“I have had my car for four years now, and early this last year, my engine light came on, had it checked out, and they stated I had a leak near my gas cap, so they advised me to purchase a new gas cap, because the suction was go on the old one, I did that, and the next day, I though came back on, I went back to them, and they stated that the way that the leak is, overtime I got gas, I would need to push in the cap and that should seal it. …”
NHTSA complaint #10928960, filed 2016-12, 10,000 miles“When I was traveling on the highway for over an hour going 80 MPH, the vechicle quickly deccelerated and when I stepped on the pedal for gas all the way to the floor it did not accelerate. It was very scary since there were are traveling behind me and I was afraid they would crash into me. This has happened every time I take my vehicle on the highway traveling for over an hour for the past year. I am terrified I am going to cause a crash while traveling with my child, this is definitely a safety hazard.”
NHTSA complaint #10735609, filed 2015-07, 95,400 miles“Issue when driving at first for long periods. The car will start to slow down. Can't or won't accelerate. I call about this issue 2 years ago and I was dismissed. But I see there's a class action lawsuit in other states, describing the same issue with different Nissan models. The CVT...

NHTSA complaint #11202614, filed 2019-04, 50,000 miles“I was traveling on a highway on a long distance trip and after about 2 1/2 hours, my vehicle won't accelerate past 60 MPH as I was passing another vehicle. It was dangerous this happened because vehicles(including big trucks) behind me had to brake because of my unexpected no acceleration. There were no warning lights lit on the instrument panel to indicate anything wrong. After a the rest stop, the vehicle went back to normal but did it again while returning three days later and after driving for more than two and half hours. …”
NHTSA complaint #10622535, filed 2014-08, 123,400 miles“My Nissan Rogue will periodically stop acceleration while I am driving on the highway. I have the pedal pushed all the way down and the car will not accelerate. I will be going the posted speed and for no apparent reason, my car will start to de-accelerating on its own. After reading several complaints I am finding out that this is due to the CVT transmission in this particular model. This is a safety hazard to anyone who is driving this car. Also, I have noticed a loud noise when I put the car in gear, which I am reading is a sign that the transmission is going out. …”
