2012 Nissan Rogue

While operating the vehicle on a busy road in rush our traffic, the vehicle would not accelerate but the engine was running and the RPMs were very high when trying to go. Suddenly the vehicle the lurched forward; luckily no one was in front of me as my car would not more at first, the vehicle would only go 20 mph and no faster. I was in a 40 mph lane and put my hazards on as I did not know what was happening. Made it to a stop light and once the light changed the same happened as the car would not move then lurched into a gear i guess and I could only go 20 mph. The Check Engine light was not on, but did come on a short minute later. While making a left hand turn from a stop, the vehicle would not move when pressing the gas, then vehicle lurched forward and would barley move as oncoming traffic was coming my way. I drove the Vehicle less then 15 miles to get to a auto repair shop from the very 1st time this started to happen. I was informed I needed a new Transmission. This was a scary and unsafe driving experience and this ended up being very costly.

My car is jerking/bucking when I accelerate. I was told by 2 mechanics that it is due to a transmission issue. I also was told that they have seen this issue on several other Nissan Rogues. I believe this is a safety issue because jerking while driving is dangerous because this action might cause an accident and endanger the occupants of the car and other cars driving nearby. There was a light that came on immediately when the car started to buck. This frightened me because I never experienced this before, especially since I had my car checked a month and a half prior. I am now scared to drive it due to my safety and others, but also doing more damage to the vehicle. This car has had transmissions issues in other various years. Obviously there is a defect with the CVT transmission for more years than what has been reported. My car is available to be inspected upon request.

Censor light came on making the vehicle unsafe to drive and unable to be inspected and the manufacturer said it's a known defect with the sensor but is not under recall so they are not under obligation to repair. Estimated costs to repair $3000. They said for year 2013 and beyond it was covered by a recall but not for my vin number

The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently decelerated while the RPM gauge increased. The contact was able to restart the vehicle to correct the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the dealer could not duplicate the failure. The dealer recommended that the contact replace the continuously variable transmission (CVT). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

There are a few things that I would like to report. I have mentioned these to dealership service centers and have been ignored in the past. I financed my vehicle in November of 2018. Everything was fine at first when soon after I started noticing that my blinkers , blink fast . I went in to get the bulbs changed and they were still blinking fast. One person said it could be electrical. Soon after that all of my dash lights stopped working. Then most concerning is that my passenger door just stopped working from the outside it won’t open from the outside you can hear it unlocking it can only be opened from the inside Now the driver door is Doing The same exact thing making this an extreme safety hazard.

CVT failed while on the interstate (70mph) and vehicle stopped accelerating. Gas pedal was unresponsive and the car rapidly slowed down while I attempted to to pull over on the side of the road. Cars surrounding were forced to brake, maneuver around. My 3 year old was also in the car. The issue was confirmed by the dealer as an issue with the CVT. There were recalls to transmissions in rogues made prior (2008-2010) and for years made after (2015?). I had the valve replaced per recommendation 2 years ago, and now I am dealing with the same issue for a second time. I attempted to pull out of my driveway, but 20ft out the car stopped accelerating again.
