    Bought the vehicle in late august 2019 and in mid september started having issues with transmission. Took to a dealer and was told they had transmission issues but vehicle was out of warranty. On 11/3/2019 vehicle was involved in an accident, nobody was hurt and waiting for police report, but i think nissan should be held accountable and fixed before someone gets killed

    I've been have shaking and delays with the cvt transmission. It has altogether failed now and i've only owned the vehicle since the end 2017. It didn't last two years. There is no way i will replace the transmission only to have the same problems again. Shame on nissan for not valuing their customers enough to fix the cvt problems. If you've settled in court, there should definitely be a recall on all cvt…

    We were traveling down i 65 in kentucky at interstate speed when all of a sudden the car just lost power. The car would barely go 40mph. We were only a few miles from home so we limped the car home. I just purchased the car on the 18th 2 days before. The problem is the cvt transmission but the dealership refuses to admit that is what's wrong. Gillie hyde in glasgow ky. I'm a paralyzed army vet and live on a fixed…

    As i was driving home from work, my car lost acceleration. The vehicle will not speed up, even when i press the gas to the floor. The engine just revs up. I was going up a hill in a busy section of town and was almost in an accident as the person behind me did not realize i was unable to accelerate. Luckily i was able to pull to the side of the road.

    Car will stop accelerating when driving on the freeway for over an hour. This has happened about 10 times now. It only had about 50,000 miles on it the first time it happened. Several independent body shops could not detect the problem. In viewing other complaints, sounds like it's the transmission. Nissan needs to recall 2013 nissan rogues for this problem!
