my vehicle stopped accelerating in traffic. It will shift into neutral, or it may appear to be in gear while the RPMs climb but there is no forward motion. this has happened multiple times at slow speeds. during the most recent incident, the check engine light came on and the code was something about a transmission solenoid being stuck

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.

Was driving down the interstate going 80 mph. All of a sudden the car starting stopping. It wouldn't accelerate but the engine was still revving. Was able to get it pulled to the side of the road. It calmed down, then got back on the road. That was the second time, the first time happen in town while going about 30 mph. At that time I didn't think much about it. Due to it completely stopping it could have caused us to have a crash. I took it to the dealership the next day and they told me there were no recalls for my vin, that only thing they could do was schedule an appointment to have it looked over. Only warning we got was when it happened, the dash flashed and it went to a stop. Nothing before hand.

The windshield wiper recoil off has s leak and it drips into the blower for the heater and freezes. When this happens, the heater does not work at all. This causes visibility issues as the defrost/heater will stop working while you’re driving
Power train, Feb 6, 2022
When I drive the 2017 Nissan Rogue the acceleration is very slow and no responsive. It's dangerous as I cannot even maintain speed of normal speed limits. I have had fuel injection service and oil change but it made no difference. There are times you could floor the pedal but there is incredible hesitation and knocks.

2017 Nissan Rogue has 118k miles and never had a lick of problem, till this morning when the CVT failed. The dealership to where I purchased the used Rogue, stated that the transmission is the stated problem when plugged to the computer system. No specifics and now the cost to repair is $4,900.00. From what I have read, Nissan is aware of the CVT issues, so why not provide a recall to fix or mitigate the damage to the customers. Why hasn't Nissan addressed this issue instead of sweeping it under the carpet.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 60 MPH, the vehicle had unintendedly accelerated and then inadvertently decelerated. The vehicle was taken to three independent mechanics and diagnosed with mass air flow sensor failure. The mass air flow sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer. The dealer performed an oil change, a brake fluid change, and cleaned the throttle body. The dealer informed the contact to add a fuel injector cleaner to the vehicle twice a year. However, the failure recurred. The contact took the vehicle to Cherry Hill Nissan (2325 NJ-38, Cherry Hill, NJ 08002) and had another oil change and windshield wiper replacement. Cherry Hill Nissan informed the contact that the failure was related to a towel the contact had placed near the driver's side floor mat, which jammed the accelerator pedal. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
Steering, Dec 22, 2021
The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel was making a squeaking sound. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a local dealer. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,414.
Electrical system, Structure, Dec 14, 2021
The trunk lift gate opens then closes. The safety feature in which it will open if it is close to coming into contact with an object does not work. Sometimes the malfunction is delayed and if an individual is reaching into the trunk , it will come down on their head and possibly close them between the liftgate and the trunk. The trunk was inspected by a Nissan service parts place and they said it coded for needing new spindles which is a $1300 part that is on national back order without an eta. This presents safety issue because it can cause head injury and possible body injury if a smaller sized individual gets closed between the liftgate and the trunk.

THe transmission on my 2017 Rogue went out in the matter of minutes with no warning and has under $59,000 miles on it. It is not covered under warranty because it is a canadian vehicle.
Service brakes, Forward collision avoidance, Dec 6, 2021
I was driving 5mph at a drive through Xmas light display. While slowly driving through the display, the vehicle suddenly lunged forward followed by the emergency braking system engaging. Which brought the car to a sudden stop in front of the cars following behind us. I turned the car off then back on. Several lights on the dash remained on after restarting the car. I took it into the Nissan dealership in Rockwall, TX. They told me the ABS control module failed and needed to be replaced. Based on what I was doing at the time of the incident, this sudden failure could have resulted in a potential accident. The dealership also told me this is a know issue on other Nissan's and has been known to cause the vehicles to catch on fire.
