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

I'm driving on the highway 5 freeway. listening to music. all of a sudden i start hearing a whistling, and whining sound. i thought it was the radio so i turned it down. it's my car making that noise. so i start to pull over and i have no power. it barely gets off the freeway within 5 mins of me hearing the noise my car is smoking. i'm with my son. there was no warning or anything it just happened. i have my oil changes on time. i had on the day before. then this happens

Takata recall this complaint is concerning the transmission control body valve and cooler kit assy. after checking other sites and talking with the company that warrant my car i discover that nissan was aware of this problem and because it's not a safety issue nissan refuse to do a recall. other owner have also experience the same problem of one similar to it, while driving on the highway car loose power. i read on one of the investigation site that no company will warrant the cvt transmission by nissan.

While driving at a speed of 65 mph on the interstate in heavy traffic the vehicle started loosing power at a fast rate causing me to have to coast off the interstate onto the shoulder of the interstate. the vehicle is still idling but will not go forward. after approximately 15 to 20 minutes the vehicle will go again. but again after a few miles of driving on the interstate at a speed of 65 to 70 mph the vehicle again starts loosing power causing us again to pull over to the shoulder in heavy traffic on the interstate. when we return home i did some digging into the history of this vehicle with this particular transmission and find many complaints with the same problem. after having nissan service department look into it they find the transmission is overheating causing it to shut down. our warranty will cover the cost of repair but nissan requires an cooler to be placed on the transmission before it can be completely repaired due to this issue occurring in this particular transmission but the consumer has to pay out of pocket approximately $1000.00 for this cooler to be added to the vehicle because the cooler is an addition to the drive train. this is an ongoing issue nissan has with this particular transmission, we were very lucky both times this has happened on the interstate in heavy traffic to get off the interstate going from a high rate of speed to completely loosing power without causing an accident.

I almost died this weekend in my 2013 nissan rogue!!! going speed limit of 75 mph uphill from phoenix to prescott on i117 freeway. after driving for about an hour and at an elevation of about 3,500 feet outside of a town called "bumble bee" my nissan rogue without warning or any indicator lights coming on, begins to gradually decelerate down to just above 40 mph. two lane highway with no shoulders on either side...very dangerous and now i am down to going a mere 30-40 mph on a highway where speed limit is 75 miles per hour!!! rogue gradually slows down even though i have my foot depressed fully on the gas, pushing with all my weight all the way down to the floor board. semi truck is coming up very quickly behind me and didn't anticipate me slowing down especially since my brake was not depressed and almost rear ended me. semi truck literally had to gear down and switch lanes since he could not slow down in time to avoid hitting me. scared the life out of me but there was no where i could go! literally had to put on hazards and continue at 40 mph or so for next 20 miles until i could exit onto highway 89, pull over and stop. this vehicle is a death trap and someone will be fatally injured just as i almost was this past weekend. i do not feel safe in my 2013 nissan rogue and am terrified to drive my children around in it. took to nissan dealer today and apparently nissan is well aware of the issues. it is a problem with the transmission oil heating up and rogue going into a "fail safe" mode and decelerating. cvt needs to be added or replaced! why is this vehicle not being recalled!? are they waiting for someone to die or for a class action lawsuit to ensue before doing what is morally and ethically right!? shame on you nissan for letting corporate greed and profits mean more to you than safety!

All you have to do is go online and read consumer complaints about various nissan transmission problems. i can tell you from personal experience that people can get hurt or killed in these vehicles. the transmissions in these autos overheat and when this happens acceleration declines. pedal to the metal you are driving 50 mph on the expressway. cars are blowing horns. finally the tranny just goes completely out. try being in the center lane on i 75 coasting abruptly to a crawl and trying to move over without getting hit by cars driving 70 mph or more. i almost caused a major pileup while fighting to get off road. read other horror stories online. i have owned all types vehicles in my 64 years but i have never felt like my life was threatened because of mechanical issues. this is not a safe car. some owners have installed two or more transmissions. not to mention the cost. please save lives and make nissan correct this problem. 2009-2013 are the worst. my daughter owns a 2011 nissan sentra. she pulled from a stop sign and had plenty of time but as her car lost acceleration she was almost rear ended by a dump truck.. she called me crying. she has driven for 17 years and was terrified. i read stories of drivers who were attempting to make a left turn and as they sped up to cross the highway their car just creeps out in front of oncoming vehicles. check with service centers as well and you will realize this is a major issue with nissans. the altimas, the sentras, the rogues, the pathfinders. they have major issues. they need to recall these cvt transmissions and make them safe. i am upset over paying 3500.00 to repair this car but more upset that company is allowed to play with my life and the lives of others. i have never had a car this unsafe. thanks for listening. please check out what i have said. there are plenty more unhappy nissan owners out there.

I was driving on a major highway and all of a sudden i loss power, the car never turned off but as i pressed on the gas pedal it wouldn't accelerate so i had to coast from the left lane all the way to the right lane to get to the emergency lane. mind you there is oncoming traffic blowing there horn because of course i'm clearly not going the speed limit on the highway. i had to call a tow truck to take me to the closest nissan dealership which i'm not familiar with because i'm out of town. but once i get there they tell me my transmission is out and i need a new one. i bought this car in 2013 brand new i'm the only driver and my transmission goes out in 2017. i still don't believe it's my transmission but who am i to argue but i have to put up $4,200 and i'm still paying on this vehicle!!! i should have went with my first mind and got my cadillac. i will be trading this nissan rogue in and inform everyone i know not to purchase a nissan at all. my warranty doesn't cover a thing, wow!!! i've had 2 other mechanics look at and they say it could be my sensors because my speedometer still moves when you give it gas and if it sits a while it will go forward and backward but not for over a mile or two. i really wasted my money on this vehicle.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan rogue. while driving 65 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the contact was able to coast the vehicle to the left lane onto the shoulder. the contact turned off the vehicle, restarted it, and drove away. the failure recurred the same day while driving 30 mph. the vehicle was taken to daves auto clinic in rochester, ny where it was diagnosed that the transmission was faulty and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue and stated that the vehicle was not involved in a crash. the failure mileage was 54,000.

When i start my car it makes a rattling sound as if something is hitting the ground. after i drive for almost 45 mins on highway my car speed will all of a sudden come down from 70 mph to 20 mph and then it wont accelerate even. i was about to be hit by a truck on the highway, but somehow i managed to move the car in the buffer. i stood there for 20 - 30 mins and drove again, it was somehow moving. also if i am uphill the car wont move it will tend to go back. when i tried to accelerate the rpm was reaching till 4 or more, but the car will not move at all. another incident happened was i was waiting at a red signal. i was the first one in the line, as the signal became green, i removed my legs from brake, the car wont move at all. even tried to accelerate it somehow was able to reach only till the center of the signal when the signal changed to red. i was in a panic situation, i somehow dragged it to the other side. all this happened only within 2 weeks i bought the car from a nissan dealer (it was an used car). i took it to the delaer for inspection, they checked my car and gave me error code p0744 (torque converter) and said it can be resolved only by changing the complete transmission and would cost around 5400 dollars. when i asked why they didn't check during safety check in first place before selling the car, they gave me an answer like they cannot find issues in car until its driven on road. not sure what kind of safety checks the dealers perform then. i could have met with an accident due to this. when i asked them for fixing this they said i should have bought a warranty and its my fault i didn't buy a warranty, and they gave me a car as-is. i told them it was not the question about giving me a car as-is, i wanted to know what kind of security testing they do before giving a car, when they gave as is why they didn't mention about such issues. please help

Transmission oil cooler is needed to prevent the transmission cvt oil to stay cool so it does not go into fail safe mode here in the texas heat. after about 2 hours of driving in 90 plus weather the vehicle shuts power. it is unfortunate timing when in traffic and you have no power and you have to pull over without getting hit to put the vehicle in park and shut it down to reset the safe mode.

2013 nissan rogue...after about 40 mins of consistent highway driving the car loses acceleration power and the rpm's jump into 5000+. the only way to "correct" the issue is to pull the car over, turn it off for a few minutes and then restart the car. extremely unsafe driving conditions! i took the car to executive nissan in ct and was told there was an internal failure in the cvt transmission. executive said the issue can't be fixed due to the physical set up of the transmission and the only option is to replace the entire transmission. obviously the car is less than 4 years old and to have to replace an automatic transmission after that short period of time and less than 100,000 miles is utterly ridiculous. that being said, the major concern is the safety issue it causes to not only my family but to the other families on the road as well. after researching this issue on-line it is very clear that nissan has issues with it's cvt transmissions, specifically the rogue and altima. at one point there have been recalls and/or extended warranties issued because of this problem. i'm not really sure how nissan can continue to put vehicles on the road with known safety issues. to make matters worse they do nothing to correct the issue once its reported to their consumer affairs division. i was simply dismissed and told "this decision is final". the reason given to me was simply because i was over the factory warranty of 60,000 miles. imagine in this day and age of technology that a major vehicle component like a transmission is only "guaranteed" for 60,000 miles. this is a very serious issue and should be corrected immediately!!

The transmission or power train fails after driving the vehicle for a few hours and long distances. my nissan rogue fails to push at normal desire speed and this is extremely dangerous when crossing intersections on busy oncoming traffic. the vehicle becomes sluggish and it becomes a danger to myself and traffic. i have spoken to nissan about this problem but they do not want to help because my car has no more warranty and it has no check engine light on. i noticed problem since the first day i bought it and i told the dealership. the dealership took the vehicle to get it inspected but they said that their was not a problem. i took the car again and i spoke to nissan and they said that because my vehicle was 62,000 miles they could not do anything since the warranty is only good for 60,000 miles. the car seems normal but it gets very sluggish after driving it for a few hours and that is dangerous when you cross traffic.

I was driving on the highway. the transmission began whinig loudly. suddenly, there was a loss of power. even though i was giving it gas, it was only reving the engine higher. the automobile behind me almost slammed into me and i almost caused an accident as i decelerated because of the tranmission failure.

Car lost response to acceleration on three occasions from stopped status. car had been driven approximately 30 minutes on highway. third incident was while turning left through busy intersection on 4+ lane city street. car had been taken to dealer who could not find problem three days prior to third occurrence.

The transmission overheats and i experience reduced power on acceleration or driving. the paint on the whole body of the car is pealing off. updated 09/21/2017*js

I have a 2013 nissan rogue that the transmission just died on me. the car has 103 k miles and died on me in the middle lane of a 3 lane highway. i was doing 70 mph and the car speed dropped to less than 5 mph. i had my foot on the pedal for a good minute but the car won't go over 5 mph. i finally managed to safely get out of the highway and the car just died on the side of road. towed the car to the nissan dealer and was told the cvt transmission needs repaired. they know that older models were covered under a nissan extended warranty for the cvt transmission,but my 2013 rogue was not covered and there was nothing they can do. this car is dangerous to drive. the speed on this car should not just drop from 70 mph to 5 mph in a matter of seconds, it is dangerous. nissan is aware of this problem but won't admit it. can someone please look into this. there's a lot of people out there driving this cars and not know how dangerous they are. nissan needs to fix this issue before someone loses their life over this.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan rogue. while driving 65 mph, the vehicle decelerated without warning while depressing the accelerator pedal. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. the contact mentioned that the vehicle was taken to auto zone where a diagnostic test was completed and returned with a failed catalytic converter. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and confirmed that there was no extended warranty or recall. smart honda, (2 smart ave, white hall, ar 71602 (870) 543-2210), the dealer where the vehicle was purchased, advised the contact to schedule an appointment with a local nissan dealer. the failure mileage was 78,000. ..updated 07/24/17 *bf updated 10/20/2017*js

This vehicle has what has been called a cvt transmission issue. it has been well documented by hundreds of drivers across the country (all with the same problem). while driving 80 miles per hour in the fast lane the vehicle lost all power and went to 10 miles per hour in a matter of seconds, my wife was driving and we both panicked as we were on a busy highway. she started to move to the slower lanes, but had semi trucks running close behind us as well as other vehicles, we put on the emergency flashers and slowly made it across to the emergency lane, but not before we were almost in a horrible accident. we had two semis that came within a matter of 1-2 feet of hitting us. we went from 80 mph to 5 mph in a matter of seconds and then finally lost all power completely. we waited with the car off for almost 30 minutes, we started the car again and got back on the freeway, we traveled another 50 miles and the car did the same thing again!! this time we stayed in the right lane! we have had several issues since, and have had near death incidents with this vehicle. nissan knows of this issue, it is a cvt problem with their transmission, their dealer service departments know what to do. the diagnostic code is p0744 replace the valve body on transmission. they know the issue, but will not do a recall. it cost us $1,900. the car is a death trap. my wife and i do not feel safe driving this vehicle, but we can not afford a new one. nissan will not help our car has 94,443 miles on it, and is out of their warranty. there are hundreds of these issues reported and nissan turns their heads with this potential deadly issue. what will it take, a death to get some attention to this serious issue? nissan needs to fix this problem. it is a repetitive issue as well. (this problem has happened numerous times)

Driving on interstate at 70 mph, when car suddenly reduced to 50 mhp in jackson ms, almost got hit from behind by 18 wheeler. took it to the dealer in meridian ms and they stated the cause of the transmission failure and damage are due to boiling coolant. the boiling coolant is caused by the coolant system that can not cool the coolant liquid fast enough. this only happens if you are driving on highway for a very long hours. dealer suggested replacing the cvt transmission ($4000), nissan advices to add a second external cvt oil cooler kit ($900) to prevent coolant liquid from boiling and to protect the transmission. i had extended warranty, they will not cover this issue. it's a known issue and it's nissan's design flaw. warranty companies know about it and they will not cover for this particular issue despite of their contract says transmission is covered. nissan offered to pay for half of the repairs. they did admit it was a design flaw on phone.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan rogue. while driving at an unknown speed, the rpms increased from 500 to 600 and the vehicle decelerated independently. an independent mechanic inspected the vehicle and informed the contact to shift gears. when the contact did so, the vehicle was able to operate normally; however, the failure recurred six months later. the vehicle was taken to nelson nissan (800 w queens st, broken arrow, ok 74012, (918) 258-9901) to be diagnosed, but the cause of the failure was undetermined. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

Failed cvt transmission on a vehicle i have owned less than 4 years. vehicle was moving at 70mph when it began to lose speed and rpms increased. by the time i was able to safely exit the interstate i was moving at 20mph and over 4000rpms. mechanic has confirmed the transmission needs to be replaced, as is common with this vehicle.

Complete loss of acceleration! ! almost caused a wreck!! very dangerous. no codes. me ring onto interstate and lost acceleration. had it towed to shop couldn't get issue to duplicate. on way home it did it again. still no code.

I had stopped briefly to pay a toll and when i was ready to drive the car hesitated and the rpm went to 4 and it started to go slowly then the engine light came on. drove slowly to nearest repair shop and the codes that came up were p0744 and p1740. had to tow my vehicle home at the cost of $360.

The cvt (variable transmission) is losing power on the highway and i was suddenly unable to go any faster. this is very unsafe. the transmission went into "safe mode" due to overheating. this is a known issue by nissan as they gave an extended warranty for this same issue to all 2008 to 2010 rogue owners. however they no longer provide this and instead their fix is to charge for a different trans oil cooler for this 2013 model. if the cvt is still having issues the fix should be covered by nissan not me.

Driving down interstate 75 on a trip. cvt transmission started whining and no matter how hard i pressed on the gas car would not increase speed. vehicle does not have 80,000 miles. repair technician said he has seen several problems with valve body over heating and cvt transmission coolant mixing with transmission fluid. called nissan corporate and had a case opened. claim was denied saying they have no recalls or problems with cvt of the rogue vehicle. driving anywhere especially on a major interstate with this issue is a serious safety issue.

Vehicle lost all acceleration on a busy highway - very dangerous.

Car loses acceleration on warm days and driving on the highway for 30 minutes plus. pressing on the gas pedal to accelerate only causes rpm's to increase but the mph of the vehicle does not. after pulling the vehicle over and given a chance to cool down, normal operations resume until the fluids in the cvt drive heater up again. this has happened several times and is very dangerous. if you are in a bad position on the highway and need to accelerate for some reason anc cannot, this can be a very dangerous situation.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan rogue. while driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle decelerated and stalled without warning. the vehicle restarted after several attempts. the failure recurred several times. the vehicle was taken to autoway nissan (9920 e adamo dr, tampa, fl 33619) where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was advised of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall. the approximate failure mileage was 69,000. the vin was not available.

While driving highway speeds on colorado mountain passes, the vehicle transmission failed and would not accelerate. this put me in a very dangerous position with the other traffic on the road going 55mph and my car not going faster than 20mph. i took it to woodmen nissan in colorado springs, colorado where i was told there were metal shavings in the transmission pan, and it needed replaced. i had purchased an extra insurance plan for repairs with the car in april of 2015, the car had 29,000 when purchased from modern classic motors in grand junction, colorado. i used this insurance to have the transmission replaced by woodmen nissan in april 2017.

Was traveling down the highway on cruise control and it keep turn off. i pressed down on the accelerator the car does not accelerate no matter what!!! and that's when the cars behind me start honking, cussing me but there's nothing i can do

Transmission "slips ? " during highway driving.the vehicle slows drastically and suddenly without warning causing a risk of getting hit from behind. must pull over to the side of the road quickly.feel very unsafe using this vehicle on the highway.i've noticed on the nissan blog , that this has been an ongoing problem for almost a decade without a recall. please help..

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan rogue. the contact stated that the transmission would overheat after driving approximately 3-4 hours at highway speeds. the overheating would prevent the vehicle from accelerating over 45 mph. the contact took the vehicle to the east nissan champan highway dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle had not been repaired. the failure recurred. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the repair was no longer covered under warranty. the manufacturer provided case number: 27801526. the vin was unknown. the approximate failure mileage was 94,000.

I was merging onto the highway going ~50 mph. went to accelerate and the accelerater did not seem to have the same tension. then all lights came on the dash (check engine, oil, battery etc) then there was no acceleration. pulled to the shoulder, turned the car off, back on and everything seemed fine. cruise control was on, but not active as i was merging, and sport mode was on. since the incident when on cruise control i will feel the transmission 'slip' from time to time as well. however i could not recreate the issue of the car stalling.i called the dealer and they said if i could not recreate the problem, there was nothing they could do either. it looks like people are having similar problems and hopefully this can get resolved.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan rogue. the contact stated that the vehicle failed to shift and an abnormal noise was heard. in addition, the vehicle decelerated and experienced a lack of acceleration. the brake and battery warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was placed into neutral, driven to the contact's residence, and lost power. the vehicle was towed to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. the vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 15v032000 (electrical system). the contact was not notified until after the failure occurred. the failure mileage was 50,000.

When the car warms up the vehicle will not accelerate past 40mph or climb small hills greater than 40 mph. vehicle will act normally but when you get off the freeway, it loses power and will not accelerate. big safety issue when traveling on highway and you need speed to pass or even keep up with traffic. found online that this is a common problem and i believe there needs to be a recall for safety concerns

The vehicle idles and vibrates constantly when the gas pedal is used. my wheel may not vibrate 10 minutes out of a half hour drive. it either barely will take off from start or it completely floors it and excels. feels like a diesel rugged vehicle and not a smooth normal ride like any car or suv should ride. i complained the day it was purchased and have hated it ever since.

2013 nissan rouge. consumer writes in regards to transmission overheats and causes vehicle to decelerate while in motion. dealership advised an additional coolant was necessary to control the transmission temperature. *smd the consumer stated while driving 70 mph, the cruise control shut off and the vehicle decelerated to zero.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan rogue. while driving approximately 80 mph the vehicle decelerated to 40 mph intermittently without warning the failure recurred on several occasions. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the continuous variable transmission failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 80,000. updated 02/21/17*lj

Cvt transmission over heats and causes engine to go into limp mode at times of heavy traffic on interstate or hills when ambient temperature is above 85f. has created a dangerous situation in traffic where i have had difficulty getting to slow lane. i believe it's a safety hazard. contacted nissan and they do not want to acknowledge the problem. this vehicle has had this problem since new. i've reported the problem many times to dealers. consumer affairs was contacted, with no resolution.

I own a 2013 nissan rogue.that i have kept up the service on at the dealership for everything, but while driving at various speeds, the vehicle suddenly failed to accelerate properly. the failure was intermittent.the mileage was between 80,000.to 85,000. at that point the rogue becomes unresponsive and can't accelerate past 40 mph. this is incredibly dangerous and it has left my family and i stranded on the interstate 3 times, now i can't trust this vehicle at all and fear for the safety of my family. and nissan for some reason can't find anything wrong when they hook it up to the computer because there is no code error. (but they do have the [xxx] to tell me i need to buy a new transmission for a cause of over $5000 before taxes)this rogue is only 3 years old, this all has been very frightening to me and my family, as i am on the freeway every day and someone could very easily crash into me when the transmission fails or even when i am trying to pull out into traffic from an on ramp or out of a parking spot in the city or a tool booth and there is zero power, i can't express how dangerous this is. nissan please do something about this, we are hard working people and none of us will ever consider another nissan if this can't be fixed.

Traveling via the interstate fro ky to ga at about 70 mph. vehicle lost power and would not accelerate beyond 35 mph. dangerous as other vehicles traveling at 70 mph or above came close to rear ending my vehicle. other vehicles dangerously tailgated. obvious recall issue as there is a history/pattern of this behavior in like vehicles and yet no recall issued, very disappointing!

Transmission failed at 62,135 miles. overheated. no prior problems or repairs. dealership recommendation is replace transmission and add a transmission cooler. sold in georgia operated in georgia and needs a transmission cooler to continue to operate in georgia?! escalated to nissan regional but will not cover the cost of the repair. nissan has had an endemic problem with prior years across multiple models with this exact problem with cvt. this is clearly a continuing design defect. vehicle lost power and speed suddenly on the interstate. almost in an accident as trucks ran up on the car till it could be pulled over safely.

Just bought a used 2013 nissan rogue 2 weeks ago, it has 51k miles on it and it has all of the same problems listed by everyone else in these reviews in regards to the cvt transmission. after researching to see what might be wrong with this car i am seeing all of the deceleration issues, notably on inclines and i also cannot believe there is no manufacturers recall. a problem i'm not sure if anyone else has encountered was after about 2 hours of use, trying to pull out into traffic from a parking lot or out of a tool booth there is zero power, i can't express how dangerous this is. nissan please do something about this, we are hard working people and none of us will ever consider another nissan if this can't be fixed.

I am having the same cvt transmission issues as a lot of people. it overheats while driving on the interstate for longer than 45 minutes on a warm day and the vehicle becomes unresponsive and can't accelerate past 40 mph. this is incredibly dangerous and has left my family and i stranded on the interstate a few times now. i can't trust this vehicle at all and fear for the safety of my family. nissan can't find anything wrong when they hook it up to the computer because there is no code error at this point and it won't do it when the dealership is just cruising around town for 15 minutes (surprise surprise and a very convenient issue for nissan). i have a complaint filed with nissan and i am bringing it to the dealership again for inspection. i hope they actually find something because if they can't its incredibly negligent on nissan's part and is a known issue it seems from simple research. a recall is needed asap. this is incredibly unsafe, especially when in the middle of a busy interstate and the car is unresponsive. nhtsa please do something.

Cvt issues. whenever i am driving at high speeds (over 60 mph) uphill, my transmission fails. a couple times, the car has completely stopped. i have floored the gas pedal and my car still won't move. this has been very frightening, as i am on the freeway and someone could very easily crash into me when the transmission fails. there has been an extended warranty on the cvt for previous models but it is apparently still an issue.

While driving on the freeway, the car lost all acceleration and power, causing the vehicle to drop its speed to below 10 mph. we were unable to move the vehicle off the freeway due to lack of a shoulder, when we finally were able to get safely off the freeway, the car smelled of burning transmission fluid. after the car sat for 30 minutes, we were able to make a speed of no more than 25 mph to the nearest town. we took the car to our local nissan dealer and was told that there is a know cvt transmission problem in as where the transmission oil was overheated causing the car to go into safe mode. nissan issued a service bulletin for this problem and the fix is to have a transmission oil cooler installed at a cost of $1200.00, in which we have to pay. this has been a known issue on this vehicle with this transmission since before 2009. we were almost hit on numerous occasions from the rear by vehicles that were approaching us at 60 mph.

Purchased a used 2013 nissan rogue awd from hertz car sales not even a year ago. 18 year old daughter has had 3 near fatal accidents as car loses acceleration suddenly while she was traveling on the highway at high speed . if she is going up a hill, the car goes from 60 to nothing and she must quickly pull off the highway before someone back ends her! we are all deathly afraid to drive this car anymore. will it take a death before a recall of this vehicle and it's defective transmission is initiated?

About 120 miles into a trip to virginia from hartford, ct, my 2013 nissan rogue began to lose power. my car currently only has 68,709 miles on it. the "check engine" light came on. flooring the gas pedal, i continuously lost power and just prayed i wouldn't lose power with a semi truck behind me. i made it to virginia, but on my way back i was climbing a hill and my acceleration decreased dramatically. the car began to buck and i could only go about 35 miles per hour up the hill. when i got to the top of the hill and gravity took over, the problem ended. within a week after finally getting home, i took the car to harte nissan dealership in hartford, ct. they told me it was my cvt, a transmission issue and that i would have to pay for the entire cost of repair. as i drove away from the dealership, a low grumbling and grinding noise could be heard. the car was bucking badly from about 15-40mph. i turned around and had them look at it again and they basically told me that my transmission was in the process of dying. i drove away again and almost immediately the car was losing power on acceleration, until finally, within about a 1/4 mile away from my home, the car bucked one last time and stopped moving. again, this was at a busy intersection with cars coming up very close behind me. i have called nissan usa and they told me there was a recall on the cvt for rogues only up to 2010. i believe this problem has extended far beyond 2010 to other rogues, including mine.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan rogue. while driving 75 mph with the cruise control activated, the vehicle began to lose acceleration. while depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to accelerate. the failure recurred twice. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 62,000.

Brought our vehicle to the dealer 6/21/16 to be serviced for failure to accelerate after coming to a stop at intersections. at first we were told it was the cvt and we'd need a new transmission. then they replaced a valve and said it was fine. two days later the car jerks and shudders while driving below 45 mph and violently shudders and shakes while stationary; feels like something is pushing it. malfunction indicator light went on after this. brought it back to the dealer and was told there is a "misfire" and that it's completely separate from the previous problem. waiting to hear the diagnosis. seeing many similar complaints online with most relating to the cvt. it's very scary to be in the car with my kids when it was jerking and shuddering.

During my travel from maryland to ohio. my nissan rogue 2013 experienced problems going up mountains in the middle of my travel. the suv would not go pass 45mph even when i pushed the accelerator pedal to the floor. i took the suv to the first nissan dealer that i saw at my destination and was told that the transmission was "slipping" and the transmission fluid was overheated. the problem with this transmission was dangerous. it could have caused a crash/collision and could have injured or killed my children and i.
