I lose power when traveling at high speeds in hot temperatures. I drive on a toll road that is 75MPH, when it is hot out I completely lose all power no matter how much I step on the gas. I slowed down to 40 MPH on a road that is 75. PLEASE figure this out and get it fixed. It is very scary when people are behind you and almost hit you. I put in 1 date that I remember this happening, but it has happened consistently for about 3 years.
For the last 3 years my car on a hill or incline has stop shifting gears and its getting worse and worse every year. My car only has 101,000 miles! I had it for 5 years, took it to a certified mechanic to hear the transmission is going and there are numerous reports of CVT transmission issues with this SUV. And a loud electrical noise all the time. Nissan USA only agreed to pay half of the repairs for the faulty CVT transmission.
CVT transmission failed on me as I was driving luckily no one got hurt and I was able go pull off the shoulder just in time. Three months later I buy a new transmission and car doesn-€™t not start sometimes after getting it installed. This year and model NEEDS TO BE RECALLED NOW! I-€™m not the only person who this has happened to. Enough is enough Nissan! It is nhtsa job to make sure the vehicles we are in are safe! I-€™m so frustrated and confused on why there hasn-€™t been recalls on this awful issue yet!
When driving in approximately 90* weather on the highway, we lost all power/pickup and the car wouldn't get over approximately 45mph. This was an extreme safety hazard as the road we were on had no breakdown lane. We were eventually able to pull off the highway and let the vehicle cool for about 20 minutes and then we went backroads for the remainder of the drive. This has happened at least 5 additional times, all when driving on the highway in high temps and when the RPMs on the car are higher than 2K consistently. This is so dangerous and I cannot believe that Nissan isn't doing anything to make this safety issue right.
My car has not felt the same in a while. I got it tested by a few mechanics and finally got the answer. Car makes a humming sound and feels like it-€™s not using all its power. The mechanic told me it-€™s the transmission is starting to go. As I did more research I-€™m finding that this is becoming a common problem with Nissan vehicle owners from 2010-2016 especially the 2013 Nissan Rogue. The car only has 68000 miles since we purchased brand new in 2013.I do all it-€™s regular maintenance requirements.

Cvt transmission is failing. Vehicle is shuddering and lurched during acceleration. First incident occurring on uphill climb on interstate. Immediately had to exit interstate as the vehicles speed dropped dramatically in traffic with other vehicles present. Car manual explains that the vehicle does not need to be towed to dealership in this condition.
I was driving in the morning, on a somewhat busy road that acts as a small two lane highway that leads to the freeway, and all of a sudden it felt like I had gotten a flat tire and was driving on the rim. No sounds, just dramatic loss of power. I was able to pull over on a very narrow shoulder. Inspected tires and all were perfectly fine. I waited a few, turned car on which started just fine. Put car into gear but absolutely no engagement!! nothing. With foot pedal to the floor, just didn't move. RPM's were normal along with speed odometer. This was not only a scary situation to be in knowing that while in motion this vehicle lost all ability to function but a huge safety concern for me and others. I truly hope this doesn't happen anymore! something needs to be done about this. Not okay Nissan not okay
I have a 2013 Nissan Rogue select with 87,000 miles. It shudders/jerks intermittently during idle at drive mode even when ac and fan are off. Upon driving to austin in February, my car began to lose power on a highway with 70 mph limit. The RPM continued to G up, as did the gas gage. I was not able to accelerate. Luckily, I was near an exit and able to coast off to barely make it to the gas station, to allow the car to cool. The temperature gage, never ran hot. Then just last week making the same trip, the same issue, but this time the check engine light came on. This is a dangerous situation where I could be killed, or kill someone else because I am not able to move at the required speed. I thin took it to a Nissan dealer and was told it was the transmission. I filed a complaint with Nissan headquarters. Someone name jeremy called me a couple of days later only to say that the warranty had expired and there was nothing he could do. I even mentioned the class action suit that he said he knew nothing about. This is a defective factory issue and should have been recalled. I do not have the money, nor should I have to pay for something that was an issue that they knew about. I am including pictures of the repairs. I can provide the whole report, but I do not have a scanner at the moment. Also the firm brandsetter, straanch and jennings in Tennessee has a class action suit. Please investigate this. Someone is going to be killed, lets not allow it to get to this point. Thanks.
My gears started slipping. It wasnt safe to drive but my engine light didnt come on until a week later. Revs up to 6 or 7 before struggling to get up to speed.
The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving, the vehicle failed to exceed 15 mph. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle was no longer under warranty. The approximate failure mileage was 108,000.
While traveling on highway at 60 mph my daughter turned off cruise control to pass another vehicle and accelerated to pass then returned to the right lane and turned cruise back on. When she did this the vehicle slowed down to about 40mph. She was near an exit so she took it and as she was climbing the hill on the exit the car had lost so much power she was going about 5mph. She made it up the exit and pulled the car over and shut it off. She waited a few minutes and started it again and the car would not move at all until she got it up to about 5000 RPM and then it was only inching forward a little. She let the car sit for about 4 hours and towed it home but by then the vehicle started up and rode up the trailer ramp and then back down the ramp when she got it home just like it was normal.
Driving on highway us-90 coming home from new orleans to gulfport. My cars cruise control had stopped working 45 mintues to an hour after I got onto us-49 my check light came on I pressed my accelerate pedtal to the floor an the only thing it did was raise my rpms to almost 6. me an my child in the back seat were almost hit in the rear by an 18 wheeler because my vehicle had trouble with the transmission. When I got back to gulfport ms I stop at a auto-zone an they put it on the digital device an 3-4 codes came up the turque converter was bad in my car. I know from reading on the internet bulletins that Nissan is aware of the problem an hasnt done anyting about it.
The vehicle is not shifting correctly on highway or city, the rpms fluctuate when hitting the gas and and speed does not match the rpms. Which getting to 60mph the car starts to shake and will down shift and which makes the vehicle harder to accelerate and in some cases wont accelerate at all even with the rpms continuing to raise. I have gotten it looked at by certified mechanics and the said they cannot tell the issue especially with no warning lights and no faulty codes. When sitting at a stand still the rpms continue to raise over 2000 even with the vehicle in park.
I have had problems with this car since the first week I bought it. If it's not one thing it's another. Engine problems, oil leaking problems. Check engine light coming on whenever. Possible oil burning problem. Spark plugs, piston rings, axles, cylinders, mounts. This car is in the shop every other 2-3 weeks. Now it's been in the shop for a month+. it's is crazy that a dealership would sell this vehicle to a customer. There's even this thuddering noise. Things have been fixed and something else went wrong. It's been non stop repairs since day one. It also seems that 2013 Nissan Rogues and had many manufacturer problems and issues. I feel this was damaged car that was never reported and then someone fixed a few fake things and then resold it know this car was no good. When I drive it makes a loud thudder noise, the steering is not smooth. Also one night my car completely stopped when I tried to reverse and red light came on.
I have had one problem after another and this started right after purchase. A/C compressor went out first, driving down the road, cost $600 to fix. After that, the blower motor burned up while warming up one morning. I started smelling burned plastic, $300 repair. 6 months later, I am spending $4000 to replace the burned up transmission. I went into fail-safe mode while I was attempting to make a turn against traffic. Then I could smell something burned after driving.now I have just spent another $500 on a new battery and cables and new alternator, only to hear my vehicle still not starting. As I write this, I'm waiting for a call from Firestone to now tell me what's wrong with my car and how much this will cost! it is only February, and I have already used my 2 weeks vacation because my car is undriveable. Meanwhile, I still have 2 yrs left on my auto loan agreement. Please help us 2013 Nissan Rogue victims
Vehicle will not get up to speed when driven for a 45 minute period of time and won't allow me to pick.up to state speed I noticed there's been complaints about this issue due to a low temperature governor on the vehicle and that makes it dangerous for the other people traveling due to that issue I was on the interstate 25 traveling South
With no warning no check engine light nothing one day I left for work and hardly had any acceleration turned around brought it back home. Had to take it to Nissan because it's a cvt and they informed me that my 2013 with 134000 miles and still owe $7000 on the transmission went. The "refurbished" transmission quote was $2400 just for the part. We live paycheck to paycheck and cant afford that so I contacted corporate Nissan who did an "investigation" and denied that they were at fault for the faulty transmission. After doing some research I have seen several articles about complaints of loss of acceleration. This is a major safety hazard, like I said we had no warning at all.
I have a 2013 Nissan Rogue. 104,000 mi. I've had about 2 yrs, and took it for oil change and transmission check. It was losing power when I applied the gas pedal. They informed me my only choice was a new transmission. What" why" apparently, this cvt transmission has burned up in my vehicle. Meanwhile, nothing on the dash ever told me I had any problems. Nissan doesn't offer the extended warranty on 2013 Nissan Rogue. They started it in 2014!
At 83,500 miles, the cvt started whining and shifting was occasionally difficult. RPM's fluctuated at all speeds. Diagnosis indicated the cvt was defective and needed to be replaced.
