2010 Nissan ROGUE - Ratings, Complaints and Recalls

"the transmission/power train on this vehicle is experiencing common failures as reported by many owners. on my way to work, my nissan rogue began to stall and lose speed while on the highway. the speed decreased from 70 mph down to 50 mph. approximately 5 minutes way from work, my vehicle barely accelerated through 4 way stop while making left turn which posed a high risk with on coming traffic headed in my direction i had my vehicle inspected by my ase certified mechanic and was informed that my rogue prompted transmission failure code. he (dale baca, alternative auto care in thornton, co) also informed me that this was a recurring issue with my nissan rogue as well as other nissans with the cvt transmission. no indication of failure or warning lamps was given on my dashboard on the day of july 28th, 2023."

"my transmission let go"

"while driving the vehicle at average highway speeds for over one hour approximately, the cvt transmission fluid overheats, and an engine code po744 is set. this code is followed by reduction in engine power and speed limited to a safe mode of 25 mph. the danger of being rear-ended while attempting to safely exit the freeways here in california is high. this has happened multiple times on different roadways, uphill, downhill, and through the desert nissan has many technical service bulletins, but no recalls. a cvt for this 2010 is $4000 or more, later models received a cvt fluid cooler, this year it's almost $1400 to install with no hopes the cvt will hold up."

"the nissan rogue is my 16 year old sons car. he was on a main road with his younger sister and a friend when he slowed down to turn a corner and as he pushed gas the car began to jerk violently then there was a bang and a click noise the car stayed running but was unable to accelerate he tried putting it in park and it started rolling away… 4 other bystanders had to help push the vehicle out of the way so a total of 7 people were pushing car off main road into a parking lot. had someone look at it in that parking lot. it is something to do with the cvt transmission. had to have it towed to my home to see if it can be repaired. or if i wasted my money. either way definitely have to get rid of it due to the danger. there was 3 teens in this car and they could have been seriously injured in this car when it broke down on a major street or when they were pushing it into a parking lot. by the grace of god my kids and their friend are safe. after this i would never buy another nissan for the fact that i was terrified that they could’ve been seriously injured for a cvt transmission that has had numerous complaints and issues. it is definitely not safe for anyone, let alone a new teenage driver my son also told me that 2 weeks ago he was at a stop sign tried to accelerate when car would not move then it started jerking forward and finally drove normal. after that it could not be replicated until yesterday when it had incident on main road."

"2010 nissan rogue sw pre-owned certified on 2/24/2012; mileage: 13,403. purchased security+plus service warranty. the summer of 2014 rogue started a whining noise going up hills or under a light load. there was no other indication from the vehicle that it was under distress, no warning lights appeared etc. dealership mechanic test drove and confirmed the cvt was failing. 6/13/2014; mileage 44228 per warranty, installed: "1-transaxle assy; 1-trans exchange expense; 5- ns-2 cvt tranmi; 1tranmission co; 1 cooler kit-auto." "certified concern, per tech line replaced cvt transmission assembly, programmed tcm, installed transmission cooler, operates per design." the cvt was flushed and cleaned on 6/06/2018 at 78,882 by same dealership. miles since new cvt was replaced 44228 - 78882 = 34654 june 24, 2021 upon returning from a trip the car was not shifting properly. at starting of an intersection the voc light flashes and came on, and the car hardly would go across the intersection with the gas pedal pushed to floor. there were times gear shifting would rev and not shift smoothly. it was dangerous doing only 55mph in a 75 mph on i-10 returning. on july 22, 2021; mileage 92762; took to dealership for digonostic; they reported: "caused by check codes and a/b counts no code present. transmission has b counts recommend transmission replacement." "cvt assembly $4890; front lower control arms if done at time of cvt $650 & drive belt $180.". and, of course, they informed me that the warranty expired 1 year to the month. however,it is my understanding that 2010 rogue were given an extended 10 year warranty/150k. my warrenty book indicates differently. i believe nissan's warranty on my specific vehicle is misleading and needs reviewed. and may be considered fraudelant. a 2010 nissan rogue has less than 94,000 miles 1 cvt replaced prematurely now requiring another new cvt transmission replaced. north america nissan denied asst beyond warranty"

"issues with the vehicle shifting from 5th to 6th gear while driving in motion"

"i was driving on i70 from lakewood, co to new castle, co and about half way through the drive, no mater what gear i was in or how hard i push the gas peddle down (floored it), my car would only go 35-40 mph on the hills. i was on a highway where the speed limit is 65 and in some places 75 and it is very unsafe to be stuck going only 35-40 miles an hour."

"when driving in a high way at 70mph car would lost conection with engine none responsive and can cause major accident car transmission practacly goes on on nutral doesnt respond to gas pedal."

"near the end of may of this year, the car started losing power on the interstate. it became unresponsive to the pedal and would only go about 40 mph. it also made horrible noise and vibration. vehicles going 70 mph had to avoid hitting it. this happened on bridges in louisiana where off ramps are miles away. took it to nissan dealership and was told i needed a transmission replacement, no repair parts. cost $3,800 plus tax. discovered nissan's extended warranty, 10 years of 120,000 miles, whichever comes first. car has 101,000 miles but was purchased in march 2010, past 10 years by 2 months. if i purchased in june 2010 nissan would pay. since bought in march, nissan refused any responsibility. was able to get it repaired for $3,200 with a rebuilt transmission with 12,000 miles 12 month warranty, which ever comes first. same type of trans that nissan admits is faulty. don't feel safe, but can't sell car with good conscious. *tr"
