I was driving on freeway with cruise control on and noticed a couple of 'slips' in the transmission that made the car slow down and 'jerk'. Thinking it might have been a bit of bad gas, I kept driving for about 20 minutes. At one point the car seemed to slip into neutral and the tachometer revved up to about 8000 RPM even though the car was still in drive. I pulled over on the off-ramp and…
Car stops accelerating randomly. Some days it won't go over 60mph while I'm already driving on the thruway. Other days it will drop speed from 70 to 60 and I have no control over acceleration. This always happens on the highway.

Common questions
How serious is the powertrain problem on the 2015 Nissan Rogue?
It's a documented issue but not catastrophic. 131 complaints have been filed. Repairs average $2,500 and most owners catch it before it causes a breakdown.
At what mileage does the powertrain typically fail?
Across the 78 complaints that reported odometer mileage, most powertrain failures cluster between 56,000 and 95,000 miles, with the median around 77,109. A quarter of owners report trouble before 56,000; a quarter make it past 95,000. Maintenance history matters more than the odometer alone — this is the reported failure window, not a guarantee.
What does it cost to fix?
Independent shops typically charge around $2,500 for powertrain repairs on this vehicle. Dealer pricing tends to run 20-40% higher. The exact figure depends on the specific failure mode, parts availability, and your local labor rates. If you're outside factory warranty, an extended service contract often covers this category.
