Throwing code P0841. RPM’s bouncing, slow to accelerate, enters limp mode. Dangerous when on the road as the car is not properly accelerating with the flow of traffic and could potentially stall out in the middle of the road. Will need either the valve body replaced or an entire transmission replacement. After a lot of research, this is an EXTREMELY common problem with this CVT transmission and I feel it should actually be addressed by Nissan instead of customers continually having to shell out thousands of dollars in repairs of a transmission they know fails. This car doesn’t even have 100K miles on it.

On April 2, 2026, I was operating my 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport (Mileage: 45,905) at approximately 30 mph when a sudden surge occurred in the engine compartment. Despite depressing the accelerator, the vehicle lost all forward propulsion. I managed to coast through my development and into my garage. Upon arrival, all dashboard warning lights illuminated simultaneously, at which point I immediately deactivated the engine. After exiting the vehicle, I observed a total loss of transmission fluid onto the garage floor. The vehicle was towed to Naples Nissan, where technicians confirmed a catastrophic CVT failure. Prior to this event, the vehicle exhibited no symptoms of mechanical distress—specifically, no "Check Engine" lights, CVT-specific warnings, shuddering, or hesitation—indicating the transmission was functioning properly until the point of total failure.

On the fourth transmission with a Carvana car. It’s dangerous to drive. I can’t go more than 65 and I drive 200 miles a week. It just had its left front axel done and now today it is the right front axel. Carvana offered me a 500 credit.

There are times that I would be at a light and go to put my foot on the gas and the rpms would go up but no speed then all of a sudden it goes. I’ve taken to the dealership numerous times and they say they can’t get it to repeat it. I told them to let the car run and it happens. Sometimes it happens even if I drive to NJ. I’ll g…

There are times that I would be at a light and go to put my foot on the gas and the rpms would go up but no speed then all of a sudden it goes. I’ve taken to the dealership numerous times and they say they can’t get it to repeat it. I told them to let the car run and it happens. Sometimes it happens even if I drive to NJ. I’ll get off the freeway and get to a light it does the same thing. When I took to another dealership they said nothing is wrong. No codes pop up. But I have used a mechanics code reader and it shows a bunch of codes for the transmission. And I’m not sure if the warranty is still there from where I bought the car from. It hesitates before moving than takes off. Sometimes the engine would rev and not shift or even increase any speed.

The transmission or something connected/apart of the transmission. When driving the RMP will accelerate or drop acceleration with cruise control on or with foot on gas pedal. It is currently at the dealership being looked at. The check engine light came on when the vehicle accelerated to 4 RMP's. Last year the vehicle would not accelerate over 35 mph the dealership fixed the issue but never really stated what the issue was or why it happened.

My vechicles experiences rapid onset shaking, vibration and jerking at low levels of acceleration classified as “juddering and shuddering” in Nissan service bulletins. the CVT transmission system has been the subject of numerous vehicle and safety issue complaints and transmission defect class action lawsuits in Nissan model year vehicles dating as far back as 2012. I just want my rogue replaced or repaired but it seems that a repair will not make this issie go away.Despite settling multiple class action lawsuits, Nissan still equips these vehicles with CVT transmissions

2019 car has less 88,000 was taking in as engine light on. car had difficulty climbing any elevate, would lose power, had to place in neutral, then back into drive to get it to work. taken to dealer and was told multiple failures of the Transmisson and needs to be replaced. we brought the vehicle with 37,000, so we are 2nd owner and we did change the oil every 3000 to 5000 miles (usually at 3000) driven by a 64 year old gentleman, so was not misused. I transmission should not go out at 88,000 miles. I believe it is a CVT. it is now going to cost $6000 to fix which boils down to an additional 250.00 per month for driving this car for 2 years. We also had to replace the battery in the last 6 weeks

I took the vehicle to Midas because the smell of eggs was coming from the vehicle, it would jerk upon acceleration, and the oil was empty a week after getting an oil change. Upon researching the vehicle Midas said the vehicle was unsafe to drive and I had to call a dealer because the power train on the car was going. I had the vehicle towed to a Nissan dealer who had my car from Monday to Thursday and claimed they could not find a issue with the car. I was told by Nissan to pick up the vehicle and try to drive it. If anything came up to come back. After being told it was unsafe to drive I called Nissan corporate to escalate and voice my concerns. They suggested sending the car to another Nissan dealer. So again we had it towed. Today this current Nissan dealer is also suggesting maybe the previous shop cleared the computer in the car and to come pick up the car as well and drive it. With no regards to safety or standing by their warranty.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION, AND SUDDEN STALLING ON THE HIGHWAY, COBB PKWY, AND AT A ZAXBY'S RESTAURANT WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON FOUR OR MORE OCCASIONS. I ALMOST HIT A CAR LAST WEEK WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. I STEERED MY CAR TO THE RIGHT NEXT TO A CURB TO AVOID A COLLISION. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A CAR ON COBB PKWY. WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAD MY TWO AUTISTIC DAUGHTERS IN THE CAR EACH TIME THESE EVENTS OCCURRED. WE WERE VERY SCARED EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN NISSAN ROGUES AND PATHFINDERS. I THINK A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED ON THESE CARS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. PRAYERFULLY, NO ONE HAS DIED FROM THESE ISSUES.

Official recalls
2Feb 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.
Sep 12, 2019
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Nissan Altima, Armada, Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Titan Diesel, Versa Note and Versa Sedan vehicles, as well as Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80 vehicles. Additionally included are 2019 Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.
