Recently reported POWER TRAIN problems on 2015 Nissan Rogue

The car shakes at low speed. transmission is bad.

While driving the all of the vehicle warning lights will flash and the vehicle completely powers down. i have to push on the break, put the car in park, and start it again to get the vehicle to accelerate again.

2015 nissan rogue, brought brand new, has 63,000 miles. having transmission issues for >9 months. i have had no previous issues until then. i cannot drive for more than 30+ min before my vehicle starts stalling at stoplights/stop signs. when i go to accelerate after briefly stopping, the car stutters and bucks until i press harder on the acceleration. the stuttering gets worse the longer you drive it. the safety issue with a car not properly accelerating when you need it to, is concerning. i have taken it to the nissan dealership multiple times and they claim they cannot "duplicate" the issue, while the technician admitted to experiencing my complaint while he drove it a few times. they say nothing can be done because no codes are rendering a problem and i have to wait for the "problem" to get worse or ultimately, until the transmission "goes out" as the nissan rep told me.

When i started my car to leave work it started fine. i put it in reverse but there was a delay of a few seconds. then another delay to go into drive. the next day i had a dr appointment i couldn't miss so i start my car & the same delays. i go to leave the dr office & my car wouldn't go in anywhere. i sat in the car in drive for 10 minutes & it never engaged.

Yesterday i came from birmingham and i was going 70 mph my suv is whinnying i couldn't go pass 70 i floored it still nothing speed i had to spot on the side of the road to start driving to pick up speed i'm at 113,000

Transmission failed at 62912 miles. shudder, jerking, power loss, whining noise, lurching. the car 'jumping' forward almost caused me to hit a car in front of me on the thomas johnson bridge during rush hour traffic. . the sudden power loss caused great concern for safety on the i-95 beltway. i am grateful no one got hurt.

When i shift into drive or reverce it take a few seconds to ingage

Cvt transmission jerks in eco mode each time after releasing the gas pedal, also even when not using eco mode the grinding noise coming from transmission when going down the hill even if you're not applying on the brake pedal, also front passenger seat vibrates when in drive mode and holding the brake pedal at the light, the suv has only 33,500 miles on it. in my opinion all issues are due to manufactured faulty transmission. according to mechanics consulted was told jatco company that makes transmission for nissan makes bad cvt transmissions. a friend's dad owns a nissan also and had his cvt transmission that went bad replaced with a new purchased cvt transmission from nissan dealership and after about 60,000 miles he's having transmission issues again.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan rogue. while operating the vehicle, there was a hard vibration coming from the steering wheel. the vehicle was taken to star nissan (4020 172th street, flushing, ny 11358) where it was diagnosed that the continuously variable transmission caused the vibration, which was normal. the vehicle was taken to the dealer four times for the failure. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 28,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan rogue. while driving various speeds, a loud whining noise was detected coming from the transmission. the contact mentioned that the failure worsened when the vehicle accelerated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed that the transmission failed. the vehicle was then taken to lee nissan (793 center st, auburn, me 04210, (207) 784-5441) where it was diagnosed that the transmission was inoperable. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a decision was pending. the failure mileage was 106,700.

When driving and the car hits ~35mph, the cvt continuously loses power and begins causing vibrations and shuddering. car has ~64,000 miles.

Bought car from win motors today; took to mechanic next door..said it was okay; when asked for receipt for testing mechanic said he did not do that. car drove fine until i got home and when i moved from street into driveway, i heard grinding noise on brakes , but more importantly, when shifting gears a loud sound of straining; paid cash for used car. really hope i can resolve with 2 day return.

Check engine light illuminated at just over 70k miles with p1740 torque converter clutch solenoid inductive signature. the vehicle was taken for repair, and after inspection it was determined that the materials inside the transmission were deteriorating, damaging the bearings and causing fluid leakage and inadequate pressures in the transmission. this repair is costing almost $3000 and is well before standard expected maintenance schedules for the transmission.

Driving on i15 north, traveling uphill the car lost power traveling 80 mph slowed to 65 mph. no acceleration , top of the grade and the car resumed it's natural thrust. no problems afterward.

Vehicle loses power. this is random but the esp light is always on when it happens. this problem is worse on inclines. the car will not move. car hesitates when trying to accelerate. you can have the gas pedal all the way to the floor and the car won't go, or barely moves.

Gear shift came off in hand and would only go turning around in driveway gear shift knob came off in hand and would only shift from neutral to drive. dealer told me was not covered by engine drivetrain warranty because was not an internal part. the car was bought new and had only 37k on it.

86,000 and the cvt transmission need to be replaced/rebuilt. i have spoken with several shops and this cvt transmission on the 2016 nissan rogue is known for having problems and commonly has to be replaced. cost over $3000

Shift interlock solenoid. does not shift from park position intermittently

There is something desperately wrong with the transmission/power in my vehicle. i lose power when going up hills, especially when they are continual, like up a mountain pass! there is a super high pitched noise when the car runs for over an hour, like squealing. told there is no problem at nissan dealership, this is not true. the noise happens in every gear when it starts and doesn't stop until the car cools again. the power in vehicle that is lost up hills, will keep it from ever going above 60 until several hours later. the power is lost in the whole vehicle, it lags and sometimes nothing happens during this power loss when pushing the gas pedal. the loss of power is so much that it can't continue to go up hills sometimes and i've had to pull over! very scary on a mountain pass!

There is a recall on the nissan rouge 2015 on nissan recall page relating to reprogrammng of cvt transmission from 8th of december 2016 but this isn't on your page. my transmission went and was told it is over the mileage warranty and when asked was their a recall on my vehicle was told emphatically no however on investigation there is two recalls. when i later contacted them with this information they said they sent out a letter. i got no letter and when i said send the letter to my email account the employee stated he had no access to this information so how can he say a letter was sent out. nissan are continually putting these cvt transmissions into cars for years knowing they are not fit for purpose and there is no fix for them. you just need to google nissan cvt transmission failure to see the devastation they are inflicting on people

I was driving in snowy conditions and vehicle began baulking as if it was going to stall. a chassis system control warning displayed on th dash. i contacted the dealership and they advised it was due to the slippery road conditions. they advised to turn the vehicle off and back on and the warning would disappear/reset. i did this and the warning was removed however, brief moments of random "baulking" continued. a few days later i was travelling on a multi lane highway in a snow storm. the vehicle began to severely "baulk" and then the vehicle stalled completely. i was traveling very slowly due to the road conditions and the stall was so sudden, there was not enough momentum to get pulled over to the side of the road. i tried to restart the vehicle. it would start for 2-3 seconds and stall again. i was stranded, with my children, partially in a live lane of traffic, on a busy highway, in a snow storm. i kept trying to restart the vehicle and after approximately 20min it started again. i was able to drive about 5 -10km before the vehicle stalled again. i wanted to report this issue as i found a recall for 2014 and older nissan rogue for the same issue that was identified as a fuel pump issue. nissan reported the issue had been corrected formrogue's manufactured after june 2014. my vehicle was manufactured feb 2015. this is not only a recall issue, it is a serious occupant safety concern.

After driving in city traffic all day the rogue would not move as i was heading home for the day. i bought the rogue new in 2015 and in october 2016 this happened. took to a dealership and work was done. car ok until: september 2017 the rogue was shifting late and not down shifting going downhill. took it back to dealership. nissan said just to drain some of the transmission fluid and put in new transmission fluid.

I purchased this vehicle, driving on the highway the transmission blew out, car would not accelerate pass 40 miles an hour, only had the vehicle for 7 days!!

When the temperature is over 90 degrees and the car has been running for at least 10 minutes the car has acceleration issues. when at a full standstill such as at a stoplight the car will not accelerate quickly and respond to pedal pressure. when the pedal is floored and trying to start again it has a long delay like the transmission is in a high gear or is overheated. i know there have been many issues online about the cvt of the rogue. this only seems to happen when it is hot out. there are also issues when going up an incline in hot temperature the car does not respond to pedal pressure and acceleration. this is a safety issue in that when trying to turn left at a light i expect my car to go and not stutter and there have been many close calls to being broadsided.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan rogue. while driving 45 mph, the vehicle was involved in a crash and the entire front driver's side was damaged. the contact was injured and was rushed to the hospital for medical attention. a police report was filed. the vehicle was towed to the contact's home and then towed billy navarre nissan (1700 siebarth dr, lake charles, la 70615, (337) 439-9955) where it was repaired three months later. since the crash, the vehicle had been back to the dealer at least ten times. the tcm in the engine, an etrc sensor in the engine, the belt pulley, the transmission, the body control module, and the tpmf were replaced. all of the failures originated from the engine. the continuously variable transmission was replaced and recalibrated, there was a loose pin in the power relay box, and two sensors had to be changed, including the 02 sensor. in addition, the gears did not shift fluidly and the transbody sensor needed to be changed. the most recent failure was the vehicle sputtering and the transmission straining to change gears. by the time the contact pulled into her neighborhood, the vehicle had no acceleration and the check engine indicator illuminated. the contact planned to have the vehicle towed back to the dealer. the contact believed the vehicle was not in driving condition since the crash. the failure mileage was 49,000.

The air conditioning regularly stops working and will blow out warm air. we have taken the vehicle to dealerships and mechanics and they cannot replicate the problem as it requires some period of driving before it will stop working. sensors and wires have been replaced. coolant level is fine and this has been happening over the past two summers.

I was driving home from work one evening, and since the other vehicles were passing me on the freeway. i decided to change from "eco" mode to "sport" mode because the acceleration is more responsive and smooth. when i did this i hit 3 rpm's and traffic was slowing down so i applied the brakes and the needle just steadily shook at 3 rpm's and i could hear the engine revving and accelerating as i was pushing the breaks. so just to make sure i knew what i experienced was true i moved all the way to the left lane. then proceeded to accelerate up to 3 rpm's and sure enough when i applied the brakes it continued to accelerate. i repeated this 4 more times. then the rpm finally came back down. what i tried to explain to the service department is yes "sport" mode does keep rpm's high i like that that's the reason why i drive in that mode on the freeway. the issue is they're supposed to come down and not rev whenever i push the brakes. i don't know if this is exclusive to my vehicle or not. i just don't want to be in an accident due to the fact of a deteriorated faulty system in the vehicle.

Teering wheel vibrates at speeds 25-55 mph. most of the vibration will stop if i drive in the sport mode. have back to dealer three times, but no luck. they said other 2015 rogue show the same problem, there is no tbs issued yet, so they basically don't know how to fix it. two different dealers felt the vibrations. you can almost hear a like a harmonic noise when this happens. i have contacted nissan and am waiting for a resolution or something. i asked nissan to find a rogue that doesn't vibrate or get out of my lease with my money back.

Steering wheel vibrates at speeds 25-55 mph. most of the vibration will stop if i drive in the sport mode. have back to dealer three times, but no luck. they said other 2015 rogue show the same problem, there is no tbs issued yet, so they basically don't know how to fix it. two different dealers felt the vibrations. you can almost hear a like a harmonic noise when this happens. i have contacted nissan and am waiting for a resolution or something. i asked nissan to find a rogue that doesn't vibrate or get out of my lease with my money back.

Transmission was replaced within 6 months of having the car. they also adjust idle speed within a month of having the car and also had issues with power sockets. car makes rattle noise when accelerating and make less gas milage than average . they had reprogrammed the tcm already. they also changed the shifter . they had adjust both front brake backing plates. i won't recognize the smart key sometimes. they replaced one headlight already. it has several recalls.

my nissan rogue has a vibration defect, took to wharton auto group in parkersburg w va this is the dealer that i purchased rogue from , don't know if this problem is a safety defect . dealership says there is no fix. defect occurs from 10 mph up .. *tr

My car started to rev to over 4000 rpms at 30 mph it was like it was stock in low for over 3 miles i had to pull over stop the car and try it again i was unable to get it to run normal i took it right to nissan service they checked the car out told me nothing was wrong with it. they asked me if i had it in low i told him that a big d was showing so it was in drive and i was told they see that at about 40,000 miles they would not give and paper work for the service that was done if any. there is problem with the transmission this is the 2nd time it happened to me but it cleared up after a little.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan rogue. the contact stated that while driving at approximately 10 mph from a stop sign, the engine began to rev and the vehicle failed to accelerate over 10 mph. in addition, the vehicle stalled. the vehicle was restarted but failed to drive or reverse. the vehicle was towed to the dealer, who diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vin was unavailable. the approximate failure mileage was 500.

The car revs up to 5 rpms at 60mph like its stuck in neutral. need to take the foot off the gas get down to 50mph and was able to get it back up to 65mph. i did this in rush hour traffic. i was afraid the person behind was going to hit to change speeds so fast. nissan looked at the car today and said there wasn't an issue and i needed to do that to let the transmission catch up. never heard of such a thing. my last nissan at 98k died because of the transmission. before it died it was doing the same thing. *tr

There is a vibration noticeable in the floor, pedals and steering wheel at around 1250 engine rpm whenever the car speed is steady. it corresponds to about 45-50 mph when driving in eco mode. it happens while cruising at steady speeds on straight or curved roads. i have complained two or more times to the dealer and nissan usa and the only reply i have received is that it is normal for that model. other owners have reported this problem on internet forums. i am afraid this vibration will affect the long term reliability of this car.
