The airbag light has been illuminated. Checked the wiring under the seats & is not loose. This issue has been recalled for other VINs but Nissan is neglecting to expand to all cars with the problem! This is a huge safety risk & needs to be recalled!

The vehicle was experiencing judder on two recent occasions. The vehicle was just over 90K miles and due for a CVT fluid inspection. After experiencing brief but violent jerks/judders while operating between 1,500 and 2,000 rpms, I took the vehicle into the Nissan dealership for said fluid inspection/change. The dealership declined to perform the requested service that day and instead recommended I 'Replace transmission and install transmission cooler' due to a "P0744" code read from the vehicle's ODB. The vehicle's tachometer would bounce when the vehicle was experiencing the issue. What's particularly concerning is that the vehicle has received the regularly suggested maintenance and shows no warning lights on the dash. I researched the P0744 code for the 2014 Rogue and found the NHTSA published service bulletin related to this problem. I'm quite concerned that the dealership didn't offer this investigation as a primary option. The steps detailed in this bulletin: [XXX] are surely less expensive than the transmission replacement recommended. It concerns me that Nissan is skipping prudent and more cost-effective diagnostic steps seemingly due to their tacit acknowledgement that these CVTs were poorly built- hence the extended powertrain warranty that was offered to settle the class action lawsuit. It appears that poor/self-serving advice continues to be given to Nissan customers rather than acknowledge the design flaws of the 2014-18 Nissan Rogue CVTs.

There has been an issue with CVT on this transmission for many years. My vehicle has had this happen 3 times now. When I’ve contacted my dealership they always tell me there’s no recall etc! When traveling on a highway in warm weather….the rpm goes way up and you can not accelerate. When you pull off and shut the vehicle off and start it again. It will work fine. I just read that Nissan had put a “governor “ on the transmission as a safety feature. And this was the suggestion to pull off and shut vehicle down for 10 minutes as this “resets” it! I was not made aware of this malfunction! When I called Nissan today the agent told me there was an extended warranty on my vehicle but it expired January 2022! There is ABSOLUTELY no warning this will happen. I was ahead of a truck in I-88 when all of a sudden my vehicle was slowing down and I was not able to accelerate and had to pull off on a unsafe part of the highway!

The CVT Transmission in my 2014 Nissan Rogue was replaced by Nissan in 2018 at 30K miles. Now 52K the CVT Transmission has malfunctioned once again. Nissan has a Class Action Lawsuit on this issue. Nissan is refusing to pay to have this CVT replaced even though they know it is a failed and potentially unsafe system. I am now passed the time limits of the original new warranty, but not passed the mileage limits. The vehicle can be available for inspection. The problem began a few months ago when the vehicle stalled (lost all power) at least three times on the freeway and/or side streets. The vehicle totally lost all power. I had to slowly drift to the side of the highway and then the vehicle restarted. On the side street the vehicle stalled, and I put the vehicle in park and then the vehicle started up again. A few weeks ago, the engine light came on which prompted me to take the vehicle to the Nissan dealer for inspection. They could not reproduce the issue but, told me I needed another CVT transmission due to Code P1740.

The Drivetrain has had multiple issues since purchasing this vehicle. I have had to have the axle boot covers replaced multiple times - without any reason to cause the boots to tear or mess up. In addition the axle has had to be replaced multiple times. This is a very costly repair and doesn't last very long before it has to be replaced again. We are safe drivers and have no logical reason for this to occur on it's own. There have been multiple problems with the transmission during this same time. I feel that a recall should be issued for this vehicle and would appreciate any help with this vehicle problem.

about 2 years ago (2021) both me and my wife's my nissan cvt transmission went out and needed repair. In my case the transmission overheated, losing power while driving 80mph almost leaving me and my family stranded on the highway while coming back from trip late at night. Took car to dealership where they diagnosed transmission had overheated. After contacting manufacturer Nissan they offered to repair the transmission. Now today [XXX] I took my car in again because the transmission seems to not switching gears as it should. To which After diagnostic and road tests the dealer advise I needed a new transmission which will cost at minimum $5000! This is the same dealership the transmission was supposedly "repaired" 2 years ago. After further research on my own I found out nissan vehicles has had a history of transmission issues with its cvt transmission. In both instances there could have been an accident. Why weren't nissan owners made aware of their faulty transmissions? Attached is a document I found while doing research showing they were aware of their transmission issues and chose not to make its customers aware. By paying out settlements. The document shows vehicles up to model year 2010. However me and my wife's vehicles was model year 2014. Bought the same time and had transmission issues around the same time! This is not a coincidence. Its a pattern. So I'm sure there are other later model years that may have same issues but Nissan is reluctant to admit that. Something needs to be done! Nissan needs to be held accountable for placing its customer's lives at risk. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I went to open the driver's side door after unlocking the car and the door handle came off in my hand. As a disabled veteran, I need to have constant access to opening my driver's side door without having to maneuver over the passenger seat or recline the seat back to try and open the door from the driver's side passenger door. My wife saw that other 2014 Nissan Rogues had a recall for the same reason. When I reached out to the dealer I purchased the car from, they said my car wasn't on the recall list and I would have to pay $300 for the part and $180 / hr. for labor to get it fixed. We have been in a heatwave this summer but when this happened, I was parked in the shade of a parking garage. There was no visible tampering around the handle indicating that someone was trying to break in. In addition to the driver's side door handle coming off, my wife noticed another recall related to 2014 Nissan Rogues that has happened with out car. The latch holding the hatch door on the rear of the vehicle has become loose and is easily moved. Though it has not separated from the base, there is the possibility of the latch coming undone and groceries or other items in the trunk area to fly out and cause accidents by drivers dodging items (groceries. school supplies, etc.) that tumble out of the car.

Sun visor mirror plastic retaining clips broke causing mirrors to dangle from wires. One of the wires broke and made contact with the other lead. This caused a short that melted the wires in the head liner and started a fire. The short did not trip a fuse and the only way to stop the short in the wire and resulting fire was to disconnect the car battery.
