   While driving on the interstate and exiting at normal speed, my 2014 Nissan Rogue suddenly lost all propulsion. The engine continued to rev, but the transmission stopped delivering power to the wheels. This happened in active traffic and created an immediate safety hazard, as vehicles behind me had no warning that my car would lose power. After stopping and restarting the engine, the vehicle regained limited movement, but the power no longer matched the RPMs. This indicates…

   The vehicle enters 'limp mode' without any warning indicators (dash lights or chimes) and it's not immediately clear why the vehicle does so or that the vehicle is, in fact, in limp mode. This has happened several times with the most recent case (October 18th) being extremely dangerous. I was highway driving in the Colorado mountains with limited exits available and speed limits that far exceeded my maximum 'limp mode' speed while traveling up hill. In addition to all the…

   While driving down the interstate, as I exited my vehicle lost power. It would rev up but no movement. I turned the car off and restarted, now the car will drive but the power output to the wheels does not match rpm's. Check engine light came on, went to AutoZone and ran diagnostics and the code says stepper motor on cvt transmission. Started checking it out, the dealer says only transmission replacement will fix it.

   The vehicle was experiencing judder on two recent occasions. The vehicle was just over 90K miles and due for a CVT fluid inspection. After experiencing brief but violent jerks/judders while operating between 1,500 and 2,000 rpms, I took the vehicle into the Nissan dealership for said fluid inspection/change. The dealership declined to perform the requested service that day and instead recommended I 'Replace transmission and install transmission cooler' due to a "P0744" code…

   There has been an issue with CVT on this transmission for many years. My vehicle has had this happen 3 times now. When I’ve contacted my dealership they always tell me there’s no recall etc! When traveling on a highway in warm weather….the rpm goes way up and you can not accelerate. When you pull off and shut the vehicle off and start it again. It will work fine. I just read that Nissan had put a “governor “ on the transmission as a safety feature. And this was the…

   When my daughter was driving down the interstate, with a 65 mph speed limit, the car started slowing down. It would not allow her to go any faster than 40 mph. She pulled over to let the engine cool some and continued to have the problem. When we consulted the Nissan dealer, they said it was a “safety mechanism” to keep the car from overheating. I certainly don’t see how it is safe to be forced to drive a speed limit too slow for the interstate. Why is this not recalled? I…

    My transmission failed. There was a recall on the transmission, that I am not sure I received. Nissan Consumer Affairs opened a case but will not assist me with the cost of the transmission. I have to pay 5621.00 to have a new transmission installed. Nissan admitted had a faulty part in the 2014-2017 Rogues - the CVT. The transmission was slipping and it could have led to an accident, but did not. The vehicle was inspected by the Nissan dealership and they are installing a…

    The CVT transmission lost power, deceleratted on highway causing significant loss of speed. Nissan knows of this manufacturing defect and fails to help.
