Nissan Rogue Transmission Problems

The Nissan Rogue is a compact crossover SUV that made its debut in the year 2007 with the model for 2008. The Nissan Rogue is currently Nissan’s best-selling vehicle in the United States and has led the charge with being the first compact CUV to be fitted with a CVT transmission. Although the Nissan Rogue is an efficient, speedy, and fun vehicle to drive, unfortunately Rogue models may experience CVT failure. Let’s look at some of the most common transmission problems with a Nissan Rogue.

Common Nissan CVT Transmission Problem Include:

Trouble staying in Park.

Jerks and may lurch forward.

Burning smells from underneath the hood.

May have trouble accelerating.

May accelerate suddenly.

Odd noise or grinding sound.

Shaking and shuddering.

Trouble codes and check engine light

Lifespan of a Nissan Rogue Transmission:

The Nissan Rogue transmission lifespan largely depends on how well it has been maintained. On average, the Rogue could still take drivers 200,000 miles or more and newer models’ improvements should be beyond the 250,000-mile mark. The first- and second-generation Nissan Rogues will probably take drivers 150,000 miles before needing substantial repairs made to the transmission. Third-generation Nissan Rogues carry a lifespan beyond the 250,000-mile mark and come without transmission woes to deal with. After 2018, Nissan Rogues are much more reliable and are a tightly fitted, well made, SUV. J.D. Power rated the third-generation Nissan Roque a “GREAT” score for reliability in the 2020 model year.
