As we are on our way driving to work, there was weird sounds coming out of the engine, we had no check engine lights turn on an advance to give us a warning. After those weird noises, we pressed on the gas the car would not move, that-??s when the engine light came on and the car turned off, there was smoke coming out of the front it smelt like something was burning, we moved out of the car fast. We tried turning the car back on but it would not turn on.

my vehicle stopped accelerating in traffic. It will shift into neutral, or it may appear to be in gear while the RPMs climb but there is no forward motion. this has happened multiple times at slow speeds. during the most recent incident, the check engine light came on and the code was something about a transmission solenoid being stuck

To whom it may concern, My 2017 Nissan Rogue's CVT transmission went out. I was driving home on March 11, 2022 and I turned right safely into an intersection when the oncoming traffic had a green light and my vehicle stopped accelerating. We could have been hit by incoming traffic because of this. It was not until this happened that I found out that there was a class action lawsuit against Nissan due to this CVT problem. My vehicle was not displaying any warning signs, it just stopped accelerating. Nissan failed to notify their consumers about the ongoing issue with the CVT transmission on their vehicles to have the vehicle inspected prior to warranty being expired. I am a single mother, full time employee, and full time student. I purchased this vehicle in hopes of it being reliable. Instead, this malfunction, I was almost hit by incoming traffic because of the lack of communication with their consumers. Letting consumers know this late is ridiculous, considering most of the affected models are close to the end of their 5-year warranty period. I demand an answer from Nissan, I will not accept that they are not doing anything to help me cover the costs which have been estimated to be closer to $10,000 by a Nissan certified service department. Nissan failed to communicate this problem, my daughter and I's safety was compromised when driving this vehicle, what if this would have occurred while we were driving on the highway. I could have been hurt and so would my daughter. I contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs and they declined any sort of help.

When I drive the 2017 Nissan Rogue the acceleration is very slow and no responsive. It's dangerous as I cannot even maintain speed of normal speed limits. I have had fuel injection service and oil change but it made no difference. There are times you could floor the pedal but there is incredible hesitation and knocks.

While driving at low speed in Mountains, transmission over heated and went into failsafe mode which prohibited shifting. In steep Mountain roads inability to downshift causes excessive use of brakes and could result in dangerous speeds.

I have not had it checked by a certified mechanic, however I have a witness who drove my vehicle for 2 days experienced the same problem more than once. After driving the vehicle for a while, let's say 30 minutes, when I try to accelerate from a stopped position, when pressing on the gas pedal, it does not go. It doesn't stall, it just won't go as normal. I keep pumping the gas pedal and eventually it will go, and sometimes lurches forward. It is unsafe.

I drive a 2017 Nissan Rogue that has just under 65K miles on it as of today. Without a prior indication of a problem from the car's warning system, I suddenly began losing transmission power and experiencing significant engine hesitation while driving yesterday, August 23, 2021. Specifically, the car would hesitate at least 3 seconds and sometimes as long as 8 seconds before engaging, thus putting me in great danger in traffic and on public roads. Additionally, the engine would begin revving up from 1 to 4+ rpms while simply trying to maintain a speed of 40 mph. This caused me to constantly have to remove my foot entirely from the accelerator, further putting me in harm's way while in traffic on both residential and highway roads. I lost control of my vehicle. I immediately proceeded home as carefully as I could manage, stored the vehicle overnight in the garage, and took it to the dealership first thing in the morning. To my great surprise and disappointment, the Nissan adviser informed me that the diagnostic codes received were P0776 and P1715, both of which were addressed in previous Nissan Service Bulletins in both 2018 and 2021. Furthermore, these codes indicate specific issues with the CVT - something that has plagued Nissan for years and continues to be the center of many lawsuits and causes for extended warranty programs. In fact, I experienced CVT transmission failure in a 2015 Nissan Rogue that I owned previous to this one. My sister also experienced the same safety hazard in her Nissan Rogue. This is an ongoing and hugely unsafe problem. Currently, my vehicle is at the dealership, awaiting response from Nissan Corporation as to whether they will replace/fix at no cost, considering the blatant CVT issues and the fact that my powertrain warranty expired less than 5k miles ago and that several other models with the exact same issue have been granted extended warranties, etc. This should be at no expense to me. I had my car inspected last month by Nissan!

This vehicle was purchased at a Carmax dealership in October of 2020. During the test drive it was observed that when accelerating and slowing, the car would jolt back and forth. The dealer told us that was "just how hybrids drive". It has since been inspected by an EV certified mechanic and the jolting was actually due to a failing transmission. We purchased the car and continued to drive this dangerous vehicle for 9 months.

My 2017 Nissan Rogue has been jerking, lurching, and there are times when the accelerator is depressed but the car does not accelerate at all It is extremely dangerous. Nissan has confirmed that the CVT has failed. This seems to be an ongoing issue with many of their vehicles and it doesn-??t not feel like adequate action is being taken to remedy this.
