There are 2 owner-reported speed control & cruise complaints for the 2020 Nissan Rogue Sportin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
There was about a handful of incidents in the almost 3 years that ive had this car where i am driving and suddenly the vehicle stops accelerating . the RPM shoots up and the speed stayed at 20mph. I took it to the Nissan dealership service center for a diagnostic and was told that there are no problems with my car.
ABOUT 50 MILES IN DURING A ROAD TRIP, CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED. SLUGGISH WHEN ACCELERATING, WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 40 MPH. GEAR WOULD NOT RELEASE TO REVERSE OR PUT INTO PARK TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. HAD TO FIND AN OPEN FIELD IN ORDER TO TURN AROUND AND DRIVE BACK HOME DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO REVERSE. PROCEEDED BACK WITH FLASHERS ON AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. WHEN I REACHED HOME, I PUSHED THE BUTTON TO POWER OFF THE VEHICLE, IT GAVE A WARNING THAT IT MUST BE IN PARK FIRST BUT I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE GEAR IN PARK AT THIS POINT. DURING THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT AND RETURNING HOME, THERE WAS NO WARNINGS PRESENT ON THE DASH. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH DURING THIS INCIDENT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC! I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN ON MONDAY. IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND JUST HIT 50,000 MILES. UPON RESEARCHING, THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH ROGUES OF CERTAIN YEARS, MINE INCLUDED IN 2020, WITH NISSAN.
