2014 Nissan Rogue Problems

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 Service Bulletins address CVT slip, judder, overheating, and stepper motor issues. Despite this, Nissan denies responsibility for the 2014 Rogue. My dealer stated the only fix is complete transmission replacement costing thousands of dollars, with no goodwill assistance offered. This failure presents a serious safety risk. Losing propulsion without warning on a highway or while merging can easily lead to a collision. This is part of a repeat pattern of CVT failures, and I request NHTSA investigation.

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).

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.

My husband and I were in a head on and sustained injuries to my neck, chest abdomen, and knees. Neither the driver nor the passenger airbags went off during the accident. No lights were present no warning, lights or messages prior to the accident and we were both wearing our seatbelts. I received significant whiplash, bruising, and injuries confirmed by x-rays and feel that the airbags not going off in this collision only made it worse.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS BLINKING AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING!

This issue is with my 2014 Nissan Rogue that fell under the manufacturer issued recall R21B9 (NHTSA Recall 22V-024). I understand that Nissan has now claimed that this recall has been resolved, but their resolution has NOT fixed the damage done to my car due to the recall. The R21B9 recall states ... "In affected vehicles, if water and salt collect in the driver's side foot well, it may wick up the dash side harness tape and enter the connector. If this occurs, the dash side harness connector may corrode. If the connector becomes corroded, electrical current may continue to flow between the connector terminals, potentially causing issues such as driver's power window or power seat inoperative, All-Wheel Drive (AWD) warning light ON, battery discharge, and/or thermal damage to the connector. In rare cases, the corrosion could potentially lead to a fire, which may increase risk of injury." I brought my 2014 Nissan Rogue to a Nissan service center in April of '22 when I started smelling natural gas coming from my car. The service center diagnosed and confirmed that this natural gas smell was due to recall R21B9. The Nissan service center returned my car to me in October of '22 after the recall resolution was completed, however, my car is still smelling of natural gas, and I cannot continue to drive this car with my family breathing in this toxic odor smell. The Nissan service center returned my car and said the issue was "fixed" and there was nothing else they could do to my car to help with the smell. They did confirm that my car still smelled of natural gas. I opened a case through Nissan corporate and they referred me back to the Nissan service center. I got the car interior detailed and the engine cleaned; but it is still has a toxic odor smell. Nissan may have fixed the mechanical issue related to the recall, but the natural gas / toxic odor smell remains, and this is a health risk to me and my family. Again, Nissan confirmed this issue came from their recall.

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 was not performed and cited it as closed, a violation of Federal Law. Vehicle has been at dealership since 3/6/2026 and I have a large collection of supporting evidence that dealership has refused to comply with NYS DMV and NYS AG requests for mediation. Patterns examined at same dealership, case-in-point, suggest that this needs to be examined further and according to the law, not via a private consumer.

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. NYS Consumer Protection: Under the NYS Attorney General's Consumer Frauds Bureau, a manufacturer cannot ignore a known life-safety defect (fire risk) based on a clerical technicality when physical proof of the defect is provided. Dealership quoted $10,000 to repair a harness failure that is identical to the one covered under Recall 22V-024.

I was just driving my foot on the gas pedal got really hot like the heat kicked up and flames were coming out from infront and behind the firewall at this point i was on the highway doing. 70 pulled over and had to run i lost everything cash cards phone medication Licence and worst of all my car

While driving the doors unlock & lock. The inside lights blink on & off

Nisan 2014 Rogue headlight covers are cloudy and get cloudier daily. It is in the factory plastic cover. I need to know if there is a recall on this problem because an owner can't afford to pay to have the whole front taken off to correct a problem with the car make. Please forward this to whoever can solve this headlight problem before an accident.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the door locks were independently disengaging while the vehicle was parked in cold weather below 20-degrees. The contact stated that the failure recurred while driving in cold weather and driving over a bump in the roadway. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or a dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 135,000.

In the past, I complained many times that the car was flooded and the driver's seat was shaking. After multiple inspections at the maintenance department of Nissan dealers, the cause of the problem is not uniform, and the service quality is extremely poor. It has not been solved until now, because water often enters the car and the glass produces fog that affects the vision. I am facing danger every day when I drive. I complained again today and hoped to resolve it completely.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Rogue. While washing the vehicle, the contact became aware that the rear control arms were extremely rusted. The contact stated that the control arm on the driver’s side was completely rusted and was separated from the weld. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the control arm needed to be replaced. The contact believed that the failure was caused by the cheap metal used to manufacture the control arm. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 69,009.

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.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON SOMETIMES WHEN SOMEONE SETS IN THE SEAT. IF YOU RAISE YOUR BUTT UP IT WILL GO OUT. THE OTHER THING IS THE SEATBELT ON THAT SAME SEAT WILL LOCK INTO PLACE AND YOU CAN'T LEAN FORWARD TO REACH THE RADIO, ETC OR ANY OTHER BUTTONS ON THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH. IT IS THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.

WELL FIRST OFF THE VIN # ON MY ROGUE IS FOR AN AWD AND MINE IS A FWD?? THE SEAT BELTS IN THE BACK SEAT LOCK AND ARE HARD TO RELEASE WHEN TRYING TO BUCKLE. WORRIES ME THAT THEY AREN'T GOING TO DO WHAT THEY NEED TO IN AN ACCIDENT. THE STEERING WHEEL POPS WHEN TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT. I HAVE ALREADY PAID $100 FOR THEM TO LUBE AND CLEAN THE SEAL GOING INTO THE FIREWALL. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND IT'S GETTING WORSE. HAD TO HAVE 2 ALIGNMENTS WITHIN 4 MONTHS. NO ROUGH ROADS AMD SERVICE DEPT COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY. BRAKES AND ROTORS WEAR QUICKLY. TRANSMISSION WHINES WHEN GOING DOWN OR UP A HILL. I LOVE MY VEHICLE BUT THE ISSUES I HAVE MAKE ME RETHINK EVER BUYING ANOTHER NISSAN. IF THERE ARE ISSUES THEY NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.

BRAKES FAIL

WHILE DRIVING, SLOWING DOWN FOR INTERSECTION, COMPLETE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN, ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. PULLED INTO PARKING LOT, NO POWER STEERING, NO BRAKES. GOT THE CAR STOPPED, PUT IT IN THE PARK, I WAS LOCKED INSIDE AS ALL SYSTEMS WERE SHUT DOWN. ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. HEADLIGHTS WERE STILL ON. HAD CAR TOWED, WHILE RUNNING TO DEALERSHIP.

The steering is so hard to turn I can barley drive a vehicle I purchased I’ve taking it to be looked at a few times because the code will come on and off but when they run the code it won’t read it so they don’t know how to fix it.

Ever since I purchased this car I have gone to the dealership on many occasions and came back without the problem being resolve And have to pay huge sums of money just for non diagnostic results Very very frustrating

My windows :front driver and passenger; Back left passenger does not go up or down, once speed is up to 50mph car gets a smokey smell no smoke or sparks visible.

I BOUGHT MICHELIN TIRES (PREMIER LTX- 225/65 R17 102H SL BSW GM) WITH WARRANTY OF 60K MILES. I DROVE 25K MILES AND IT IS WORE OUT. I BOUGHT THE MOST EXPENSIVE TIRES AS IT IS MY FAMILY CAR. I COMPLAINED TO MICHELIN AND THEY DON'T THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT IS PRORATED WARRANTY IT IS NOT A GUARANTEE. THEY COULDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION THAT IF I TRUST THAT THE TIRES WILL RUN AROUND 60K AND THEY NEED CHANGE AT AROUND 25 IS CONSIDERED A PRODUCT FAILURE OR NOT, THEY MENTIONED THAT THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND I HAVE TO CHANGE THE 4 TIRES. I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS IT AS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE TIRES ARE NOT SAFE AS ADVERTISED. MY COMPLAINT NUMBER AT MICHELIN IS [XXX].
