The check engine light was coming on and our mechanic assessed that the "transmission is slipping". He believed it was under warranty and told us to take it to the Nissan dealer. Nissan confirmed that the transmission/cvt needed replacement; however it was no longer under warranty. In Stringer v. Nissan North America, a settlement was reached in a class action lawsuit alleging that the CVT transmissions in Rogues from 2014 - 2018 were faulty. Nissan admitted no wrongdoing, but extended the warranty for replacement to 84,000 miles. My Nissan has 87,000 miles and both the local and National Nissan organizations refused to fix the problem. The problem with my car mirrors what the complaint in the class action lawsuit entails: there are severe delays when trying to accelerate and the engine revs. Both Nissan and our mechanic confirmed the problem. Both the local and national Nissan confirmed the issue with CVT, but said that our mileage made us ineligible. The problem did not start for us until last month when my car was already over 84,000 miles. I noticed the slow acceleration and revving noise in August, but my car had been inspected in July and our longtime mechanic found no issues. The engine malfunction light did not go on until Labor Day weekend 2022 when we had travelled out of state. I travel 54 miles, many of which are on the highway, each direction to work and I am extremely concerned for my safety. A new transmission will cost over $5,000 and I am incredulous that Nissan knows their transmission is faulty but is refusing to remedy the situation.
There is a bulge in the drivers side door. Every body shop I have brought it to has never seen it nor can explain how it happened
Transmission went out
Nissan knowingly manufactures vehicles with defective transmissions. This has been well documented as it has been the subject of several class-actions suites. Unfortunately, I was unaware of this issue until my own Transmission failed a week ago. Driving, even short distances became very dangerous, as the vehicle would suddenly fail to accelerate or shift into the proper gears.

On September 22, 2022, my car was hit from the rear. The car hit me so hard that their front end was totalled. On Nov. 28, 2022, the car dealership ( Nash Chevrolet) was able to fix my car from the accident and after fixing my car, they called to tell me my air bag light had came on. They couldn't find the issue, didn't think it was from the accident and stated that Nissan would need to fix it. Nissan is refusing to fix the air bag unless I pay for it out of pocket.

I am experiencing the same issues stated in the recent recall. My battery is draining fast, there is corrosive liquid on the left front side of my recently purchased vehicle and there is a white residue on the front outer part of the car. There is also corrosive material on the front brake and on the metal parts of the connection to the front left tire.
The transmission in my 2016 Nissan rogue with only 78,500 miles on it has gone out and will have to be replaced
Fuel gauge wasnt reading that the car was filled up. Then security lights came on in the car. Once the car was turned off, the steering wheel wouldnt lock and the car refused to start. Then random lights came on on the dashboard. You could shift the vehicle out of park and move it. The entire security system was malfunctioning. Vehicle was towed to nearest Nissan dealership in Bloomington, Indiana (where the car broke down). Nissan states it is the Body Control Module (BCM) and that they would not cover it. It is available for inspection at Community Nissan in Bloomington, Indiana. I felt our lives and the lives of others on the road could have been at risk if the vehicle decided to just shut off while we were driving, causing us to lose all power and crash into other drivers on the road.

The housing for the key fob does not lock in position causing the key to lose "connectivity" while driving.
For the past year, the front driver seat will jolt slightly forward upon braking, and jolt/click back upon accelerating. I began to notice it when I would start the car and start driving, because the seat would move back ever so slightly, even though the seat hadn’t been moved prior as I am the only one who drives the vehicle. And then upon braking, the seat would move slightly forward. It is a very unsettling feeling because it does not feel like the seat is secure and if an accident were to occur with enough force, it feels like the seat will come off the rails completely. The car has automatic, cloth seats on driver’s side. When the car is at rest, and you are sitting in the driver seat, if you move your body, forward and back, the seat feels unsteady and moves (it never moves up or down the rail it just feels like it “clicks” into a new spot). I have read multiple other complaints on other online forums about the driver seat of the 2016 Nissan rogue, and I believe that this is a major safety issue for the rails of the seat and being secure in the front driver’s seat. For reference, the current vehicle is around 70k miles. It has been noticeable for about a year.
Unknown Manufacturer Recall Number R21B9 NHTSA Recall Number 22V-024
Thankfully i have not been injured yet. But i brought a nissan Rogue 2016 and when driving for a while notice that sometimes i push on gas pedal and RPM goes up but car won"t move. Or sometimes it seems like transmission is slipping.my check engine light can on and will be taking to Nissan to diagnose the issue which according to what i been reading is a common issue for vehicle. i still have a loan on car and feel that its so unfair that this is a common issue for this car and under 100000. my car only has 68000ish miles and thats about the time the issue reported to have start around that mileage. The code that comes up for this issue is p00776 which is a solenoid b in or on my transmission.
The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving 10 MPH, there was an abnormal rattling sound coming from the vehicle, causing the vehicle to jerk. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer was not contacted. The contact stated he received a service bulletin regarding the CVT transmission. The manufacturer was contacted and notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 170,094.
When making a left turn the car lost power and the steering wheel jerked to the right (it was all split second). It regained power right after losing power. Also a few days before the steering lost power, my radio went off and came back on right after...like it rebooted itself automatically. The radio has done this a few times. I'm VERY afraid and concerned that my car will catch on fire one day.
The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that when the spare tire was installed, it caused a rear differential failure to occur with the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who diagnosed that the rear differential needed to be repaired or replaced due to the spare tire being too small for the vehicle resulting in the rear differential failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case regarding the matter. The approximate failure mileage was 76,801.
I received notification of NHTSA recall 22V-024 in the beginning of the year. In this notification it is stated that the repair is currently being developed by Nissan to remedy your vehicle and the remedy is anticipated to be available in Spring of 2022. It is now mid-August and there is still no remedy. I asked the Nissan dealer when i brought my car in for inspection back in February and they said there was no remedy yet. Now I just called Nissan Consumer Affairs and still no remedy. Everytime I am told I will receive a letter in the mail when a remedy is available. Its been 8 months which is more than a reasonable amount of time to pass without a remedy. I have experienced some of the conditions related to this recall (drivers power window inoperative) and I am worried every time I drive my car of it catching fire. My second complaint is for a long time now my Rogue has had issues with the transmission stalling, jerking, and lagging when trying to accelerate from a stop. Come to find out I was not the only one experiencing these issues and there was a class action lawsuit for these exact issues. This past week I receive a letter from Nissan saying my warranty on the CVT has been extended to 7 years/84,000 miles. Well I just hit 88,000. I called Nissan Consumer Affairs and they inform me yea there was a delay in sending out this letter but they still wont cover any repairs since I am over the 84,000 miles. If the CVT has these known issues and there was a class action lawsuit, why hasnt there been a recall for the affected models. I am not happy that I am driving around in a car that I dont feel safe in
I am writing because I received a letter stating that this would be resolve and new parts would be available by Spring or June 2022. This has not happened yet, and it is August 2022. I would like to know when new parts are going to be available for repair. I am afraid to drive my vehicle because of what might happen. My Toyota Rogue did the same thing and caught on fire. I was forced to buy another vehicle.

Saturday 08/06/2022 my 2016 Nissan Rogue caught fire as I was driving down a side street in Adrian, MI. 49221. Lights came on on my dash, it appeared to be every warning light, the car jerked me over as if I lost power steering and the car took over, my son and I could smell something hot. I put the vehicle in park as flames were coming from the engine compartment, my son was able to open his door and get out, my driver side door would not open and I had to climb out the driver side window! The fire department was called and after they were able to put out the fire as I watched my car literally melting, they told me it was an electrical fire. My car was then towed to Clift Buick GMC in Adrian, Michigan.
Electrical, power window failure, corrosion from recalled wiring parts could cause a fire in my vehicle. Problem confirmed by Nissan and car repair, Nissan does not have available parts to replace the recalled parts required to maintain safe driving.
My wife Lois (84) was driving the car. she was alone. The air bags on the passenger side exploded and sprayed her with its contents that appear to me to be deadly and can cause death or brain injury. The explosion caused her to move the car and she was bumped by a vehicle on the drivers side. That damage was very very slight. The big cost was the air bags. I have to pay for that because Allstate would not cover it because they said it was the air bags fault that they do not cover. I think that is correct. While the 7K cost hurts it is nothing compared to what this did to my wife. She is a very intelligent person with excellent memory. She ran our household paying all bills etc. Since the incident she has lost her short term memory. Now she need consent help with almost everything and we can no longer let her drive. The contact stated that his wife has suffered tremendously mentally due to the airbag explosion. There has been no assistance from the Nissan dealership or the insurance company, and the airbag company is still looking into the issue. As a result, the contact sold the vehicle as a loss.

While driving on freeway with speed of 60-65 the hood starts like bouncing up and down. I have a fear of it breaking loose from the latch and flying up toward the front windshield and blocking the drivers view to drive. I have not took it into a manufacturer due to time so I just decided to see on the app if there was a recall on this or if anyone else has the same experience

Our vehicle uses a CVT transmission and when driving the vehicle it will frequently get stuck in a lower gear that does not allow the vehicle to accelerate. This sometimes can get remedied by pulling over to side of the road if possible and then turning off the vehicle and turning it back on. Unfortunately, this is very dangerous because most of the times it occurs when we are in the middle of traffic or merging to another lane. The vehicle will not accelerate pass 40 mph and the rpm is very high. We have brought it up to the attention of Nissan but nothing is ever said about it. We believe this issue is very dangerous to owners of the Nissan Rogue and Nissan also has a history of issues with CVT on earlier models. We believe that the issue is being ignored by Nissan to repair or replace the CVT transmission on these models.
We have a 2016 Nissan Rogue that is under the Recall ID. 22V-024. We have the water damage and that caused the wiring harness to malfunction. Nissan Dealership fixed the Harness problem but not fix the cause of this happening. We are getting water seeping up from the Drivers side floor. I Shop Vac and use a fan to dry it out but the water returns. On the recall letter from Nissan it states in Bold lettering #1 " Please stop driving your vehicle immediately and call Nissan." #2 "Park your vehicles outdoors and away from other vehicles or structures."By not fixing the root cause of the problem the harness will malfunction again which could lead to a fire inside the vehicle which is quite a safety issue. Nissan is aware of this problem but is refusing to fix the problem. Nissan Dealership had this vehicle in there possession for 5 weeks in July, 20222, into August, 2022,

vehicle has turned off while driving, and while stopped. Wiper stopped working, windows will sometimes work
June of 2022 I pressed my brakes and the brakes didn’t respond and went completely to the floor. I had the brakes and rotors replaced and over the next two months it did that 3-4 more times. August of 2022 this intermittent problem became more consistent and I took it to a mechanic, two other mechanics and they could not diagnose the problem since it wasn’t doing it for them. These people suggested I take it to the Nissan dealership. The Nissan dealer also said they couldn’t find anything wrong and bleed the brakes. They indicated that air was present in the brakes. The brakes responded appropriately for one week and began to intermittently not respond and go to the floor again. I had to pump the brakes for the car to stop. I took it back to The Nissan dealer and again they found nothing wrong. Next step was replacing the master cylinder and bled the brakes again. The brakes worked for 8 days before failing again. Over $1000 in work abs the brake are still not consistently working and I feel unsafe not knowing when the car will or will not stop.
