Problems with 2013 Nissan Rogue POWER TRAIN

On average, the 2013 Nissan Rogue starts to “feel” problems with the POWER TRAIN and its various aspects after 73 953 miles.

Recently reported POWER TRAIN problems on 2013 Nissan Rogue

Transmission stop working, when you put in drive or reverse , it does not move at all! i paid 24000.00 ( i bought new one)!

I was driving on the highway on a trip out of town when my car began decelerating and would not accelerate. i immediately took it to nissan where they advised i needed a new transmission for $4200. my car only had $94,000 miles and i've never missed a service through nissan. the experience was incredibly scary and has caused me anxiety.

Cvt transmission was the issue all along i bought my 2013 in december of 2017 had it for a few weeks and the engine lights comes on. call the place where i got it to tell them i was bringing back. then next day it was gone off. february it came back on had my mechanic look at it couldn't find anything wrong. a few weeks more i noticed it was hesitanting but it stopped quickly. 3 weeks ago the engine light came back on my mechanic said it's the motor mount sensor i replaced it. a month before this my car wouldn't go into park so i replaced the shift gear. both shift gear and motor sensor valve costing around 800.driving to iowa on the highway my car struggled going up steep roads making it very dangerous in front of 18 wheeler trucks. now the engine light back on went to my mechanic and a transmission specialist and they said it's the cvt transmission. i've had this vehicle 6 months nissan you need to do a recall on 2013 rogue with these cvt transmissions people buy vehicles trusting they will have for awhile . i'm paying a note on this car for another 4 years and don't know what i'm going to do nissan assist your consumers with this problem

Multiple cvt failures while driving at highway speeds causing near collision. cvt total failures requiring replace of cvt (25,000 mi) and valve body and manifold (~60,000). manufacturing defect still exists in nissan cvt but warranty extension only exist for older models. "2003-2010 vehicles equipped with a continuously variable transmission (cvt) also have a 10-year /120,000 mile cvt limited warranty extension." blatantly obvious the problem remains in the cvt causing loss of acceleration at highway speeds.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan rogue. while driving approximately 60 mph approaching an incline, the rpms increased between 3,000 and 4,000 as the vehicle decelerated. there was no warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to autonation nissan pembroke pines (8890 pines blvd, pembroke pines, fl 33024, 954-949-0421) where it was diagnosed that the transmission valve failed and that an additional unknown cooling system part needed to be added to make the valve operational. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed the dealer's diagnosis. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 61,000.

Transmission overheated after 1 1/2 hours driving. went into a lag mode. no power but never died. next day car ran fine. cruise turned off when loss of power occurred. multiple instances. was interstate driving, hot day, ac on.

I was driving in arizona on a highway in my 2013 nissan rogue. the vehicle has 54,000 miles. the speed limit was 75 mph. suddenly the vehicle would not let me accelerate, the rmps would not let me go past 2500. i was driving in the left lane on a two lane highway and could not pull over due to other traffic. the temperature gauge was not even half way. no service or engine lights engaged. kicked the car out of cruise control and couldn't turn the air conditioning on. this has happened a few times in the past. the 2013 does not have the extended warranty for the transmission so nissan continuously tells me they cannot help me.

Loss of power in traffic going 75 to 80 on a busy interstate. stopped with no power at a red light made a traffic jam

While driving on highway, experience a loss of power after driving >1.5 hours at >65mph on a day warmer than 75 degrees. vehicle was then slow to respond in acceleration and would then not travel >60mph until after parked with engine off for >30 minutes.

I've owned the car about a year. it has 77,000 miles on it. recently the transmission has begunh to fail when encountering the slightest of inclined slopes on the highway. it will suddenly drop out of cruise control and lose about 10mph, dropping to around 60 mph. the last time this happened, i left the highway, stopped at a stop light and when the light changed, the car would not move until i changed to low gear. my allison transmission guy tells me he's replaced a lot of these transmissions and they have the poorest warranty of any transmission, only 1 year or 12,000 miles. he said i probably would not get another 77,000 miles even with a new transmission.

Car has been losing power since 70,000 miles. happens intermittently, car will suddenly lose acceleration although you are pressing on the gas. multiple times at stoplights, stop signs, etc. you can push the gas pedal to the floor and the car will barely move. several times upon pulling out into traffic car has decelerated. i am afraid to drive this car with my child and it.

While driving on the interstate, my rogue started slowing down with no warning. i was doing 70 mph and on cruise control. the rpms went to 4000 and i took it off cruise and pressed the accelerator but it kept getting slower. i was lucky to work my way to the right and get off the interstate but had to stop at the bottom of the ramp. as i pressed the gas to go , i could not move and was almost rear ended. i had the accelerator to the floor but still it wouldn't go then finally took off roughly. i turned it off at the gas station then restarted it and tried the gas. it was a little hesitant but it evened out. this has happened twice. my rogue has 56000 miles on it. i bought it with under 20000

2013 nissan rogue transmission nearly caused an accident on my way home from work. as i was driving down main street my rogue i immediately lost the majority of my acceleration and was forced into the bus lane to keep from the vehicles behind me from rear ending me. upon researching this issue its clear the nissan has a serious issue with their cvt transmission design and that many people have lost nearly all acceleration on the highways and in other dangerous environments. this is a design flaw by nissan and needs a recall to protect the consumers driving with sincerely young transmissions that are faulty and dangerous when on public roads. *tr

While driving on the interstate, vehicle looses acceleration. will not accelerate even with gas pedal to the floor. this is very dangerous when your car drops to 40-50 mph in a 70 mph zone.

While driving on highway or city road, the car loose acceleration, i have to pull over and wait for about a minute then start driving again and it seems ok until i slow down due to traffic or turn at corner, the car loose acceleration. the brake light is on although the car was turn off. i have to disconnect the battery. i almost have a car accident on highway then now i decide to leave car at home and will decide what to do with it later. i got about 116360 miles on the car

Takata recall. while driving the vehicle after an hour the car lost power and won't go any faster and starts to shake as the gas pedal is depressed to the floor. no power up hill and this vehicle problem should be addressed immediately as it could leave the driver stranded on the side of the on a long trip.

When i drive over 60miles over 30 minutes engine sound different after that i made stop on stop sign car is not moving for 1 or 2 minutes. this happen since i bought new car from nissan filler. i report to filler few times but filler saying "we can not find your problem" . today i talked my church people about my car he told me samething and he fixed transmission and sold his car. it happened so many times until now. if you have question please call me [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan rogue. while driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle lost acceleration even when the accelerator pedal was depressed. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road and had it towed to his residence. the vehicle was then towed to the dealer (nissan of silsbee, 3490 highway 96 bypass, silsbee, texas 77656) where it was diagnosed that there was an electrical transmission failure caused by metal shavings. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 110,000.

Loss of acceleration due to overheated transmission; my 2013 nissan rogue with 66,000 miles on it started to lose acceleration on a major interstate (65mph to 30mph). i took it to my local dealership and they told me that this is a common problem with rogues, and that my transmission fluid was basically getting so hot it was boiling and had caused major damage to my valve body. i had to replace the valve body and put in an external coolant system which cost $2700. the repairs were not covered by nissan as my transmission warranty was only up to 60,000 miles, however this is a serious manufacturing issue that needs to be addressed by nissan.

Tamara recall: vehicles acts like it's going to die when i am in gear and stopped at a light or stop sign etc.

Vehicle has 87000 miles on it and for the last year (since 67000) it will randomly loose power, often on the highway causing a dangerous situation. we have been stranded twice 4+ hours from home on the weekend. this was an official recall from nissan on prior year rogues. why is this dangerous and expensive fix not being covered now?

Deacceleration while driving mainly long trips. we first noticed 2 months ago. no recall was ever sent to us. my original warranty is over now.this is unsafe and worrisome , we can not afford to fix it.

When i drive my 2013 nissan rogue for over an hour the transmission switches to safety mode and reduces the speed in the vehicle. once it cools down it drivea normal. tjis has put me in very dangerous situations while driving on the highway. did all of uts scheduled maintenance and also paid dealership extra for a cvt transmission evaluation. they said the transmission is faulty. very dangerous to loose power while driving.

After driving vehicle for over an hr in warm to hot weather or when towing the vehicle suddenly losses ability to accelerate and seems to enter limp mode. based on research many others also have same complaint and either require transmission replace or a larger transmission cooler. as vehicle is just over a month out of warranty even after experiencing similar problem in dec on trip(in warranty time period) nissan will not cover repair. this is a safety issue as you can not move at highway speeds on freeway max speed is 5-60 downhill 40s uphill. nissan extended warranty on 2007-2010 and need to do the same here.

I purchased my car in 2016 which was previously a lease. when i got the car i noticed a whirring sound as i applied the gas and a low pull as it coasted downhill. several different people i asked about this stated it was normal. i've never driven or owned a nissan before and i just thought it was the way the car drives. a couple of months ago, after driving to get my son from college, the car barely went above 60 mph as i pressed the gas. i pulled over, thought it was too hot or maybe a bad battery (had it tested, still good) or maybe the fuel injector. i stopped and got some fuel injector cleaner and let my car rest for a bit before heading 2 hours back home. it never happened again until this past friday. had the codes read when it became sluggish and was given p1778 code. ultimately, myself, my daughter and my 2 foster daughters got stuck in traffic b/c my car barely moved at all during stop and go traffic. i had it towed and when the mechanic checked it that monday morning he confirmed that my transmission was bad and to take it back to the dealer, that nissan has had several problems w/ it and it should be under an extended warranty, which repairs may otherwise run b/w $3000.00-$4000.00. upon my research, contact w/ nissan consumer affairs and the dealer i've come to understand that my year (2013 nissan rogue) is not covered under the extended warranty and this appears to be a burden and danger to consumers that nissan has been aware of at least since 2003 yet has not been vigilant enough to fix. i also see where there have been and currently are class action law suits against nissan regarding the cvt transmissions. i have no alternative means of transportation. please help!!!

I did not get any indications from my car that i was loosing power on the interstate. i push the gas pedal and nothing. i was driving for over an hour and that is when it happens. unfortunately this has happen more than once. at times it start to slows down. one time when i got off the interstate and stopped at a stop sign and it almost died at the intersection. now i see it is a known problem i would like nissan to fix this because this could be a serious problem for me or anyone driving this. i almost got hit my a trunk, and a car on the interstate i don't trust this car anymore. i would like them to fix it right...

I bought my nissan rogue in december 2013 brand new. when the incident happened, the car has roughly 60,000. just last summer 2018, as i was driving to atlanta on i- 20 west my car started to decelerate while i was driving at 75 mph after 40 minutes into my trip. i was so nervous, as i continued to push the gas but nothing happened as cars speed up behind me. i merged over to the right lane to avoid causing an accident. while in this lane semi trucks quickly started to approach behind me and that's when i knew something was terrible wrong. i merged off the nearest exit for my safety. i found somewhere to park and turned off my vehicle. i restarted it and preceded to my destination without any problem. this same thing happened later that year. i did get my car diagnosis and discovered that it is the transmission but that company didn't have the equipment to due that repair. recently, i went to nissan dealership and got another diagnosis and they said it is the transmission which will cost $4000. i would imagine that my car would not have that type of problem within 4 years of ownership since this transmission was built by nissan. i have researched and seen that i am not the only one who had this problems with this year model.

Vehicle lost power while driving on the freeway and abruptly dropped from 75 mph to under 50 mph. vehicle was taken to jackie cooper nissan in tulsa where it was originally purchased and was told that the transmission is going out.

Car lost power as we were on the highway, going from 70 to 40 mph in no time. started to smoke. just had oil changed and all fluids checked without any issues. after we were towed off the highway and waiting we decided to try the car again to see if it was working. car went fine the rest of the way. coming back home about 300 miles, car drove ok, but it felt like there was something off. brought it to the dealer and was told that it needs a new transmission as well as a transmission cooler kit. total would be $5200. car only has 67000 miles, paid in full at time of purchase, warranty expired at 60000 miles. contacted nissan, i was told other years had extended warranty on transmission but not my year. also found out that there's been recalls on other years regarding the transmission but not 2013. i see there are many, many complaints online regarding this issue. i don't feel safe driving my car and i really think nissan should make restitution on this problem. i have contacted them and waiting for regional department to contact me today.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan rogue. while driving at unknown speeds for over an hour, the vehicle lost power and stalled. also, the check engine indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to hoffman nissan (46 albany turnpike, canton, ct 06019, (860) 651-3256) where it was diagnosed that the transmission oil was not cooling. in addition, the transmission needed to be replaced and an air cooler needed to be installed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer opened case number: 31451265 and offered to cover fifty percent of the repair cost. the failure mileage was 60,000. the vin was not available.

Car loses power in the middle of driving. mechanic says needs new transmission. has 95k miles

My wife and granddaughter were travelling in our 2013 nissan rogue when it developed a problem. she stated she was on a major highway when it suddenly lost power and a truck following behind her almost slammed into her. i couldn't believe this happened and decided to drive it myself on a 600 mile trip. when i was 3/4's of the way through i noticed a drop in speed and when depressing the accelerator it failed to go any faster. when i traveled up hill my speed went down to 30 mph and i had to pull over due to traffic backing up behind me. i later learned this is an issue with the nissan cvt. now i am unable to trust taking this car on any other long trips due to safety issues. i can't take a chance of another family member being killed due to the inherent problems that nissan has refused to repair or address.

On interstate i 75, car suddenly acted like not getting gas. slowed down but was still going. i got off and went to an adjacent ford dealership. the put a computer on it and said it was a torque converter problem. advised to drive to nissan dealership. which i was able to do. they put computer on it and said ford diagnosis was correct but also a transmission problem. ref 15-084a. the dealership did mot mention that this was supposed to be a covered repair. charges would be 3600. +.

Takata recall; when you're driving on the interstate the car will decelerate rapidly and will not accelerate even if you press the gas pedal to the floor. the cvt transmission doesn't have an external cooler. if you run the air conditioning while going faster than 45 mph the car looses speed and power. there are a lot of other complaints about this issue on: http://m.carcomplaints.com/nissan/rogue/2013/transmission/loss_of_acceleration.shtml

Loss of ability to accelerate. transmission will go into fail safe mode after approximately 20 minutes of driving regardless of weather, or town or hwy driving. it has left me with be able to go 40 mph or less on the highway. will not accelerate after stopping and when it does the rmps will be up near 4000 just to go 10-15 mph. on 3/31/2018 i had to be escorted off the hwy by chp because i couldn't keep up with traffic. this is not the first time is has happen. it occurs just about everyday. i have checked all my fluids there are no lights on my dash.

Four times now the vehicle has experience a loss of power when in drive. in all four instances the vehicle had to be stopped, put in park and then was able to proceed. all four instances occurred as the vehicle was pull away from a stop. in one instance an accident was only avoided due to the drivers in cross traffic paying close attention. the last incident of on 3/29/18. the vehicle is currently in at the repair shop and the dealer service area is saying they can not even find a tsb on the issue.

Lift gate rusted around the emblems and tail lights within one year - they replaced it. less than 8 months later it started rusting again - they replaced it. is now rusting again and they will not do anything. blows heat through the vents when all controls are off and temperature is set to the coolest setting. latest issue is i was driving my kids home at night and when i tried to accelerate from a stop light the vehicle only moved slowly at the rpm went above 4,000 almost causing me to get rear ended. eventually i could get to 50 mph but anything over that and the rpm's would race over 4,000. took it to the dealership and am being told the transmission is shot and it will cost $3,500 and i only have 95,000 miles on it!

Backing out of my driveway and heard a loud noise from rear of vehicle pull backing and noticed fluid on the pavement. upon inspection of fluid leakage noticed that the differential housing was cracked open and that was the problem with the noise and leak. had vehicle towed to the dealer and rear differential hadto be replaced ata cost of $2117.12. contacted nissan customer service and was told there was no recall and they stated if there was ever a recall that i would be reimbursed if there was a recall in the future

Several times this vehicle while traveling on highway for along period of time was lose power and check engine light would come on.most of the time this would happen when i was far from a exit or rest area.at first i could shut vehicle off then back on and it would clear itself.my dad checked for codes and found a code for transmission(po744)-we contacted a nissan dealer to ask them to look at vehicle but they said it would have to be in "broke mode " to diagnosis.i had traveled several different times but each time it happened i was not close to any dealer.my dad gave me is scan tool to travel with so if i got stuck,i could clear the code so i could make it home.finally on march 15th as i was coming back from a trip,the car acted up and i was able to get vehicle to country club nissan in oneonta new york.they drove the vehicle and was able to duplicate the issue.so i brought the vehicle for diagnosis on march 21st.they found the transmission has failed.now on research we have found this is a common problem with the cvt transmission .nissan has extended warranty on older vehicles for this issue on some vehicles.also they have a tsb out for my exact issue(tsb#ntb16-090) i contacted nissan customer service.they gave me a case#30284691.after five days they got back to me and advised me that they would not cover this repair.this is unacceptable as they know its a on going issue with this transmission and i know this by research(all over the internet) .the extension on some models was 10 years or 120,000 miles.also the tsb also proves that they know of this problem.this vehicle is my life line.i still owe on this vehicle for three years and its no good to me with this problem.the repairs are beyond my budget.we have had bad weather here in upstate new york and this vehicle has left me aside the road.my dad had to come and get me two hours from home when it broke down.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan rogue. while driving 80 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate after driving over forty minutes. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to bill ray nissan (2724 us-17, longwood, fl 32750, (407) 831-1318) where it was diagnosed that the continuously variable transmission needed to be repaired. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 35050224. no further assistance was provided. the failure mileage was 80,000.

Turning out on road vehicle lost acceleration and then lost all acceleration. no warning , no engine light. pushed back to house and towed to nissan. cvt transmission was the problem and spent roughly 200 to tow and second diagnostic which nissan wanted to do . total quote 4460.00. it concerns me that there was no prior warning to this. just went out with the whole family in car.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan rogue. while driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle lost acceleration. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the contact had to pull over to the side of the road and let the vehicle cool down for approximately 45 minutes. the vehicle restarted normally afterwards. the contact stated that the failure had been occurring intermittently since the summer of 2016. the dealer (hummel's nissan in des moines, iowa) diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed replacement. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 50,000. the vin was unavailable.

While driving the car on a highway in heavy traffic, it began to shake and make a loud noise. within a couple of minutes the car began to slow down and would not accelerate. after pulling over in the middle of heavy traffic the car completely stopped. the car was towed to a nissan dealer and the it was found that the cvt had an internal failure with no movement. although nissan was contacted immediately they refused to assist with the repairs of the car because the mileage deemed the car out of warranty. there were no indication that this problem was going to occur. the transmission was defective and faulty and had to be replaced. after researching the problem, i discovered that nissan has had problems with the transmissions of rogues in the past. the vehicle was then towed to a aaa car care center for repair.

Tamara recall i was driving with my family and or dog when the car went from 50mile a hr. to 25 mile a hr. with out any notice and this happened on a road where there is a lot of traffic and there is no room to make an emergency stop so i with online to see if other people where have this problem and it seems like there is a whole community of people that have this problem the nissan is aware of it and they're not doing anything about this this is a safety issue i read about somebody on the highway going 65 miles an hour in their car drop down to 30 miles an hour and they had to call for a tow truck i feel that there needs to be something done about this and it needs to be talked into i think the cvt transmissions are a good idea but there's a lot of flaws and safety issues with them it's just a matter of time until somebody gets an accident because their cvt failed and i don't want that to happen to me or my family or anybody else in their family!!

With around 60k miles i noticed that when driving extended distances, my nissan rogue would not allow me accelerate pass 65mph. i had never experienced this before so i took it to my local dealership to have it evaluated and see if any computer codes popped up. nothing came up. this issue kept going on so i took it back a year later around 79k miles and suddenly some codes appeared for cvt issues. they said i would need an entirely new cvt. i have been fighting this with nissan and have found no resolution. i don't feel like this is something that i should have to cover seeing as though there was an extended nissan warranty issued of 120,000 miles/10 years for 2010 and earlier models. obviously, they haven't fixed the issues because there are hundreds of owners having this same issue. google it or search nissan forums. it's not fair to the consumer. i am a single mom and still have over $16k to pay on this vehicle. it is my only means of transportation. i was driving out of town for the christmas holiday with my 4 year old daughter in the car and the transmission went into full limp mode on the interstate jeopardizing our safety. my car ended up being left on the side of the road. now i have to figure out how to tow it back to my local dealership when finances are already tight during this time of the year in a one income household. nissan seems uninterested in issuing a new extended warranty for these vehicles but maybe this is something nhtsa can push for. someone has to look out for the consumer. any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

My 2013 nissan rogue suddenly began losing acceleration ability. the rpm's would rev up high with no increase in speed. this happened on several occasions while driving in traffic with the car behind me having to slam on brakes or swerve to avoid impact. even more dangerous, the vehicle has done this when turning left across traffic lanes. even with plenty of time to turn, the vehicle would not accelerate as it barely crawled with oncoming traffic coming quickly. if the other vehicles had not been able to slow down or change lanes to avoid my seemingly stalled car, there would've been a major accident. this happened multiple times in traffic, turning across oncoming traffic lanes, as well as pulling out onto highways & busy streets. i was too terrified to drive the car for fear of causing an accident that could kill my self & my children that i had to stop driving my nissan until i could get enough money to replace the transmission. i am self-employed so this caused a major hardship. i am convinced that the cvt transmission will cause serious and fatal accidents, and probably already has, if nissan does not do something about this flawed transmission.

Cvt transmission with 117,000 miles. told by dealer i need a new transmission @ a cost of $4k for a remanufactured transmission. nissan extended transmission warranty to 120,000 miles for '03-'10 nissan rogue model years but refuse to pay for or at least partially cover cost to replace transmission. dealer said nissan rogue cvt transmissions continues to be an ongoing problem for model years later then 2010. nissan will only warranty a remanufactured transmission for 1 year or 12,000 miles which shows nissan has little confidence in the existing design of their cvt transmissions.

The car has went into limp mode several times. once with two small kids on the interstate almost causing an accident. the latest time i was unable to get it out of limp mode and had just exited the interstate. now i have a wonderful yard ornament on which i make payments. there has to be a recall at some point. after reading on the internet it is not an iisolated event. will a family need to die to get this fixed?

Half way into a 4 hour trip home from the beach, on a major interstate highway, our 2013 nissan rogue experienced loss of acceleration. the temperature this day was probably around 85 degrees. we had been traveling at an average speed of 70-75 mph. with the gas pedal all the way to the floor, it would not go over 60 mph, and would start to decelerate even further going up hills. we decided to exit the highway. at the bottom of the ramp, while trying to pull out into traffic, the car would only go about 5 miles per hour. we were afraid we would be hit by oncoming traffic before we could get pulled off the road safely. we pulled into a travel plaza, filled the car with gas, and got lunch. twenty minutes later we started up the car and it appeared to act normally, so we decided to continue with our trip. this was approximately 6 weeks ago and it hasn't happened since. there is a loud whining sound coming from the engine that appears to be getting worse, especially when traveling on a large highway at highway speed.
