Driving on highway the engine rpms started to race real high then real low. Engine light came on. Took car to dealer and looks like transmission bad, manufactorer and dealer will not stand up for the product and it seems they had recalls on this with other year cars but not this year.
The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that when driver drove on the highway the vehicle failed to accelerate over 55mph. The driver was able to move onto the road shoulder, restarted the engine and drove the vehicle off the highway traffic. The drive drove the vehicle home on the back roads. There was no warning lights on the instrumental panel before or during the failure occurred. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic and a transmission mechanic and the contact was advised to take the vehicle to a Nissan dealer.the vehicle was taken to kelly Nissan of woburn Nissan 95 cedar street woburn, MA, 01801 phone (781-835-3500) the dealer performed a diagnostic that located the failure at the cvt transmission internal the transmission failure wad due temperature logic raised temperature transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The failure mileage was 75,000.
The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle shuddered and hesitate while accelerating with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer to be diagnosed. The mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer a second time with the same result. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not under recall. The failure mileage was unknown.
My car will no longer move when the gas is pressed. I have been told by several people it is the cvt transmission. Driving on the highway and it just stopped. I almost got hit. Now it won't accelerate at all.
On our return trip from miramar beach, fl to our home in vestavia hills, al the car's speed abruptly reduced to approximately 45 mph after driving at approximately 60 mph on a state highway (for approximately 1 1/2 hours) but the vehicle would not respond to the accelerator other than to "vroom" when I pressed it with my foot. The problem with acceleration did not correct itself during the remaining 75 miles of the trip. We also smelled an odor like burned oil when we stopped. Very dangerous as all other cars passed us on this Alabama state highway and the subsequent distance on interstate-65. Based on what we have read on the internet, including settlements of class action law suits and extended warranty awards for earlier model years, we believe the problem is related to the Nissan's cvt transmission and it's factory settings.

The car starts to lag and decelerate when trying to go over 50mph..it sputters when sitting at red lights/stop signs. Car only has 70,000 miles on it, and took it to mechanic today who stated it was the cvt and that its common with 2013-2016 models. There are so many complaints on these cvt transmisisons, its crazy that there hasn't been any recalls yet. There were lemon laws in other states protecting other Nissan models for cvt issues, which have already expired, however there seem to be none for Nissan Rogue..I guess no recalls will be done until one of us dies..which is a shame..
At only 80,000 miles, the vehicle dangerously lost power while driving and inevitably would not allow the car to accelerate. Upon being parked, the vehicle would start, but would immediately shudder and stall out when trying to move in drive or reverse. Nissan has had countless complaints about the defective cvt transmission failing prematurely, and has issued warranty extensions on all other vehicles and years aside from the 2013 Nissan Rogue.
Check engine light came on. Rogue was sluggish with poor acceleration when I would go faster than 50 mph. Vehicle had about 107,800 miles. It was determined the cvt (continuously variable transmission) is the problem, torque converter and left side axle were bad and had to be replaced. Total cost was $3,942.58. This is a common issue for model year Rogues from 2008 to 2016. However there are no recalls for my 2013 Rogue and I checked my VIN on Nissan's website. I also spoke to a rep at Nissan and she stated that my Rogue is not on the list for any of the technical service bulletins and there are no recalls for my model year Rogue. However she acknowledged that this is a common problem for 2013 Rogues. However, I found a bulletin tsb ntb13-079D that the reduced performance is due to cvt fluid temperature protection logic re0F10A cvt transmission or a bad torque converter which requires the transmission to be replaced. This affects 2008 to 2013 Nissan Rogues tsb ntb14-002D.
2013 Nissan Rogue has the worst transmission problems ever and no one is doing something about it!! my vehicle constantly loses power. It whines. It makes noises. It loses power suddenly. I have put many complaints in with the dealer and they say their is nothing wrong....wtf are they smoking crack"? or. Is it because Nissan usa doesn't want to pay?" NHTSA please do something before someone gets killed on the highway trying to push the vehicle to the side or gets hit by an 18 wheeler B/C the '13 Rogue just dies on the highway. If you investigated Nissan usa data base over the last 5-8 years you will find huge numerous complaints about the cvt transmission on this vehicle. Or. look at carcomplaints.com. You will again see what is happening and again.... Nissan usa does nothing. Why did Nissan extend the cvt warranty on the following years..but not the '13's. because something is wrong and it's huge money they have to spend. We are in a covid 19 time and people lost their jobs and funding is limited and to have someone pay out $6000 for a new transmission...which Nissan usa should be fixing themselves is unethical, immoral and basically fraudulent and should be addressed immediately and hold Nissan usa feet to the fire... period!!!! NHTSA. Please help. You are the last resort. I don't know what else to say. Best michael catuogno
Check engine light is on. Rogue is sluggish with poor acceleration when I go beyond 50 mph. Vehicle has about 107,800 miles. It appears that the cvt (continuously variable transmission) is the problem, possible torque converter is bad or the reduced performance is due to cvt fluid temperature protection logic. There aren't any recalls and I checked my VIN on Nissan's website and they state that my Rogue isn't on the list for any of the technical service bulletins. However, this is what I found: Tsb ntb13-079D ' reduced performance due to cvt fluid temperature protection logic ' re0F10A cvt transmission 2008 ' 2013 Nissan Rogue ' tsb ntb14-002D problem ' the reduced performance is due to the cvt fail-safe mode, which will reduce the vehicle speed to protect the transmission from further damage. Consumer stated torque converter and left side axle were bad and were replaced.
While driving on interstate with cruise set on 74 without warning car started to decelerate pushed pedal to the floor rpms went up but car would not go luckily I was able to make it to side of road, gages showed normal. Turned engine off for a few minutes tried to merge back into traffic but car would not move, after sitting on highway in over 98 degree heat in South miss over an hour the car moved but would not go over 60 mph took several hours of having to stop after so many miles and letting it cool off I finally made it home. Turned a normal 45 minute plesant drive into a 4 hour nightmare. It has happened numerous times since so I am paying a note on a car I cannot use when the weather is hot which in South Mississippi is most of the year. Can not afford to take to a mechanic but I have researched the problem however and found out it is a very common issue with this year car.
I've had numerous problems with this car. While driving with my family on the highway for over 1.5 hrs. The car would not accelerate above 60 mph. Another time while highway driving on the oh turnpike 1 hour away from home I lost acceleration while going uphill and coasted to an area to stop. While I was stopped the car smoked and it would not start until after 30 minutes. I was able to make it to a mechanic who informed it may be my transmission and he advised to not go over 60 mph and to take the back roads home.
When driving my 2013 Nissan Rogue further than 30 miles going speeds of 60mph or greater the rpms race out of control, the car dangerously reduces speeds on freeway even while the accelerator is still pressed. I have to turn off car on the side of the freeway for 10-15 mins before trying to drive again, only to have the speeds reduce and rpms race out of control again. If you are trying to go up hill for a short distances or go up hill on entrances ramps, exit ramps, or up hill on bridges there is the same lag in transmission. The rpms race out of control and Rogue dangerously reduces speeds. There is also a loud whining noise when you press accelerator beyond 60mph or going up hills, ramps, or bridges. I'm frustrated with Nissan they know about this issues with this model 2013 Nissan Rogue. They've even extended the transmission warranty for 2008-2010 with the same issue just under a different name. They also acknowledge its a problem for models 2008-2013 through there 2015 Nissan service bulletin. My frustration is Nissan wants me to pay thousands for a known problematic safety issue with these models and years. But refuse to do so. If they can extend the cvt transmission warranty for the 2008-2010 they should also extend the ctv warranty for the 2013 model that's having the same issues with the cvt sensor and valve. I've only had my 2013 Rogue since 08/2019. The Rogue was 'fixed' once but all was done is transmission fluid was changed in 08/2019. Now it's one year later and same exact issues are occurring and they are refusing to fix again as a customer satisfaction.
Transmission needs replaced due to cvt problems which Nissan is aware of and has never issued a recall. Some issues include: Loud/whining noises when accelerating, difficulty accelerating, sudden loss of power, and increased RPM even when speed is decelerating.
Driving for any distance 30-40 miles or more, the transmission fails. The vehicle starts to slow down while the RPM's rise and the transmission starts making a high pitched whining sound. The vehicle loses power and will not accelerate. This happens every time any trip of 30 miles or more is attempted, usually on the interstate. If the vehicle is allowed to sit, usually for 2 hours, the vehicle will start and operate normally for short distances. During the most recent event, .the vehicle had not traveled 30 miles when the transmission failed and during this episode when the transmission whined the engine/transmission started smoking. This has happened many times beginning approximately 2 years with the most recent event being 8/18/20, yet there are no recalls.
During a 600 mile road trip on interstate and 2 lane highways, our 2013 Nissan rouge began having acceleration issues after about 4 hours of driving. Car would not accelerate past 60 mph even with gas pedal pushed all way. This would happen several more times. We found a mechanic in a small town who could not identify any specific problem. In a larger town the Nissan dealership was closed so we took our car to the local tire and oil change to check fluids etc, no issues were found but we went ahead and had oil and filters changed. Problem occurred one more time on our way to our destination. We did not travel on highways for a few days. About 5 hours on our way back home we had the same problem and could not accelerate on the interstate beyond 55 mph, even worse on hills. We pulled over and allowed car to rest for about 45 minutes. We managed to get home. This problem did occur once or twice over the years during daily city driving but never to this extent. Our normal day to day driving does not require highway/freeway driving.
When driving on the highway (more than 70 mph) and the outside weather is hot (80 degrees Fahrenheit or higher), the vehicle suddenly drops acceleration to 60 mph after about 1.5 hours of driving, and will not accelerate any faster than that. This has happened to me three times with this vehicle. Extremely dangerous when driving on the interstate.
Vehicle transmission just stops acceleration loses power. Was almost hit multiple times because vehicle just stops moving. Interstate traveling is almost impossible. Speed will drop 20+ mph and with peddle to the floor will not accelerate. Date listed is today but problem has been for months now.
I was on the highway with no warning the car started to lose power. When I hit the gas the RPM went up but no power. Fortunately I was able to pull off the highway and avoid getting hit. I turned the car off and back on the engine light came on but when put in drive /gear the car wouldn't move. I had to have it towed to my home 30 minutes away. The mechanic looked at it, the code was for speed sensor. Now looking for a mechanic to fix it. I easily could have been in an accident.
