NHTSA Complaint #11527898 — 2015 NISSAN ROGUE

The transmission failed. The vehicle is not in my possession anymore it was sold to Carmax in May 2023. My safety and safety of others was put at risk in my opinion. The car would randomly not accelerate, I would have to pull over and restart the car. This at times would help and I would have no problem moving forward. Often it would not help and I would continue to not be able to accelerate. On the highway pulling over to restart the car or not being able to accelerate is scary. The car would at times not start and needed time to rest it seemed before I could get it to start again. The vehicle was inspected by Nissan in Chicago, IL twice, first on 5/23/22 and second on 3/14/23. The reports are attached. On 5/23/22 Nissan found nothing to explain the issue I described of not being able to accelerate but they stated-possible transmission issues that had not failed yet. It had also been inspected by an independent dealer several times- with no findings. No warning lights came on until March 2023 which is when I brought it to Nissan the second time on 3/14/23 hoping the warning light would give them more information. They found many other things that needed to be worked on but no mention of transmission issues. The report is attached. The Batavia Mobil recommended the transmission being replaced after their inspection on 5/1/23 and that is attached.
