WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH ITS CVT. THE VEHICLE WAS OVERWORKING AND IN 4TH GEAR GOING 20 MPH ON A RURAL ROAD. THIS OCCURRED WITHIN A MONTH AFTER AN INSPECTION, WITH MY VEHICLE PASSING WITH FULL MARKS. THE NISSAN CVT IS FLAWED AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

NHTSA ODI 11359775

NOTICED VEHICLE WAS HAVING TROUBLE WHEN INTERMITTENT PAUSES OCCURED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS WORRIED ABOUT THE CONDITION OF MY CAR, SO LIMITED MY DRIVING TO CLOSE IN-TOWN TRIPS UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. DROVE 2 MILES YESTERDAY (09/10/20) AND IT STARTED JUTTING AND IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE.

AFTER 3 DAYS OF INVESTIGATION IT TURNS OUT THE WIRING HARNESS HAD NOT BEEN PROPERLY SECURED AND THE CASING WORE OFF FROM RUBBING UP AGAINST THE CAR, CAUSING A SHORT THAT CAUSE A FAILURE OF THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEED, SHE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.

NHTSA ODI 11351346

THE CAR DIED WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. IT SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER AND SHE WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP. THE STEERING AND BRAKES WORKED, BUT THERE WAS NO POWER FROM THE ACCELERATOR THEN THE CAR JUST TURNED OFF.

NHTSA ODI 11350986

I FIRST NOTICED THIS WHILE DRIVING HOME ON MY STREET WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 45 IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS ACCELERATING AND FROM THEN ON IT WOULD HAPPEN RANDOMLY. 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.

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?

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.

NHTSA ODI 11343692

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.

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.

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.

NHTSA ODI 11337747

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.

WHEN I PUSH THE GAS THE CAR BARELY MOVES - LITERALLY - AND THEN IT WILL GO ALL THE SUDDEN. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS BECAUSE I CAN FIND NO RHYME OR REASON TO WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. *TR

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

WHEN MOVING DOWN HIGHWAY 289 NORTHBOUND IN FRISCO, TEXAS AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND LOSE POWER, AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED MOVING WHILE THE GAS PEDAL WAS ENGAGED.

I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR A FEW HUNDRED YARDS TO A TURNOUT.

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.

SITTING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE, TRAFFIC WAS MOVING VERY SLOW (STOP AND GO) AS I DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND JOLT. I RELEASED THE GAS PEDAL AND TRIED AGAIN AND RECEIVED THE SAME RESULT. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE MORE I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE. I THEN TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC WHERE HE EXPLAINED MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING TO STOP WORKING AND I WILL NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. HE HAD A MACHINE THAT WAS HOOKED UP TO MY VEHICLE SHOWING THE CVT CODE. I DID NOT THINK TO ASK FOR A COPY OF THE READ OUT.
