2017 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

My rear hatch door will not open manually or automatically due to torrential downpour that leaked into the rear hatch door while fully closed and locked. That rain water made its way into the electrical component causing the door to no longer operate or even open. The dealership is aware of the issue with several other vehicles of the same year make and model and have not put a recall out to fix the issue. So here I am, reporting the issue to you now in hopes to get a recall put out there so myself and other 2017 Nissan rogue owners can have the issue resolved. For the record, we have my car serviced every 5,000 miles so there were plenty of opportunities for the dealership to make us aware that there was the 1st issue on this car back in 2021, but they did not tell us or even ask if they could fix a known issue.

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.

AC HVAC driver side where the blend door slot for actuator is stripped. The AC is stuck at heater and with out any AC in this heat I almost pass out while driving and almost hit people in the side walk but since it has a curve it hit my right side bumper on a bushes.

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.

Nissan - started with delay acceleration while driving. Called our mechanic to set up appointment to see what was going on. When going to put the car in reverse to leave, the car floored forward and just missed hitting our house and electrical box! We were unable to get the vehicle to reverse, all gears brought the vehicle forward. We had to put in neutral gear and push the car backwards in order to drive down to our mechanic to have it looked at. Our local mechanic said the transmission needed to be replaced.. upon looking to see if this issue was reported by other consumers with a Nissan rogue sport; several complaints documented online of vehicle acceleration issues, especially on a highway and safety concerns. Seems that the transmission is an issue that needs to be addressed before someone is hurt or a crash occurs in our case our house almost being hit. I would like to report this issue with the 2017 Nissan rogue sports as a safety concern. My vehicle has under 100,000 miles and should not need a new transmission or have this safety arise is very concerning and I am looking for a resolution and coverage to fix this flaw with the transmission.

Automatic emergency braking is malfunctioning. It is available for inspection upon request. The car stops by itself while driving in traffic, putting myself and other drivers at risk. I have brought the vehicle to the dealership twice and they deny the problem. There is no warning leading up to the issue. It is a reoccurring random problem that happens while driving in stop-and-go traffic. When it occurs, the vehicle is paralyzed and I need to shut off the car and restart the car in the middle of traffic. The vehicle started malfunctioning like this approximately 3 years ago and it has become more frequent. It now occurs every time I commute in slow traffic. It is dangerous and there are reports online of many other drivers experiencing the same problem and local news reports.

Check engine light comes on and then the engine sputters as the car slowly shuts off. Safety at risk because it happened while I was on highway

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 coverage on the mileages (84000 miles). Hope the Nissan could improve the quality on CVT and extend its warranty to 84000 miles only.
