Your transmission isn't responding to gear selections properly — the car moves forward no matter which gear you select (Drive, Reverse, or Neutral), and you're seeing persistent warning messages to check the manual. The transmission fluid is overheating and evaporating, and the vehicle shakes, stutters, and jerks when trying to accelerate, with a complete inability to climb hills. Fixing this will likely require a full transmission fluid service, sensor diagnostics, and potentially transmission solenoid replacement or a complete transmission rebuild.

After driving my vehicle for about 20 minutes, when I press the gas pedal to accelerate from a stopped position (like at red lights) my car just does not go. It doesn’t stall, it hesitates and doesn’t go as normal. I have to pump the gas pedal and eventually it will go, but it continues to lurch forward and the RPMs rev up over 4 as the vehicle “bunny hops”.

My rear hatch door will not open manually or automatically due to torrential downpour that leaked into the rear hatch door while fully closed and locked. That rain water made its way into the electrical component causing the door to no longer operate or even open. The dealership is aware of the issue with several other vehicles of the same year make and model and have not put a recall out to fix the issue. So here I am, reporting the issue to you now in hopes to get a recall put out there so myself and other 2017 Nissan rogue owners can have the issue resolved. For the record, we have my car serviced every 5,000 miles so there were plenty of opportunities for the dealership to make us aware that there was the 1st issue on this car back in 2021, but they did not tell us or even ask if they could fix a known issue.
