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] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The air bag sensors are not working and Nissan cannot provide me the parts to fix the car. This has been going on for months.

My back hatch/ trunk failed out of no where and when I went to go lift it I obviously had not known something spontaneously went wrong I was in my trunk just an hour before with no issues, and it dropped back on me and has since been extremely heavy and doesn't work.

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.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The sunroof drainage system became clogged, preventing water from draining properly. As a result, rainwater leaked into the vehicle's interior. The vehicle and affected components are available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? During rainstorms, water entered the vehicle through the sunroof area and dripped into the passenger compartment while I was driving. This was distracting and created a safety concern because my attention was diverted from the roadway. In addition, the ongoing water intrusion has caused mold growth inside the vehicle, which raises health and safety concerns for occupants. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. The clogged sunroof drains were identified as the cause of the water intrusion. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? The vehicle has been inspected by a service provider/dealer who determined that the sunroof drains were clogged. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning lamps or messages appeared before the failure. The first symptom was water entering the vehicle during rainfall. The owner's manual does not mention routine maintenance or cleaning of the sunroof drains, and I w

Formal complaint against Nissan North America regarding premature CVT transmission failure on a 2016 Nissan Rogue (VIN: [XXX], Case #XXX, XXX with under 54,000 original miles. During a routine check-up, an independent mechanic scanned the vehicle and found hard codes P17F0 and P17S0, indicating severe internal CVT failure and judder defects. Following their advice, I brought the vehicle to Hudson Nissan (Jersey City, NJ) for official diagnosis. The dealer charged a $219.20 diagnostic fee and confirmed total internal failure of the CVT, quoting $7,829.88 plus taxes to replace it. On XXX, Nissan Executive Level denied my goodwill request, claiming the warranty expired and they "did not know the service history since 2019." I completely reject this. I possess physical, dated service receipts from 2019 to 2026 proving the car was meticulously maintained (oil changes, alignments, fluid checks) at certified shops. I am fully prepared to upload this complete history to the BBB portal. A transmission failure at under 54k miles is unacceptable and points directly to an inherent manufacturing defect in Nissan’s Jatco CVT8 systems, which is well-documented and the subject of major federal scrutiny and class-action lawsuits (e.g., XXX v. Nissan North America). Hiding behind a chronological warranty window to evade responsibility for a known defective part on a low-mileage, well-maintained vehicle is bad-faith customer service. Desired Resolution: I demand a formal re-review of Case #XXX

Vehicle experienced hesitation and intermittent delayed acceleration beginning around 2018, with symptoms progressively worsening over time. In the past week, the check engine light illuminated and the vehicle began experiencing significant acceleration delay from stops, including engine revving without proper acceleration for approximately 5-10 seconds. In some cases, the vehicle would not accelerate until the engine was turned off and restarted. Vehicle also became unusually loud during acceleration. Independent repair shop retrieved DTC codes P0776 (Pressure Control Solenoid B Performance/Stuck Off) and P1715 (Input Speed Sensor Primary Speed). Research identified Nissan Technical Service Bulletin NTB15-086d describing these exact codes and symptoms, including hesitation and reduced power in 2014-2016 Nissan Rogue vehicles equipped with CVT transmissions. Condition creates a safety risk because vehicle may fail to accelerate properly when entering traffic, crossing intersections, or merging. Problem has been reproduced multiple times and confirmed by repair shop diagnostic codes. Vehicle has approximately 131,954 miles.

The seat belt on front passenger side has got stuck and won't come out at all to secure the passenger in their seat making this seat entire unusable. The vehicle has not been in any accident or anything like that. It just got stuck by itself even with just regular use. With only 62000 miles.

All 4 car doors lock and unlock and the trunk lock door (tries yo open) warning comes on

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.

POWER LIFT GATE ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED AND BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES - SEEMS THEY ALWAYS STOP WORKING EVEN IF I RESET AND TROUBLESHOOT.

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost automotive power and decelerated and failed to properly accelerate. During the failure, the cruise control unexpectedly deactivated. After turning off and restarting the vehicle, the failure was self-corrected. Additionally, the contact stated that while standing near the vehicle, the rear hatch door erroneously unlocked without pressing the key fob button. While operating the vehicle, the message "Key not Detected" was displayed. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not yet contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

Rogue seems to hesitate when transmission changes gears

Both doors on the driver side have quit locking and sometimes unlock by themselves. This is scary.

The transmission was ….. violently shaking , jerking, hesitating and eventually completely stopped working . The dealer recommended another transmission. In the meantime, we saw that some tranmissions from this car had a recall and vouchers were out to used to fix it.

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the passenger’s side air bag warning illuminated even though the passenger’s side seat was not occupied and remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to two dealers, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the passenger’s side seat module and two sensors had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal, and the engine seized. In addition, when the gear shift lever was shifted to reverse(R), the vehicle failed to move as intended. The check engine warning light illuminated, and the message "Engine Overheated" was displayed. Passersby stopped and helped to push the vehicle to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that prior to the failure, the vehicle had received an oil change. The contact was given a checklist of possible issues with the vehicle, but the checklist was not available. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 158,687.

Following up on original report: 11628730. The ignition key can be removed while the vehicle is in Drive, creating a serious risk of unintended vehicle rollaway, which could result in property damage, injury, or death. This occurs every time the vehicle is in Drive. Follow-Up Request: I have received no response to my original report. I am formally requesting that this issue be: Logged in NHTSA’s safety defect database Reviewed and investigated as a potential safety defect Addressed with a recall or safety advisory if the defect is confirmed Additional Information: No accidents have occurred yet, but the safety risk is high. I am willing to provide additional documentation or demonstration of the defect if required

This complaint concerns a 2016 Nissan Rogue purchased from a used-vehicle dealership and involves safety-related defects present at or shortly after sale, raising concerns regarding inspection adequacy, disclosure accuracy, and systemic sales practices. Within days of purchase, the vehicle exhibited active water intrusion through the moonroof, interior ceiling stains, mold spotting, and moisture exposure to electronic components. These conditions indicate prolonged or pre-existing water intrusion rather than post-sale wear. Service personnel later advised that the vehicle showed indicators consistent with prior water or flood-related damage. The vehicle also demonstrated multiple mechanical and electrical malfunctions affecting safety and drivability. Subsequent inspection determined that handling and pulling issues were not caused by wheel alignment, but by worn sway bar frame bushings and cracked CV axle boots on both sides, indicating suspension and drivetrain deterioration. Noise initially attributed to rear brake issues was later identified as wheel bearing failure after prior evaluations misdiagnosed the source. Wheel bearing degradation is a progressive condition consistent with pre-existing mechanical wear. Additional defects included keyless entry and ignition errors, electrical shorts affecting interior systems, malfunctioning lift-gate controls, and crash-sensor irregularities occurring during rain and highway driving. These conditions created an unreasonable risk

My check engine light came on spring of 2025 and my Rogue was losing speed from 80mph to 50mph on the intersate with the RPM's shooting up to 5-6. On 5/30/2025, I paid $800 to get the intake manifold sensor replaced. A few months later in October of 2025, engine light came back on and was having the same issue on the interstate. I took it in and I'm told its the actual intake manifold now. In October 2025, the part was on back order with no release date, it is now 1/20/2026. I have contacted nissan dealerships and looked online and at scrap yards. THIS PART IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND. If its been on back order for months, with none in America to be found, I can not be the only one with this issue.

UNKNOW, please see attached documents.

Passenger side seat belt does not lock when doing the sharp pull test. Dealer wants $150 diagnostic fee to check it out. If there is an accident, the passenger may not be protected by the seat belt.

THERE IS NO BACK UP SOUND, OR ANY WARNING WHEN SOMEONE OR SOMETHING IS NEAR ME WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the dealer had performed a CVT transmission replacement under an unknown recall. The contact stated that after the repair, the AWD warning light was intermittently illuminated. The dealer was notified and informed the contact that the warning light was an indication of the tire tread wear and tear. Additionally, the contact stated that while her husband was driving 30 MPH, the vehicle suddenly lost motive power and made an abnormally loud grinding sound. The contact stated that the vehicle felt like the rear wheels had locked up, and the vehicle was dragging. The driver smelled an abnormal burning rubber odor. A message indicating a high temperature and advising the driver to pull over was displayed. The driver was able to veer to the side of the road and waited for a while until the message cleared. The driver was then able to drive to the nearby residence. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that gear oil was leaking from the front transfer case and from the AWD housing area. The mechanic informed the contact that the failure had occurred because the dealer failed to replace a gasket during the transmission repair. The contact was referred to the dealer for the repairs. Additionally, the contact stated that the SPORT Mode was inoperable. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Within one month of purchase, the vehicle had been switching out of the Drive gear, and making an unusual noise. The check engine light, and many others appeared on the dashboard. I brought the vehicle to the dealership within the 1 month post purchase, (no warranty) and was told that It was repaired. Within a week all lights re-appeared and the vehicle drove poorly, making an unusual noise. I took it to another mechanic, who inspected it and gave me a list of all errors that appeared on the device he used to check the engine.. I brought it back to the dealership and was told Id be given a call when a rental car was available. After another month and a half passed, I brought the car back to the dealership, and dropped it off, without being given a rental replacement. The repair shop claimed that they did not find any further problems. The vehicle still makes a noise when accelerating and is beginning to smell of smoke.

This is a supplemental complaint to NHTSA ID #11604939. On October 25, 2025, Passport Nissan in Alexandria, Virginia diagnosed my 2016 Nissan Rogue with fault code P17F1, which indicates a known CVT transmission failure. The technician documented drivability issues including hesitation, slipping, and pulsing during acceleration. The diagnostic sheet recommended full CVT replacement. The dealership submitted a warranty request to Nissan’s Diagnostic Validation Team, and internal documentation shows a full transmission job totaling $6,996.44. Nissan classified the failure as warrantable under goodwill. Despite this, Nissan later offered only a partial valve body repair with a 50/50 cost split and a 3-day deadline. This contradicts Nissan’s own Technical Service Bulletin, which states that if fault code P17F1 returns after reprogramming, the transmission must be replaced. The dealership’s own technician confirmed the failure was warrantable and recommended full replacement. This misrepresentation minimizes a known safety defect and compromises consumer protection. The issue has been confirmed by a dealership technician, documented in service records, and submitted to Nissan’s internal warranty team. The vehicle experienced hesitation and loss of power during acceleration, which posed a safety risk while driving. This reflects a broader pattern of concealment and avoidance of full liability for transmission failures across Nissan vehicles. I request that NHTSA investigate this ma

The contact's daughter owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the front passenger's side air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the front passenger's seat Occupant Classification System (OCS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and the seat sensors needed to be replaced. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V911000 (Air Bags); however, the dealer informed the contact that the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic, where the same assessment was made, and the mechanic determined that the front passenger's seat assembly and seat belt assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

The sunroom leaks in all 2016 rogue models and Nissan refuses to help out the customers who are affected by this. I’ve done my research and I’m not the only person who has had problems when trying to deal with Nissan directly

I own a 2016 Nissan Rogue. VIN: [XXX] . The transmission system (power train) is malfunctioning, showing fault code P17F1 and symptoms of slipping, delayed acceleration, and a heavy ride. The issue is intermittent but recurring. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Safety is compromised during highway merging, uphill driving, and stop-and-go traffic. The vehicle hesitates or drags, which could lead to collisions or loss of control in high-speed or congested conditions. Passport Nissan Alexandria confirmed squirrel damage in August 2021, tied to Nissan’s use of soy-based wire insulation. They wrapped the wires with rat tape and recommended cayenne pepper, which I’ve consistently used. Despite these measures, the vehicle now shows signs of electrical instability affecting transmission performance. The original damage was confirmed by the dealership. The current issue has not yet been reproduced by a dealer or independent service center. I have submitted a warranty exception request to Nissan Consumer Affairs and Executive Consumer Affairs and requested a full diagnostic review. No warning lamps appeared prior to the failure. The symptoms began in early 2024 and have occurred multiple times since. The fault code was retrieved using an OBD-II scanner. This issue reflects a broader manufacturer vulnerability tied to material choices that attract rodents and create long-term electrical risk. Documentation includes a timestamped Facebook post and a dealership confir

With no prior warning or issues while driving on the freeway the rpm’s on my car just went in the redline and the car just lost power and I had to pull to the side of the road and that was that. Had to tow it home and it has not moved on its own since. Had it towed to dealer it’s a transmission failure. Total cost of repair $8500 and I’m at 131000 miles so past any extensions even purchased the extended warranty to 100000 miles when I bought it new for $40000.

From what it sounds like, it’s the transmission, it goes on limp mode, now it doesn’t want to move anymore, the gears move out of place. All the mechanics I have been to have been telling me 6k to place it and charge me 200 out of pocket just to tell me that with a computer to find the codes. My car hasn’t moved in 2 months

On [XXX] I was at a stoplight with my children and when it turned green I went to proceed and then I was moving slowly and it wasn't letting me go any specific speed and died in the middle of the road on a busy intersection at that leaving my children and I at risk of being potentially hit by another car, and it was in the evening time something could have happened to us Ladies as I have a [XXX] and a [XXX] and I'm a [XXX]. Mind you my battery was brand new so there was no indications on my dashboard giving me any sign of warnings nor was my Nissan rogue driving any different as I've kept up with maintenance and oil changes all of the above. So not only did I have to get out and push my Nissan rogue out of the road my [XXX] had to steer and I about got ran over and that's jeopardized in my life and then my kids wouldn't have had a mother thank God people jumped off their bicycles to help me. Then people the gas station tried to jump me but they're jumper cables and they said your battery is completely dead and I said that's not possible because I have a brand new battery as of a couple weeks ago just for the simple being that I'm responsible and I replace things when it's past the time and needs to be replaced. So my friend drove all the way up to us went across the street to AutoZone and bought a brand new battery and put it in then car started right up and was back to normal. But after the girls and I got home and went to bed we got up did our normal daily routine and got i

1. Driver's window stopped working. 2. After seeing similar online complaints about similiar issues with Nissan Rogue's from 2014 to 2017. I traced the issue to a severed wire of the left front door wiring harness; there are several additional wires with cracked insulation and these wires are exposed (see photos). The location is inside the rubber gromet between the car body and the door. The harness appears to be defective though it is not clear if it's a part defect or improper installation at time of manufacture. 3. This appears to be a fire hazard - several wires are exposed due to cracked wiring insulation. 4. (7-21-25) Opened case #[XXX] with Nissan North America Customer Support ("NNA"). 5. (7-22-25) NNA requested that a dealer technician needs to inspect. 6. (7-29-25) Brought vehicle to Chapman Nissan and the dealer technician confirmed the wiring issues (see report) and recommended replacement of the Left Front Door Wiring Harness. The part, #24125-4BA0D, is on national backorder. 7. (8-4-25) NNA rep, Rhonda, indicated that NNA would not be able to provide out-of-warranty assistance. When I pressed further if she had reviewed the photos, she would not acknowledge having them on file and was evasive. Rhonda threatened to terminate the call with in response to my questioning. Given the resistance, I ended the call. Note: It felt like NNA outsources these cases. 8. There were No dashboard warning lamps or sounds noting any wiring issue. 9. Note: there was a previous rec

My transmission is slow when I driving and loss power in hills

While driving down the road, the car lost power on an interstate and then would randomly pick up power.

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start after several attempts. There was no warning light illuminated. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic; however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

Spare tire provided with vehicle is incorrect size causing drive train issues which can lead to vehicle locking up and or becoming inoperable.

A component in my Transmission failed. I hooked it up to a code reader and it is saying its a solenoid. My car did not experience any warning signs or trouble. It just out if no where decided it wont go into reverse and move and it wont move in drive either. It did this and then after the engine made a noise the check engine light turned on. It is now at a repair shop being looked at. Again this happened out of the blue with no warning signs. I also have only had the car for one year.

The back differential box gave out on me. Audible constant grinding of gears and leakage from the box. Underneath of car feels like it’s jumping around and sounds like a chain in dragging. No prior issues or warning signs/lights beforehand. Had hit a pothole, and this terrible grinding noise started. Took to my local NTB and they didn’t know the problem, thought a drive shaft initially. Took to Nissan for a second opinion and was quoted $4700 for a new back differential. I cannot drive it, as I don’t feel safe, and its apparent gears have either shifted out of place, or broke inside there. Decided not to spend the money to fix, considering the car is 9 years old and isn’t worth even $4700.

I noticed my back wheel making a rubbing sound. When I stopped vehicle I noticed the back tire was leaning. Thought it was wheel bearing. Had it replaced and tire still was leaning. After closer inspection the suspension trailing control arms had rusted into causing tire to lean. It was on rear driver side. After inspection the rear passenger was also rusted and the metal was split. My concern is that this has happened to more vehicles like this and tire has broken off causing or could cause injury. I would have not thought a major part of an automobile would rust this quickly.

Have a 2016 Nissan rogue purchased new and well maintained. It has 87,000 miles. Last week, out of the blue, the car dropped to 50 mph and would not go over that speed. This happened on a major highway. Thankfully able to get to the side of the road. Took it to the Nissan dealer where it was purchased and for $170 was told the transmission needed to be replaced for a cost of $7,100. Found out through the class action lawsuit info that you can speak to the Nissan good will directly because there was a known transmission issue for that particular year, make and model. My dealer did not tell me about this option. Called Nissan USA, spoke to Austin in their consumer affairs department where a claim was opened. Consumer affairs received the diagnostic report and made the decision that despite the overall condition and maintenance records, they could not extend the warranty as a courtesy to us. I find it ridiculous that Nissan knows there is a transmission problem in these cars, they were sued for and settled for the same make and model. This is a safety issue that Nissan should have to fix.

The transmission began stuttering and making clunking noises as it was being driven normally down the road. This issue put me and my family at risk because we were not sure if we’d make it home and if the transmission would suddenly lock up leading us to an accident. The car has been gone through by a dealership in Jacksonville NC and was declared to have a faulty transmission. The check engine light turned on right when the stuttering started to occur

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that there was water leaking inside the vehicle through the sunroof. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the drain was clogged up. The drain was unclogged; however, the failure persisted. Additionally, the contact stated that her husband had informed her that the vehicle had shut off temporarily, and the rear wheels had locked up temporarily while driving. The contact stated that the front driver's side seat had failed to move as needed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that an unknown wiring harness was corroded due to the water leak and needed to be replaced. Additionally, the dealer determined that the sunroof needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.

The airbag passenger light has been showing off for about 2 years and on 4/30/25 showed the passenger air bag on the main panel in red color. I bring it today 5/2/25 to the Nissan dealer and they said is not a recall and they didn’t fix it. I been reading that actually is a recall and something can explode and is not recommended to drive the car under this sing.
