Problems with 2013 Nissan Rogue STRUCTURE

Car would tack at 5k-6k rpm and not downshift, would lose power as driving uphill in heat. wouldn't shift out of gear , making loud buzzing sound. shutter or lose power after driving for a period of time. this happens on the freeway and while driving on city streets. vehicle had 40k miles when first started to have the issue. recently brought to nissan dealership who stated it was a transmission failure where the transmission doesn't cool. due to being out of the warranty timeline (5 years) but within the mileage (52000 miles), they were able to get nissan to cover a cooler kit. however, the transmission is not working properly. paint chipping from hood and side of car without any reason or any prior damage.

Car was stationary in our driveway at home. passenger door front would not unlock nor open with the key fob. tried to unlock it physically but it would not open. got inside and door still would not unlock nor open. the handle of the door would not move into side door outside.

The 2013 nissan rogue was stationary in a parking lot and caught on fire a few minutes after the engine was turned off. the vehicle only had about 77,000 miles on it when this happened. the vehicle was looked at by an engineering company and suggested that the fire was caused in the engine area.

The paint is pealing everywhere

Myself with my 6 year old daughter were driving from new haven, ct to fitchburg, ma. about 1 hour into the drive, my 2013 nissan rogue would not accelerate beyond 40mph!!! we were in steady fast moving traffic on a hot july 20th, 2018 afternoon, heatwave weather! it was terrifying!!! i put on my blinkers and slowly veered to the right lane! i had to get off the highway and make it to the nearest gas station. after several frantic calls to family members trying to figure out what to do, i decided to add engine oil, anti-freeze, gas and water hoping something would help. after sitting for an hour, i drove on the local roads to try out the car again but realized i had to get back on the highway and try to accelerate above 60mph again!!!! we made it to our 3 hour trip destination. the next day on the way back, the same problem happened and this time after stopping for a while my car still would not accelerate until we sat with the car off for an hour in the heat in a town that i am not familiar with! we had to use all local roads to get back home and that took double the time because i had to keep pulling over so the car could cool off some!!!! several mechanics have told me that i need a new transmission. it is too expensive to fix right now!!! i'm so disgusted with this car and cannot wait to get rid of it!!!! if a location takes over an hour to get to, i can't drive this car!!! my car is a pearl white color. the paint peeling on the hood and sides of the door is a whole other frustrating problem that gets worse and worse!!!

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!!!

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!

Pearl white paint is peeling off for no reason. rust is now visible on some spots. normal use and i only have 38,500 miles on it. took it to the dealer 2 years ago when only a quarter size spot was visible. now it is many more and larger spots.

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

While this is not a safety issue per say, if we can't get you to help with this issue then who can we turn to? a quick online search of "2013 nissan rogue paint problems" will reveal a number of consumer complaints related to just one color of the car, pearl white. i too am having this issue now and it seems unreasonable to me that nissan hasn't acknowledged this problem and issued a voluntary recall. some people have had the issue fixed, some have not. the difference being their willingness to fight for it. as consumers, we should not have to "fight" for an apparent manufacturer defect to be resolved. paint chipping in large pieces the way it is, is a lot more than an environmental issue, especially since it is not hard to see that people all over the country are experiencing the same problem. improper paint leads to rust and rust leads to bigger problems. won't you be a voice for us and help us get this resolved? thanks!

2013 nissan rogue caught on fire less than 10 minutes after it was parked in driveway, after a short trip running errands. vehicle was not running when fire began. initially, smoke began to escape from under hood then quickly caught on fire. entire front end of vehicle burned before fire was extinguished.

I was visiting family in arizona with my daughter (who is 100% handicap). my mother was in the back seat with my daughter. my father in the front passenger seat with me. child locks on and all doors locked as the car was in motion, stopped at a red light, got a green light to turn left, was making the turn and my daughter's door (right rear passenger door) flew open. my mother had to grab my daughter. i stopped in the middle of the road in phoenix, father jumped out of the vehicle, checked my daughter and the door and the child lock was still on. i called nissan and have an appointment but of course they have told me that they have never heard of this situation but to bring it in.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan rogue. the contact stated that the front driver's and front passenger's side doors unlock and lock without warning. the contact stated that the rear hatch failed to unlock. the contact mentioned that the failures progressed during rain weather. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated the vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 15v032000 (electrical system) and that if corrosion was found on the driver side floor near the harness connector that it could be causing the failure for the locks/linkages. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 38,900.

On saturday, may 16th heading on the 91 east by bellflower, ca. frwy i was driving and when a sudden stop i found it hard to make a stop because the brake felt as if it sunk in. i unfortunately hit a truck in front of me. the vehicle did not receive any damage but my nissan 2013 rogue did. i took pictures to show the damage. at the time of the accident, i was very concerned because the air bags did not deploy. the vehicle did receive a front impact but the air bags had no reaction to the hit. at the time of the accident i rode with my 3 children ages, 18, 15 and 11 and my fianc. prior to this happening i took the vehicle to get it's maintenance and after this happening i was sure that the vehicle felt very different. it was almost as if it would accelerate and the brakes kept sinking in with having a delay in making a full stop. the vehicle is currently in a body shop through my insurance and i do not recall the mileage? this is very concerning and has been ever since receiving the recall letter regarding the possible electrical problem that might set a fire. please advise/help. thank you!

Nhtsa recall 15v-032:a mixture of snow/water and carried onto the driver side floor area can seep into the carpet near the harness connector area and eventually cause an electric short to occur. this may lead to connector damage, possibly causing a fire. *tr

The interior handle on the rear passenger door does not allow the door to be opened; the door can only be opened from the outside handle. there is a component on the inside (hidden when looking at the door handle) that is broken. this is a safety issue in an emergency, as the backseat passenger must rely on someone to open their door in order to exit the car. the handle opened until about a year of use; we were in park, the engine was off, and we realized the rear door couldn't be opened from the interior. ever since, this door can only be opened from the outside handle. the door handle has not been abused; this resulted from normal use.

Appox. 40 miles a hour, i opened rear driver window or rear passenger window the car started to shake. at 50 miles an hour the car shuck violently and my hears experienced pain. i feel this is a unsafe condition and i was never told about or warned not to open the back windows if going 40 or faster in town or on the highway! *tr
