FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Reported this issue to NHTSA 12/2018. Around 8/2022 incident started - full tank of gas, range 280 miles (typically 320 miles). Following daily drive/use the fuel gauge and electronic display not in sync with distance/miles remaining. I re-fueled a full tank end of August + early September (engine light pops on display) and the range as of today states 26 miles remaining (gauge should be in red area) however the gauge is at 1/4 tank. The fuel gauge and electronic display are inaccurate and erratic leaving me unsure how much fuel I actually have remaining.

I spoke with Nissan telling her my 2012 Nissan Rogue which I bought new, is currently having CVT transmission issues at 115000 miles. She told me, there was nothing Nissan is willing to do for me after 60000 miles. I am highly concerned as not only is Nissan unwilling to stand behind their product but also unwilling to do the right thing. I have followed their service book and completed all scheduled maintenance as directed. I stated I would be submitting a complaint in writing. Given I have twin 5 year old’s and if we were to be in accident then my husband has documentation to submit I had previously informed Nissan of the existing issue which is also well known and documented. Also, that shall Nissan choose not to honor my request by replacing my transmission I shall have no choice but to contact the BBB and A. G. as I do not want any other family to be injured or killed as result of Nissan choosing not to do the right thing. The issue is, while driving on the freeway, the engine will not go into second gear and will not go faster than 10mph after stopping. This is a safety issue which Nissan is aware of. The way to correct the issue is to stop the engine and let it cool for approx 1 hour then you can drive again. As stated on Google, “Transmission Problems are Common With the 2012 Rogue and Can Make for Expensive Repairs. Nissan's continuously variable transmission is known to be problematic, especially around the 100,000-mile mark. Most NHTSA complaints relate to problems with the CVT.Mar 30, 2022” The 2012 Nissan Rogue is reported to still have issues with its transmission and engines. The problems are largely similar, with acceleration problems being the most common. The problems can occur as early as 60,000 miles, and sometimes the vehicle will stall while driving.Jun 22, 2022 If Nissan is aware of the issue with the CVT transmission, why are they not doing something about it? Are they waiting for a lawsuit or a death before they do anything? Help

When driving on the highway the vehicle will desegregate. Check engine light goes on and off and received 5 different codes for the transmission. Tire 🛞 system comes on and off. The engine overheats a lot especially on hot climates. I drove from New York to North Carolina and had to stop 5 times on the side of the road so the car could cool down.

CVT transmission. Car seems to lose power when accelerating from a stop or entering traffic. Shudders, shakes seems to go to limp mode. I read up on Nissan CVT issues. Warranty's have been extended on year before mine (2012) and those years after me. Called Nissan Corporate. They said they had few complaints on Rogues. I said are you serious? I've read about plenty of complaints. So why have you extended warrantys? Advised they couldn't help me. First Nissan for me and last. Have never had any transmission issues with my vehicles over the years and I'm 74. Other cars NOTHING major just regular maintenance. Disappointed with Nissan they know they have a major issue with CVT transmissions and don't stand behind their product. My car is sitting in the garage. I'm afraid to drive it and around $5000 to replace transmission. It's a 2012 Nissan Rogue SL. Please look into this issue.

While operating the vehicle on a busy road in rush our traffic, the vehicle would not accelerate but the engine was running and the RPMs were very high when trying to go. Suddenly the vehicle the lurched forward; luckily no one was in front of me as my car would not more at first, the vehicle would only go 20 mph and no faster. I was in a 40 mph lane and put my hazards on as I did not know what was happening. Made it to a stop light and once the light changed the same happened as the car would not move then lurched into a gear i guess and I could only go 20 mph. The Check Engine light was not on, but did come on a short minute later. While making a left hand turn from a stop, the vehicle would not move when pressing the gas, then vehicle lurched forward and would barley move as oncoming traffic was coming my way. I drove the Vehicle less then 15 miles to get to a auto repair shop from the very 1st time this started to happen. I was informed I needed a new Transmission. This was a scary and unsafe driving experience and this ended up being very costly.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
My car is jerking/bucking when I accelerate. I was told by 2 mechanics that it is due to a transmission issue. I also was told that they have seen this issue on several other Nissan Rogues. I believe this is a safety issue because jerking while driving is dangerous because this action might cause an accident and endanger the occupants of the car and other cars driving nearby. There was a light that came on immediately when the car started to buck. This frightened me because I never experienced this before, especially since I had my car checked a month and a half prior. I am now scared to drive it due to my safety and others, but also doing more damage to the vehicle. This car has had transmissions issues in other various years. Obviously there is a defect with the CVT transmission for more years than what has been reported. My car is available to be inspected upon request.

Estimated costs to repair $3000. They said for year 2013 and beyond it was covered by a recall but not for my vin number

CVT failed while on the interstate (70mph) and vehicle stopped accelerating. Gas pedal was unresponsive and the car rapidly slowed down while I attempted to to pull over on the side of the road. Cars surrounding were forced to brake, maneuver around. My 3 year old was also in the car. The issue was confirmed by the dealer as an issue with the CVT. There were recalls to transmissions in rogues made prior (2008-2010) and for years made after (2015?). I had the valve replaced per recommendation 2 years ago, and now I am dealing with the same issue for a second time. I attempted to pull out of my driveway, but 20ft out the car stopped accelerating again.

There are a few things that I would like to report. I have mentioned these to dealership service centers and have been ignored in the past. I financed my vehicle in November of 2018. Everything was fine at first when soon after I started noticing that my blinkers , blink fast . I went in to get the bulbs changed and they were still blinking fast. One person said it could be electrical. Soon after that all of my dash lights stopped working. Then most concerning is that my passenger door just stopped working from the outside it won’t open from the outside you can hear it unlocking it can only be opened from the inside Now the driver door is Doing The same exact thing making this an extreme safety hazard.
