After driving roughly two hours on highway in stop and go rush hour traffic, our 2008 Nissan Rogue lost its ability to accelerate and the RPM would go only slightly above 2000. There were no dashboard warning lights. We pulled over at a rest stop and turned off the engine for ten minutes but the problem persisted. We had to get off the freeway and take back roads out of concern for our safety. We reached our destination, the then car sat for several hours and behaved normally for about an hour on the way back, but then the problem recurred. We only drove short distances for the next month, but on our next long drive the same thing happened again. Our mechanic found no engine codes and does not know what is causing the problem. This all happened only about 3000 miles after we had a new OEM transmission installed. For over two months, we have been unable to take any long trips with this car out of concern for both our ability to complete the trip and for our safety as well as the safety of others.
I have a 2008 Nissan rogue The cruise control light keeps blinking can't find the issue tire pressure light stays on. My driver side door handle will not open the door. Other than that my car runs fine
Sudden loss of power after driving on highway for a few hours. Car does not go above 2500 RPM or 50MPH. Shutting car off for a few minutes fixes the problem until it happens again a few hours pater.
Started vehicle and drove well. Stopped at an intersection and when it was my turn to go car rpms were high but car wouldn't move. The light change and I found myself in the middle of the intersection and car would not move. I took my foot of gas and then it just sped up and I had to use the breaks to make it slow down. Also it would slowdown in the middle of the highway which is dangerous cause speed limit was 70mph and I couldn't move the car to get it out of the way.

Today I was driving on the highway going a steady speed of about 70 mph for about 30-40 consecutive minutes. My 2008 Nissan Rogue sl began to decelerate slowly. I began to press gradually on the gas pedal. As I did this, the car made a weird sound as if it was trying to shut off. At this point my foot was pressed to the floor on the gas pedal and the cars RPM was going as high as 4000 but the car itself was not accelerating over 50 mph. All of this happening while I was on the highway at around 6:30 pm. I could have easily gotten into an accident. This is not the first time this has happen either. A few times I have been at a complete stop at a red light or coming off of the highway ramp and the car will take 10-15 seconds to accelerate and take off! this is seriously dangerous but can also be quite annoying for the car behind me. All this happening with no warning lights on my dash, I have gotten the car checked out but to no avail no codes are coming up and my car seems to be fine. I honestly believe this is a glitch in the software or system. I have read many complaints on mulitple different forums complaining of the same issue on the same make, year and model! I honestly believe this should be recalled and hope that one of your technicians seriously look into this before someone gets seriously hurt!
My car will start, slowing down while I am driving. I called Nissan on several things concerning this car. Nissan has not had a recall on their 2008-2010 Rogue yet. 2008 is the 1st generation of this vehicle. I have had engine cradle problems, control arm problems. These car makers need to be held accountable for their product.
I am having cvt transmission issues. It stops accelerating when on the highway and I'm not able to go faster that 60 mph. When I try to accelerate the RPM meter goes up, which isn't good. I am no longer within 10 year frame of Nissan's extended warranty so I have to come out of pocket for a transmission that Nissan knows isn't reliable and will fail again. I'm hoping that a recall comes from them instead of an extended warranty that leaves a lot of consumers out in the cold. I'm glad this happened to me cause I know, never, to buy a Nissan vehicle.
The car loses power due to cvt malfunction after driving for 40 minutes on highway. Thecar will not go past 50-55. Also will not move after stopping after driving on highway.
Nissan Rogue acceleration the car will sporadically stop accelerating on the highway. Sometimes from a standstill the car will not accelerate quickly. Rpms are will still go up but speed will not.
Our car initially would not accelerate from the lights, seemed like it would not go into gear. Thankfully we were able to get off the road as it was on ca 99, a pretty busy road. After a restart it seemed fine, until the next day when we were driving home to South lake Tahoe. The transmission went into limp mode and would not go over 3000rpm, particularly dangerous as we were driving up a mountain road at night. Since then we have driven it very little, but it jolts regularly while driving. This is the second time we have experienced such symptoms and the second transmission in this vehicle. The original transmission was replaced at 69273 miles, vehicle now has129000.
During prolong periods of driving (2-2.5 hours) at approximately 75 mph, the vehicle experienced a loss of acceleration without warning. Rpvs will not go past 2500. Speed will drop to 45-50 mph. I've almost been rear-ended twice because of the sudden loss of power (the speed drops instantly). It's been happening constantly since June 2016. Driving short distances within the city is not a problem, but can't drive safely on 75mph highways without losing power.
While driving at varied speed the Rogue will refuse to accelerate and the rpms will rise, but the car will not go no matter how far you press the accelerator down. This has happened countless times and when I research online it seems to be a common and known issues with Rogues of this year. I have had several near collisions due to this issues.
My car had a lost power driving back from rocky mountain national park and I was forced to pull over and turn off my car it started up and I was able to make it back safe but I think it has something to do with the cvt. I really sucks and I don't feel safe driving my car right now.
After driving 2.5 - 3hrs of highway driving would not accelerate (increase in speed ). I have been in intersections and the car would not accelerate which is a very serious safety concern. I have to travel to Alabama and Florida several times each year from my home in South Carolina and this has happened when trying to pass large16 wheeler trucks or just keep up with traffic flow. To do this when traveling at speeds of 65 - 70 miles per hr. Has concerned me, it is a serious safety matter. It could easily cause a serious crash and death. On a resent trip(July /2015) to Alabama on I-65 traveling at speeds on 70+ my car started to decelerate to down it was near 50 miles per hour, I pulled off highway and turned my car off. I have checked to make sure it is not over heating, which it is not. The temp. Gauge is below the half mark and the RPM gauge will not move past 2.5. also, on this trip I noticed that any slight hill going up it would have trouble pulling and start to decelerate then once I got up this hill it would accelerate to 80+ miles per hr. I have read quite a few complaints on this site concerning the same things are happening when traveling long highway trips. This must be taken care of by Nissan before someone dies or seriously injured.
The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Rogue. During prolong periods of driving at approximately 75 mph, the vehicle experienced a loss of acceleration without warning. The failure recurred five times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000. The VIN was not available.
I've had this issue for a couples of years now, my Rogue losses power after driving for about 30 minutes or more on the highway. I've read several complaints in this site and elsewhere of when the problem occur and how it's so hard replicate because there's no engine light. I've already replace my transmission in April 2013 and now my engine lights is on, took it to Nissan and they say it's my transmission valve body. I just hit 126,000 miles on the vehicle and of course my extended warranty expires at 120,000. Nissan needs to seriously consider a recall on this issue before someone gets hurt (if it hasn't happen already).
