I have had nothing but issues lately with my transmission and now, it's sitting in a parking lot with me having to leave it there as it lost its power to even move!! I had service completed & have always kept this vehicle up and even had the transmission fluid checked this time and now that it's not drivable, I did a little research on car complaints.com and edwards.com and see so many complaints, it's sickening. This vehicle is a 2012!!
My cars transmission is making a weird sound when I turn it in and while me driving it. I was driving on the highway at about 60 mph when suddenly the acceleration dropped down to 20-25 mph in traffic with other cars speeding toward me but when I try and accelerate, the RPM go up, but nothing happens. This is a serious safety issue, as my transmission failed in the middle of traffic, with no warning putting myself, my family and others at the highway in grave danger. I went to mechanics they told me that I have a cvt transmission problem and that Nissan is fully aware of the problem, this should be a recall this problem is putting people's lives at risk.
I'm just so upset with this vehicle. When you drive for about an hour the truck won't go past 70. It starts to slow down and you can't get any speed. I was going to wv and it started messing up I couldn't even pull the hill. It would just go so slow, couldn't get in another lane. It was so scary thought I was gonna get hit. The car always has an whinning noise when your on the road over 30 minutes. You have to cut the truck off, let it sit a while to get the speed to come back up. The next day I was on my way to the beach and it would not go past 20mph. Mash the gas to the floor and it would just make noise. Other than that I like the truck. Every time I take it to the dealership they are trying to charge me almost 1,000 dollars for something that they knew about before they sold these cars to the consumers. Nissan need to recall these cars, they are very dangerous especially if your on the highway with babies in the car.
Continuously variable transmission)cvt failed for the second time since purchasing the vehicle brand new. I was driving on an interstate highway when my engine suddenly lost power. The engine rpms shot up but my car started slowing down. I took the car to a nearby Nissan dealer to be inspected. The service person there said the cvt fluid was overheating causing the transmission to basically start slipping. He couldn't tell me why the cvt fluid was overheating but he said he could install an external transmission cooler (for $1300) that Nissan made for the vehicle that may alleviate the problem or replace the cvt. I had them install the cooler and the problem went away. Obviously Nissan knows there's a problem with their cvts and they designed a solution that they are making customers pay for to have their vehicles returned to a drivable condition. The sudden loss of power could be a safety problem if it happened during highway rush hour traffic. I was on an 8-lane interstate in Texas when it happened to me but luckily it wasn't rush hour and I was able to move all the way over to the right lane and take an exit off the highway.
The cvt transmission failed at 113,000 miles while we were driving on the freeway which resulted in us almost getting into multiple accidents. We had gotten the engine serviced every 3,000 miles for the past five years so the failure was not due to neglect.

Labor day last year, we were driving down an old rural road, just got done passing a car and then our Rogue sounded like it revving the engine, then next thing we know it died at 65 mph with only 102,000 miles on it. $1000 engine later we fixed it. Now, last week on my way to work, trying to get up to 60 mph on highway and it revs up to 4 grand and will not shift. We limp it home. Thought needed tranny fluid so we add some. That Friday we take on a 2 1/2 road trip, we had to slow down to 40 mph for construction and then accelerate when construction was done. The car would not accelerate it revved up to 4 grand again. When we tried to get up a hill, on a freeway mind you, we had the gas pedal pegged and it climbed the hill at 20 mph. This was on a freeway very dangerous!! we limped it to a gas station and parked for awhile to get it cooled down. When to move it and absolutely no acceleration it would not move. Nissan she recall this whole [xxx] car and give us our money back. The cvt is junk and they have recalled prior years. 2012 and newer need to be recalled as well.

My cars transmission is making a weird raining sound when I turn it in and drive it, I know there is a recall for Nissan cars for the cvt transmission wondering if mine is covered.
This happened backing onto a public street. The vehicle wouldn't move in a continuous movement forward or backward. The vehicle moved as though the transmission was slipping.
I was hearing a strange noise when I would take my foot off the excelerator I would hear any loud fluttering sound. Brought it into Nissan service. I was told it was the front differential case. As a researched I found that this is a common problem in my vehicle that ended up as a dangerous problem. Although mine was caught before I had a serious accident they cost for a repair is over $3500. If this is a common problem why is Nissan still putting these cars on the road with this problem?
The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Rogue. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was towed to rockland Nissan (608 NY-303, blauvelt, NY 10913, (845) 358-6700) where it was diagnosed that the continuously variable transmission needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000. The VIN was unavailable.
While traveling on the interstate between 70-80mph my vehicle dropped to 60mph and would not accelerate past 60mph, then when pulling off an exit scared it wouldn't go past 20mph. This put my son and I's safety at serious risk with having no control over acceleration. I got to a mechanic which did a diagnostic and told me it was torque converter with transmission. The car only has 65K miles. This is insane to have these issues and clearly this needs to be a recall. I fortunately purchased a transmission warranty. Waiting to see what the total damage is. This should absolutely be a safety recall.
Nissan installed defective cvt transmissions in several vehicles between 2010-2016. My 2012 Nissan Rogue is included in that. I am now being told that I need a new transmission, and Nissan is refusing to replace. It. my vehicle starts fine, but the transmission has failed. After looking online, I've found numerous other complaints of the same issue, and I feel there needs to be a further investigation, and recall on this cvt transmission. The vehicle starts, but when you try and accelerate, the rpms go up, but nothing happens, then it will screech and lurch forward. I had to have it towed to the dealership, who confirmed that it was a problem with the transmission. The salesperson at the dealership advised me that Nissan was aware of the problem with the older cvt transmissions, and have fixed it in the new 2019 models. This is a serious safety issue, as my transmission failed in the middle of traffic, with no warning. Please see attached links for several other complaints, and class action lawsuits, involving Nissan's cvt transmission.

I have a cvt transmission problem, this should be a recall. My car should not need a new transmission. Aamco is telling me I will need one so I took it to the dealership where I bought it, they ran codes and said nothing was wrong but I needed a over $1200 external cooing system and it is under warranty and then I get a call and its not. I took it to there other dealership and the salesperson and mechanic said there was a problem...it started out loosing power and driving down the road thats kinda scary. I know there are other complaints out there about this and I need to know what to do....
Vehicle had cvt transmission failure at 90,000 miles. Car speed uncontrollable between slow or too fast on the highway. Nissan dealer indicated transmission was failing, but would not replace it. I filed with Nissan consumer services to check vehicle since cvt transmission failures are being repaired by other car manufacturers. Nissan has refused to address the issue and mechanic agreed this is a failure on the company's side. I had to replace the transmission at a cost of $6,000 and there are still issues with the boot and front case transfers that are not working properly. I'm requesting for Nissan to issue a recall against faulty cvt transmissions and replace these since these are dangerous on the highway.
I was driving on the highway at about 60 mph when suddenly the acceleration dropped down to 10-20 mph in traffic with other cars speeding toward me. I tried to accelerate but could not -- putting myself and fellow motorists in grave danger. I could barely make the car go 10 to 20 mph to make it to an off ramp to try to get to safety. My 2012 Nissan Rogue transmission failed. There is a repeated history of transmission failure by Nissan including the Rogue. Nissan is aware of the problem and extended warranty to cover some years and models for this problem. They have not covered others yet there are repeated complaints. Nissan is fully aware of the problem yet has put myself and other motorists at risk. I called the nearest Nissan repair service center to tell them a tow truck would be brining my Nissan there. I barely started to explain what happened and immediately the service center person said he knew what it was the transmission and asked for my VIN so he could see if it was covered by the extra warranty Nissan granted some models. It did not. It will cost $5,400 to replace transmission and complete repairs which I will ask the service center to complete. However, a recall should be placed on 2012 Nissan Rogues for this issue. This problem is putting people's lives at risk.
Without prior warning, including absence of dashboard warning/trouble lights, the car with ~86K miles lost power while accelerating through a traffic light per "limp mode" response to transmission (cvt) failure.
In 2016 I purchased a 2012 Nissan Rogue from a dealership with 80,000 miles. After three years (107,000 miles)the transmission blew out. My wife was driving on to the ramp of I85 in ga, vehicle in motion, when the transmission failed. I contacted Nissan to resolve this issue as they told me that unless it showed neglect on my behalf, they would they be willing to help. They explained to me to bring the Rogue to he nearest dealership to do a diagnostics test. When I went to turn on the car to take to dealership, the car would not drive. The car was only able to drive in reverse. I had to call a tow truck to tow it to the dealership. After about a week of the vehicle sitting in the Nissan dealership, Nissan Consumer Affairs contacted me back as they made a decision to deny helping me. This is completely unacceptable as the car is only 6 years old. I have researched the history of Nissan Rogue and it seems that they have had issues with this in the past. They informed me that my car was no longer under warranty and the total expense would be my duty. This car is not safe to drive. I was informed by Nissan Consumer Affairs to file a complaint as to explain what happened. I know that this has been a problem with Nissan in the past years. Nissan should be responsible for making this car is to drive and built to last. Nissan should stand behind their product.
