CVT transmission. Car seems to lose power when accelerating from a stop or entering traffic. Shudders, shakes seems to go to limp mode. I read up on Nissan CVT issues. Warranty's have been extended on year before mine (2012) and those years after me. Called Nissan Corporate. They said they had few complaints on Rogues. I said are you serious" I've read about plenty of complaints. So why have you extended warrantys" Advised they couldn't help me. First Nissan for me and last. Have never had any transmission issues with my vehicles over the years and I'm 74. Other cars NOTHING major just regular maintenance. Disappointed with Nissan they know they have a major issue with CVT transmissions and don't stand behind their product. My car is sitting in the garage. I'm afraid to drive it and around $5000 to replace transmission. It's a 2012 Nissan Rogue SL. Please look into this issue.
I have a leak on drivers side water was standing in floor It stays wet I had a new wind shield put in but that didn't help.No one knows what is going on is this a fire thing ? What do I do please help.
I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue with 84,000 miles and my CVT makes a howling noise when I start up the car. After warming up the car, the howling noise continues onto the local city streets and into the highway, and after a few minutes of driving, the screeching sounds go away. A few weeks later, I brought the car into a local mechanic for an oil change and the mechanic determined that the transmission needs to be replaced. I have maintained the car in optimal care by ensuring maintenance and general repairs are done bi-annually. After discussing this matter with Nissan Corporate, they determined my car warranty has expired and they cannot extend other Nissan Rogue extended warranty for my car. However, the 2003-2010 Nissan vehicles equipped with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) have a 10-year/120,000-mile (whichever comes first) CVT limited warranty extension, according to the Nissan Corporate warranty page. The cost to fix the car is approximately $5,500. The replacement of the transmission and additional normal wear and tear repairs (back rotors and pads) will cost more than the value of the car. Due to the faulty CVT design based on historic reporting on this model, I am very disappointed to learn that the quality and integrity of the transmission for having a car at such a low mileage. I had been lucky to bring the car into a local mechanic just in time before it stopped working. Had the car stopped on the highway, I would have caused a major traffic accident due to the poor quality design of the transmission.

The transmission died while driving on the highway and speed dropped to 20 miles an hour in a matter of a couple of minutes. Nissan has extended the warranty on the transmission for most years except 2011 and 2012 but it is the same transmission in the car. How can Nissan keep using a transmission that is problematic and not cover the repair for all vehicles.
While my 2 daughters(22,17) were driving at highway speed from N.E to Co. the vehicle without warning decelerated and dropped to 35 mph, In a panic she pulled off to the side of the highway and called my wife who googled nissan rogue issues and found that the transmission would overheat and then decelerate to protect its components from further damage without any prior warnings.If you wait awhile and were lucky that the tranny had not failed completely in about a half an hour the vehicle would reset and you would be able to drive it again.My daughters made it home and i started to research the commonly known issue with the C.V.T transmission! 1 week later my wife informed me she has had 4-5 instances where the car will not accelerate and high engine R.P.M.s while being in stop and go traffic or from being stopped at a red light or stop sign.I called Nissan consumer affairs dept.and was told there is nothing they were able to assist with because this car had no recalls and 122,164 miles on it.On Monday 5/31/2021 the car would start but the transmission would not engage, the R.P.M.s would not go above 1000.I contacted Nissan and they told me to bring it to a Nissan dealer for diagnostics.I had the vehicle towed($95.)to Valley Nissan longmont, C0(303-586-4311)Saied told me "the tranny had failed, and there were a few gaskets that needed replaced.$147.for diagnostics and the estimate to repair is $4281.I called Nissan C.C 1(888-388-0318)to report the findings and was again told"I am sorry but there is NOTHING we can help you with.I asked Valley Nissan if they would be able to help out and they offered to help by reducing labor and materials for the replacement and repairs to $3859.54.I cannot at this point afford to make the needed repairs, I am not working currently. Nissan Case# 43974262.The car is registered under my wife Harriet Langer.
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.
I was driving on the high way and my transmission starting acting up and I had to keep pulling over. I'm also experiencing weird noises with my bear and hub and it's been changed.
Clock spring issues, as far as I know a clock spring should last as long as the life of the vehicle, unless there is an accident or something unavoidable. Due to this issue my horn stopped working; this happened while in motion. I hope Nissan takes responsibility and replaces my clock spring at no charge. Also, in less than a month two front signal bulbs had to be replaced (left and right.)
I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue two weeks after buying this vehicle brand new the engine light came on, it was showing air mass flow sensor on a code reader and was replaced several times not fixing the problem today 8 years later the engine light still on, sometimes it just shuts off for a couple days on its own then it comes right up, noe sometimes while driving the car looses speed and it starts to shake back and forth and the traction light comes on, this is a serious accident waiting to happen, I have to safely park the car shut it off wait about 2 minutes and start the car again for the traction light to come off and drive normal again,
When traveling for about 1 hour (freeway) the engine roar, the RPM going up and down, lose speed especially up hill, smell hot, we cant use it for long drive anymore, just to work and store,
On 7/28 at approximately 8:45am, after picking my husband up after 6 months being deployed responding to this pandemic, without warning and/or no indication lights, I experienced a sudden loss of acceleration on my 2012 Nissan Rogue. I was in the middle of the highway traveling on the New Jersey turnpike. As cars and tractor-trailers passing by at speed limits, I had to slowly drift to get to shoulder. I had only been driving about an hour. I had to try to navigate safety across lanes to the shoulder even with pressing the gas pedal down to the floor, the car had only less than 5 miles acceleration. Once on the shoulder, I cut the car off. After about 40 mins, I was able to move the vehicle again to the nearest exit which thankfully was less than a.25 away before the car lost acceleration again and I was able to drift into gas station. Upon getting the car towed to nearest Nissan dealership, the service rep told me that the cvt/transmission has been a concern for Rogues as well as other nisaan cars and that their dealership has had to service them. Of course he would need to diagnose the problem and sure enough diagnoses came back as cvt/transmission issue. This is horrible and a consumer safety concern issue. It was very scary and dangerous situation. Nissan needs a recall on their vehicles regardless of cost- they need to be socially responsible to their consumers. My son also has a Nissan Altima and I am terrified of the possibility of this happening to him. I have never experienced this with this vehicle. I have never had any warning and or warning lights to such.
I'm just so upset with this vehicle. When you drive for about an hour the truck won't go past 70. It starts to slow down and you can't get any speed. I was going to wv and it started messing up I couldn't even pull the hill. It would just go so slow, couldn't get in another lane. It was so scary thought I was gonna get hit. The car always has an whinning noise when your on the road over 30 minutes. You have to cut the truck off, let it sit a while to get the speed to come back up. The next day I was on my way to the beach and it would not go past 20mph. Mash the gas to the floor and it would just make noise. Other than that I like the truck. Every time I take it to the dealership they are trying to charge me almost 1,000 dollars for something that they knew about before they sold these cars to the consumers. Nissan need to recall these cars, they are very dangerous especially if your on the highway with babies in the car.
Anytime you try to start it, it can be started during the second try, sometimes you can smell smoke when you are driving. There is an electrical malfunction somehow.
My cars transmission is making a weird raining sound when I turn it in and drive it, I know there is a recall for Nissan cars for the cvt transmission wondering if mine is covered.
I was driving from fort worth to arlington tx about 35 miles. When I would try to give it gas, the motor would rev up and the RPM's would go up but my vehicle would not go. I exited at the nearest exit which was a loop and then my vehicle would not go at all. This is during rush hour (5:45pm) and an because my vehicle would not go at all, an 18 wheeler that was behind me was not able to stop and if he hadn't swirved and gone off the road and into the grass, he would have hit the back of my vehicle where my 2 kids were. This caused several other cars behind him to almost wreck. This was the 1st time this happened. Then again this morning on Jan 28th, 2019 Monday morning, I drove from fort worth to grapevine tx about 40 miles. The car did the exact same thing. However there was no exit and no shoulder to pull over at due to construction. I was once again almost rear ended by the car behind me. Once again, I am giving it gas and the car will not go at all. This problem seems to be the transmission from what I have read on line with many other people having the same problem with the Nissan Rogue.... this is completely unsafe and unacceptable.
