What 519 owners told NHTSA about the 2015 Nissan Rogue Select

Own a 2015 Nissan rogue with 85k miles on it. Check engine light came on. Took to dealership. They performed diagnostics and gave the code P1740 and P0725. They told me the CVT transmission issue and needed to be replaced. Didn't have issues with the car up to this point and did all my service in Nissan dealer at the right time. Researched and saw that Nissan had issues with their CVT transmissions including the Rogue model and year I had. If there is an issue with the transmission why are they allowed to still sell it? A bad transmission can cause an accident when driving or in reverse. It's 5504 dollars to repair/replace and no guarantee that the transmission they put in will work properly either. Call Nissan and they say they can't help because it is out of warranty. Your agency really dropped the ball on this. This issue has been going on for 2 decades already. I would like to be reimbursed for it. I know that's not your agency's job but you should be much more diligent on these issues. Consumer lives are at risk not to mention the huge cost of repairing/replacing a transmission. Nissan is getting a free pass on selling defective vehicles to the public. There is a class action law suit for the same which Nissan is settling only for few car owners who falls in the same category as mine. Here is the link for the class action law suit. https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/lawsuit-news/nissan-class-action-lawsuit-and-settlement-news/nissan-inks-277m-deal-with-rogue-pathfinder-infiniti-qx60-drivers-to-end-transmission-class-action/ Nissan should help all people who are affected by their faulty CVT. Nissan cars should be banned till they fix the issue and the Government should take proper action to safe guard the life of consumers and the people whom the government is working for. I request the concern authorities to help the affected consumers, ban the Nissan malpractice and save the lives of American people.

Check engine light came on. Took to dealership. They performed diagnostics. Told me the transmission was failing and needed to be replaced. Also said that the catalytic converter was failing too and needed to be replaced also. Didn't have issues with the car up to this point. Researched and saw that Nissan had issues with their CVT transmissions including the Rogue model and year I had. This was the second time a transmission failed on a Nissan Rogue that I owned. If there is an issue with the transmission why are they allowed to still sell it? A bad transmission can cause an accident when driving or in reverse. Needless to say I was pretty much forced to sell this on a trade in for a new vehicle. It's thousands of dollars to repair/replace and no guarantee that the transmission they put in will work properly either. Your agency really dropped the ball on this. This issue has been going on for 2 decades already. I would like to be reimbursed for it. I know that's not your agency's job but you should be much more diligent on these issues. Consumer lives are at risk not to mention the huge cost of repairing/replacing a transmission. Nissan is getting a free pass on selling defective vehicles to the public.

Oct 9, 2021 had issues including loss of power, transmission jerking, transmission slipping while driving. Just returned from dealer for service on my 2015 Nissan Rogue with 55k miles saying it needs a new CVT and it's not covered under warranty. First occurred on Oct 9, the dealer applied the reprogram on Oct 12, but issue came back that night. Took it back today and the new code is the P0744 shudder saying replace CVT. CVT issue causes hazardous driving conditions as the vehicle jerks, loses power, then quickly accelerates, then lunges, etc.

Nissan issued a Recall Campaign Bulletin on this issue on September 23, 2020 (attached). This issue is caused by a failed electric controlled coupling that transmits driving force to the rear final drive. Under certain circumstances primary failure of this device can lead to secondary failures that can create dynamic instability and loss of traction. The Recall Campaign Bulletin only applies to a relatively small subset of vehicles that are vulnerable to this problem. Please see the repair estimate attached.

The Nissan Rogue would not accelerate past 40mph on the highway. It was also making a whining sound. The failure of the car to accelerate made it impossible to drive at the appropriate speed limit on the highway. We had to put on the emergency lights and we had our children in the back seat. We took the car in to our own mechanic, as well as to our local Nissan service center, and they both confirmed that it is an internal transmission problem. We are attaching the diagnostic reports to this message. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.

Vehicle has intermittent transmission problems. RPS's increase, speedometer increase however vehicle does not increase speed, then all of a sudden vehicle will increase at high rate of speed. This is dangerous and could severely injure someone. I have brought vehicle to dealership 3 times and each time dealership service department states the vehicle is not showing any error codes. Dealership will not investigate any further unless I pay out of pocket to maybe find an warranty covered issue.

I was driving down the tollway at night and alone when my car stopped accelerating but my RPM's went up to 5,000. I managed to pull over and shut it off . Tried again, it would not go. Tried 3 x and it finally went. I shut off the air and drive slowly so I could safely complete my trip. When I went to the Nissan dealer. They told me it was the transmission. That is is a know condition on this model. The service writer actually told me these keep them in business. Apparently the transmission cooler is too small and they overheat. They told want almost $6,000 to repair the vehicle that is probably not even worth that anymore. How can they not have a recall on a know defect? If you google it there are numerous service bulletins yet no recall for repair. I am so disappointed. In this difficult time of our lives I am without a car and left with a huge repair. As of today the car is at the dealer. Jim M'Lady Nissan in Crystal Lake, IL. I do not have the bill, we have just spoke over the phone.
