“The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving approximately 15 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle shut off unexpectedly. The vehicle was restarted, and moments later there were two popping sounds coming from underneath the vehicle before the vehicle unexpectedly decelerated and was parked. The contact exited the vehicle to inspect the vehicle and discovered smoke and flames coming from underneath the middle of the vehicle. The Fire Department was immediately called to the vehicle scene, and moments later the smoke and flames were coming from underneath the hood of the vehicle. The flames were extinguished. A Police report was filed at the scene, and the vehicle was towed to the residence. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The failure mileage was 235,000.”

“My transmission failed. There was a recall on the transmission, that I am not sure I received. Nissan Consumer Affairs opened a case but will not assist me with the cost of the transmission. I have to pay 5621.00 to have a new transmission installed. Nissan admitted had a faulty part in the 2014-2017 Rogues - the CVT. The transmission was slipping and it could have led to an accident, but did not. The vehicle was inspected by the Nissan dealership and they are installing a new transmission. Is there anything you can do to assist me. Thanks”

The contact stated upon picking up the vehicle and driving 40 MPH, the vehicle decelerated inadvertently and stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and continued driving however, the failure reoccurred increasingly while driving. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled and failed to restart after several attempts. The vehicle was towed to another local Pep Boys where it was diagnosed that there was corrosion around the battery and the uncleaned engine oil caused the mechanical failure. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.”
