As I was driving, steadily pressing on my gas, and I felt the car stopping. The car sounded like it was in neutral and I was pressing on the gas but it didn’t make a difference. I pulled over put it in park, then drive again. The problem persisted. I turned off the car and then it drove regularly. This has occurred 2 times already. I use premium gasoline and get oil changes regularly. This seems like a transmission problem. I’m very scared this might happen when I’m on a highway.

EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE MY 2017 NISSAN ROGUE, it acts up at the worst times when I'm trying to cross a busy street with oncoming traffic, sometimes very high speed, I cannot get sufficient acceleration!! I HAVE COME SO CLOSE TO GETTING HIT THAT NOW I AM CONVINCED, IN A MATTER OF "WHEN", THAT I WILL BE HIT!! I am aware that You and Nissan are aware of the CVT being a problem that no one wants to take responsibility for. I'm keeping this report so "when I get hit" a lawsuit will be forthcoming. (Even if I die) I've instructed family to sue if I parish.

-engine light was on and nissan ran a diagnostic and found the code number p0603 and needs a new ECM -this could cause an accident as the driver can loose control of vehicle at any moment causing the driver and others at high risk -the problem was confirmed by the dealer service center -the engine light was the only indicator and other private car auto body stated the battery needed replacement but nissan ran a diagnostic to find it was the ECM.

When driving the vehicle on the highway, it suddenly felt like it is decelerating (slowing down ready to stall or completely stop). This all happened suddenly. It continued to move forward, but there was a large "malfunction" sign that showed up in the middle of the dash screen. It was extremely dangerous, as I was driving my 1.5 year old grandchild home from daycare. After having the vehicle connected to a auto diagnostic machine, the codes that came up were part of a known Nissan issue (Service Bulletin: NTB18-077, APPLIED TRANSMISSION: CVT (RE0F10D)).

When I am at a complete stop and I press on the accelerator, the car will lurch forward very slowly. This has happened many times while driving in heavy traffic and it is very unsafe.

As we are on our way driving to work, there was weird sounds coming out of the engine, we had no check engine lights turn on an advance to give us a warning. After those weird noises , we pressed on the gas the car would not move, that’s when the engine light came on and the car turned off, there was smoke coming out of the front it smelt like something was burning, we moved out of the car fast. We tried turning the car back on but it would not turn on.

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.

Letter in the mail citing class action lawsuit VS Nissan regarding transmission issues - having same issues, car unable to start, causes battery to die.
Power train, Vehicle speed control, Engine, Aug 24, 2021
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.

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. *TR

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.
