To whom it may concern, My 2017 Nissan Rogue's CVT transmission went out. I was driving home on March 11, 2022 and I turned right safely into an intersection when the oncoming traffic had a green light and my vehicle stopped accelerating. We could have been hit by incoming traffic because of this. It was not until this happened that I found out that there was a class action lawsuit against Nissan due to this CVT problem. My vehicle was not displaying any warning signs, it just stopped accelerating. Nissan failed to notify their consumers about the ongoing issue with the CVT transmission on their vehicles to have the vehicle inspected prior to warranty being expired. I am a single mother, full time employee, and full time student. I purchased this vehicle in hopes of it being reliable. Instead, this malfunction, I was almost hit by incoming traffic because of the lack of communication with their consumers. Letting consumers know this late is ridiculous, considering most of the affected models are close to the end of their 5-year warranty period. I demand an answer from Nissan, I will not accept that they are not doing anything to help me cover the costs which have been estimated to be closer to $10,000 by a Nissan certified service department. Nissan failed to communicate this problem, my daughter and I's safety was compromised when driving this vehicle, what if this would have occurred while we were driving on the highway. I could have been hurt and so would my daughter. I contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs and they declined any sort of help.

I drive a 2017 Nissan Rogue that has just under 65K miles on it as of today. Without a prior indication of a problem from the car's warning system, I suddenly began losing transmission power and experiencing significant engine hesitation while driving yesterday, August 23, 2021. Specifically, the car would hesitate at least 3 seconds and sometimes as long as 8 seconds before engaging, thus putting me in great danger in traffic and on public roads. Additionally, the engine would begin revving up from 1 to 4+ rpms while simply trying to maintain a speed of 40 mph. This caused me to constantly have to remove my foot entirely from the accelerator, further putting me in harm's way while in traffic on both residential and highway roads. I lost control of my vehicle. I immediately proceeded home as carefully as I could manage, stored the vehicle overnight in the garage, and took it to the dealership first thing in the morning. To my great surprise and disappointment, the Nissan adviser informed me that the diagnostic codes received were P0776 and P1715, both of which were addressed in previous Nissan Service Bulletins in both 2018 and 2021. Furthermore, these codes indicate specific issues with the CVT - something that has plagued Nissan for years and continues to be the center of many lawsuits and causes for extended warranty programs. In fact, I experienced CVT transmission failure in a 2015 Nissan Rogue that I owned previous to this one. My sister also experienced the same safety hazard in her Nissan Rogue. This is an ongoing and hugely unsafe problem. Currently, my vehicle is at the dealership, awaiting response from Nissan Corporation as to whether they will replace/fix at no cost, considering the blatant CVT issues and the fact that my powertrain warranty expired less than 5k miles ago and that several other models with the exact same issue have been granted extended warranties, etc. This should be at no expense to me. I had my car inspected last month by Nissan!

My 2017 Nissan Rogue has been jerking, lurching, and there are times when the accelerator is depressed but the car does not accelerate at all It is extremely dangerous. Nissan has confirmed that the CVT has failed. This seems to be an ongoing issue with many of their vehicles and it doesn-??t not feel like adequate action is being taken to remedy this.

The transmission is faulty and when driving in the freeway or even the streets I would notice that the car starts to jerk back and forth. Secondly I believe it unsafe whenever turning at high speeds the car feels as if it can tip over. Within my first month of purchasing the car there was tons of engine problems.

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.

Driving on interstate about 10 mph. Car suddenly makes this loud noise and shuts off. It did restart and I didn't lose electrical as I was on blue tooth call but if happened when I was going faster this would have been a catastrophe!. this is the second time though. The first time I was in parking lot and I thought I did something as it was a new car. I was not touching anything but steering wheel and lightly touching brake as I was in traffic but there was quite some room between me and the car ahead.

A few times on a cool start in the morning it doesn't fully turn over. I wait a few seconds and turn key again then it turns over. A few time while backing up out of my work spot, the car 'jumps' like it is going to kill. As soon as I hit brake it revs back up and then I can go. Today I left work, then at a stop sign my car killed. I really didn't think much, until it killed. I will be calling service department tomorrow.

Rogue

  • 37,319 miles
​I was driving my 2017 Nissan Rogue on a routine trip from my home to my office. I was turning through a residential intersection when my car shut off without warning mid-acceleration. I would estimate I was going no more than 5-7mph as I accelerated from the stop sign into 25 mph. Because I was going up a slight incline, I was able to put it into neutral and coast backwards out of the intersection. I contacted aaa and waited for them to run their battery tests. After ruling out battery issues, I had it towed to a local mechanic who encouraged me to take it to Nissan due to a computer malfunction. The mechanic informed that what happened should never happen. Nissan put it through their own tests to determine what exactly happened with the computer. They later found that a ​​wire had been rubbing against a bolt. The wire was the wire that connects the computer to the engine. As explained to me: The wires of the car are all bundled together and inside of a "protective" tube. The tube was rubbing against the bolt, then opened up, exposing the wires. The wire that happened to be the one that continued to be in contact with the bolt was the wire that then shorted the computer and turned the engine off. They ensured me that there was nothing that I did that caused this but they were unsure why the wires/tube was in the location that it was. It was a little over 1,000 miles outside of the warranty (my car had 37,300 miles on it) and refused to do anything about it. ​I attempted contact with Nissan North America multiple times, the first woman eventually told me there was nothing they could do as it was out of warranty. When I asked to speak to her supervisor, she never returned my calls.
