2016 Nissan Rogue problems

“While driving the car, it seemed to slip into neutral. We took it to the dealer who does all our maintenance on the car and was told we needed to replace the transmission. The cost would be 6046.45 plus tax. The car is 10 years old, but only has 58,714 miles on it. We contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs, and they only told us that the car is outside the extended warranty of 7 years Nissan offered as part of the Class Action Suit. We purchased the extended warranty of 7 years, 84,000 miles when we purchased the car. They actually offered us nothing. Based on all the complaints, suits and Class Action Suit, it is clear the Nissan Continuous Variable Transmission is inherently defective and a traffic safety hazard. We should be reimbursed for replacement of our transmission.”

“From time to time the accelleration hesitates. I have to press the accelerator very deeply before the car starts moving. Usually it happens when the car reaches a complete stop and takes off. It clears after the engine restarts and works normally until it happens again. It is very random, no correlation to heat/cold or time driving. This has been happening since the car passed thr 50k miles. It never happened before. I have a second nissan rogue 2018 that is doing exactly the same after it passed the 50k miles. Some glitch must be happening in the electical system after a certain milage. There must be some software issue as the engine restart clears the glitch.”

“VIN: [XXX] Vehicle: 2016 Nissan Rogue, 4WD, 2.5L 4-cylinder gasoline Incident date: [XXX] Mileage at failure: 888752 Component: Engine On [XXX], my 2016 Nissan Rogue would not start and had to be towed by AAA to an auto care shop. The shop Bartel's Auto Clinic III - Plainfield,IL , diagnosed internal engine failure. They found oil entering the combustion chambers and low compression on all 4 cylinders. The engine cannot be repaired and I was quoted approximately $13,000 for a complete engine replacement. The vehicle was stationary when this occurred — there was no crash, fire, or injury. I am filing this report so NHTSA can log a complete, sudden loss of engine function on this model and engine for defect research. If this type of internal failure occurred while driving, it would cause a complete loss of motive power. I checked my VIN and there is no open recall for this vehicle, and no engine recall for the 2016 Rogue. I have also reported this failure to Nissan Consumer Affairs. Below is the provide the shop's written diagnosis and replacement estimate [XXX]”

“My vehicle is included in the correct year range and shows the same symptoms as NHTSA ID Number: 16V911000. The airbag light is also on and I am worried that it will not operate properly in an accident. I contacted the local Nissan Dealer and they said there were no recalls on this vehicle. They also told me that no recalls had been completed on my vehicle. I am concerned that they either missed some VINs in the recall or that they have incorrect information. Nissan was not willing to help, I also contacted their Consumer Affairs.”
