The transmission would not go when the gas pedal was pressed. This happened at least 3 times since I-??ve owned this vehicle. I was making a left hand turn crossing traffic and the vehicle would not go with oncoming cross traffic. This last time was a close call and my son was in the front passenger seat. Problem can not be reproduced on demand. It randomly happens and throws no codes or check engine light. The vehicle has only been inspected by the dealership and independent shop. No warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to or after failure. After a few seconds of unresponsiveness the transmission will begin to work correctly again. By the time I get it to a shop nothing seems wrong with it.

While driving the vehicle it acts like it-??s reading the remote key, batteries have been changed in multiple occasions as well as keys have been swapped. It makes an action like for the car shutting off while driving. It constantly alerts that the key is not in the car, while the key is near the ignition button

After I paid for the Reset and pulled out of the CS garage my vehicle started jerking and grabbing. I took the CS representative in my vehicle and Jackie felt this. The issue could not be found. I took the auto back and now I received paperwork saying that the issue could not be duplicated. I took my vehicle then in October 3rd, 2023 with an appointment at 1p. The issue could not be found. I had 2 different times 2 techs ride in the parking lot. The car's drive shaft was taken out and another was placed in. Tech drove and the issue remained. My old drive shaft was returned to the vehicle. Next, my AWD coupler was unhooked. I didn't feel the issue. Then this was hooked back up. I was told around 4: 45p that day that the service tech was going to call me the next day, No invoice was received. Now I had a whirling/rubbing sound anytime the vehicle was moving along with the jerking. The CS rep never called me and I called a few days later. I was told the part wasn't cheap and it was the AWD coupler. The phone estimate for working on the vehicle with labor, and the part was 2500 and taxes. That was the verbal phone estimate. I took my cousin to Parkway on October 9th. We received a paper estimate. This is a similar problem to your NTB20-069. The exception is below 20 mph for the jerking, and turning the wheel for turns. Worse at very low speeds. Such as looking for a parking spot in a parking lot and right about ready to turn I get jerking and feel as if it bounces forward and backward as I was told AWD issues will feel like this. I was told the part will be ordered and I believe if it's similar to NTB20-069 there is a defect in the AWD. (the work/labor for 10/3/2023 and the replacement of the AWD coupler will be on the final bill) The other complaint form for another issue on 8/2/2023 is when it started AFTER receiving the invoice and starting to pull the vehicle out of the CS garage doors.

I was driving my 2017 rogué sport on the freeway and suddenly it began to jerk up and down speed and I tried to brake and the brake did not respond suddenly it accelerated and went off I could not brake and I could not control it and the weather did not help me it had rained And as you will understand, the car turns off and the brake doesn't work, we ended up in the retaining wall, we hit the front and reversed and we were stopped in the middle of the road. I tried to start the car twice and the third time it started and so on. I was able to get off the freeway at low speed and it kept pulling

*Updating earlier entry* Loss of speed while on cruise control, no forward movement while at a stop and no ability to reverse. Local mechanic confirmed transmission failure. Specific code "CVT Judder P17F0". Nissan customer service #1800-647-7261 refuses to acknowledge defect. Claims only transmissions manufactured within a certain area qualified for replacement. For the record, I have zero check engine lights and there were no warning signs of potential transmission issues.

Transmission failure. While driving on the expressway my speed (while set in cruise control) began to fluctuate. The RPMs dropping then rising and the car jerking. I exited the expressway and stopped for a red light. When the light turned green I accelerated but went no where, you could here the engine revving but there was no forward motion. The engine caught after a couple seconds and I immediately went to my local auto shop. They confirmed transmission failure. Cost of $5600 repair. No warning lights on dash, no prior car issues. Only 168,000 miles.

The entire time I have owned the car, there have been periods of time where I did not get sufficient power relative to how hard I was pressing the gas pedal. It did not happen with great frequency and the dealership didn't seem to think it was a concern when I brought it up to them. In the last few months the problem has become more pronounced, with me having to pull into the right lane instead of crossing an intersection because the vehicle did not respond with the appropriate amount of power and I would not have been able to safely clear the intersection with how little power was being transmitted.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue Sport. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 MPH, the engine suddenly started revving; however, the vehicle would no longer accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact was able to coast off the road and come to a complete stop. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the transmission had erroneously shifted to neutral. The vehicle was later taken to the local dealer who replaced the engine valves but the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was contacted and notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 23,500.

When I accelerated after being at a complete stop, my vehicle would not move at first. The RPMs shot up, but no movement. I was at a busy intersection and the situation was bothersome but there was no accident. I very slowly pressed the gas pedal again and the vehicle went forward. This is not the first time this has happened. Current mileage is 89,600. This type of problem began around 75,000 miles but has not been a weekly occurrence. This has not been confirmed by a dealer nor inspected. No warning lights came on. There has been hesitation in acceleration for about 2 months but I thought it was possibly bad fuel. There are times the RPMs will greatly increase without speed increasing.

For over a year, I've had trouble with one of the tires losing air every few days. I'm thinking that perhaps it is the valve stem, but I'm not a mechanic. The other day, though, I was accelerating on a mountain road moving about 45/50 mph and the car stopped accelerating. It was as if it was in neutral and could no longer move. I had to have it towed back to my house, about 5 miles away. It still will not move when I put it in gear. I tried several times while waiting for the tow truck and a few times it would go into gear, but moved very slowly. When it moved about 5 ft, it would again act as if it were in neutral. The last time I tried, the mil light up and has not gone off. I just went and tried it again and took a video so you could hear that it is now whining louder than normal and when I put it in drive, it actually jerked and started rolling backward. It looks like I can't upload the video, though. I added pictures of what is lit up in the panel.
