Problem overview

Some Nissan Rogue owners report experiencing noisy transmission issues related to the continuously variable transmission (CVT), which can lead to loss of power and unusual noises. These problems have been noted in various model years, particularly from 2008 to 2013, as well as in some newer models from 2018 to 2020. The persistent CVT transmission problems have resulted in recalls and efforts by the manufacturer to address these concerns. Additionally, some owners encounter heater fan issues, which may stem from a faulty thermostat, clogged heater core, or malfunctioning blower motor. Troubleshooting steps, such as checking the blower motor fuse and inspecting the blower motor resistor, are recommended to diagnose these heater problems effectively. If dealers are unable to resolve these transmission and heater fan issues, seeking a second opinion from another mechanic or specialized Nissan service center is advisable for a more accurate diagnosis and solution.
