NOTICED TRANSMISSION SLIPPING WHEN GOING INTO FIRST GEAR, SPECIFICALLY WHEN TAKING OFF FROM AT A COMPLETE STOP. IF IN ECO MODE IT IS WORSE. SO FAR ONLY DOING IT IN 1ST GEAR, WORRIED IT WILL GIVE OUT ON HIGHWAY LIKE I HAVE SEEN OTHERS. TOOK TO NISSAN TO HAVE DIAGNOSED RECENTLY AND TOLD I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION WITH JUST OVER 110K MILES. THEY DO NOT WANT TO COVER IT AS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THERE ARE RECALLS IN OTHER ROGUES FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE, OF COURSE NOT MINE.

I WAS TURNING ON A ROAD WITH A 50 MPH SPEED LIMIT AND MY CAR STARTED SHUDDERING AND THERE WAS WEAK ACCELERATION HAVING TROUBLE GETTING UP TO SPEED. I HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO MAKE THE TURN BUT THE CARS WEAK ACCELERATION CAUSED MY FAMILY TO BE IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION, WE COULD HAVE BEEN HIT. CAR VIBRATIONS, SHUDDERING, WEAK ACCELERATION, AND A LOUD NOISE WAS DETECTED IN THE CVT. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO CHECK THE ISSUE, AND THE REPAIR SHOP STATED I WOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THESE TRANSMISSIONS HAVE A HISTORY OF PROBLEMS CAUSING A DRIVER AND PASSENGERS TO BE PUT AT RISK.

2015 NISSAN ROGUE COMPLETELY LOST POWER ON A PARKWAY ON OCTOBER 26TH AROUND 7PM DURING A RAIN STORM. LUCKILY THERE WAS LOW TRAFFIC AND WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF A NEARBY RAMP HOWEVER WINDOW-SHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AND BARELY ABLE TO SEE. AFTER COMING TO A STOP THE CAR WAS CUT OFF AND RESTARTED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR OTHER WARNINGS APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. AFTER A FEW DAYS THE CAR HAD NO ISSUES AND THEN IT CUT OFF AGAIN ON OCTOBER 4TH WHILE AT A STOPLIGHT LATE AT NIGHT. I NOTIFIED NISSAN OF AMERICA OF THE ISSUE ON SEPTEMBER 27TH AND THEY MENTIONED THERE ARE NO RECALLS OR CAMPAIGNS HOWEVER I SEE SEVERAL REPORTS OF THE SAME POWER FAILURE ISSUE ONLINE. LOCAL NISSAN DEALER HAS HAD THE CAR SINCE OCTOBER 5TH AND CANNOT DUPLICATE ISSUE OR FIND CODES INDICATING WHAT COULD CAUSE THE POWER FAILURE. THIS IS A VEY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN SHOULD KNOW WHAT COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO COMPLETELY POWER OFF AND ALL CONTROL IS LOSS BRIEFLY WHILE DRIVING. CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 103,000 TO 106,000 MILES AND ALL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN DONE ALONG WITH NO PREVIOUS SERIOUS ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION ISSUES.

Official recalls
9Feb 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.
Jan 21, 2022
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Rogue vehicles. The electrical connector for the under dash harness may corrode due to water and salt intrusion from the driver's side foot well.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Corrosion in the electrical connector can result in power window/seat failure, all-wheel-drive warning light illumination, battery drainage, and electrical connector damage that increases the risk of a fire.
Remedy: Dealers will remove the harness tape and harness covering and replace both connectors and apply white lithium grease to the connectors as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 23, 2022. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R21B9.

An incorrect Occupant Classification System (OCS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may have been installed in the front passenger seat. The incorrect ECU and seat combination may misclassify the front passenger seat occupant.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the front passenger seat occupant is misclassified, the air bag may deploy incorrectly in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ECU and update the OCS software free of charge. The recall began February 13, 2017. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.
Remedy: Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors. Dealers will reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, and Sentra vehicles, and replace the OCS ECU in LEAF, NV200, NV200 Taxi, Pathfinder, Infiniti Q50, JX35, and QX60 and Chevrolet City Express vehicles, free of charge.

Consequence & remedy

Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear tailgate stays, free of charge. The recall began on November 18, 2016. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2015 Rogue vehicles manufactured February 10, 2015, to May 13, 2015. In the affected vehicles, due to a problem with the shift selector knob, it may be possible to shift out of the "Park" position without depressing the brake pedal. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the shift selector can be moved out of the "Park" position while the brake pedal is not depressed, the vehicle may unexpectedly roll, increasing the risk of a crash.

In the affected vehicles, the driver side front and rear doors may not fully latch. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 206, "Door Locks and Door Retention Components."
Consequence & remedy

Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the date, lot number, and cavity code on the left front and rear door latches, and replace them, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 31, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2015 Rogue Select vehicles manufactured November 17, 2014, to December 12, 2014 and equipped with seventeen-inch wheels. The affected vehicles have incorrect tire size information on the tire labels. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 110, "Tire Selection and Rims and Motor Home/Recreation Vehicle Trailer Load Carrying Capacity Information for Motor Vehicles with a GVWR of 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds) or less."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: The labels list the incorrect tire size. Installing tires of the incorrect size may increase the risk of a crash.

Jan 14, 2015

During the assembly process, the front wheel hub assembly fasteners may not have been properly torqued.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: The under-torqued fasteners may result in a brake caliper separating from the wheel assembly causing a reduction in braking performance or reduced steering control. These conditions increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and tighten any loose bolts to the proper specification, free of charge. The recall began February 2, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
