EITHER ON THE HIGHWAY, A CITY STREET, STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP MY CAR STARTED TO JUMP, SHUDDER/SHAKE, STALL, AND VIBRATE, WHICH HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. THERE WILL BE TIMES WHERE I AM PUT IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS I CANNOT CONTROL THE CARS ACCELERATION AND IT WILL SPEED UP VERY RAPIDLY OR NOT ALLOW ME TO SPEED UP AT ALL. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE NISSAN ROUGE DEALERSHIP NEAREST TO ME ON 8/20/2020 AND I WILL KEEP THE INFORMATION FROM THIS APPOINTMENT IN MY RECORDS.
Power train, Other or unspecified, Engine, Aug 10, 2020
I PURCHASE A 2016 NISSAN ROGUE ON JULY 27,2019. ON AUGUST 20 I TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND STATED THAT THE CAR HAVE VIBRATION, CLICK SOUND , THE HOOD WAS LIKE IT WAS GOING POP UP IF I WENT MORE THAN 65MPH AND WAS LIKE YOU HAD GIVE A LOT GAS FOR IT TO GO. THE SAY THEY CHECK OUT AND NOTHING WAS WRONG. ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING DOWN AND HAD TO PUSH PETAL ALL WAY DOWN AND THE CAR WAS STILL ONLY GOING ABOUT 20 MPH BUT THE RPM WAS AT LIKE 5. WAS SACRED FEELING TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY NOTHING WAS WRONG. THEN ON JAN 1,2020 COMING DOWN 95 SOUTHBOUND AND MY WHOLE DASH BORED LIGHTS CAME ON . I BELIEVE IT WAS EVERY SINGLE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. WAS TOLD THAT MY ABS WAS BAD AND IT WAS GOING COST AROUND 3800 TO BE REPLACED. MY CAR STAYED AT NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR OVER 2 MONTHS. ONCE I RECEIVE MY CAR BACK STILL COMPLAIN ABOUT THE VIBRATION AND HOOD. AGAIN WAS TOLD SINCE IT'S NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THERE'S NO PROBLEM. ON JULY 17 MY CHECK ENGINE CAME ON AND MY RPM WAS GOING UP TO LIKE 5. DROP MY CAR TO NISSAN TO HAVE LIGHT CHECK OUT WAS TOLD THAT THERE'S WASN'T A LIGHT ON ONCE THEY PULL MY CAR IN SHOP. AGAIN NO ANSWER. ON AUGUST 8 MY CAR WAS LIKE I HAD PUSH PEDAL ALL WAY AND IT WAS GOING LIKE 25 MPH AND RPM WAS AT 4 BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK MY CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION. NOW THAT MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED JUST THE END OF JULY 2020 I CAN RECEIVE A DIAGNOSTIC IF PROBLEM. BUT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS THINGS THE WHOLE YEAR I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE. I SEE THAT THERE ARE KNOW PROBLEM WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS IN ROGUE. I SEE WHERE THE WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED FOR CVT TRANSMISSION SO WHY THAT DOESN'T APPLY TO MY VEHICLE?
Power train, Aug 6, 2020
2016 NISSAN ROGUE, 84, 000 MILES. VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE SHIFTING GEARS WHILE DRIVING IT. SHUDDERING AND JERKING. RPM'S FLUCTUATING ALL OVER THE TACH. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOL IT TO MY MECHANIC TO PULL THE CODES, WHICH THEY DID, AND THEY REFERRED ME TO THE DEALERSHIP. ON MY WAY HOME, DURING WHICH THE VEHICLE COULD GO NO MORE THAN 25 MILES AN HOUR, IT COMPLETELY LOST POWER ON A SMALL INCLINE. REVERSE AND DRIVE DID NOT WORK. I HAD TO HAVE SOMEONE PUSH THE CAR BACK OUT OF THE INTERSECTION IT WAS STUCK IN. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. PROBLEM IS THE CVT TRANSMISSION.
Power train, Aug 1, 2020
TRANSMISSION FAILED. DRIVING ON FREEWAY AND THE CAR LOST TOTAL POWER. RPM REV HIGH NO POWER. COASTED TO A STOP. TRIED TO SHIFT IN DIFFERENT GEARS AND DOES NOT RESPOND. CAR WILL NOT DRIVE MORE THAN 15 MILES PER HOURS AND THE TRANSMISSION IS THING TO SHIFT TO DIFFERENT GEARS.
Power train, Jul 27, 2020
DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS JERK, STALL, SHUDDER, HESITATE, AND EVEN SUFFER FROM PREMATURE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. UNEXPECTED SURGE OF POWER FROM THE ENGINE. I CARRIED IT IN THE NISSAN CROSSROADS WAKE FOREST NC. THEY TOLD ME CVT UNIT NEEDS REPLACING. THE VEHICLE LEFT ME STRANDED ON INTERSTATE 40 DRIVING BACK FROM MORRISVILLE NC FROM WORK. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES I FINALLY GOT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT 11PM LEAVING ME STALLED AGAIN . I COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 92,612 MILES. NISSAN WON'T TAKE ANY INTEREST IN PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE HAD LAWSUITS ALONG WITH MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION. I'M A SINGLE MOM WORKING DURING THIS COVID VIRUS TO SHIPPER MYSELF AND MY CHILD WITH NO OTHER INCOME. THIS VEHICLE IS TOO NEW TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. I HAVE TO DRIVE AN HOUR TO WORK AND AN HOUR BACK. I NEED A VEHICLE ASAP . I'M STILL LOCK IN PAYMENTS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND CANNOT AFFORD TO TRADE WITH THIS VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONING.

PREMATURE FAILURE OF CVT TRANSMISSION OTHER ROUGE COVERED TO 120,000 MILES
Power train, Jul 6, 2020
CAR BEGAN LOSING POWER WHEN ACCELERATING AND SHUTTERING BEFORE FINALLY CATCHING GEAR AND MOVING. CAR WOULD ALSO EXHIBIT A "WHINING OR WHIRLING" NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING. EVENTUALLY THE CAR BEGAN VIBRATING FROM THE BACK END AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. TOOK CAR TO ABC NISSAN IN PHOENIX AND THEY DIAGNOSED WITH FAILING REAR DIFFERENTIAL. WAS ADVISED TO CONTACT NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE AS CAR WAS 4 YEARS OLD AND 70,000 MILES. CUSTOMER CARE DRAGGED OUT A "NOTHING WE CAN DO FOR YOU" RESPONSE" FOR NEARLY 1 MONTH. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHEN TURNING INTO TRAFFIC AS INTERMITTENTLY, THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN MAKING A TURN.I AM WORRIED NOW THAT THE NOTORIOUS CVT TRANSMISSION WILL GO OUT NEXT.
Power train, Jul 3, 2020
TOOK CAR IN TO DEALER DUE TO NOISE, CORPORATE INVESTIGATOR NEEDED TO COME IN TO REVIEW, AND REPLACED TRANSFER CASE. UPON PICKING CAR UP, NOISE STILL THERE AND UPON FURTHER INSPECTION CVT TRANMISSION ASSEMBLY REPLACED. UPON PICKING UP THIRD TIME, GRINDING NOISE EASILY HEARS WHEN ACCELERATING. ALL ISSUES OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING, AND LUCKILY TRANSMISSION DID NOT FAIL. CONCERN NOT ONLY ABOUT TRANSMISSION ISSUE PREVALENT IN OTHER NISSAN MODELS INCLUDING OLDER ROGUES, BUT DEALER CONTINUING TO RETURN VEHICLE WHEN EASILY DISCERNIBLE TO NON-MECHANIC THAT ISSUES HAVE NOT BEEN CORRECTED.
Power train, Other or unspecified, Fuel/propulsion system, Jun 22, 2020

AT ABOUT 58000 MILES SEPT 2019 I FIRST NOTICED ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION AND NOISE. I WAS ABOUT TO GO OUT OF TOWN AND WAS AFRAID TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK MY CAR TO NISSAN OF BOWIE. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THERE WERE NO CODES ACTIVATED AND NO RECALLS ON THE CAR. HE GAVE ME A LIST OF OTHER CONCERNS FOR MY CAR (BRAKES, ROTORS, AND TIRES). I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND DID NOT DRIVE OUT OF TOWN AS PLANNED. MY HUSBAND REPLACED MY ROTORS, BRAKES, AND TIRES. STILL THE CAR WAS SHAKY. NEXT TRIP OUT OF TOWN WAS IN MAY 2020. MY CAR STALLED OUT WHILE WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY TO VISIT MY FAMILY IN KENTUCKY. WE WERE AN HOUR AWAY FROM OUR HOTEL AND DROVE EXTREMELY SLOW. NO DEALERSHIPS WERE OPEN ON SUNDAY. WE TOOK MY CAR TO COYLE NISSAN IN SOUTHERN INDIANA. THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THEY EXPLAINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY TRASHED AND OUT OF WARRANTY. I TRIED TO SEE IF MY INSURANCE COMPANY WOULD COVER IT. A SERVICE TECHNICIAN AT THIS LOCATION TOLD MY INSURANCE COMPANY THERE IS NOTHING I COULD HAVE DONE TO DAMAGE THE TRANSMISSION. IT GOES OUT ON ITS OWN. THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS. I CALLED THE NISSAN WARRANTY PEOPLE TO GET SUPPORT. THEY AGREED TO PAY PARTS AND NOT LABOR. WHILE I WAS STRANDED OUT OF TOWN AND STUCK IN A HOTEL, I HAD TO PAY 2000 DOLLARS FOR LABOR TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD AND RETURN TO MARYLAND. I FILED A BBB AUTOLINE COMPLAINT AND THEY SAID THEY ONLY HELP WITH CARS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD. MY SECOND TRANSMISSION WAS PUT IN ON MAY 14TH AND WENT OUT LESS THAN TWO WEEKS LATER ON MAY 27TH. I NOTICED ISSUES THIS TIME AS SOON AS WE HEADED TO MARYLAND. IT STALLED OUT COMPLETELY WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE. I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR AND AM ON A THIRD TRANSMISSION. THERE WAS A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR THE EXACT TRANSMISSION IN 2019 ON OTHER MODELS. *TR

BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR OUR 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TO DRIVE. IT HAS 16,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS STARTED SHUTTERING AND LURCHING UPON ACCELERATION. AT ONE POINT SHE WAS DRIVING IT ON A BUSY FOUR LANE HIGHWAY AND IT STARTED LURCHING AND THE CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE. MY HUSBAND WENT TO PICK IT UP AND IT DID IT AS HE WAS LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP. HE IMMEDIATELY TURNED AROUND AND LEFT THE VEHICLE AGAIN. THEY ARE SAYING THAT IT MAY BE THE BELT INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION.
