I have had my car since 12'. never an issue, I keep up regular maintenance. I hit 80K a month ago. Driving Friday, regular speed, approx 40ph car just loses power in traffic. I had to coast to emergency lane. Towed to dealership, testing since Friday can't give me any answers.
Transmission went out in the middle of the highway I-75 southbound 37.5 mile. Two adults and kids 6 and 4 yrs old were present in the car. We had to get other people to help push the car over to the resting area and off the highway. We had to tow the car twice to the location were we were going and back to sarasota area where we live. The car was on the highway going 75 mph when it broke and could not move anymore. I called Nissan and created a case, but they refused help with anything. Nissan transmissions were recalled to year 2010. Ours is 2012 and they still made bad transmissions. It should be recalled.

When driving this vehicle long distances it will lose power without notice. When driving acceleration will go down to 0 mph. If you put the gas pedal on the floor it will still not accelerate. This car can not be driven long distances, as it has placed my family in danger numerous times. I have had to pull over on the side of the road and allow the car to sit. Many times this has occurred on busy highways. There is no fix when this happens. I have had 18 wheelers behind me when this car has suddenly stopped. Nissan will not acknowledge this issue. When inquiring about the issue Nissan is only seeking a diagnostic fee. Through research I have uncovered that this is a huge issues impacting tons of customers. I will never purchase another Nissan.
Summary: While driving my 2012 Nissan Rogue my car began to slow down even while I was stepping on the acceleration. Rpms would soar up any time I stepped on the pedal so I pulled over to the side of the road, let the car cool for a few minutes then tried to start it up again and as I stepped on the pedal the car barely accelerated (just inched along), leaving me to call and have it towed back. The car was brought to the used car dealership, the next day I received a call that my transmission needs to be replaced. The car is only 3.5 years old (well taken care of) and even though it has 67,000 miles on it, a car as new as this one shouldn't be having transmission problems. I contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs and after going back and forth with them a few times they decided they are not going to help me because the car is out of warranty, mind you back in 2003-2010 they put out an extended warranty program on all Nissan Rogues due to transmission problems, so they acknowledged the issue then I don't understand why they aren't acknowledging the issue now. I am still paying the car off and now I have paid $3,400 to have the trans fixed, that transmission lasted 12,500 miles before a 3rd transmission I was told needed to be replaced. After researching this I have found that the cvt transmissions in Nissan cars is not an uncommon problem, actually a very common issue. Well the 3rd transmission only lasted 4,990 miles. I'm told I need another transmission. #4 this is ridiculous. I have had the same issued with the car since it had 54,000 miles on it.

Acceleration problems, when stepping on gas vehicle crawls and whining noise from engine sounding transmission problems. Had it looked at when new with clunking noise from engine at dealer. They said they not seen any problems with Rogues and claimed a road test was done and no noises were heard from techs. Noises have continued and now having severe problems accelerating to even 30mph. Problem seems to come and go quite frequently, most occurrences happen after a long road trip. Vehicle has been serviced regularly, including transmission fluids and oil changes as recommended. Not sure what to do where dealers claim nothing wrong with vehicles. Does a serious accident or death have to happen to finally acknowledge several people complaining of the same issue. Google searches will show many forums of same complaints...
