What the source says
The documented condition
Nissan published an extensive diagnostic and repair procedure for certain 2018 Rogue vehicles with CVT complaints and specified diagnostic codes. A similar driving sensation can have other causes, so the bulletin expressly requires confirmation rather than automatic transmission replacement.

What the official procedure directs
Nissan's procedure distinguishes between control valve and transmission assembly repair paths after electronic and physical inspection.
Mileage context
Because the bulletin is condition and code based, individual owner reports cannot establish a failure probability.

Repair paths and safe checks
Match the action to the evidence.
Retrieve codes before clearing them
A technician should retrieve TCM codes and follow the bulletin's inspection path. Clearing codes or disconnecting the battery first may remove useful evidence.
Do not assume that every vibration is a failed CVT.
Record the exact driving condition
Note the road speed and engine temperature. Then record the throttle condition and whether the symptom starts from rest or at steady speed.
Stop testing if power loss creates a traffic hazard.
