“There was about a handful of incidents in the almost 3 years that ive had this car where i am driving and suddenly the vehicle stops accelerating . the RPM shoots up and the speed stayed at 20mph. I took it to the Nissan dealership service center for a diagnostic and was told that there are no problems with my car.”

NHTSA complaint #11557938, filed 2023-12

“About 50 miles in during a road trip, CVT transmission failed. Sluggish when accelerating, would not accelerate past 40 MPH. Gear would not release to reverse or put into park to shut the vehicle off. Had to find an open field in order to turn around and drive back home due to not being able to reverse. Proceeded back with flashers on at a low rate of speed. When I reached home, I pushed the button to power off the vehicle, it gave a warning that it must be in park first but I was able to put the gear in park at this point. …”

NHTSA complaint #11547740, filed 2023-10

“The contact owns a 2020 Nissan Rogue Sport. The contact stated that while driving 30–40 MPH uphill, the vehicle decelerated unexpectedly, and failed to accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle rolled backwards. The contact activated the hazard lights and repeatedly depressed the brake pedal, but the vehicle failed to stop, causing the rear of the vehicle to crash into the front of a trailing vehicle. The vehicle then completely shut off and became inoperable. No warning light was illuminated before or after the crash. No injuries were reported. …”

“Bought new in 2020, then after 24k miles, had rough idle, uneven acceleration, occasional lurching while decelerating. Check engine indicator, code p0301. Dealership diagnosed faulty transmission, said needed replacement, then took about 90 days to finish repairing the vehicle. Now, as I expected, 25k miles later, exactly the same situation, except so far the check engine light has not come on and diagnostic code was only obtained by checking OBDII data after noticing the return of symptoms. …”
