Transmission shudder on other Rogue years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026.
What this problem usually is
This is the biggest drivetrain group on the site: a transmission that shudders, slips, hesitates or bangs into gear. It's the everyday version of transmission trouble, where the car still drives but doesn't drive right, and it has three narrower sheets of its own for jerking, hesitation and slipping.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the transmission (5 reports).
Recalls and investigations
No recall on the transmission and drivetrain covers the 2017 model year as of Oct 2, 2026.
When it happens
The middle half of failures fell between 58,617 and 102,400 miles, from the 21 reports that gave a mileage.

“When I drive the 2017 Nissan Rogue the acceleration is very slow and no responsive. It's dangerous as I cannot even maintain speed of normal speed limits. I have had fuel injection service and oil change but it made no difference. There are times you could floor the pedal but there is incredible hesitation and knocks.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 1 of 35 reports involved a crash and 1 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
