Loss of acceleration while driving and upon attempting to engage acceleration after stopping. This has been occurring since the vehicle was purchased, used, from a dealership in Sept 2021.

The car is now rarely driven now, due to the issue and luckily avoided being hit recently when the issue occurred at a heavily trafficked intersection, Did some research online to find that the loss of acceleration is a very common occurrence with the 2016 Rogue. Nissan corporate was recently contacted and a claim was started, in the hopes for a permanent resolution.

3/13/2023, The last two times I drove the 2016 Nissan, the AWD Error was on the display. I-??m not sure what would cause this. I also noticed that the ABS indicator flashes for a while and then stays on when I first start the vehicle. As I look back, A few times I remember a hesitation after descending a steep street and making a sharp left turn onto an intersecting street. It felt as if there was no power even though the engine accelerated. Today the vehicle has 32,386 miles on the odometer. This vehicle sits idle most of the time in our driveway as it belongs to my son who is in the military overseas. I drive it on occasion to maintain the battery. I did replace the battery several months ago. This is the second battery replacement since it was purchased.
Vehical will lurch, stutter and sometimes nearly stall usually upon acceleration. Feels unsafe to drive. Our mechanic inspected the vehicle and found the CVT needs replaced ($5500 repair).

The check engine light was coming on and our mechanic assessed that the "transmission is slipping". He believed it was under warranty and told us to take it to the Nissan dealer. Nissan confirmed that the transmission/cvt needed replacement; however it was no longer under warranty. In Stringer v. Nissan North America, a settlement was reached in a class action lawsuit alleging that the CVT transmissions in Rogues from 2014 - 2018 were faulty. Nissan admitted no wrongdoing, but extended the warranty for replacement to 84,000 miles. My Nissan has 87,000 miles and both the local and National Nissan organizations refused to fix the problem. The problem with my car mirrors what the complaint in the class action lawsuit entails: there are severe delays when trying to accelerate and the engine revs. Both Nissan and our mechanic confirmed the problem. Both the local and national Nissan confirmed the issue with CVT, but said that our mileage made us ineligible. The problem did not start for us until last month when my car was already over 84,000 miles. I noticed the slow acceleration and revving noise in August, but my car had been inspected in July and our longtime mechanic found no issues. The engine malfunction light did not go on until Labor Day weekend 2022 when we had travelled out of state. I travel 54 miles, many of which are on the highway, each direction to work and I am extremely concerned for my safety. A new transmission will cost over $5,000 and I am incredulous that Nissan knows their transmission is faulty but is refusing to remedy the situation.
