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)

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 was unaware that clogged drains could cause water intrusion until rainwater began leaking into the vehicle and then TIKTOK taught me.

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 by Nissan’s corporate dispute team. Nissan must provide 100% financial coverage for the CVT transmission replacement at an authorized dealer and full reimbursement of the $219.20 diagnostic fee. I will upload all 2019-2026 maintenance records the moment this file opens. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
