2014 NISSAN ROGUE Power Train Problems

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 internal CVT slip and loss of hydraulic pressure. Shortly after, the check engine light appeared. A diagnostic scan showed a CVT stepper motor fault, a critical component that controls pulley ratio and belt pressure. When this part or the related hydraulic system fails, the transmission cannot maintain pressure, causing slipping, overheating, loss of acceleration, and potential total failure. Many 2014–2016 Rogue owners report the same symptoms: sudden loss of power, delayed engagement, high...

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 trucking traffic and hills, this created an extremely dangerous scenario. I read online that the poor design/manufacture of these Rogues caused them to be potentially prone to overheating, but that poor design shouldn't have precluded warning indicators (at the very least) and potentially a recall. The ambient temps on that Saturday were in the 40-50 degree range. Hardly highway driving conditions that you'd even guess an overheat would happen to...

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 read from the vehicle's ODB. The vehicle's tachometer would bounce when the vehicle was experiencing the issue. What's particularly concerning is that the vehicle has received the regularly suggested maintenance and shows no warning lights on the dash. I researched the P0744 code for the 2014 Rogue and found the NHTSA published service bulletin related to this problem. I'm quite concerned that the dealership didn't offer this investigation as a primary option. The steps detailed in this...

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 suggestion to pull off and shut vehicle down for 10 minutes as this “resets” it! I was not made aware of this malfunction! When I called Nissan today the agent told me there was an extended warranty on my vehicle but it expired January 2022! There is ABSOLUTELY no warning this will happen. I was ahead of a truck in...

The CVT Transmission in my 2014 Nissan Rogue was replaced by Nissan in 2018 at 30K miles. Now 52K the CVT Transmission has malfunctioned once again. Nissan has a Class Action Lawsuit on this issue. Nissan is refusing to pay to have this CVT replaced even though they know it is a failed and potentially unsafe system. I am now passed the time limits of the original new warranty, but not passed the mileage limits. The vehicle can be available for inspection. The problem began a few months ago when the vehicle stalled (lost all power) at least three times on the freeway and/or side streets. The vehicle totally lost all power. I had to slowly drift to the side of the highway and then the vehicle restarted. On the side street the vehicle stalled, and I put the vehicle in park and then the vehicle started up again. A...

about 2 years ago (2021) both me and my wife's my nissan cvt transmission went out and needed repair. In my case the transmission overheated, losing power while driving 80mph almost leaving me and my family stranded on the highway while coming back from trip late at night. Took car to dealership where they diagnosed transmission had overheated. After contacting manufacturer Nissan they offered to repair the transmission. Now today [XXX] I took my car in again because the transmission seems to not switching gears as it should. To which After diagnostic and road tests the dealer advise I needed a new transmission which will cost at minimum $5000! This is the same dealership the transmission was supposedly "repaired" 2 years ago. After further research on my own I found out nissan vehicles has had a history of transmission issues with its cvt transmission. In both instances there could have...

Bought new 2014 In 2019 new transmission cvt issue Dealer replaced and now 90K transmission blown Car wouldnt do anything Driving on 5Fwy Middle lane doin 62 and it just stopped, it jerked so hard and cut all power When stopped couldnt put it in park

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 see there are many more complaints with the same issue.

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 new transmission. Is there anything you can do to assist me. Thanks

VEHICLE STALLS OUT AND SLOWS DOWN WHILE IM DRIVING AND WANT SPEED BACK UP. ONLY GOES 30 IN A 70 ON THE HIGHWAY.

The CVT transmission lost power, deceleratted on highway causing significant loss of speed. Nissan knows of this manufacturing defect and fails to help. Driving these vehicles put occupants and others on the road at great risk. Nissan should replace these transmission free of charge to the customer.

The vehicle has a CVT issue that causes the error code P17F1. The vehicle has 143K plus mileage as a result Nissan doesn't was to fix it. The car stalls while in motion and has to be stopped and restarted presenting a huge safety concern. The sad part is Nissan knows about this quality issue and there was no recall to fix it. Now they are using the high mileage as the reason to not fix the problem. On 10/2/2022, while the following traffic, the car stalled and nearly cause a pill up if the driver behind me wasn't smart enough to divert quickly to another lane. Please I need help.

bad CVT transmission is that the transmission is slipping gears. Usually when hot and traveling long distance (150 miles)

Hi, I have issue reported from Nissan dealer for my Nissan Rogue 2014 model -first owner. It just did 56487 miles and I have done regular servicing maintenance for oil changes as per standards. Despite all this ,on (13th Aug 2022) the issue started I noticed lurching,jerk and stalls whenever I stop at intersection or comes to sudden halt with warning in dashboard. I have to put the gear to Park mode and switch on the car again and it starts with slight jerk and able to drive . as such there are no warning lights when car is started. Just happened 2-3 times and I had to let it at dealer for diagnostics on (15th Aug 2022) the dealer said my transmission is defective and has issues and out of warranty since they consider only 1st 7 yrs and I am at a loss to replace transmission and problem...

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving at 30 MPH, the vehicle started shuddering. The contact released the accelerator pedal and the vehicle stopped shuddering. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to continue driving. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred while driving at various speeds. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the continuous variable transmission (CVT) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist due to the mileage on the vehicle. The contact stated that the manufacturer failed to honor the class-action lawsuit settlement associated with the transmission failure. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.

1. There is a problem with the vibration of the CVT when the car is driving, causing the engine to stall 2. The driver's desk and chair are shaking. Water leaks in the car, navigation not working, seats wobbling, problems with the CVT, etc. And the service of the manufacturer and dealer is very bad, I am very dissatisfied.

Transmission issues

In August 2021, my CVT transmission went out while traveling out of state. The vehicle was only 6 years old and had just recently reached 100,000 miles. There was no prior warning that would have alerted me to this issue, and the vehicle was checked out before taking the road trip. After having to tow the vehicle to a repair shop, I had to get a rebuilt CVT transmission from Nissan which took over a month. My family and I had to fly back home and were without a vehicle for over a month. In May 2022, while on another road trip, my vehicle stopped accelerating, the check engine light came on, and wouldn't shift. After turning off the vehicle for a while, it started shifting again. On July 3, 2022, the same issue happened again. I will have to take the "new" CVT transmission in again for a transmission...

I was driving on the highway on my way to work when the check engine light came on in my car. I was pressing my foot on the pedal and trying to accelerate but my car wasn't gaining any speed. It got to the point where I started to lose speed and had to pull over on the side of the highway. When i was pressing on the pedal i heard a pumping like sound but the rpms were not going up at all and the car wasn't moving. Going in reverse did not work either. I waited around 20 minutes for the car to cool down and I was then able to drive at low speed to work. No one but me has looked at the car so far.

When operating the vehicle under normal conditions the rear drive shaft cracked suddenly. The car began to shake and the smell of burning lubricant became noticeable. There was no impact that caused the crack.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated the vehicle was taken to a local Pep Boys for oil and oil filter change. The contact stated upon picking up the vehicle and driving 40 MPH, the vehicle decelerated inadvertently and stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and continued driving however, the failure reoccurred increasingly while driving. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled and failed to restart after several attempts. The vehicle was towed to another local Pep Boys where it was diagnosed that there was corrosion around the battery and the uncleaned engine oil caused the mechanical failure. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately...

Shift interlock failure to release shift lever from PARK.

The contact veered to the side of the road twice to allow the vehicle to cool down and then continued driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the remanufactured trans-axle and the continuously variable transmission (CVT) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact became aware of an unknown recall, which she associated with the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

2014 Nissan Rogue 103,600 miles, was running errands on my lunch break, made first stop and as I was pulling forward to a stop sign, vehicle lurched forward, hard jerk like motion, felt as if I was rear ended. Drove vehicle a mile further, stopped the vehicle turned off the engine went into a store, upon return vehicle started immediately, however upon putting the vehicle in drive or reverse, vehicle immediately stalled. Attempted same action a few times, same result. Check engine light would illuminate when vehicle would stall. No prior warnings, no prior issues. Vehicle towed to dealer, dealer advises torque converter issue, and a new transmission will be needed. Thank you Nissan, after years of battery drain issues and replacing the battery several times in few years & no resolve to that, this is what I get, can't say I'm surprised. Lets not forget the 2016 recall for...

The vehicle will randomly stop shifting and will keep rpms aat or above 5,000 rpm when going 50mph or 6,000 if going 60. Reports error code p1778 step motor.

My windows :front driver and passenger; Back left passenger does not go up or down, once speed is up to 50mph car gets a smokey smell no smoke or sparks visible.

When accelerating usually around 25 to 35 mph the transmission will fail and start jerking loosing all power. Have to let off and try again several times and is super dangerous. Has caused me to swerve to get out of intersection and tear up front clip of the car.

Vehicle shutters while driving in the rain/snow. Only while precipitating. Has been looked over by multiple mechanics and there is absolutely nothing they can find wrong besides a possible electrical issue.

I took my Nissan rouge in September 2021 to a mechanic to check my car. I explained I was driving to From Tampa to Orlando in the i-4 and I could. Or accelerate, the car speed stayed at 40 mph speed , and not going more than that. I had to pull over because my car was almost wanting to shut off. Very scary situation. After my mechanic checked my vehicle, he advised me that my transmission was faulty and that I should not drive it far distance as I did. The worst part is that my Nissan never gave me any warning of the issue. My mechanic gave me a price of over $3000,which I could not afford. Now I have a car that has a bad transmission and no money to fix it.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while starting the vehicle and attempting to shift the gear shifter from park to drive it was very difficult to shift into gear.

Vibration from transmission shaking car at hwy speeds

Vehicle while on expressway would loose power on and off. This cause for serious accident conditions. Transmission yellow warning light appeared on next day. Had vehicle towed to dealership and they confirmed there was an issue found extreme hesitstion entering gear or changing gear. From multiple codes P0841 fluided press sen/sw A. P17F0 CVT Judder. Also, found front sway bar link loose and replaced. And, Tie rods had to be replaced also because of being loose. Previously I also had to have the control arms replace twice. This is unacceptable. Beside that my vehicle was in shop from 8/9/2021 thru 8/26/202. without even to have rental car provided. except for 2 days.

Vehicle will not accelerate or shift even though the gas pedal is pushed all the way to the floor . Almost been hit multiple times because of this issue. Comes with no warning the car will drive fine and then randomly the rpms go all the way up and will not accelerate or shift. Tried taking it to multiple mechanics and the problem can’t be fixed except by replacing the transmission.

the car loses power going uphill, or trying to accelerate. Just the other day it RMP just went to 15 miles per hour and had to pull over. I'm told it could be my transmission. I am not sure

I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN ROGUE SELECT WITH 72,000 MILES. IT SHUDDERS/JERKS INTERMITTENTLY DURING IDLE AT DRIVE MODE EVEN WHEN AC AND FAN ARE OFF. I DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY HOW FAR I AM FROM TRANSMISSION FAILURE. EARLIER THE CAR HAD A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE AT 38000 MILES AND IT WAS REPLACED UNDER THE NISSAN WARRANTY. TODAY I WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY FOUND THAT THE CV AXLE OF THE RIGHT FRONT IS DAMAGED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE RPM WENT UP TO 4,000 AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. AT SLOWER SPEEDS, THERE IS A SHUDDER OR VIBRATION AND A LACK OF POWER/ACCELERATION. AN INSPECTION BY A TRANSMISSION SHOP INDICATED CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE. RESEARCH INDICATES A LONG HISTORY OF NISSAN CVT PROBLEMS. THE COST TO REPAIR/REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION IS $4,000.

BOUGHT USED CAR ON MARCH 14, 2021. SELLER DROVE CAR TO MY HOME. AFTER A TEST DRIVE THE SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND SPEED WAS LOW. I DROVE THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THAT IT NEEDS A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION TO BE REPLACED. SELLER DON'T WANT TO REFUND OUR MONEY.

DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER 2014 ROGUE WITH 64,000 MILES ON IT TO COLLEGE OVER 800 MILES AWAY WHEN IT KEPT JOLTING AND CAUSING A RISE IN THE RPMS. CAR WOULD DECELERATE FROM 65 MPH TO 40 MPH WHILE GOING UP AND DOWN HILLS OR TRYING TO PASS SEMIS ON THE HIGHWAY. FINALLY HAD TO DRIVE 40 MPH TO THE NEAREST TOWN WITH A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND LEAVE VEHICLE THERE AND GET A RENTAL CAR TO DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY TO COLLEGE. NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT CALLED AND SAID SHE NEEDS AN ENTIRELY NEW TRANSMISSION AT ONLY 64K MILES. THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS, AND NOT JUST ON THE SENTRA AND VERSA. NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ACROSS THE BOARD YET HAVE FAILED TO RECALL AND/OR EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON ALL MODELS WITH THE SAME CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES. MY DAUGHTER...

THIS HAPPENED ON 3 OCCASIONS BEFORE I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. WHILE DRIVING (TWICE ON THE FREEWAY AND ONCE ON SURFACE STREETS) THE THE CAR BEGAN TO ABRUPTLY LOOSE/DECREASE SPEED DESPITE MY ATTEMPT AT MAINTAINING SPEED BY ACCELERATING, THE CAR'S RPM METER BEGAN ACTING ERRATICALLY, AND THE ENGINE BEGAN MAKING A SOUND AS IF STRUGGLING. IN ALL CASES I HAD TO PUT ON MY HAZARDS, MOVE OVER/PULL OVER AND I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF IN HOPES THAT IT WOULD "RESET." WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER I WAS TOLD MY TRANSMISSION WAS OVERHEATING REPEATEDLY AND FAILING INTO A SAFE MODE. THEY SAID THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN CVT (ROGUES) AND REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM UNLESS A TRANSMISSION COOLER SYSTEM WAS ADDED TO FIX THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN EXISTED AS...

CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING AND TRYING TO YIELD TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR TURN AT A STOP SIGN. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN DECIDE TO GO AND THE RPM GOES UP REALLY HIGH.

CAR DROVE FINE THEN IN THE MIDDLE OF GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CHECK CODE IT WAS P1778 FOR STEPPER MOTOR. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 87000 MILES ON IT. BROUGHT TO A TRANSMISSION STOP TO REPLACE THE VALVE BODY TO HAVE A NEW STEPPER MOTOR. HAD THE PART PUT IN TO FIND OUT THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION FAILED. WE COULD'VE BEEN KILLED IN THE BUSY INTERSECTION WITH THIS HAPPENING WITHOUT WARNING.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2018 AND WITHIN A FEW WEEKS HAD ISSUES OF THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON, I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE, I BROUGHT IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THEY REPLACED A SENSOR BUT DID NOT BELIEVE IT WAS THE ISSUE, THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND ON A FEW TIMES, THE FORMAN OF THE SHOP WAS ON VACATION AND WAS GOING TO CHECK THE VEHICLE OUT WHEN BACK, THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT AND REMAINED OUT SO HE NEVER LOOKED AT IT. ON OCTOBER 29TH MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY VEHICLE HAS QUICKLY BEGAN TO BUCK AND FEEL LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS FROM THE ENTIRE SEAL OF MY WINDSHIELD COMING OFF AND HAVING TO HAVE THE ENTIRE WINSHIELD REPLACED ONLY TO...
