On March 20, 2026, at 83,606 miles I reported to Gunn Nissan Dealership my 2018 Nissan was shaking and shuddering.   Over a five-month period , and repeated trips to Gunn Nissan the shaking and shuddering progressed to clunking without Gunn identifying the problem as a cvt issue. On September 6, 2026, Pep Boys discovered that the transmission cvt scudder had completely failed. The cvt failure threatened my safety by leaving me stranded on the road. It is my understanding that a failing transmission has the potential of suddenly seizing up or slipping into neutral while driving.   The Chassis Control error light came on the day after the replacement transmission was installed.

The vehicle was sold to me 3 months outside of the extended manufacturer's warranty in December of 2025 with known issues with the CVT transmission. Since owning the vehicle for less than one year, the transmission has begun to fail. The vehicle was taken to a different Nissan dealership (Poughkeepsie Nissan in Wappingers Falls, NY) where it has been confirmed that the transmission is failing and will not go into gear correctly. Service records for the vehicle were pulled from the dealership that sold it to me (Romeo Nissan in Kingston, NY) and the transmission had never been serviced or repaired. If the vehicle slips out of gear or will not go into gear correctly, this could cause a major…

The Vehicle has developed this problem: the passenger-side door will not lock or unlock using either the key fob or the interior power-lock switch and has to be operated manually. Because the same failure has occurred on two consecutive model years, I am concerned this may be a recurring door-lock actuator defect rather than normal wear. I have a case number open with the Nissan Consumer Affairs. The case number is XXX. I also own a 2019 Nissan Rogue SV; the VIN number is [XXX], with the same exact problem. The case number for the 2018 Nissan Rogue is XXX INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
