Component failed: CVT Available for inspection: yes 2019 - Vehicle stopped responding when pulling out of my driveway. My car was going backwards and I had no control. I had to turn vehicle off and on again to fix this. Had inspection and diagnostics at Nissan dealership. They reprogrammed engine control. 2020 - Vehicle was at stop light and started shaking. Then it stopped moving. I had to restart it. Had inspection done at dealership. Found no issue. 2023 - notified about recall, but when contacting dealership they said there was no recall. 2025 - When driving on highway car started slowing down. Hesitates and struggles to accelerate. This was dangerous because speed limit was 65mph, but my car was struggling to go 40mph. Started making loud noise when trying to accelerate. Took to mechanic, and found out this is issue with CVT, referred to service bulletin reference number NTB18-077b. Recommended going to dealership as service bulletin has been out since 10/2019. Again received communication there is recall for my Nissan Rogue sport. Called Nissan dealership and they stated there is no recall. I have appointment diagnostic inspection scheduled for tomorrow morning

There's a delay when pressing the accelerator pedal. This happened once and I took it to the mechanic. He mentioned that the CVT transmission code came up. He did maintenance work on the car on 12/10/24. Oil was changed and everything else he said needed to be done. He also mentioned that some Nissans had that problem with the C…

There's a delay when pressing the accelerator pedal. This happened once and I took it to the mechanic. He mentioned that the CVT transmission code came up. He did maintenance work on the car on 12/10/24. Oil was changed and everything else he said needed to be done. He also mentioned that some Nissans had that problem with the CVT transmission. It happened again yesterday. Upon looking into it online, there's a few other Nissan vehicles with this problem. This is a very dangerous situation. The first time it happened, I was with my family on the highway and I was unable to accelerate. My family got very nervous. Thankfully, I was able to pull over to the shoulder. That's when I took my car to the mechanic immediately. Yesterday I was picking up my daughter from school and the same thing happened. I had to put my emergency lights and stay in the middle of the road until the car accelerated again.

Feb 16, 2023

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2014-2020 Rogue and 2017-2022 Rogue Sport vehicles equipped with a jackknife style ignition key. The jackknife key may collapse into a folded position while driving.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: Driver contact with a key in the collapsed position could inadvertently shut off the vehicle while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the vehicle shuts off while driving, the air bags may not deploy in a crash as intended, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy: Dealers will insert a spacer into the key slot of the jackknife key, free of charge. Interim notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed March 29, 2023. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 30, 2023. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R22C5.
