2017 NISSAN ROGUE Power Train Problems

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to respond as intended, and the vehicle hesitated and stalled. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle independently stopped while depressing the accelerator pedal, and an independent mechanic was contacted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed and the contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the failure had occurred twice. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified on the failure and informed the contact to call Toyota for assistance. The contact called Toyota and was informed that the dealer where the vehicle was purchased was out of business and to call Nissan for assistance; however, the contact received no assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 133,000.

I believe the issue is with the transmission by online research. I have had the issue multiple times. The vehicle sometimes hesitates to go when pressing on the gas pedal after being stopped at stop lights. This is a problem mostly when it is very hot outside. I have had multiple close calls when trying to take a right at red lights. I will have plenty of time before another car is coming but I try to go and the car hesitates or barely moves before it actually goes almost causing accidents. I have not been able to get the car to the dealer to try and reproduce the issue and I feel it would be hard to reproduce unless the car was driven for a bit in the heat. There are no codes or warning lights populating.

When car is at a stop I need to press the accelerator all the way down for the car to go. It goes very slow (almost slipping) and feels very dangerous (risk of being rear ended). This started 2/3 weeks ago. My mechanic replaced the transmission fluid after finding metal particles in it. Also mentioned over a quart of transmission fluid was missing. They advised me to get a whole new transmission. I contacted Nissan consumer affair since there is a class action law suit for my Nissan Rogue. Mileage as of today it 84,400 miles. Car is being inspected as we speak. They did not find any code and it passed everything so I have to pay $730 for further inspection.

This car only have mileages of 62014 and is maintained regularly on time. There is no any accident with this car. I drove this car in the past 3 months and have no any issue. However, when I reversed the car from my garage smoothly in the morning on July 15, 2025, the car couldn't move forward with Malfunction Indicator Light on. The diagnostic codes P0776 and P0965: Nissan CVT solenoid failure. The Nissan extended warranty is 84 months/84000 miles. The car was not drove too many in the past 3 years. So, the car is not eligible for the extended warranty by time (8 years instead of 7 years) but do be eligible by mileage (only 62014 miles) . The Nissan policy is to determine the eligibility by which criteria (time/mileage) come first. The CVT problem is really common to the Nissan Rogue. The Nissan should extend the warranty...

I purchased a 2017 Nissan Rogue used from a Nissan dealership with 58,617 miles. At around 99,000 miles, the vehicle began experiencing dangerous hesitation and shuddering. A certified Nissan dealer diagnosed a failure of the CVT transmission, specifically citing Code P17F2 (Judder Condition). I was quoted over $6,000 for the repair. This issue matches known Nissan CVT defects that have been subject to multiple lawsuits and technical service bulletins, but my VIN was not included in prior coverage extensions. Nissan denied my request for Goodwill Repair Assistance despite having documentation from their own dealer. This failure poses a safety concern and appears to be the result of a widespread manufacturer defect that has not yet been formally recalled for all affected VINs. I am submitting this to request investigation and accountability.

The contact's niece owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while her niece was driving at various speeds, the vehicle made an abnormal sound that increased significantly while exceeding 40 MPH. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the contact was informed that the abnormal sound was coming from the transmission. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 56,773.

My 2017 Nissan Rogue's CVT Transmission failed THREE TIMES in 36,321 miles. On 11/22/21 Walser Nissan replaced the transmission. Odometer read 62,735 miles, so at the time Nissan claimed the warrantee had expired (60,000 miles) so after fighting the situation, they agreed that their ‘Goodwill Program’ would waive the cost of the replacement. Then, in less than 2 months later, the CVT failed AGAIN. On 1/14/22 Walser Nissan replaced the transmission. The odometer read 64,378 miles & even though they again claimed the warrantee had expired, their ‘goodwill program’ would waive the cost of the replacement. Now the CVT failed AGAIN. On [XXX] the CVT transmission failed a THIRD time, only 36,321 miles since the last system failure, Nissan is saying they will only cover the cost of the parts but refuse to pay for the labor costs for the replacement. Text message from Walser Nissan on 5/13/25 at 2:27pm:...

Complaint Summary: I am filing a safety complaint regarding the CVT transmission failure in my 2017 Nissan Rogue, which occurred at just 49,000 miles—well below what would be expected for a critical drivetrain component. This failure happened suddenly and without warning while I was driving out of state on a highway with my [XXX] and [XXX] children in the vehicle. The car lost power and stranded us on the side of the road, creating a dangerous and stressful situation. I have since been quoted $6,000 for a replacement transmission, which is an excessive cost for a vehicle with such low mileage and no prior transmission issues. Nissan has refused to offer any goodwill assistance, despite known widespread issues and prior class action lawsuits concerning defective CVT transmissions in their vehicles. This failure represents a serious safety hazard, especially considering how it occurred while traveling at highway speeds. I strongly urge...

Car had scheduled routine maintenance done on February 15, 2025 where tires were rotated and balanced. About a month later, the rear differential failed. Car only has 87,000 miles on it and was not driven in any excessive manner. Wheel bearings made noise for two days and then the differential failed before car was able to be seen by the repair shop. This is an example of a critical flaw in the differential and is extremely dangerous because it could have seized up while I was driving my daughter to preschool. Vehicle has inspection report from two different repair shops (one being the dealer) confirming failure of rear differential. No warning lamps, messages, or othe symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, only two days of noisy wheel bearings indicating they needed replacement. Nissan issued service bulletin NTB10-0291 regarding this problem but no recall has been ordered. When can...

Miles: 47,788 Started hearing noise under the car, noise increases the more I accelerate and becomes very noticeable and annoying. Went to Nissan to diagnose, seems the transfer case oil has metal shavings and is the cause of the load noise. Nissan recommends to replace the transfer case and transmission as they usually will go together. The damage is internal and there is no external sign of damage and no oil leaks from both transmission and transfer case. I explained since the damage is internal and I had no hand in causing this damage it must be a manufacturer defect. Nissan replied that the warranty expired on July 2024 and will not be able to cover this damage and asked me to replace both transmission and transfer case for $15k.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving at undisclosed speeds, the vehicle lost automotive power. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was scanned with an OBD2 scanner with a transmission sensor failure. In addition, several days later, while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost automotive power. The contact pulled over to the shoulder of the road, where an independent mechanic arrived at the scene and diagnosed the vehicle. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was towed to a local garage. The local dealer was contacted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Have had this car for over a year and have been dealing with it constantly going into limp mode randomly throughout the day, usually when driving in stop and go traffic. Prior to going into limp mode (won't shift out of first gear), it lags for about 5 seconds while pressing the acceleration pedal and does not move. It's a huge safety issue when having to turn with oncoming traffic. I've taken the car to the dealer multiple times and Nissan refuses to acknowledge that there is any issue. When scanning with an OBD2 scanner, there are no codes associated with transmission issues. Transmission fluid has been flushed and replaced more then once since owning the car. On bad days, my car has gone into limp mode up to 6 times in one day. I've read this is a common problem with this year and model of car yet there...

On December 3, 2024, the transmission on my 2017 Nissan Rogue would not shift out of 2nd gear. I was driving home from work on a crowded freeway. When the traffic subsided, I could not make my vehicle drive faster than 20mph. I exited the freeway as soon as I could and pulled over to call the Auto Club for a tow. The tow truck driver said that this is a known condition with this model of transmission. My vehicle had 71,000 miles and had been properly serviced and I have the records to show it. The service at the dealerships were closed so I had it towed within the mileage range so it would not cost me anything through AAA. The mechanic kept my car for a week and replaced the transmission valve body which cost me $1871.68. I called Nissan HQ and spoke to a customer service rep,...

Went to park the car on an incline the car started rolling back and wouldn’t stop this is a safety issue that need to be resolved asap

The car is slow to accelerate when stopped and after a few seconds will kick in and "peel out". It shutters, stalls, and goes fast. I was turning left on a yellow light and the car just stopped. The oncoming traffic had to slam on brakes, swerve to miss me and the car peeled out suddenly. I was nearly T-boned with my kids in car, then nearly hit other cars when accelerated extremely fast. The dealer did recreate the issue and says it needs a new CVT transmission for $7,500. No warning of this problem. I thought it was the fuel injector or bad gas at first and had the fuel injector cleaned. I was never told that Nissan is known for this problem. Once I took back to dealer at 101K miles, that's when I was told it needed replaced. Conveniently after the warranty expired. This was bought for...

While taking off from a stoplight, the car did nothing when I pushed on the gas-then it jumped into gear & took off abruptly. This has happened multiple times. Just last week, I was driving & it started revving at higher rpm’s. I had to pull over and shut the car off and restart.

The transmission on my 2017 Nissan Rogue is failing. I was driving from Queens, New York towards my home in New Jersey with my 10 year old nephew. There was a lot of stop and go traffic. Once I got into Manhattan, I noticed my car was having a hard time accelerating. The RPMs would go up to 4 but my car wouldn't go pass 40 miles on the speedometer. I pulled over to the side and turned off and turned on my car to try to reset it. It worked and I was able to continue driving. However, when I got to the Lincoln Tunnel entrance, the same issue was happening. Because it was stop and go traffic. I decided to again turn off and turn on my car. This time, when I tried turning it on, the car wouldn't turn on. I attempted it again and on the...

Transmission stalling when engine is hot. Constantly having putting my entire family’s life in danger as when pressing the gas pedal it does not respond right away. Please make this a recall as so many people are having the same exact issue!! This is not an affordable fix! Nissan needs to make this right.

The transmission went out. It will cost 9000 dollars to fix. The dealership not Nissan warned me about this

Car stops accelerating when the engine get hot. It happens all the time. I was not made aware of any issues with the car when I purchase it . This apparently is a known issue and a teenager drives the car. Mechanic states the whole transmission needs to be replaced.

CVT transmission started making the car not accelerate and was sluggish. It actually ended up stopping in the middle of freeway traffic. I had to turn the car off and then back on but it still was having high RPMs without accelerating.

My tranmission is not liable. My vehicle jerks, steering wheel vibrates when I hold it at a speed like 45. I have written you before. Nothing will be done. I waiting for it to just die and not move. I know a lot of Nissan Roque have Transmission problems and there is a recall out there. But since mine doesn't show any codes nothing will be done. I don't understand why wait before it does leave me stranded. Or maybe I have a lemon of a vehicle

In my 2017.5 Nissan Rouge, which I purchased brand new, I am experiencing a serious life-threatening issue. It has occurred five times in the last 3 months when I attempt to accelerate from a stopped position, pressing the gas pedal,It does not move until I press very hard. The engine lags and seems to be in 1st gear for about 15 min or so until I turn it off and restart it again to return to normal operation. The vehicle has a mileage of only 62000. I believe it to be a defective CVT transmission. Dealership had been informed and waiting for their response. will update once I get a response.

While driving i started to notice my RPM increasing and my acceleration decreasing. I have stayed up to date and proactive on maintenance. at 110000 miles my transmission has started to have gear slips, My RPMs increase and my car will randomly lose the ability to accelerate at random times leaving me vulnerable to an accident car crash.

Vehicle consistently loses power, very loud noise as it is revving up, no lights are on for warnings, sounds as if it is trying to change gears but will not. The a/c also quits working during small climbs or long trips or especially in hilly areas.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the vehicle was designed to turn off when pressing the Push to Stop button regardless of which gear it was in. The contact stated that while turning off the vehicle while it was in reverse(R), in drive (D), or in neutral (N), the vehicle rolled. The contact stated the failure also occurred when turning off the vehicle while it was in the park(P). There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that on one occasion, the vehicle rolled and hit his wife while she was attempting to stop the vehicle from rolling. The contact's wife fell on the pavement. The vehicle then hit another unoccupied parked vehicle. A police report was filed. The contact's wife sustained pain on the left shoulder and left knee, but did not see medical assistance. The dealer was notified of the failure and...

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while the vehicle was being serviced at the dealer, the contact was informed of a CVT failure after a diagnostic test. The contact stated while driving 15 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to respond and failed to exceed 15 MPH. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact pulled over to the side of the road. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, and the vehicle responded as needed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 117,000.

The transmission is jerking going from first to second gear. The rpm's will rev up but I get no speed. This vehicle only has 96,000 miles currently. The problem started occurring around 90,000 miles and took our family a while to figure out what was happening. It started out as a slight jerking and now is becoming quite problematic. I have reached out to the Nissan manufacturer to file a complaint but have not got anything from them with the exception of an apology. As we research this is a very common problem and yet there has not been a recall on the transmission unfortunately. This is putting our family in danger as we have to visit our family in two different states and often do not have good cell phone reception due to the mountainous regions. Now we do not feel safe traveling with this vehicle. We expected to...

On multiple occasions this vehicle has lost power whilst driving on public roads including but not limited to interstate roadways. The vehicle will be operating normally at speeds of up to 75 miles per hour (depending on the posted speed limit) and will suddenly lose power and speed to such a degree that it is unsafe and the speed cannot be regained. Vehicle has been inspected and "fixed" on multiple occasions, in multiple states including but not limited to Missouri and South Carolina where the incidents have occurred, however the issue has continued to occur. The locations the vehicle has been inspected and "fixed" include both dealerships and independently owned garage repair shops. The Nissan dealership has advised this issue is not under warrantee and is not part of a recall. They have advised there is a recall of the engine of the 2017 Nissan Rogue Electric vehicle only for...

The vehicle is well maintained with about 102,400 miles. There has been no previous indication that the transmission had any issues. While operating the vehicle under normal conditions. I drove about 10 miles and entered the highway. While accelerating to meet the speed limit of 70mph the vehicle began to experience a sudden loss of power. The RPMs would spike but the vehicle would decelerate. There were no warning lamps or other indications of what was wrong. I left the highway at the next exit and when I stopped to inspect the vehicle I found that the vehicle would not initially go into gear when I tried to get back on the road. The vehicle eventually went back into gear, though accelerating was jerky and inconsistent. I took it to Valvoline for an inspection and oil change. They found that the fluid levels were normal and could see no other...

Check engine light P0776 Pressure control sol B. Recommend replace CVT unit due to internal failure. Mileage: 109,422 This vehicle was covered by the extended warranty to 84 months or 84,000 miles. It failed at 109.422 miles. This is shocking and unacceptable and expensive! Approximately $6,000 to repair/replace transmission which made the vehicle more costly than its trade in value. Repair estimate performed by South Austin Nissan. Contacted manufacturer and was referred to the Kbb class action website for information.

2017 Nissan Rouge should be recalled due to Faulty Transmission (Transmission Malfunction). 2017 Nissan Rouge is dangerous and places the life of driver, passengers and others at risk. Vehicle is available for inspection. On 07/20/2023 at approximately 10pm I arrived home with my Senior Mother and 5-year-old son who were seated in the back seat of my 2017 Nissan Rouge. I placed the car in park in my driveway, my 2017 Nissan Rouge remained in park for approximately 2 minutes while I removed an item from my driveway. When I returned to my vehicle that was in park for approximately 2 minutes with my Senior Mother and 5-year-old son in the backseat, I proceeded to turn the key that was in the ignition and pulled it out of the ignition. When I pulled the key out of the ignition the car proceeded to roll back while I was standing in...

Occasionally, when attempting to start driving from a complete stop (from a stop sign, traffic light, etc.) the Rogue will delay to accelerate and not move more than a few miles per hour for a few seconds before fully engaging. This is a safety issue when attempting to turn left at a green light, or crossing streets from a stop sign because there is no way to tell if the Rogue will delay in accelerating until you press the gas pedal. I have found that this is more likely to start happening after driving in stop and go traffic or on a route that has frequent stops. Also, occasionally after driving in stop and go traffic, the Rogue will begin to rev high and not accelerate. In both cases, if the Rogue is turned off and restarted, the problem stops and the Rogue accelerates normally again.

Sadly disappointed in the fact that my transmission is failing and is a known issue with these vehicles. I have contacted Nissan and their Infinity Consumer Affairs has called back. I try to call them back and get nothing but a voicemail. They don’t seem to want to address this issue. The transmission will not initially engage in either reverse or drive. It also upshifts for no reason when driving. It has about 93k miles on it and the transmission is junk. The company should have recalled all these cvt transmissions. I pulled it from my daughter to have her stop driving it due to I didn’t want her stranded on the side of the road while Nissan dances around my issue and other customers’ issues with these junky transmissions. I put a lot of faith in the Nissan brand to only be soured by this experience.

Transmission went out on the Freeway and from 75 miles per hour went to 15 miles per hour,scary situation and thank God we made to the shoop, and the mechanic charge me 6,000dlls for the replacement of my transmission,no fear .

My daughter and I were driving home from work when I heard a whining noise that proceeded to get louder the more I drove. We came to a stop light and the noise stopped. When I proceeded to drive again, the brake felt like it stuck and then within a minute, it let up. About a mile down the road, the whining noise got extremely loud and then we heard a loud pop like a tire popped but it didn't. The car started jerking so I pulled over. It sat for a few and when my husband got to us, it was driving ok again. I took it to the repair shop where they told me there is a internal component in the transmission that's failing. The mechanic said this is a common problem with these cars so why haven't you guys issued a recall on the cvt?? Something needs...

When traveling at highway speeds 65 MPH, the car stopped accelerating and eventually stalled. There was no warning on the dash.

The car begins to slow down and not accelerate. Then when car is pulled over, turned off and restarted it goes back to driving normal. Happens about 3 times per day. Almost caused a pile up on highway because cars had to wait for me to Pull over on shoulder.

As I was driving, steadily pressing on my gas, and I felt the car stopping. The car sounded like it was in neutral and I was pressing on the gas but it didn’t make a difference. I pulled over put it in park, then drive again. The problem persisted. I turned off the car and then it drove regularly. This has occurred 2 times already. I use premium gasoline and get oil changes regularly. This seems like a transmission problem. I’m very scared this might happen when I’m on a highway.

EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE MY 2017 NISSAN ROGUE, it acts up at the worst times when I'm trying to cross a busy street with oncoming traffic, sometimes very high speed, I cannot get sufficient acceleration!! I HAVE COME SO CLOSE TO GETTING HIT THAT NOW I AM CONVINCED, IN A MATTER OF "WHEN", THAT I WILL BE HIT!! I am aware that You and Nissan are aware of the CVT being a problem that no one wants to take responsibility for. I'm keeping this report so "when I get hit" a lawsuit will be forthcoming. (Even if I die) I've instructed family to sue if I parish.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle was jerking and stalling. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked, and after restarting, failed to shift gear and became inoperable. The contact stated that various unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then towed to an independent mechanic, where it remained awaiting the repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 116,000.

I have just purchased the car and have not driven it over 100 miles, and when the car heated up, it would not shift out of first gear. I took it to the Nissan dealership because when I called them they said there is a known issue with this CVT transmission and Nissan is replacing or repairing them at no charge. They inspected the car, and since there were no error codes they informed me that they could not do anything for me. The car cannot be driven and I do not know what to do.

While driving home on an expressway, the vehicle began to slow down and the engine rpm’s began to increase to about 5000 rpm. The vehicle did not have any more power, and would only go about 5-10 mph. This put my daughter in danger, not being able to keep up with traffic, and quickly decelerating in traffic. The dealership has confirmed that the CVT transmission is failed, and the vehicle is currently still at the dealership awaiting replacement of the transmission. There were no messages or warning lamps when this suddenly occurred, and there were no prior warnings that anything was about to fail.

The transmission had been slipping a little here and there. Finally went out and had a dealership say there was a warranty up to 84,000 miles. Mine is under 70,000. Now I'm told the warranty is void because the fluid was the wrong color but Sorg Nissan (Warsaw, IN) will not give me any straight answers, such as the manufacturer's suggested transmission fluid. The guy I first started connecting with no longer is employed there and they want to act like it was his fault for letting me know there was a warranty. Going on 2 months without my car.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 MPH and stopping for a traffic light, the vehicle stalled and then lunged forward. The contact depressed the brake pedal and stopped the vehicle. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle; however, the failure continued with the vehicle lunging while depressing the accelerator. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact towed the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 77,000.

This car is known for transmission issues and there should have been a recall already. All that’s happened is a warranty extension and a class action lawsuit. My check engine light came on and I took this car to 4 mechanics who couldn’t determine the issue. The car stalled out in the middle of driving on a highway and while making a turn. I could have been hit. This car is DANGEROUS and Nissan is well aware of the transmission issues with this car. They knew before I even bought this car. These cars should have been pulled off of the road and repaired before allowing any more people to risk their lives driving in them. I called a transmission shop who won’t even service my car because he’s done so many of these Nissan rogues and can’t even get the parts to fix them. There’s a shortage of parts...

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked with the driver's side door ajar, the vehicle rolled in reverse. The contact jumped into the vehicle but was hit by the door and dragged approximately 100 feet before stopping. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact sustained injuries to his back and medical attention was provided. The contact had a prior clavicle injury. A police report was filed. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was notified but no additional assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 132,000.

My Nissan Rogue 2017 constantly stalls when I accelerate after having to stop on a hill. I live in Pennsylvania and there are a lot of hills. It mostly happens when I have my air conditioning on. I go to accelerate and the car lags. The worst occasion was on 8/20/2022. I was stopped at a light going up hill and pressed the gas pedal and it lagged for about 30 seconds. The RPM shot up and my car was only going like 30 in a 35 even with me accelerating. Once I was stopped at a light on a flat road, I turned my car off and it was fine. This consistently happens when I’m traveling up hills and I cannot always turn my car off. It’s terrifying when I’m trying to make a left turn off a hill near my house and I accelerate but don’t move fast...

My Nissan 2017 rogue has unexpectedly lost speed (from 60 mph to less than 20 mph in less than 5 sec) on the highway with no chance of recovery and little time for other drivers to avoid my Nissan Rogue. This is an extremely dangerous scenario. There is no way to correct the situation without stopping car completely and restarting the engine on the highway.
