, this is not true. The noise happens in every gear when it starts and doesn't stop until the car cools again. The power in vehicle that is lost up hills, will keep it from ever going above 60 until several hours later. The power is lost in the whole vehicle, it lags and sometimes nothing happens during this power loss when pushing the gas pedal. The loss of power is so much that it can't continue to go up hills sometimes and I've had to pull over! very scary on a mountain pass!

There is a recall on the Nissan rouge 2015 on Nissan recall page relating to reprogrammng of cvt transmission from 8th of December 2016 but this isn't on your page. My transmission went and was told it is over the mileage warranty and when asked was their a recall on my vehicle was told emphatically no however on investigation there is two recalls. When I later contacted them with this information they said they sent out a letter. I got no letter and when I said send the letter to my email account the employee stated he had no access to this information so how can he say a letter was sent out. Nissan are continually putting these cvt transmissions into cars for years knowing they are not fit for purpose and there is no fix for them. You just need to google Nissan cvt transmission failure to see the devastation they are inflicting on people

Rogue

  • 40,000 miles
I was driving in snowy conditions and vehicle began baulking as if it was going to stall. A chassis system control warning displayed on th dash. I contacted the dealership and they advised it was due to the slippery road conditions. They advised to turn the vehicle off and back on and the warning would disappear/reset. I did this and the warning was removed however, brief moments of random "baulking" continued. A few days later I was travelling on a multi lane highway in a snow storm. The vehicle began to severely "baulk" and then the vehicle stalled completely. I was traveling very slowly due to the road conditions and the stall was so sudden, there was not enough momentum to get pulled over to the side of the road. I tried to restart the vehicle. It would start for 2-3 seconds and stall again. I was stranded, with my children, partially in a live lane of traffic, on a busy highway, in a snow storm. I kept trying to restart the vehicle and after approximately 20min it started again. I was able to drive about 5 -10km before the vehicle stalled again. I wanted to report this issue as I found a recall for 2014 and older Nissan Rogue for the same issue that was identified as a fuel pump issue. Nissan reported the issue had been corrected formrogue's manufactured after June 2014. My vehicle was manufactured Feb 2015. This is not only a recall issue, it is a serious occupant safety concern.

After driving in city traffic all day the Rogue would not move as I was heading home for the day. I bought the Rogue new in 2015 and in October 2016 this happened. Took to a dealership and work was done. Car ok until: September 2017 the Rogue was shifting late and not down shifting going downhill. Took it back to dealership. Nissan said just to drain some of the transmission fluid and put in new transmission fluid.

Rogue

  • 35,000 miles
When the temperature is over 90 degrees and the car has been running for at least 10 minutes the car has acceleration issues. When at a full standstill such as at a stoplight the car will not accelerate quickly and respond to pedal pressure. When the pedal is floored and trying to start again it has a long delay like the transmission is in a high gear or is overheated. I know there have been many issues online about the cvt of the Rogue. This only seems to happen when it is hot out. There are also issues when going up an incline in hot temperature the car does not respond to pedal pressure and acceleration. This is a safety issue in that when trying to turn left at a light I expect my car to go and not stutter and there have been many close calls to being broadsided.

Rogue

  • 50 miles
There is a vibration noticeable in the floor, pedals and steering wheel at around 1250 engine RPM whenever the car speed is steady. It corresponds to about 45-50 mph when driving in eco mode. It happens while cruising at steady speeds on straight or curved roads. I have complained two or more times to the dealer and Nissan usa and the only reply I have received is that it is normal for that model. Other owners have reported this problem on internet forums. I am afraid this vibration will affect the long term reliability of this car.
