The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle made an abnormal sound. The check engine warning light and the ABS warning light illuminated intermediately. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
The transmission on my 2012 Nissan Rogue failed without any warning. While driving the car suddenly stopped accelerating, RPMs increased, when breaking the car would shake as well as the break pedal and there was a loud shaking noise coming from the engine. My car did not have any warning signs or prior issues, one morning while taking my child to school and going to work, my car began to have issues. At first it would not accelerate as fast as it normally does and the RPMS would go high. At this time it also started to run very loud and there was a shaking coming from the engine. When I tried to brake, the brake pedal began to shake and almost felt as though the breaks were slipping and not catching properly. Eventually I was able to pull off of the main road into a parking lot. By the time a tow truck came, the driver was not even able to get enough power to drive the car up the flatbed.
When driving on the highway the vehicle will desegregate. Check engine light goes on and off and received 5 different codes for the transmission. Tire 🛞 system comes on and off. The engine overheats a lot especially on hot climates. I drove from New York to North Carolina and had to stop 5 times on the side of the road so the car could cool down.
The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH, the contact saw smoke coming from the front driver-€™s side hood. The contact pulled over in a neighborhood and turned off the vehicle. The contact stated that the smoke dissipated independently with the Service Engine Soon warning light illuminated. The vehicle was driven home however, the following day the windows and key fob malfunctioned. The contact stated that the dealer and an independent mechanic were notified of the failure however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 165,000.
My car is jerking/bucking when I accelerate. I was told by 2 mechanics that it is due to a transmission issue. I also was told that they have seen this issue on several other Nissan Rogues. I believe this is a safety issue because jerking while driving is dangerous because this action might cause an accident and endanger the occupants of the car and other cars driving nearby. There was a light that came on immediately when the car started to buck. This frightened me because I never experienced this before, especially since I had my car checked a month and a half prior. I am now scared to drive it due to my safety and others, but also doing more damage to the vehicle. This car has had transmissions issues in other various years. Obviously there is a defect with the CVT transmission for more years than what has been reported. My car is available to be inspected upon request.

My car started jerking and vibrating I took it to a mechanic, he indicated that it-€™s my transmission. My Nisan is only 2012 with 100,000 miles. I already need to replace Transmission.
My 2012 Nissan Rogue sv that I purchased 16 months ago has had the same reoccurring problem where you'll be driving and the accelerator will get real hard and drop down to 20 miles an hour it's been in the shop seven times had several parts replaced the problem seems to have no reoccurrence theme it's hard to figure out why and when it does it we've gone as long as six months and 4000 miles without issue or three times in the same week the problem is it's almost caused 4 bad accidents we are very lucky my wife is scared to drive it I would do anything to get it fixed but we've tried and tried and tried and it just doesn't seem anybody can figure out what's wrong with it as much as I don't want to put it on the road again we don't have the means to just walk away, the car has 78K miles and runs great except for this dangerous issue
The vehicle body gives electrical shorts when you it's suddenly turned off. Also the cooling system blows hot air few months after I bought it. This happened when the vehicle was in motion.
In November 2017, while driving in one of the passing lanes on qew driving from buffalo, NY to toronto, Canada, at appx 70 mph, the car started losing power and speed. The RPM started revving alot but the car speed decreased rapidly. The cars behind me almost rear ended me at this speed. I was on a 4 lane thruway and it was difficult to pull to the right side of the road to the shoulder because all of the cars were speeding around me. Quite frankly, it was a terrifying situation to be in as semi trucks and other cars going 70 - 80+ mph were speeding up behind you as your vehicle lost power. I pulled to the side of the road and let the car rest for about 1/2 hour then started to drive again. I drove the next 30 miles at appx 35-40 mph with my 4 way flashers on. The car did eventually get back to speed and seem to drive normal. Mileage was appx 125,000- 130,000. This happened a second time in March 2019. I drove appx 65 miles on country roads in a rural area to pick up my elderly mother to take her to the hospital. The car suddenly lost power. The RPM's were going crazy, the car lost power. After about 20 minutes, the car eventually got back to speed again. I was afraid to drive her to the hospital in my car and fortunately a neighbor let me use their car to Transport my mom to the hospital. The next day I went to drive my car the 75 miles back home and it drove okay but I was very worried I would not make it home. Mileage was appx 145,000. This happened a 3rd time August of 2019 while traveling wb on the nys I-90 thruway. Again, I was in the passing lane traveling about 70 mph when the RPM's started going crazy and the car lost power. This time a semi truck was behind me and quickly closing in on my car. Again, it was tough to get to the right side of the road to get out of fast moving traffic. Mileage appx 160,000.
Labor day last year, we were driving down an old rural road, just got done passing a car and then our Rogue sounded like it revving the engine, then next thing we know it died at 65 mph with only 102,000 miles on it. $1000 engine later we fixed it. Now, last week on my way to work, trying to get up to 60 mph on highway and it revs up to 4 grand and will not shift. We limp it home. Thought needed tranny fluid so we add some. That Friday we take on a 2 1/2 road trip, we had to slow down to 40 mph for construction and then accelerate when construction was done. The car would not accelerate it revved up to 4 grand again. When we tried to get up a hill, on a freeway mind you, we had the gas pedal pegged and it climbed the hill at 20 mph. This was on a freeway very dangerous!! we limped it to a gas station and parked for awhile to get it cooled down. When to move it and absolutely no acceleration it would not move. Nissan she recall this whole [xxx] car and give us our money back. The cvt is junk and they have recalled prior years. 2012 and newer need to be recalled as well.

I have a cvt transmission problem, this should be a recall. My car should not need a new transmission. Aamco is telling me I will need one so I took it to the dealership where I bought it, they ran codes and said nothing was wrong but I needed a over $1200 external cooing system and it is under warranty and then I get a call and its not. I took it to there other dealership and the salesperson and mechanic said there was a problem...it started out loosing power and driving down the road thats kinda scary. I know there are other complaints out there about this and I need to know what to do....
I purchased a used 2012 Nissan Rogue in good faith from anderson Chevrolet. It was as is, so there was no warranty. However, the car appeared to be in good shape. However, there is a very common problem with these cars involving the cvt transmission where they fail. In spite of this being a very common problem, there has been no recall, no reprogramming, no nothing and the very expensive repair falls to the unknowing owner. I do not have an additional $4-5K to pay for this fix. And I am currently still in the middle of the loan for this car, so I cannot sell it. So I am left paying for a car that does not work, without means to do anything about it. This is unacceptable. Nissan disowns the problem, but it is a common problem. How does that work?
The vehicle was being driven on the highway and the acceleration completely dropped. The car would not go over 20 mph! there was a recall up to 2010 Nissan Rogue for the cvt transmission but doesn't cover 2012. The error was torque converter clutch solenoid circuit intermittent. The Nissan dealership said they don't replace that part and it needs a whole new transmission for $5000. I find it hard to believe other vehicles in 2012 have a recall for the transmission but not the Rogue.
Frontal impact caused airbags to deploy except the passenger front (no passenger) and the passenger rear side (passenger present). Nissan claims no deployment of side airbag is because no direct "T-bone" impact on passenger side of vehicle was sensed. Nissan also claims that the driver side airbag did properly because it sensed a potential rollover situation. Nissan was moving on city street and hit (T-boned) a truck pulling a heavy loaded trailer that ran a red light. Rear passenger side airbag should have deployed!
The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Rogue. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle slowed down to 40 mph. While depressing the accelerator pedal, the speed decreased to 30 mph. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and turned off the engine. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and drove home. The failure later recurred and the vehicle stalled in the middle of the highway. The contact called win kelly Chevrolet clarksville at (443) 574-5704 (located at 12421 auto dr, clarksville, md 21029). The vehicle was taken to cowles Nissan (14777 jefferson davis hwy, woodbridge, va 22191, (703) 497-3000) where it was diagnosed that there was an oil leak, and a body valve and coolant failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 6,449.
The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Rogue. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle went into neutral and it seemed like the engine stopped without warning. A few moments later, the vehicle drove normally. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 62,000.
At 49,935 miles, the transfer case and drive shaft (while driving) leaked and needed to be replaced at a cost of $1,514 + car rental for 2 days. The engine and power train are covered by Nissan's warrantee only until 5 year,50,000 miles. As I would believe that this is a Nissan design and manufacturing problem, and that other 2012 Nissan Rogue are having similar problems, I would very much appreciate if the NHTSA would investigate this to determine if a recall is warranted. Thank you.
