NHTSA 22V-024, R21B90 Original case #11722884 Dealership, Stelly Nissan of Yorktown Heights, lied about the recall eligibility of my vehicle on March 5th, 2026. When I researched my own service records, 2014 Nissan Rogue VIN is actively included in Recall 22V-024 for the electrical connector fluid-wicking defect. The franchise dealership misinformed me regarding my vehicle's eligibility and failed to physically perform the mandatory wire harness remedy. They subsequently bypassed federal compliance by illegally marking the safety recall as closed or completed in the system without executing the physical repair. I have the physical invoice dated 11/25/2022, 0.00 parts/labor and visual inspection only, which contradicts what the recall procedure was defined as. Because the dealership skipped this mandatory safety remedy, the unaddressed fluid-wicking defect has now caused severe, cascading electrical system failures across multiple dashboard components. The vehicle remains an active electrical fire hazard as described in the original 22V-024 defect report. I am filing this new complaint specifically to report Dealer Recall Non-Compliance and Enforcement Violation. I request that NHTSA compel the manufacturer to execute the physical recall remedy immediately to mitigate the fire risk. As a matter of course, it is not currently a possibility to work with either the dealership, who has ceased communication with me, or Nissan Consumer Affairs who blatantly ignored that the recall w

The right front quick strut coil spring on our 2014 Nissan Rogue is broken. I called Nissan to ask if they would cover the repair because Rogues from 2014-2016 suffered this defect because the anti-corrosion coating was not done correctly. Nissan said our model was not covered by the recall. The broken spring was discovered during the yearly inspection, and the shop that did the inspection quoted us $840 plus tax to replace both front coil springs. I have part of the broken spring and will keep the other half once the repair is done if you need it.

While driving, I swerved slightly to avoid a dog and went into a shallow ditch less than one foot deep. There was no collision, no structural damage, and no repairs needed to the vehicle. Despite the extremely minor impact, both airbags deployed unexpectedly. This deployment was violent and occurred without a qualifying crash. I believe this indicates a faulty airbag sensor, airbag control module malfunction, or other defect in the airbag system.

Related to Recall 22V-024 (Campaign R21B9), main harness in electrical system has been corroded by chronic water intrusion into the vehicle. Water intrusion caused by defective drain plugs in front and rear of vehicle, prone by design to clog over time. Service Advisor at Stelly Nissan of Yorktown Heights has quoted me up to 10k in repair to fix components, which is not the fault of the vehicle owner. Said Advisor just passed this vehicle for NYS inspection on February 18th, 2026. Similar to above-cited campaign, electrical components in the vehicle have started to fail, e.g. radar system/lane departure, TPS, cameras and climate system. Vehicle now at risk for safety. *Please note: Year of manufacture: 2014 Place of assembly: Smyrna, Tennessee. Recall Population Failure." "My 2014 Rogue, built in Smyrna, TN, is exhibiting the exact electrical connector corrosion and 'wicking' failure described in Recall 22V-024. The current VIN population for this recall is insufficient and fails to include all affected vehicles from the Smyrna plant, leaving a documented fire hazard unaddressed. A clerical omission of your VIN does not mean the safety risk isn't present. The fact that my 2014 Smyrna-built Rogue has the exact defect described in the recall proves the NHTSA Recall Population is inaccurate for my vehicle.

Power Train
Filed Nov 24, 2025MI

While driving on the interstate and exiting at normal speed, my 2014 Nissan Rogue suddenly lost all propulsion. The engine continued to rev, but the transmission stopped delivering power to the wheels. This happened in active traffic and created an immediate safety hazard, as vehicles behind me had no warning that my car would lose power. After stopping and restarting the engine, the vehicle regained limited movement, but the power no longer matched the RPMs. This indicates internal CVT slip and loss of hydraulic pressure. Shortly after, the check engine light appeared. A diagnostic scan showed a CVT stepper motor fault, a critical component that controls pulley ratio and belt pressure. When this part or the related hydraulic system fails, the transmission cannot maintain pressure, causing slipping, overheating, loss of acceleration, and potential total failure. Many 2014–2016 Rogue owners report the same symptoms: sudden loss of power, delayed engagement, high RPM with no acceleration, and overheating. Transmission specialists consistently point to recurring internal CVT defects, including stepper motor failure, valve body wear, pressure control solenoid issues, and breakdown of the hydraulic system that maintains belt tension. These are not normal wear items but indicators of a systemic design flaw. Nissan has long been aware of widespread CVT problems. Earlier models using the same CVT design received warranty extensions due to high failure rates. Numerous Technical Servic

The vehicle enters 'limp mode' without any warning indicators (dash lights or chimes) and it's not immediately clear why the vehicle does so or that the vehicle is, in fact, in limp mode. This has happened several times with the most recent case (October 18th) being extremely dangerous. I was highway driving in the Colorado mountains with limited exits available and speed limits that far exceeded my maximum 'limp mode' speed while traveling up hill. In addition to all the trucking traffic and hills, this created an extremely dangerous scenario. I read online that the poor design/manufacture of these Rogues caused them to be potentially prone to overheating, but that poor design shouldn't have precluded warning indicators (at the very least) and potentially a recall. The ambient temps on that Saturday were in the 40-50 degree range. Hardly highway driving conditions that you'd even guess an overheat would happen to 'highway-worthy' vehicle. I felt unsafe between the much faster traveling and accelerating traffic and had to exit the highway as soon as practical for my safety and the safety of other motorists. I have reported this to Boulder Nissan & Nissan Corporate and they speciously/dubiously told me that I need a new transmission (which effectively totals this vehicle).

The vehicle was experiencing judder on two recent occasions. The vehicle was just over 90K miles and due for a CVT fluid inspection. After experiencing brief but violent jerks/judders while operating between 1,500 and 2,000 rpms, I took the vehicle into the Nissan dealership for said fluid inspection/change. The dealership declined to perform the requested service that day and instead recommended I 'Replace transmission and install transmission cooler' due to a "P0744" code read from the vehicle's ODB. The vehicle's tachometer would bounce when the vehicle was experiencing the issue. What's particularly concerning is that the vehicle has received the regularly suggested maintenance and shows no warning lights on the dash. I researched the P0744 code for the 2014 Rogue and found the NHTSA published service bulletin related to this problem. I'm quite concerned that the dealership didn't offer this investigation as a primary option. The steps detailed in this bulletin: [XXX] are surely less expensive than the transmission replacement recommended. It concerns me that Nissan is skipping prudent and more cost-effective diagnostic steps seemingly due to their tacit acknowledgement that these CVTs were poorly built- hence the extended powertrain warranty that was offered to settle the class action lawsuit. It appears that poor/self-serving advice continues to be given to Nissan customers rather than acknowledge the design flaws of the 2014-18 Nissan Rogue CVTs. INFORMATION REDACTED P

There has been an issue with CVT on this transmission for many years. My vehicle has had this happen 3 times now. When I’ve contacted my dealership they always tell me there’s no recall etc! When traveling on a highway in warm weather….the rpm goes way up and you can not accelerate. When you pull off and shut the vehicle off and start it again. It will work fine. I just read that Nissan had put a “governor “ on the transmission as a safety feature. And this was the suggestion to pull off and shut vehicle down for 10 minutes as this “resets” it! I was not made aware of this malfunction! When I called Nissan today the agent told me there was an extended warranty on my vehicle but it expired January 2022! There is ABSOLUTELY no warning this will happen. I was ahead of a truck in I-88 when all of a sudden my vehicle was slowing down and I was not able to accelerate and had to pull off on a unsafe part of the highway!

The CVT Transmission in my 2014 Nissan Rogue was replaced by Nissan in 2018 at 30K miles. Now 52K the CVT Transmission has malfunctioned once again. Nissan has a Class Action Lawsuit on this issue. Nissan is refusing to pay to have this CVT replaced even though they know it is a failed and potentially unsafe system. I am now passed the time limits of the original new warranty, but not passed the mileage limits. The vehicle can be available for inspection. The problem began a few months ago when the vehicle stalled (lost all power) at least three times on the freeway and/or side streets. The vehicle totally lost all power. I had to slowly drift to the side of the highway and then the vehicle restarted. On the side street the vehicle stalled, and I put the vehicle in park and then the vehicle started up again. A few weeks ago, the engine light came on which prompted me to take the vehicle to the Nissan dealer for inspection. They could not reproduce the issue but, told me I needed another CVT transmission due to Code P1740.

The Drivetrain has had multiple issues since purchasing this vehicle. I have had to have the axle boot covers replaced multiple times - without any reason to cause the boots to tear or mess up. In addition the axle has had to be replaced multiple times. This is a very costly repair and doesn't last very long before it has to be replaced again. We are safe drivers and have no logical reason for this to occur on it's own. There have been multiple problems with the transmission during this same time. I feel that a recall should be issued for this vehicle and would appreciate any help with this vehicle problem.

About 2 years ago (2021) both me and my wife's my nissan cvt transmission went out and needed repair. In my case the transmission overheated, losing power while driving 80mph almost leaving me and my family stranded on the highway while coming back from trip late at night. Took car to dealership where they diagnosed transmission had overheated. After contacting manufacturer Nissan they offered to repair the transmission. Now today [XXX] I took my car in again because the transmission seems to not switching gears as it should. To which After diagnostic and road tests the dealer advise I needed a new transmission which will cost at minimum $5000! This is the same dealership the transmission was supposedly "repaired" 2 years ago. After further research on my own I found out nissan vehicles has had a history of transmission issues with its cvt transmission. In both instances there could have been an accident. Why weren't nissan owners made aware of their faulty transmissions? Attached is a document I found while doing research showing they were aware of their transmission issues and chose not to make its customers aware. By paying out settlements. The document shows vehicles up to model year 2010. However me and my wife's vehicles was model year 2014. Bought the same time and had transmission issues around the same time! This is not a coincidence. Its a pattern. So I'm sure there are other later model years that may have same issues but Nissan is reluctant to admit that. Somethin

I went to open the driver's side door after unlocking the car and the door handle came off in my hand. As a disabled veteran, I need to have constant access to opening my driver's side door without having to maneuver over the passenger seat or recline the seat back to try and open the door from the driver's side passenger door. My wife saw that other 2014 Nissan Rogues had a recall for the same reason. When I reached out to the dealer I purchased the car from, they said my car wasn't on the recall list and I would have to pay $300 for the part and $180 / hr. for labor to get it fixed. We have been in a heatwave this summer but when this happened, I was parked in the shade of a parking garage. There was no visible tampering around the handle indicating that someone was trying to break in. In addition to the driver's side door handle coming off, my wife noticed another recall related to 2014 Nissan Rogues that has happened with out car. The latch holding the hatch door on the rear of the vehicle has become loose and is easily moved. Though it has not separated from the base, there is the possibility of the latch coming undone and groceries or other items in the trunk area to fly out and cause accidents by drivers dodging items (groceries. school supplies, etc.) that tumble out of the car.

When my daughter was driving down the interstate, with a 65 mph speed limit, the car started slowing down. It would not allow her to go any faster than 40 mph. She pulled over to let the engine cool some and continued to have the problem. When we consulted the Nissan dealer, they said it was a “safety mechanism” to keep the car from overheating. I certainly don’t see how it is safe to be forced to drive a speed limit too slow for the interstate. Why is this not recalled? I see there are many more complaints with the same issue.

2014 Nissan Rogue: questions buyers ask

Is the 2014 Nissan Rogue a good car?

It is not among the Rogue years to avoid. Owners filed 440 complaints, against about 363 for a typical Rogue year. The most common complaint is about the transmission (21%). In NHTSA crash tests it scored 4 stars overall.

What is the most common problem with the 2014 Nissan Rogue?

The transmission: 93 of the 440 complaints (21%) are about it. Owners most often say it loses power (22%), jerks, lurches or bucks (20%) and sets off warning lights on the dash (19%). The typical report comes at 75,000 miles.

How many recalls does the 2014 Nissan Rogue have?

10 safety recalls on file with NHTSA, the most recent filed Feb 16, 2023. The largest, 16V244000, covered 3,296,947 vehicles. Recall repairs are free at a dealer; whether a specific car still has one open depends on its VIN.

At what mileage do 2014 Nissan Rogue problems start?

Half of the complaints that record an odometer reading came in before 50,000 miles. For the transmission the midpoint is 75,000 miles.

Are there service bulletins for the 2014 Nissan Rogue?

The manufacturer filed 332 technical service bulletins and other notices for it with NHTSA, most of them about the transmission (66), the electrical system (60) and the engine (31). They include a warranty extension, REVISION 2 Rogue, filed Aug 30, 2022. A bulletin is a repair instruction to dealers, not a recall: the fix is usually free only under warranty.

Reading this record

Complaint volume is well above typical for a single model year.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.

Most recent recall on file: Feb 16, 2023. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
