At approximately 68,000 miles and in April 2021, my 2017 Nissan Rogue SL began exhibiting a lag in acceleration from a complete stop. Upon pressing the accelerator, there would be a 3-4 second delay before the engine and rpms would engage and the car would simply crawl forward in that time. I felt the need to try pumping the gas pedal to try to get it to go but that didn't help. After several seconds, it would accelerate and the rpms would go up normally. After doing this three to four times after complete stops, the car goes into "limp home mode," in which it will not shift gears or accelerate above 45 mph. Stopping and turning off the engine, waiting 45-90 seconds, and then restarting almost always resets the car so that it will perform normally again for a little while. But it always recurs, especially if I spend any time idling, such as at a traffic light or in a school pickup line. This is very dangerous, as I am not able to count on my car to get me through traffic when turning onto a road or crossing a road at intersections. I fear being unable to get out of the way of oncoming traffic with that delay in accleration. The Nissan dealership mechanics have looked at the car for this problem twice and have been unable to resolve the issue at this time. They say it could have something to do with the electrical harness, which is costly to repair and the car is no longer under warranty. The mechanics have been unable to recreate the problem, though it happens frequently in daily use and occurs more often in warm weather than in cool or cold weather. The engine, however, does not register overheating. There is no check engine light when this happens.

AIR BAGS
The airbag light turned on without any accidents happening, went to the dealership and they charged me for diagnosing the problem then they quoted me 3000 usd + to repair. The car is 48,000 miles with clean title and zero accidents, having the airbag light on without accidents means nothing but a manufacturer’s fault

STRUCTURE:BODY
I was driving on highway at approximately 60 mph, when the hood opened spontaneously obstructing my view, and greatly increasing my likelihood of a catastrophic crash. I was able to see under raised hood, due to a built-in gap, and safely exit highway. When closing, damage sustained to body surrounding hood. There were no audio or visual arms that such an event would occur, nor that the hood may have been open. No police report was filed at the time, and a mechanic is evaluating now. (I was the driver, but am not the owner of the vehicle. Owner is dealing with mechanics at this time.)

While driving at low speed in Mountains, transmission over heated and went into failsafe mode which prohibited shifting. In steep Mountain roads inability to downshift causes excessive use of brakes and could result in dangerous speeds.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH with the cruise control activated, the vehicle independently came to an abrupt stop as the crash sensor warning light illuminated on the instrument panel.

After restarting the vehicle, the contact resumed normal driving with the cruise control activated and the same failure occurred again. The contact called a dealer where an appointment was made to inspect the vehicle. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000.

I have not had it checked by a certified mechanic, however I have a witness who drove my vehicle for 2 days experienced the same problem more than once. After driving the vehicle for a while, let's say 30 minutes, when I try to accelerate from a stopped position, when pressing on the gas pedal, it does not go. It doesn't stall, it just won't go as normal. I keep pumping the gas pedal and eventually it will go, and sometimes lurches forward. It is unsafe.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
I drive a 2017 Nissan Rogue that has just under 65K miles on it as of today. Without a prior indication of a problem from the car's warning system, I suddenly began losing transmission power and experiencing significant engine hesitation while driving yesterday, August 23, 2021. Specifically, the car would hesitate at least 3 seconds and sometimes as long as 8 seconds before engaging, thus putting me in great danger in traffic and on public roads. Additionally, the engine would begin revving up from 1 to 4+ rpms while simply trying to maintain a speed of 40 mph. This caused me to constantly have to remove my foot entirely from the accelerator, further putting me in harm's way while in traffic on both residential and highway roads. I lost control of my vehicle. I immediately proceeded home as carefully as I could manage, stored the vehicle overnight in the garage, and took it to the dealership first thing in the morning. To my great surprise and disappointment, the Nissan adviser informed me that the diagnostic codes received were P0776 and P1715, both of which were addressed in previous Nissan Service Bulletins in both 2018 and 2021. Furthermore, these codes indicate specific issues with the CVT - something that has plagued Nissan for years and continues to be the center of many lawsuits and causes for extended warranty programs. In fact, I experienced CVT transmission failure in a 2015 Nissan Rogue that I owned previous to this one. My sister also experienced the same safety hazard in her Nissan Rogue. This is an ongoing and hugely unsafe problem. Currently, my vehicle is at the dealership, awaiting response from Nissan Corporation as to whether they will replace/fix at no cost, considering the blatant CVT issues and the fact that my powertrain warranty expired less than 5k miles ago and that several other models with the exact same issue have been granted extended warranties, etc. This should be at no expense to me. I had my car inspected last month by Nissan!

POWER TRAIN
This vehicle was purchased at a Carmax dealership in October of 2020. During the test drive it was observed that when accelerating and slowing, the car would jolt back and forth. The dealer told us that was "just how hybrids drive". It has since been inspected by an EV certified mechanic and the jolting was actually due to a failing transmission. We purchased the car and continued to drive this dangerous vehicle for 9 months.

The sunroof of the 2017 Nissan Rouge has drains that are very inadequate and in my opinion defective. My 2017 Nissan Rouge had white mold growing in the carpet of the floor board before I discovered the floor board was wet under the mats (which were mostly dry.) There was no warning or instructions that the sunroof drains had to be cleaned periodically. This mold growing under the mats is a clear health hazard in the air inside of this car. It goes undetected for some time because the leak is insidious and not under any sort of recall. I have had cars with sunroofs for years and never experienced any sort of leak problem like this

Front passenger door handle not opening door. You have to try more than a few times before or actually opens. Very scary if we need to exit the vehicle in case of an emergency. I realized this about a week after I bought the vehicle.
