2017 Nissan Rogue has 118k miles and never had a lick of problem, till this morning when the CVT failed. The dealership to where I purchased the used Rogue, stated that the transmission is the stated problem when plugged to the computer system. No specifics and now the cost to repair is $4,900. From what I have read, Nissan is aware of the CVT issues, so why not provide a recall to fix or mitigate the damage to the customers. Why hasn't Nissan addressed this issue instead of sweeping it under the carpet.

The vehicle started back up. Called the dealer, Watermark Nissan in Madisonville KY. Made an appointment for them to check/diagnosis problem. Took the Nissan Rogue to Watermark Nissan on 1 November and again on 10 November. Dealer could not diagnose problem. I drove vehicle home without incident. On 3 December at approximately 1100 hours I was driving the 2017 Nissan Rogue to Clarkesville TN. The Rogue stalled again on the highway, all dash lights were out, no power. I was stuck in the middle of the right hand lane on the highway. Traffic was lined up behind me and couldn-??t get around me. I waited a few minutes and the Rogue started back up. I immediately drove the 2017 Nissan Rogue back to the dealer on 3 December and left the Rogue with them for repair/diagnosis. I told them I was not driving the car until they repaired it. I also told them the car was a safety hazard and to continue to drive it would be a hazard and may cause injury or death. On 6 December, Watermark Nissan called me and said they could not find the problem with my Nissan Rogue and that I needed to come get the vehicle, which they did not repair.

At approximately 68,000 miles and in April 2021, my 2017 Nissan Rogue SL began exhibiting a lag in acceleration from a complete stop. Upon pressing the accelerator, there would be a 3-4 second delay before the engine and rpms would engage and the car would simply crawl forward in that time. I felt the need to try pumping the gas pedal to try to get it to go but that didn't help. After several seconds, it would accelerate and the rpms would go up normally. After doing this three to four times after complete stops, the car goes into "limp home mode, " in which it will not shift gears or accelerate above 45 mph. Stopping and turning off the engine, waiting 45-90 seconds, and then restarting almost always resets the car so that it will perform normally again for a little while. But it always recurs, especially if I spend any time idling, such as at a traffic light or in a school pickup line. This is very dangerous, as I am not able to count on my car to get me through traffic when turning onto a road or crossing a road at intersections. I fear being unable to get out of the way of oncoming traffic with that delay in accleration. The Nissan dealership mechanics have looked at the car for this problem twice and have been unable to resolve the issue at this time. They say it could have something to do with the electrical harness, which is costly to repair and the car is no longer under warranty. The mechanics have been unable to recreate the problem, though it happens frequently in daily use and occurs more often in warm weather than in cool or cold weather. The engine, however, does not register overheating. There is no check engine light when this happens.

The sunroof of the 2017 Nissan Rouge has drains that are very inadequate and in my opinion defective. My 2017 Nissan Rouge had white mold growing in the carpet of the floor board before I discovered the floor board was wet under the mats (which were mostly dry.) There was no warning or instructions that the sunroof drains had to be cleaned periodically. This mold growing under the mats is a clear health hazard in the air inside of this car. It goes undetected for some time because the leak is insidious and not under any sort of recall. I have had cars with sunroofs for years and never experienced any sort of leak problem like this

It seems the 2017 Nissan Rogue, as well as almost all other years of that make/model have a defect in the drainage system for the sunroof. The drain lines clog which leads to water accumulating significantly under the floor of the car. The initial indicator of this is a wet floor, not that big a deal. However, the water cannot drain at all from under the floorboard so it remains wet, which leads to mold and mildew. it also can lead to rusting the connections of the front seats with the floor board that quickly rots since it is permanently soaking wet. The health issues of breathing in moldy air in an enclosed vehicle are significant and the rotting floorboards that can lead to a seat being dislodged are also concerning. There are numerous examples of this online. The dealer is aware of the problem but does not believe it is their problem to address. Nissan and the dealer feel it is a maintenance issue where the car owner must clean out the drain tubes twice a year. There is nothing in the owners manual indicating this is a requirement or a necessity. Warranty will not cover it since they feel it is a maintenance issue.

The air conditioner in my Nissan Rogue has not been working. I have dropped my car at Nissan 3 times last year and the ac problem has never been fixed. We cannot drive in hot weather because it blows out hot air.

My 2017 Nissan Rogue has 39,000 miles on it, after I bought out my lease a few months ago I noticed in warmer weather and when the engine and transmission are good and hot, I am having trouble accelerating. I do hot highway driving and longer city driving once we start having to do traffic lights and or stop signs I have noticed that my car will not accelerate, I push the gas petal to the floor and it will barely move, and the transmission makes noise and will not shift. I have to pull over and let it cool for a bit in order to get moving again. I have taken it in for service twice and they cannot get this to replicate and have told me there is nothing wrong with my car. This last time I picked it up after they had it for two days and it occured the very next day. No warning lamps lights or messages appear when this occurs. I feel this is a very big safety issue, if I do not get going at the proper speed at a light or stop sign I may get rear ended. It concerns me that they cannot seem to find what is wrong as it continues to repeat over and over again.

While driving up hills on city streets the car seems to slow down and have a hard time getting up the bill. The A/C also stops working when this happens as well.

The transmission is faulty and when driving in the freeway or even the streets I would notice that the car starts to jerk back and forth. Secondly I believe it unsafe whenever turning at high speeds the car feels as if it can tip over. Within my first month of purchasing the car there was tons of engine problems.

Stopped on 95 N to pay toll. When exiting toll booth, the car would not accelerate to normal highway speed causing cars to almost run into the back of the car. Was only able to travel a few miles before the car would not go anymore. There is power to the vehicle, but the engine won't engage. Had to have vehicle towed 40 miles to my destination. It is still not operational.

My 2017 Nissan Rogue is still under factory warrant and I purchased an extended warranty. On 9/30/2019 my Nissan Rogue was missing and stalling so I took it to my mechanic (alpine automotive Inc., 5495 w. Mississippi ave. Lakewood, co 80226. A diagnostic was run on this vehicle producing code P1715 input speed sensor primary speed PO776 oil press solenoid B. found service bulletin ntb16-11ol that indicated the vehicle needs a valve body and reprogram. Unfortunately this mechanic deleted the codes and this has hindered getting my transmission fixed under warranty because Nissan will not work on my vehicle until they get a code from their diagnostics. This is putting me in harms way because I operating this vehicle which is defective, stalls at stop lights and will not accelerate unless I floor board the accelerator. I have called Nissan headquarters and they will not return my phone calls, even though I have opened up a case with them. As this vehicle deteriorates, I am going to be in danger driving this vehicle. Can you please intervene and help. My complaint is not against alpine auto, but Nissan headquarters as they will not allow the repairs to the transmission because they cannot see the codes when they do a diagnostic. There is documentation that these codes indicate a repair is needed and Nissan is allowing me to drive a defective vehicle and putting me in harms way. I am attaching the invoice from alpine automotive Inc. Which clearly indicates the codes found. My vehicle is in my garage.

2017 Nissan Rogue sl - platinum. Forward impact collision sensor has been having issues for ever a year now. It was in the shop at the dealership the week after I bought it for this issue. The car brakes on its own and wont let you drive forward. I have taken it to the dealership and reported it to Nissan usa multiple times, and have multiple cases open. The dealership has had it in their shop 8 times soon to be 9, which is 8-9 full days in the shop (taking it in next week to get done again). They are now refusing to replace/fix the part for free. The car has this problem when I am trying to drive. It has happened on back streets, highways, turning left, turning right. It senses something that isn't there and errors out and stops. 10-30 seconds later it lets you go again. This has been happening between March 2019 and May 2020 nonstop reprogrammed multiple times replaced sensor 1X (replacing for the second time next week so 2X total replacements on part) re-calibrated multiple times computer updated multiple times.
