Car stalled and Shuddering while driving on the freeway, sudden loss of power. Engine started to heat and smoke. Issue was probably the defective CVT transmission as noted in most Nissan.
My wife and I were returning from a Thanksgiving trip to relatives in Virginia southbound on I 95 She was driving and we both felt the car shudder as we began to lose speed. There was no acceleration even though the Tachometer was in a high range. We limped into a Rest Area, shut down the car and called a tow service. We were towed to Deacon Jones Nissan in Golsboro, N.C. where we were told we needed a new transmission. The Service Manager told us this CVT transmission is supposed to be serviced every 30 K miles.We were at 87734. There was never a dashboard warning light to that effect nor any notice from Nissan. Our expenses were: Transmission=$6619.34; Towing=$155; 2 nights at hotel=$201.38
I was driving in 90?F weather for over an hour on the freeway, and it felt like my car's power cut out. This caused my vehicle to decelerate to 40mph while on a busy freeway, leading me to fear for my and others' safety. I turned the car off, waited for 15 minutes at the exit, and began moving again, only for the same issue to occur again. This time I stayed longer and decided not to push the car past 3k RPM, and made it home. The issue occurred once several months ago, and now it has happened twice on the same trip. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms before the power was cut off. I took the car to an independent service center, and they could not diagnose the problem.
I was driving at approximately 25mph in a subdivision and my car turned off. I pulled over immediately to try to crank it but it would not crank. I noticed smoke coming from the engine so I exited the vehicle with my child. The smoke got way worse within a few minutes and then the front engine was engulfed in flames.
I first started noticing this transmission acceleration problem about a year ago when my vehicle has been in stop-and-go traffic for at least 30 minutes or more, the transmission feels like it is going to stall. Pressing on the gas won-??t accelerate the vehicle or it is very slow to start moving no matter how hard the gas pedal is pressed. The rpm speeds to 4-5 x1000 but the transmission gear feels stuck at 40mph max. Usually I have noticed that if I am able to pull over and stop the car for a few minutes, I can restart the car engine and didn-??t-??t see signs of the problem again. My husband believes it-??s a transmission and gear shift problem that once the Rogue has been in stop-and-go traffic the system isn-??t shifting gears correctly. It put myself and my husband at risk since we took the vehicle on a road trip, my husband finally witnessed this happening. It usually only happened to me when I-??m coming home sitting in traffic. When I got off the freeway to surface streets, being stuck at stoplights or stop signs had this issue occur a couple of times. I took my vehicle to my local Nissan dealer for inspection but the tech. said they couldn-??t mimic/reproduce the problem/issue I was reporting. No other inspection has been made. And no warning lights came on during the problem the few times it has happened. The engine was really loud this most recent time because I was unable to stop and pullover right away. I am open to having my vehicle inspected further for this issue.

I own a 2015 Nissan Rogue Select S. I purchased the vehicle with 35,000 miles on it in 2016, a year and 1 month after it was first manufactured. From the day I drove it off the lot, I noticed an issue, where if my car was in gear, and stopped in traffic or at a light, with the A/C running, the RPMs would drop significantly and cause a judder, then the RPMs would return. After a few months of this, I took it back to the dealership I purchased the vehicle from, and was advised that they could not replicate what I was talking about and there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. It's been 7 years since then. While stopped at a light at the bottom of an offramp after driving down the freeway, with my 2 VERY young children in their car seats, vehicle failed to accelerate with the equivalent pressure placed on the accelerator. This caused the vehicle to "roll" through the intersection and having the green light change while I was still halfway through the intersection. When the oncoming traffic got their green a few were not paying close attention and I was nearly t-boned. This happened twice in the span of maybe a month and a half. No indication of failure. No lights on the dashboard, indicating an issue. Took it to a different Nissan dealership and had a diagnostic run, was advised it needs a new transmission and the code that came up was P1740. Vehicle has less than 81,000 miles on it. Unfortunately, per Nissan Consumer Affairs, my vehicle is "out of warranty" even with the extension that was just granted in June of 2022, my vehicles extended warranty under the class action was extended to Jan of 2022, but I was never made aware of the class action, nor given the opportunity to opt out of said action. Vehicle is still not repaired. Myself and kids are safe, but they both have a bit of PTSD from both incidents occurring. I'm lucky I can even get them to voluntarily get back into a car. let alone my car. I wish I never purchased it. It could have killed us more than once.
Leaving Walgreens & my car won-??t start (I just bought a new battery a month ago). Called a friend for jump start & it took it awhile to start (5-10 minutes). While driving home my steering locked up twice & the stereo cut out a couple times. It also chugged a couple times like it was going to die. Once home and shut off - the doors won-??t lock.

2015 Nissan Rogue. Consumer writes in regards to illuminated engine light. The consumer stated the engine light illuminated. The dealer stated the transmission failed and that it was a common occurence.
October 2021 while driving at a 55 mph my stirring wheel felt hard to maneuver and a chasis control light/check engine light came on. I felt a resistance to steer and speed was reducing. I manage to pull over right away and turn off car it would not turn off until I continuously press my start button. After my car got towed it would not jump star no power at all A mechanics saw and diagnostic as an electrical issue possibly harness with a code U0100. I decided to take to Nissan dealer they diagnosed an IPM issue replaced for $1300. Took car drove fine for two months two months later while driving my chasis control light came up again my steering to the right was too hard so I pull to the left manage to park. Car turn off at first press on start button but it wouldn-??t jump start again. Replace the ipm Nissan said harness that holds has to be replace want to do it for $5k and not sure if it will fix issue. My car had no signs of issues ever before very scare to fix and drive now since it just suddenly doesn-??t let me control steering and dies right away with no warnings. Very dangerous for all road drivers. No current recall resolution till next month however I need a vehicle very inconvenient and dangerous for me.
My car vibrates while idling when either air conditioner or heat is on (but only when the car is idling; waiting for light to change and not when moving. When my car was under warranty I reported this to my Nissan service repair mechanic when car was under warranty and was told that was normal. I purchased a car in 2016 and now in 2022 it is still happening. Just need to make sure I-??m safe and that car won-??t blow up or something. Thank you.
I was driving on the highway with my one year old child and with no warning lights my transmission stopped working the rpms were going out of control and I couldn't drive the car. We were lucky to get out of that situation safely. I contacted Nissan about the transmission codes recall and asked if it would be covered they said yes. I went in with the vehicle and they told.me the transmission would need to be replaced. The car is in perfect condition and shouldn't have these issues. Specially with NO warning. Nissan has tip toed around this issue with me. I did my research and posted to social media to find out SO many more have had this exact issue in older and newer models and Nissan has refused to take responsibility for there faulty CVT transmission. They are still putting them in vehicles leaving it to the consumer to fix. These transmissions need to be recalled before more families are effected by this. I have been back and forth with corporate Nissan for a week now and they are telling me in order to SEE if I qualify for financial assistance Nissan will need to diagnose and fix the car and It is not guaranteed they will help with costs. Instead of fixing the problem they are making me jump through hoops. They KNOW about this issue as the complaints on the BBB are constant and consistent with my situation. Please take my incident into consideration and stop Nissan from producing death trap family vehicles.
As I was driving approximately 30 mph straight on a city street my car abruptly shut off completely while in drive. Radio stopped, no warning lights, all electrical seemed to die, power steering and power brakes seemed all to be gone. No dash lights are on. The car started up after trying 3 times without results. It happened once before in a similar situation that I wrote off as a fluke. Now I'm scared to drive it.

Without pressing the brake my car's shifter will go into low gear or another level. This has caused my car to stall out, and a dead battery. This happens when I am driving only.
It loses the "strength" when I'm at a stoplight or have my car on (but stationary), if I want to continue driving, I need to turn it off to re-start the system. I already sent it to a computer reading but nothing has come out. I don't know what the problem is.
Our 2015 Nissan Rogue had to have an intake manifold assembly basically the top of the engine due to the intake manifold assembly is made of plastic!!! who in their right mind would put plastic parts on the top of an engine"?" also, the blind spot detection camera which is placed in the front of the car by the Nissan symbol where it can be hit by a rock or a bug as I was told. Why would this camera not be protected from this being damaged so easily. The intake manifold assembly cost $1,071.48 to repair. It was going to cost $1,200 to repair the blind spot detection camera. We knew there was an issue with the engine due to the check engine light came on. I have invoices to show the cost of the replacement of the intake manifold assembly. We did not elect to have the blind spot detection camera fixed since it is in a non-protected area.
The Nissan Rogue 2013-2016 have a bad transmission issue on the cvt driving on the highway my car got stuck in gear and would not drive my sister also own a rouge same year 2015 her car transmission got her stuck in the middle of a city street
2015 Nissan rouge A/C is not blowing cold air. Purchased the car 7 months ago (in winter time). Now that the weather is hot and I need the cool air it has not been working I took it in and found that the A/C O rings at evap were leaking and had it replaced and recharged. Still having issues with it. It will not blow cold air at 60 degrees and if the A/C button is not pushed and left on the air coming through has a foul smell to it.
