I began to notice issues with my 2017 Nissan Rogue as I was driving down the road and all of a sudden, the car seemed to have lost power and wouldn't accelerate. I took it to my local garage, where I was told the CVT transmission went out and needed replaced. He recommended I speak to Nissan to see if they would help pay for the repair, since it's a common problem, less than 4 years old and only 72,000 miles. Nissan recommended I take it to the nearest dealership so they could diagnose it, then possibly help pay with the goodwill assistance program. I called the dealership and also sent a request for a call back online. I never received a call back. I contacted Nissan's Consumer Affairs department, who said they would contact the dealership. It took the dealership about a week to return my call. When they did, they scheduled an appointment for the following Tuesday. I had the car towed Monday evening and when I hadn't heard back by the end of the week, I called and left a message. They finally called back a week later and said the tests they ran come back to a failed CVT transmission. At that point, Nissan could finally review my case to hopefully offer assistance. Another week later, I received a call that they would not help with the repairs, towing fees or rental car fees. I have had to rent a car for 5 weeks now, because of them dragging their feet. So now I will be out $129 for the diagnostic test, when we already knew the problem, approximately $2,000 for the rental car and over $4,000 for a new transmission. I also would have to pay $5 per mile over 3 miles at 22 miles, so another $95 for towing back to the original garage.

Driving out of a stopped position - after being stopped at a red light on an inclined hill - the car felt like it was stuck in the neutral position even though it was in drive. I pulled over to the side of the road, shifted the gear from drive to park and back to drive, drove back into traffic, and the car again felt like the transmission was in the neutral driving position. I pulled over a second time, put the car in park, turned the car off and then back on, put the car into drive, and the transmission shifted smoothly between gears.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving approximately 77 mph, the vehicle started to decelerate. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate above 30 mph. The contact pulled over and the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to a certified mechanic who was unable to identify the cause of the failure. The vehicle was then transferred to the dealer but was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 67,000.
WHILE DRIVING UP HILLS ON CITY STREETS THE CAR SEEMS TO SLOW DOWN AND HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING UP THE BILL. THE A/C ALSO STOPS WORKING WHEN THIS HAPPENS AS WELL.

THE PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED, WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CVT TRANSMISSION SLIPS SLOWING MY CAR DOWN IN FRONT OF A BIG TRUCK WHILE MY KIDS ARE IN THE THERE. THAT IS NOT SAFE AT ALL, SO I TAKE IT TO A SHOP WHO TELLS ME IT NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION. GETS NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN THERE AND NOT EVEN A GOOD TWO WEEKS LATER IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. SO I GO AND RESEARCH AND SEE THAT THIS IS A BIG ISSUE AND NISSAN HAS NOT DID A RECALL ON IT YET. WHAT ARE THEY WAITING ON, TO HARM A WHOLE FAMILY. THEY NEED TO GET THEIR STUFF TOGETHER.

HELLO, I BROUGHT MY 2017 NISSAN ROGUE IN MAY 2020. HERE I AM NOT EVEN A FULL YEAR LATER WITH 64000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION (CVT). I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN BECAUSE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE WAS JERKING BACK AND FORTH UPON ACCELERATION. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES OR 24MTHS WHICH EVER CAME FIRST (WHICH I SHOULD NOT HAVE EVEN PAID FOR AT THIS POINT). I NOTICED THAT SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF NISSAN CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME YEAR ROGUE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH THEIR CVT. NISSAN HAS PLACED A BULLETIN OUT ON THEIR 2016 MODELS BUT NOT ON 2017. I AM HOPING THAT NISSAN CAN ASSIST WITH THE REPAIRS (COST$4400) THAT ARE UNJUST. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER COMPLAINTS OFFICE AND THEY JUST SENT AN EMAIL STATING THEY COULD HELP.
THE CVT TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHEN WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE ROGUE WOULD NOT GO FORWARD OR BACKWARD TO THE GET ROGUE OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED WITH ONLY 78,000 MILES AND OUT OF WARRANTY. THE CVT HAD BEEN SERVICED AT THE DEALER AT THE RECOMMENDED MILEAGE.
2017 NISSAN ROGUE WITH 23000 MILES. CVT TRANSMISSION STARTED GRINDING WHILE DRIVING SEEMS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE.

1. MY FORWARD COLLISION WARNING GOES IN AND OUT OF SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES PER MONTH. 2. THE CVT QUIT WORKING AT 78,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING ON I-70 BETWEEN DENVER, CO AND THE EISENHOWER TUNNEL WHEN SUDDENLY THE RPMS KICKED UP AND THE SPEED DROPPED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT GEAR I WAS IN BUT I COULD ONLY DRIVE 40 MPH AT 3500 -4500 RPMS. THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL AS WELL. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO RESET WHEN VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN RESTARTED AND SEEMED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. HOWEVER, WHEN TAKEN FOR A TEST DRIVE, THE BURNING SMELL OCCURRED AGAIN WHEN CLIMBING A HILL AND SEEMED TO DISSIPATE WHEN TRAVELING DOWN HILL AND TRANSMISSION IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.

2PE19010 · False Automatic Emergency Braking
Opened Sep 9, 2019 · No close date supplied
Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Forward Collision Avoidance: Automatic Emergency Braking
NHTSA received a defect petition (DP19-001) from the Center for Auto Safety (CAS) on March 21, 2019 alleging that the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system on Model Year (MY) 2017-2018 Nissan Rogue and Rogue Sport vehicles was engaging in cases where there was no obstruction in the path of the vehicle. The CAS petition additionally alleges that, based on Nissan's actions, the manufacturer is aware of the issue due to issuing a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) launching two "Quality Actions," and initiating a "Customer Service Initiative" in relation to it. CAS contends that Nissan's actions do not represent an adequate long-term solution to the problem, as the action is only available during the basic coverage period of the warranty. CAS also argues that the alleged failures are an unreasonable risk to safety and views Nissan's communications as not acknowledging the potential safety issue involved, instead treating the alleged problem as a performance update.The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) analyzed Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) complaints received from consumers and identified a total of 129 unique subject vehicle reports (for all submission dates) alleging a false positive triggering of AEB. Of these complaints, three were identified that contained allegations of a collision resulting from the activation of the system, and all three indicating related injuries.In response to ODI's April 15, 2019 Information Request letter, Nissan provided data indicating that it has received 750 unique subject vehicle complaints relating to false positive activation of the AEB system. Of these complaints, 12 were identified that contained allegations of a collision resulting from the activation of the system. Four complaints contained allegations of injuries, three of which were the result of a collision. These complaints included duplicates of complaints that ODI received. The injury allegations were limited to soft tissue type injuries such as whiplash and bruising.Based on its review of the information identified to date, ODI has granted the petition and is opening this preliminary evaluation in order to evaluate the cause, scope and frequency of AEB false positive activations, as well as to evaluate the suitability of the manufacturer's campaign to address the concern or improve performance of the AEB system. The complaints cited can be viewed at NHTSA.gov under the following ODI identification numbers: 11230875, 11230481, 11230361, 11229400, 11229302, 11229294, 11228994, 11223074, 11222925, 11222644, 11220499, 11218713, 11218608, 11217157, 11210334, 11210256, 11210148, 11209127, 11209032, 11207333, 11205931, 11205717, 11205661, 11205172, 11205124, 11205027, 11204803, 11204349, 11204324, 11196805, 11196561, 11196466, 11196091, 11195938, 11195574, 11194380, 11193989, 11192761, 11192283, 11192063, 11190855, 11190840, 11189976, 11187374, 11186903, 11185890, 11185883, 11185132, 11183406, 11180813, 11174713, 11173666, 11173302, 11172299, 11171331, 11170989, 11165434, 11164646, 11162898, 11162502, 11162396, 11161413, 11161230, 11155985, 11155209, 11155181, 11154181, 11153607, 11153334, 11151373, 11151028, 11142595, 11142557, 11142386, 11141775, 11141433, 11141387, 11141347, 11140604, 11139711, 11139226, 11133402, 11132376, 11130998, 11130662, 11129949, 11128704, 11124099, 11123564, 11123353, 11123321, 11122783, 11119475, 11119300, 11118604, 11115088, 11113479, 11113371, 11112371, 11111659, 11111057, 11110919, 11110689, 11104075, 11103844, 11103437, 11102715, 11102333, 11100117, 11099313, 11091006, 11089960, 11089798, 11089533, 11088815, 11088718, 11081072, 11079453, 11073644, 11072718, 11065505, 11061598, 11057739, 11056061, 11055766, 11048349, 11035301, 11033225, and 10972343.
