about a year after I had the car (2019), the A/C went out. We fixed it at the Nissan dealership. Periodically, the engine would stop when I went reversed. This mainly happened in the summer.

About two years ago, the A/C went out again. I noticed both the stalling in reverse and the A/C not working (not sure if related). The engine stalled and smoke came out of the engine. We fixed the engine--basically saying that it was an A/C issue. Last year during the summer months, the same thing happened. We again, fixed the A/C. This year, it happened again.

The transmission is rattling and affecting the acceleration ability. It feels like the car is stuck in first gear.

I was driving my car turning into driveway and the car suddenly shut off mid way. Second incident happened the following day. Turning into a driveway and the car shut off. Both times I put the car in park and pressed the start button and it started right up. Monthly prior during the winter the car shut off in very cold weather while coming to a rolling stop at red lights. This happened about a dozen times. I took to personal mechanic, they said they could not find anything wrong. He said let the car warm up more before driving. When I did so it did not shut off as often, but still did occur.

Specific code "CVT Judder P17F0". Nissan customer service #1800-647-7261 refuses to acknowledge defect. Claims only transmissions manufactured within a certain area qualified for replacement. For the record, I have zero check engine lights and there were no warning signs of potential transmission issues.

Transmission failure. While driving on the expressway my speed (while set in cruise control) began to fluctuate. The RPMs dropping then rising and the car jerking. I exited the expressway and stopped for a red light. When the light turned green I accelerated but went no where, you could here the engine revving but there was no forward motion. The engine caught after a couple seconds and I immediately went to my local auto shop. They confirmed transmission failure. Cost of $5600 repair. No warning lights on dash, no prior car issues. Only 168,000 miles.

The entire time I have owned the car, there have been periods of time where I did not get sufficient power relative to how hard I was pressing the gas pedal. It did not happen with great frequency and the dealership didn't seem to think it was a concern when I brought it up to them. In the last few months the problem has becom…

The entire time I have owned the car, there have been periods of time where I did not get sufficient power relative to how hard I was pressing the gas pedal. It did not happen with great frequency and the dealership didn't seem to think it was a concern when I brought it up to them. In the last few months the problem has become more pronounced, with me having to pull into the right lane instead of crossing an intersection because the vehicle did not respond with the appropriate amount of power and I would not have been able to safely clear the intersection with how little power was being transmitted.

My vehicle has stalled twice now while I am driving. The dash lights all turn off and the car just stops going. Once it stops, I can’t start the car unless I physically remove the key, put it in park and start the car again

My car overheated. when I took it to my mechanic, he let me know my cooling fan assembly needs to be replaced, there is not a single cooling fan assembly for a 2017 Nissan rogue sport SL available in the continental US. Nissan has no idea when they will have the part available again, and neither do any of the aftermarket vendors such as AutoZone. This leads me to think that every single rogue in the country has had a problem with the cooling fan. I understand supply chain issues, but this is ridiculous.

Feb 16, 2023

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2014-2020 Rogue and 2017-2022 Rogue Sport vehicles equipped with a jackknife style ignition key. The jackknife key may collapse into a folded position while driving.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: Driver contact with a key in the collapsed position could inadvertently shut off the vehicle while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the vehicle shuts off while driving, the air bags may not deploy in a crash as intended, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy: Dealers will insert a spacer into the key slot of the jackknife key, free of charge. Interim notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed March 29, 2023. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 30, 2023. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R22C5.
