This car has to recall : CVT recall and fire hazard recall I was driving the car to the stadium and sitting on a traffic not even driving all the sudden the gas pedal stopped responding so the car does not drive even when I accelerate. I had to pull over open the hood then wait 20 minutes while trucking on the way I decide to try again then the car run. I took the car to a Nissant Dealership to be told that they cannot fix it because the title is branded.

AWD High Temperature warning message. Asked to stop vehicle. Once the message disappears and proceed to resume travel there's an odd humming sound from tire area as though the 4 wheel drive is engaged on drive pavement. Vehicle doesn't handle as well. This warning can happen 2 minutes to 2 hours into drive and on in surface type. Also, the AWD will engage without warning and will not turn off.

I bought the vehicle at 24,000 miles in 2015. at 40,000 miles I went in for the normal oil change and was told that the transmission was bad and needed replaced. Nissan replaced it. When I purchased the car I was given an extended warranty. I'm now at 116,000 miles and it loses acceleration power when driving (currently not being driven), and then all of a sudden the rpms jump up and it will go, causing danger while driving. It also makes a very loud whining noise. Had it towed to dealership and they diagnosed as bad transmission. Extended warranty is not wanting to cover. This is the second nissan I've bought that has had to have transmissions replaced due to the same failure. It is dangerous that so many are having this issue and Nissan won't issue a recall for the transmission that they are putting out to the public know that they are dangerous. I could've easily had a wreck or been rear-ended because of Nissan's failure. I also am a healthcare traveler that is over 1200 miles away from home without a vehicle now.

Purchased with 89k miles, now has 130k miles. A few times at random the check engine light came on and then went off immediately, seemingly went off when I would tighten up my gas cap, so i thought this was the cause. Hit 130k miles and light comes on during my drive home from work, and this time is accompanied by my loss of acceleration. On Highway I couldn-€™t go over about 55mph without losing ability to accelerate, I pull off Highway, get to first stop light, and then I can-€™t get the car to accelerate from a stop at all without an extreme delay. I pull into the nearest repair shop and they run the codes on ECU and tell me it-€™s not reading any active codes, but history codes are showing transmission issues and that CVT transmissions are known for this and recommends I call Nissan Consumer Affairs. Literally zero noticeable issues prior to this incident! I call them & they don-€™t have my name attached to the VIN? They create a case and tell me there was a class action lawsuit settlement (I never got any notification whatsoever!!!) but that I-€™m outside of the extended warranty provided as a result of the settlement. I still owe $8k on this piece of sh*t and Nissan won-€™t do anything-€"It should be recalled!!! 2nd Nissan I-€™ve owned, the first one I bought with 14k miles on it & had to replace the transmission at 35k, warranty expired. I will never buy another Nissan ever again. Ever. They clearly knowingly put defective and unsafe transmissions in these cars, screw over their customers time and time again, & are never held responsible. I don-€™t have the money to replace this transmission or buy a new car and be $10k in the hole. I can-€™t get to & from work in this car & don-€™t feel remotely safe when driving it. I-€™m terrified I-€™m going to get tboned bc I won-€™t be able to accelerate, & it-€™s only a matter of time before it is completely toast. There will be blood on Nissan-€™s hands for these CVT-€™s. I-€™m not paying them to diagnose a widespread issue they are fully aware of!!

My teenager daughter was attempting to merge onto US 15-501 traffic and the vehicle wouldn't accelerate, it kept hesitating. Oncoming traffic almost rear ended her. She got off on an exit and stopped at the red light. When it turned green she had the same issue and it wouldn't accelerate and continued to hesitate. She got it home. The vehicle was towed to the Nissan dealership and I was told the CVT transmission needs replaced. There were no previous noises or warning lights. The issue came on all of a sudden which almost caused a crash on the highway.

Own a 2015 Nissan rogue with 85k miles on it. Check engine light came on. Took to dealership. They performed diagnostics and gave the code P1740 and P0725. They told me the CVT transmission issue and needed to be replaced. Didn't have issues with the car up to this point and did all my service in Nissan dealer at the right time. Researched and saw that Nissan had issues with their CVT transmissions including the Rogue model and year I had. If there is an issue with the transmission, why are they allowed to still sell it? A bad transmission can cause an accident when driving or in reverse. It's 5504 dollars to repair/replace and no guarantee that the transmission they put in will work properly either. Called Nissan and they say they can't help because it is out of warranty. This issue has been going on for 2 decades already. I would like to be reimbursed for it. I know that's not your agency's job but you should be much more diligent on these issues. Consumer lives are at risk not to mention the huge cost of repairing/replacing a transmission. Nissan is getting a free pass on selling defective vehicles to the public. There is a class action law suit for the same which Nissan is settling only for few car owners who falls in the same category as mine. Here is the link for the class action law suit. https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/lawsuit-news/nissan-class-action-lawsuit-and-settlement-news/nissan-inks-277m-deal-with-rogue-pathfinder-infiniti-qx60-drivers-to-end-transmission-class-action/ Nissan should help all people who are affected by their faulty CVT. Nissan cars should be banned till they fix the issue and the Government should take proper action to safe guard the life of consumers and the people whom the government is working for. The rating on this car should be downgraded to zero. I request the concern authorities to help the affected consumers, ban the Nissan malpractice and save the lives of American people.
