Cvt transmission defect. Jerking, shudder, RPM vary up to 3500 RPM when it should be ar 2,000 RPM. Sometime it quits in traffic. Does the same in city, on highway, traffic hazard to me and other motorist.
We were traveling on interstate I-20 in Georgia at approx 75mph when suddenly the car just lost all forward momentum. My husband attempted to give the car more gas, but with the pedal all the way to the floor, he narrowly manged to get us across the lanes of traffic to the shoulder of the road without being hit. We were almost rear ended several times, and attempting to cross the lanes of the highway was extremely dangerous. Once on the side of the road, he checked to see if there was a visible or noticeable reason the car acted this way and checked all fluids- including the transmission fluid. After checking everything he could, we resumed travel, with the car being a bit sluggish then resuming travel as normal. We looked online to see if others had this problem, and read that older Nissan had a replacement recall on the transmissions- but not the newer one. This even has terrified me, our daughter and my husband with how dangerous a situation we were put in due to the defect of the transmission.
The car shudders and jerks while accelerating, causing the engine to stall. It stalled on the interstate and in the city. Both themes the engine stalled, it was accelerating from a stop.
Car was running fine. No issues. Parked overnight. April 18, 2018 would not start. Thought it was a dead battery. Would not jump. Has been towed and seen by personal mechanic and Nissan dealer. They think it may be BCM/ECM issue - but they are not sure - no codes. Problem is car wont respond. This could have happened while driving and someone could have been killed. It was sudden and no warning. Still does not work at all. Dealer cannot with certainty identify source of issue.

Vehicle suddenly lost acceleration - engine was running but car wouldn't go forward. Sent to repair, and go the car back but a few days later the same thing happened. Was told that it couldn't be repaired and was taken from me. I was told the vehicle had been auctioned off as junk but I want to know if it really was. It should definitely never be back on the road.
Transmission began jolting and shuttering this past week at all speeds. When accelerating it's not an issue, however, when maintaining speed the rpms increases and decreases as the transmission shifts up and down. This causes the car to slow on the freeway and roadways. It feel very dangerous.
Transmission cooler was replaced the week 6/05/2017 by carriage Nissan of gainesville, ga and on 6/16/2017 the Nissan Rogue was losing power on the drive back from atlanta(approx.. 3 hour drive). Rogue was taken to fenton Nissan in knoxville, tn and Nissan agreed to replace the transmission but would not pay for the transmission cooler. Rogue was picked up from fenton Nissan on 7/3/2017 and on 7/5/2017 the Rogue lost power and the transmission stopped working and my wife was stranded 40 miles from home. Rogue was towed to fenton Nissan and upon investigation found that an unauthorized part was used in the transmission cooler by carriage Nissan and all the transmission fluid had leaked out. A new transmission cooler was installed free of charge.(we paid $680 for the first defective cooler) during the time that the Rogue was at fenton Nissan computer diagnostics test was performed prior to releasing the Rogue to us and no codes showed up. Less than a week later the Rogue starting acting up and once again took it back to fenton Nissan and was informed it would cost $3000+ to replace the electrical harness, Nissan has agreed to pay 50% of the cost. I feel that unauthorized part caused undue stress not only on the transmission cooler, transmission, and engine but also the electrical harness as a result of all the power surges. There have been over 468,000 recalls for Nissan for electrical harness failure from 2008-2013 and also some 2014 Nissan Rogues. My Rogue VIN number doesn't show up on the recall list but it safe to assume that since this has been a problem from 2008-2013 and some of 2014 then why couldn't effect my vehicle.
While up and down hills, there is a problem with acceleration. My RPM's will shoot up very high, but can not accelerate. This has happened to me 3 times now, and one time was very dangerous. I was coming off the interstate (downhill) and went to cross onto the highway, I was then almost hit (with my 2 year old in the car) because my car would not accelerate. I made it across, turned my car off then on and it seemed fine after that. In a situation where there would have been plenty of time to cross, I was almost hit. That was about 2 months ago, but just this morning I was going up a very small hill (interstate ramps are steeper than the one this happened on), my SUV just wouldn't accelerate. Again, I had to pull over and turn my SUV off and then back on for it to work again.
2014 Rogue while driving on the freeway we lost all power in an instant. This is not safe without warning.it is a known problem with the cvt transmissions, there have been recalls by Nissan for this problem on earlier models, but this seems to be a problem with the 2014 models as well.as others have mentioned, these transmissions are a known issue in Nissan and in most cases, you will not have an issue until you are out of your warranty. Nissan has issued an extended warranty (110,000 miles) on all models through 2010, but nothing on the 2014 Rogue. My car was at 93,000 and 2 years old, so now I am stuck for close to $4500 to get it repaired.
Passenger air bag light stays on even if a person is in the passenger seat. Was told there was not a recall on this. Transmission would not shift out of first gear, had to pull over, turn ignition off what a few min. Then turn car back on. Transmission shifted after that. Toke car in for recall.
Wife coming home after dropping daughter off from school, car felt jerky and unstable, pulled into the driveway and engine died. I then started vehicle, shifted into reverse, vehicle died. Tried again and it started, but had lots of hesitation, took to dealership, they had it for 3 working days and could not duplicate the error and no error code, so they sent the vehicle back to us. Next day wife went to pick up daughter from school and while pulling out of the school parking lot, car died and they were almost struck by another vehicle who was traveling at higher speed. Could start the car, but could not shift into any gear without car dying. Once again, no trouble/error codes were being fired off. Took car to dealership where again they tried for 2 days to get the car to act up, until finally it acted up on the freeway where it almost died there. They diagnosed the issue as a faulty torque converter, which requires a full transmission replacement. The vehicle only is 3 years old, with only 75,000 miles on it. This is a safety issue, the car cuts out with little warning at low speeds, meaning especially dangerous when trying to make turns and accelerate into traffic. Additionally, no error codes were thrown at all, and took 6 working days at a dealership to determine the issue. Furthermore, it is sporadic and cannot be diagnosed easily or quickly, suggesting that there is a high potential for this issue to occur with other vehicles and they will be sent back out on the road without having the issue fix, placing people in significant danger. This is the first year of the redesign of the Rogue and one of the first sold in Texas, but this is unacceptable and extremely dangerous as there is no way to easily diagnose the issue and how the failure occurs. All recommended services were performed at Nissan dealerships for the transmission as well at 30K and 60K.
Passenger air bag is not reading adults. Dealership has fixed once, was involved in accident, did enough damage to damage radiator, and airbags did not go off. I had a 14 year old in the front seat. My passenger air bag is once again not reading. This was my most recent incident with my vehicle. I was making a left hand turn, when accelerating my vehicle seemed hesitant and momentarily stalled withing my turn. This has happened numerous times, while trying to accelerate. My car had been warm during each time. My transmission has already started slipping, I was notified there was a recall on my vehicle for the transmission. My back seats seem to vibrate. They vibrate so much, they move side to side at high speeds on the highway. (70 mph) this is the legal speed in my area. I feel my vehicle is a lemon with all the recalls that have been fixed ion it already and is not safe. My total millage is about 63000.
We have had issues on two occasions with the car dying while in motion. The 1st instance my wife and kids were in the car, when my wife had made a turn onto a main highway, and the vehicle shut off. She called me to take a look at it. I made several attempts to get the car going. It would start, but once I put the car in gear it would shut off. At this point we had it towed to the dealership. They could not replicate it and had us pick it up. A few months later we were in town shopping and the car died twice trying to back out of a parking space. I managed to get the car going again, only to have it shut off again while stopped at a red light. I got the car started and made it back home, but it kept shuddering during acceleration. It was also making funny noises. I took it to the dealership the following Monday morning and showed the tech what it was doing. The dealership is aware of the problem, but I have yet to hear from them about a fix. The sudden loss of power and engine shutting off is very dangerous. Luckily we were not on the interstate or major highway.
2014 Nissan Rogue sv 61,868 miles with recurring acceleration issues. Started about one year ago wife called and said that vehicle was making loud revving sound but not moving or barely moving while stepping on gas. She stated car was stalling out at intersection or while in moving traffic. Not turning off but not moving while stepping on gas. She park car at work and drove home with no problem. Several months ago same thing no or poor acceleration while stepping on gas while at intersections or in moving traffic. I picked it up from work and drive home with no problem. This has occurred on several addition days but not has bad. Vehicle shakes and makes revving noises while driving. Fast forward to today wife calls says she is stuck on highway. Stated that vehicle had no acceleration and she was barley able to get it into emergency lane before it wouldn't move at all. Chassis control system error message appeared on dash display along with other lights like engine light. Vehicle was towed to Nissan dealer for inspection. Beginning to think I purchased a piece of junk. After reading several post regarding similar issue and no resolve from Nissan I am a little worried. Not only is this a dangerous safety issue but will probably be a huge expense to correct if Nissan does not help out. Vehicle is just above 60,000 powertrain warranty. Luckily I have geico mechanical breakdown insurance. Will just wait and see what happens.
I have only had the rouge select for barely two years. Four times I have had a power loss as I am driving up canyons and any steep terrain. If for any reason you slow down and re-accelerate the car does not pick up speed. There are times when we are just accelerating and loose power. The vehicle has had a loss of power between 55 and 70 miles an hour, highway speeds are 50-70+. this has happened to us a few times putting my family and I, in danger of being rear ended at highway speeds. The loss of power happening in the vehicle, four times in the last week as we traveled from Utah up parleys canyon, we had a loss of speed twice in this canyon. Once at half-way in heavy traffic and again near the crest of the mountain in very heavy traffic almost being rear-ended by a semi. Again the very same day two more times as we passed through heavy traffic in Wyoming and again as we passed back through Utah in the flaming gorge area. All areas with steep terrain. This is extremely unsafe and as I read all these complaints this is a serious matter. For a new vehicle with barely 30,000 miles on it, this should not be happening and is a serious defect. This is ridiculous for a brand new vehicle to have this happening. I just hope it doesn't take a loss of life before this is recalled and fixed for good.
For the third time my Nissan Rogue 2014 failed to accelerate as the cvt transmission slipped and would not re engage. To make matters worse I was stuck on a mountain on a 95 degree day with no cell phone service. The vehicle has 28,000 miles currently. This first time is happened it had 9,000 miles. There is a lawsuit for 2013-14 pathfinders but the Rogues should be included in a recall for vehicles unfit for operation. It is a safety hazard to have a vehicle traveling at 70mph lose acceleration capabilities and stop moving forward. I was almost rear ended and drove off of the road. I've filed a complaint with the BBB as well as the corporation and requested to be able to return the vehicle with no further costs. This request was denied so I am forced to own a vehicle that is unsafe and the company refuses to take responsibility for. There were no fatalities this time but I can't say the same for my next drive to the store. Many people have filed complaints on these models and nothing is being done to ensure safety.
Nissan is covering-up a very serious and on-going problem with its cvt transmission. I bought a 2014 Nissan Rogue new in May 2014. The vehicle now has 70,700 miles on it. After only 24 months, the cvt transmission failed and, according to the local Nissan dealerships, I need a new transmission at a cost of $4,000. The Nissan dealership implied (but would not state directly) that there is a problem with Nissan's cvt transmission which has been on-going for 10+ years. However, my car is out of warranty and I must pay for the new transmission. The transmission should not fail after 24 months. Nissan should address the systemic problem with its cvt transmissions and extend its warranty for cvt transmissions as it did in 2010 for Nissan vehicles in model years 2003 to 2010.
I was driving the vehicle at 45 mph, when the stirring wheel and breaks locked and the vehicle came to a complete stop in the middle of rush during large amounts of traffic. The vehicle's windows would not go down and the vehicle would not start back up. When the I tried to start it back up the engine would shake erratically and make a loud noise. The vehicle had power but you couldn't lock it, or roll any windows or turn off the hazard lights.
