This happened on 3 occasions before I took the car in to the dealer for inspection. While driving (twice on the freeway and once on surface streets) the the car began to abruptly loose/decrease speed despite my attempt at maintaining speed by accelerating, the car's RPM meter began acting erratically, and the engine began making a sound as if struggling. In all cases I had to put on my hazards, move over/pull over and I had to turn the car off in hopes that it would "reset." When I took the car to the Nissan dealer I was told my transmission was overheating repeatedly and failing into a safe mode. They said this was a known issue with the Nissan cvt (Rogues) and replacing the transmission wouldn't solve the problem unless a transmission cooler system was added to fix the issue. I was told a technical service bulletin existed as it was a known problem but we were never made aware of this safety issue. Instead of Nissan proactively letting customers know this so that we could fix it or issue a recall to prevent unsafe driving conditions they just ignored it. I was told to contact Nissan Consumer Affairs which I did and spoke with a woman named "laura" who agreed to pay for a portion of the repair (70%) but would not send anything in writing, give me her last name or document that this was a known problem and safety hazard. She stated that they were at no obligation to either be proactive or cover the full cost of the additional cooling system as there was no recall in place.
Car does not accelerate after stopping and trying to yield to oncoming traffic or turn at a stop sign. Extremely dangerous because it will all of a sudden decide to go and the RPM goes up really high.
Car drove fine then in the middle of going through an intersection the vehicle stopped accelerating and check engine light came on. Check code it was P1778 for stepper motor. Vehicle only has 87000 miles on it. Brought to a transmission stop to replace the valve body to have a new stepper motor. Had the part put in to find out the whole transmission failed. We could've been killed in the busy intersection with this happening without warning.
I purchased this vehicle in 2018 and within a few weeks had issues of the engine light coming on, I brought it back to the dealer where I purchased it they were unable to identify the issue, I brought it to the Nissan dealership they replaced a sensor but did not believe it was the issue, the light went off and on a few times, the forman of the shop was on vacation and was going to check the vehicle out when back, the engine light went out and remained out so he never looked at it. On October 29th my engine light came on and my vehicle has quickly began to buck and feel like it is going to stall. Since purchasing this vehicle I have had nothing but problems from the entire seal of my windshield coming off and having to have the entire winshield replaced only to have the seal around it begin to come off again within 2 months, my tailgate has completely died and will not work on manual or power, water leaks in and the carpets get wet. This vehicle has been nothing but ongoing issues since I purchased it.

While driving on an interstate, my 2014 Nissan Rogue would rev and the RPM's would surge unexpectedly and without warning. While driving it would randomly jerk, shudder, and hesitate. We experienced a sudden loss of acceleration leading premature transmission failure. My check engine light did not come on until the car lost the acceleration capability. This put us in great danger being that we barely made it onto the side of the interstate. My car had to be towed to Nissan and since I have been advised that the transmission needs to be completely replaced.
I was driving on I-95, and needed to accelerate, I slowly pressed in the gas pedal, and I notice decreased acceleration and my RPM went crazy! I pulled over to let the engine rest, after 20-30 minutes, I proceeded to drive again and lost acceleration power again! in the middle of the road! very unsafe, finally, I made it to my destination, only because I drove in low gear, scary event... not comfortable with driving it anymore....I thought you suppose to at least get a warning light on the display, but I didn't.... now understanding this at all......'

I was headed South on the I-5 (southern California, lots of constant traffic) when my car stopped accelerating after about 45 minutes. Going uphill, I put my pedal to the floor and wasn't going over 60mph, my rpms reaching above 4. my car made a whining noise every time I tried to accelerate. So I put my hazards on, took the closest exit, and let my car rest for about 5-10 minutes. I got back on the freeway after resting and not a minute or two later and the same problem occurred. I put my hazards back on and just pulled off on the shoulder, letting my car rest again for another 5-10 minutes. I tried again, now reaching the top of the hill and was able to finally coast down the hill the problem happening again, but this has happened multiple times before. The first in the beginning of July, the second and third around August and September, and then now. It only happens on drives about an hour long (or longer) when I go out of town.
