1. my forward collision warning goes in and out of service several times per month. 2. the cvt quit working at 78,000 miles. I was driving on I-70 between denver, co and the eisenhower tunnel when suddenly the rpms kicked up and the speed dropped. I don't know what gear I was in but I could only drive 40 mph at 3500 -4500 rpms. There was a burning smell as well. The transmission seemed to reset when vehicle was turned off and then restarted and seemed to function properly. However, when taken for a test drive, the burning smell occurred again when climbing a hill and seemed to dissipate when traveling down hill and transmission is not functioning properly.
I recently got my vehicle less than 2 months ago and my car has been jerking, stalling when I try to accelerate and making a sound as if it's trying to accelerate but it's not connecting
While traveling down the road my car suddenly stopped going over 3,000 rpms which in turn made the car suddenly slow down to an excessively low rate of speed, during rush hour on a busy road. I was almost rear ended with my children in the back seat. I was able to eventually get the car off the road. The dealership advised that this is a common concern with Nissan and that it was something called a cvt transmission system that had failed suddenly while driving. I don't understand how this can be a common problem for someone to be driving and run the risk of wrecking because the car fails to keep moving properly.
When the vehicle is put in drive or reverse the whole vehicle shakes tremendously and is very, very noticeable while holding the brake. Also when I turn on the ac the whole vehicle shakes.

Rpms were moving up and dowm with vehicle sluggish happened about a week before April 20th was not sure if I could make it to nearest facility occurs more often in eco mode. Not responsive when accelator was depressed. Stalled engine at lights and loss of power on highway. Transmission failure requiring replacement
Bought vehicle new in 2017 and from day 1 the vehicle doesn't accelerate from a full stop. I step on the gas and there is at least a 2 second delay before the vehicle moves. Now, at 77,000 miles, the vehicle stops and jerks forward in stop and go traffic. Vehicle is a death trap
The cvt transmission in these vehicles are horrible and a huge safety hazard. The first time I noticed the violent shaking of my rear seats I was on the highways doing 50 mph the seats where empty and I assumed I needed a alignment although my tires where new. However it has only gotten worse even with my children who are both over 100lbs sitting in the car! between the violent shaking and jerking and also the hesitant when accelerating especially on a hill it's going to cause an accident possibly a fatality. I have reached out to Nissan to be told 'I'm sorry you are out of warranty'.
My Nissan Rogue has less than 60,000 miles and was bought brand new in 2017. The past couple of months the transmission has started to fail. It jerks and has trouble accelerating like if the gear is stuck. My check engine turned on and had a code P0776 its the powertrain control module failure. I was driving the car normal on the freeway and had to stop on the side of the road and turned the car off and waited for a couple of minutes and drove back home and it was better but the check engine was on.the next day it happened again still need to make an appointment to take to dealer but I dont drive it as much now until it get checked at the dealer. I have read about Nissan cvt transmission are defective from factory from some articles inhave read.
I bought my 2017 Nissan Rogue sv with 4 miles on it. On July 12, 2020 at 11:30 pm my car's transmission went out. I lost complete power on the busy kennedy expressway outside of Chicago while driving with 3 friends in the car. The car began to chug and the rpms were between 3 and 4. I was unable to accelerate and eventually the car slowed to a stop on the shoulder. If this had been rush hour, we could have been seriously hurt. Nissan says because my car is at 72,000 of my 60,000 warranty they will only pay for 50%. Nissan told me they recommended rebuilding the kit instead of replacing the whole transmission because it was more cost effective for them. I spoke with Nissan Consumer Affairs, who made me wait 4 days while they "escalated" it only to come back and say they only can approve 50% of the costs. I have done all necessary maintenance to vehicle and this is the only problem I have had. Too bad its a huge problem. If you google cvt you will see that the "experimental" transmission has failed in most Rogues leading up to and including the 2016. Nissan says there is no recall or extended warranty for the the 2017 (yet). This is unacceptable.
Stopped on 95 N to pay toll. When exiting toll booth, the car would not accelerate to normal highway speed causing cars to almost run into the back of the car. Was only able to travel a few miles before the car would not go anymore. There is power to the vehicle, but the engine won't engage. Had to have vehicle towed 40 miles to my destination. It is still not operational.
My 2017 Nissan Rogue is still under factory warrant and I purchased an extended warranty. On 9/30/2019 my Nissan Rogue was missing and stalling so I took it to my mechanic (alpine automotive Inc., 5495 w. Mississippi ave. Lakewood, co 80226. A diagnostic was run on this vehicle producing code P1715 input speed sensor primary speed PO776 oil press solenoid B. found service bulletin ntb16-11ol that indicated the vehicle needs a valve body and reprogram. Unfortunately this mechanic deleted the codes and this has hindered getting my transmission fixed under warranty because Nissan will not work on my vehicle until they get a code from their diagnostics. This is putting me in harms way because I operating this vehicle which is defective, stalls at stop lights and will not accelerate unless I floor board the accelerator. I have called Nissan headquarters and they will not return my phone calls, even though I have opened up a case with them. As this vehicle deteriorates, I am going to be in danger driving this vehicle. Can you please intervene and help. My complaint is not against alpine auto, but Nissan headquarters as they will not allow the repairs to the transmission because they cannot see the codes when they do a diagnostic. There is documentation that these codes indicate a repair is needed and Nissan is allowing me to drive a defective vehicle and putting me in harms way. I am attaching the invoice from alpine automotive Inc. Which clearly indicates the codes found. My vehicle is in my garage.
When driving between speeds of 30-45 mph the vehicle would shake, and the rpms were shifting erratically between 2000-4000 or more. The issue would correct when more speed was attained, but would return. When the accelerator was depressed, the vehicle would not respond immediately, however the rpms would increase drastically. When on the highway, using cruise control at 65 mph, the rpms would change drastically again. When the vehicle was in a full stop when exiting a highway the vehicle would not move when the accelerator was depressed to reenter traffic, the rpms immediately went above 6000 or more, and the vehicle shut off unexpectedly, with the check engine light illuminated. The vehicle was then placed in park, and ignition turned off, and turned back on again. The vehicle turned on without issue, no check engine light was on. Again, the vehicle did not respond immediately to the accelerator being depressed, but did begin to move. The vehicle is scheduled to be towed to the West herr Nissan in orchard park for repairs.
The Nissan has a severe vibration coming throughout the cabin at stoplights on city streets. The steering wheel vibrates, the passenger violently vibrates when no one is sitting in the seat, the hood shakes. This all happens while at idle, as the vehicle gets warmer the issues becomes worse, for example: The vibration is less noticeable the first 10 minutes the vehicle is on and operating, as the engine warms the issue gets worse. I have had the car inspected by both Nissan and a 3-rd party, with both saying the issue is visible, but there is no fix for this. This vibration is a safety hazard, it is shaking components of my vehicle that may become loose over time and not hold up if I were in an accident (I.e. the vibration on the passanger seat could cause bolts to become loose without me knowing, then when I step on the break the seat could come loose and cause injury. Also the hood latch can become loose and fly open while driving.) besides the safety issues this is adding excessive ware and tear on, Y vehicle and I don't feel safe.
When driving at a moderate speed then slowing down in traffic that is slow and stop and go, once I come to a complete stop and get ready to go again the car hesitates to take off. The engine sounds like a truck and does not go above 25mph with the gas pedal to the floor. The lights that appear on the dash is the safety crash and warning lights. I then have to pull over to the side turn the car off and turn it back on again for it to go back to normal. This happens 1-2 times a week. I afraid this going to cause a terrible accident. I have reported it to sheridan Nissan three times. They are saying nothing is wrong.
The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. While driving 40 mph and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle began to hesitate without warning. The contact pulled over and parked at a grocery store for ten minutes before driving home. A couple of days later, a warning message indicating that a front sensor was obstructed illuminated briefly. On September 24, 2019, while driving 42 mph, the vehicle stopped forcefully on two different occasions. The vehicle was taken to M'lady Nissan (located at 5656 northwest hwy, crystal lake, il 60014, (815) 459-2288), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 43,000.

Vehicle will not accelerate car hesitates and then will move but very sluggishly. Feels like it is not shifting gears. Light has illuminated suspect transmission concern. Problem seems to be off and on not a steady problem. It is the third time that I have had to bring the car in for the same problem
