2015 Nissan Rogue Power Train

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE JERKED, LUNGED, AND LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION AFTER THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE AND WAS TURNED OFF FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 15-084A. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 119,000.

WHEN DRIVING AND THE CAR HITS ~35MPH, THE CVT CONTINUOUSLY LOSES POWER AND BEGINS CAUSING VIBRATIONS AND SHUDDERING. CAR HAS ~64,000 MILES.

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 62912 MILES. SHUDDER, JERKING, POWER LOSS, WHINING NOISE, LURCHING. THE CAR 'JUMPING' FORWARD ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME ON THE THOMAS JOHNSON BRIDGE DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. . THE SUDDEN POWER LOSS CAUSED GREAT CONCERN FOR SAFETY ON THE I-95 BELTWAY. I AM GRATEFUL NO ONE GOT HURT.

WHEN I SHIFT INTO DRIVE OR REVERCE IT TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO INGAGE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A LOUD WHINING NOISE WAS DETECTED COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE WORSENED WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO LEE NISSAN (793 CENTER ST, AUBURN, ME 04210, (207) 784-5441) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND A DECISION WAS PENDING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,700.

WHEN I STARTED MY CAR TO LEAVE WORK IT STARTED FINE. I PUT IT IN REVERSE BUT THERE WAS A DELAY OF A FEW SECONDS. THEN ANOTHER DELAY TO GO INTO DRIVE. THE NEXT DAY I HAD A DR APPOINTMENT I COULDN'T MISS SO I START MY CAR & THE SAME DELAYS. I GO TO LEAVE THE DR OFFICE & MY CAR WOULDN'T GO IN ANYWHERE. I SAT IN THE CAR IN DRIVE FOR 10 MINUTES & IT NEVER ENGAGED.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AT JUST OVER 70K MILES WITH P1740 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID INDUCTIVE SIGNATURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN FOR REPAIR, AND AFTER INSPECTION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE MATERIALS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION WERE DETERIORATING, DAMAGING THE BEARINGS AND CAUSING FLUID LEAKAGE AND INADEQUATE PRESSURES IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS REPAIR IS COSTING ALMOST $3000 AND IS WELL BEFORE STANDARD EXPECTED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES FOR THE TRANSMISSION.

THERE IS SOMETHING DESPERATELY WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION/POWER IN MY VEHICLE. I LOSE POWER WHEN GOING UP HILLS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE CONTINUAL, LIKE UP A MOUNTAIN PASS! THERE IS A SUPER HIGH PITCHED NOISE WHEN THE CAR RUNS FOR OVER AN HOUR, LIKE SQUEALING. TOLD THERE IS NO PROBLEM AT NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THIS IS NOT TRUE. THE NOISE HAPPENS IN EVERY GEAR WHEN IT STARTS AND DOESN'T STOP UNTIL THE CAR COOLS AGAIN. THE POWER IN VEHICLE THAT IS LOST UP HILLS, WILL KEEP IT FROM EVER GOING ABOVE 60 UNTIL SEVERAL HOURS LATER. THE POWER IS LOST IN THE WHOLE VEHICLE, IT LAGS AND SOMETIMES NOTHING HAPPENS DURING THIS POWER LOSS WHEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. THE LOSS OF POWER IS SO MUCH THAT IT CAN'T CONTINUE TO GO UP HILLS SOMETIMES AND I'VE HAD TO PULL OVER! VERY SCARY ON A MOUNTAIN PASS!

THERE IS A RECALL ON THE NISSAN ROUGE 2015 ON NISSAN RECALL PAGE RELATING TO REPROGRAMMNG OF CVT TRANSMISSION FROM 8TH OF DECEMBER 2016 BUT THIS ISN'T ON YOUR PAGE. MY TRANSMISSION WENT AND WAS TOLD IT IS OVER THE MILEAGE WARRANTY AND WHEN ASKED WAS THEIR A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE WAS TOLD EMPHATICALLY NO HOWEVER ON INVESTIGATION THERE IS TWO RECALLS. WHEN I LATER CONTACTED THEM WITH THIS INFORMATION THEY SAID THEY SENT OUT A LETTER. I GOT NO LETTER AND WHEN I SAID SEND THE LETTER TO MY EMAIL ACCOUNT THE EMPLOYEE STATED HE HAD NO ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION SO HOW CAN HE SAY A LETTER WAS SENT OUT. NISSAN ARE CONTINUALLY PUTTING THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS INTO CARS FOR YEARS KNOWING THEY ARE NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE AND THERE IS NO FIX FOR THEM. YOU JUST NEED TO GOOGLE NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE TO SEE THE DEVASTATION THEY ARE INFLICTING ON PEOPLE

VEHICLE LOSES POWER. THIS IS RANDOM BUT THE ESP LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON WHEN IT HAPPENS. THIS PROBLEM IS WORSE ON INCLINES. THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE. CAR HESITATES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. YOU CAN HAVE THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WON'T GO, OR BARELY MOVES.

GEAR SHIFT CAME OFF IN HAND AND WOULD ONLY GO TURNING AROUND IN DRIVEWAY GEAR SHIFT KNOB CAME OFF IN HAND AND WOULD ONLY SHIFT FROM NEUTRAL TO DRIVE. DEALER TOLD ME WAS NOT COVERED BY ENGINE DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY BECAUSE WAS NOT AN INTERNAL PART. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW AND HAD ONLY 37K ON IT.

86,000 AND THE CVT TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE REPLACED/REBUILT. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL SHOPS AND THIS CVT TRANSMISSION ON THE 2016 NISSAN ROGUE IS KNOWN FOR HAVING PROBLEMS AND COMMONLY HAS TO BE REPLACED. COST OVER $3000

DRIVING ON I15 NORTH, TRAVELING UPHILL THE CAR LOST POWER TRAVELING 80 MPH SLOWED TO 65 MPH. NO ACCELERATION , TOP OF THE GRADE AND THE CAR RESUMED IT'S NATURAL THRUST. NO PROBLEMS AFTERWARD.

AFTER DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC ALL DAY THE ROGUE WOULD NOT MOVE AS I WAS HEADING HOME FOR THE DAY. I BOUGHT THE ROGUE NEW IN 2015 AND IN OCTOBER 2016 THIS HAPPENED. TOOK TO A DEALERSHIP AND WORK WAS DONE. CAR OK UNTIL: SEPTEMBER 2017 THE ROGUE WAS SHIFTING LATE AND NOT DOWN SHIFTING GOING DOWNHILL. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP. NISSAN SAID JUST TO DRAIN SOME OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND PUT IN NEW TRANSMISSION FLUID.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRANSMISSION BLEW OUT, CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PASS 40 MILES AN HOUR, ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 7 DAYS!!

THERE IS A VIBRATION NOTICEABLE IN THE FLOOR, PEDALS AND STEERING WHEEL AT AROUND 1250 ENGINE RPM WHENEVER THE CAR SPEED IS STEADY. IT CORRESPONDS TO ABOUT 45-50 MPH WHEN DRIVING IN ECO MODE. IT HAPPENS WHILE CRUISING AT STEADY SPEEDS ON STRAIGHT OR CURVED ROADS. I HAVE COMPLAINED TWO OR MORE TIMES TO THE DEALER AND NISSAN USA AND THE ONLY REPLY I HAVE RECEIVED IS THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THAT MODEL. OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM ON INTERNET FORUMS. I AM AFRAID THIS VIBRATION WILL AFFECT THE LONG TERM RELIABILITY OF THIS CAR.

MY NISSAN ROGUE HAS A VIBRATION DEFECT, TOOK TO WHARTON AUTO GROUP IN PARKERSBURG W VA THIS IS THE DEALER THAT I PURCHASED ROGUE FROM , DON'T KNOW IF THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY DEFECT . DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NO FIX. DEFECT OCCURS FROM 10 MPH UP .. *TR

MY CAR STARTED TO REV TO OVER 4000 RPMS AT 30 MPH IT WAS LIKE IT WAS STOCK IN LOW FOR OVER 3 MILES I HAD TO PULL OVER STOP THE CAR AND TRY IT AGAIN I WAS UNABLE TO GET IT TO RUN NORMAL I TOOK IT RIGHT TO NISSAN SERVICE THEY CHECKED THE CAR OUT TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. THEY ASKED ME IF I HAD IT IN LOW I TOLD HIM THAT A BIG D WAS SHOWING SO IT WAS IN DRIVE AND I WAS TOLD THEY SEE THAT AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES THEY WOULD NOT GIVE AND PAPER WORK FOR THE SERVICE THAT WAS DONE IF ANY. THERE IS PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION THIS IS THE 2ND TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME BUT IT CLEARED UP AFTER A LITTLE.
