2012 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

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.

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.

Censor light came on making the vehicle unsafe to drive and unable to be inspected and the manufacturer said it's a known defect with the sensor but is not under recall so they are not under obligation to repair. Estimated costs to repair $3000. They said for year 2013 and beyond it was covered by a recall but not for my vin number

An airbag light came on on the dashboard of the vehicle. The Nissan Dealership diagnosed the “D/S AIRBAG MODULE OPEN” and quoted me for $1,614.64. They said the airbag was faulty and would not deploy in the event of an accident.
