My transmission has started sounding as if I have a manual transmission instead of automatic. It acts as if it is waiting for the gear to be shifted at low speeds and high speeds. Also, driving to austin last week, I notice that I was not able to accelerate past 60 on multiple occasions. I had no idea what the issue was. My mpg also flutters back and forth. After arriving back home I looked up so information and found out that there are numerous other rodgers owners with the same issue. If this is the case, I am confused as to why they are still selling them. And why there has not been a massive recall. Had I known this, I would never have gotten this vehicle. If it is a known manufacturer if issue, the company should be fixing these problems. I will not stop until, I get my car fixed or money back.

Vehicle will decelerate on the highway with gas pressed to the floor. Vehicle loses power and I have to pull over for the engine to "cool off" before proceeding. It happens on the highway. I took it to a Nissan dealership and they told me I needed to replace my transmission. I don't even have 100,000 miles on my car, transmission should not be failing.

Anytime I drive more than 30 minutes my acceleration doesn't work. This is especially true if I stop at a stoplight and it takes a bit before my car will start driving again. It's only a matter of time before I get hit from behind because cars think I should be moving but my car is incapable of it. This happens every day.

When driving my car will be moving just fine and out of nowhere I will loose ability to accelerate. The car will go up to 3 RPM and stay, will not go faster with the pedal to the floor. This will happen wether the car is in cruise control or not. The car will also loose ability to go up hills and properly accelerate from a stop. This happened last summer and has been fine fine this winter. Friday it started again this time in heavy traffic. This almost caused a semi to crash into us as it went from 70 mph to 50 very quickly without warning. This car is not safe for this reason. They only way I know to fix it is to stop, turn off the car and wait. This does not mean it will fix it. I have looked into it and it seems to be an issue with the transmission. This car does not have enough miles to warrant a new transmission.

Car just hit 85,000 miles. My Nissan 2013 rouge is dangerous and an extreme safety hazard. When at a turning at stoplight in hot weather (all the time in ca) the cvt transmission slows the car to almost a complete stop. You just turn off and on the car to restart. I've almost been T-boned 2X, completely hazard. Also, on the highway after driving an hour it failed to go over 40mph in a 65 zone. Also an extreme hazard, this cvt transmission must be recalled and replaced at no cost to consumers immediately. Part is faulty due to negligence of Nissan.

Complete loss of power when driving down the express way. Intermittent issue though happens mainly on the expressway or just leaving the off ramp. I see many other people are having the same issue with their Nissan Rogues from 2008-2014. It is very dangerous my wife was almost rearended on the expressway because she cant accelerate. It happens randomly and is getting worse and more often as time goes on. Mechanics have no clue how to fix the issue besides replacing the entire transmission. She had to drive all the way home going 25mph down the expressway yesterday from ohare where she works as a flight attendant home here in lake villa, il. This needs to be resolved!! she us now afraid to drive her own car.

Rogue 4-cyl

  • 65 miles
After cruising the car at highway speeds (70mph) for around an hour the car begins to slow down on it own and even flooring the gas pedal won't increase the speed, it will just rev at high RPM and start slowing down. The can barely speed up to 30mph after that after continuing to flooring the gas pedal and revving the car at its highest RPM. There are no engine lights. The car has to be turned off for 10-15mins but sometimes even that does not help. When taken to dealership they offer to put a new transmission which cost around $4000. This is a major issue for all Rogue cars.

Rogue

  • 130,000 miles
I was driving on the highway at the speed limit of 70 mph. I had the cruise control set and was coming up to a small hill. The car began to accelerate as normal to get up the hill. As soon as I began to descend the hill, the car was still trying to accelerate and the rpms started to get up to the 6000S. I immediately turn of cruise control and let the rpms go back down before trying to accelerate to stay going to speed limit. The car would not accelerate and the rpms would go up quickly with barely any touch to the gas pedal, so I pulled over on the side of the highway. The car gave me no warning what so ever and left me in a dangerous situation. While trying to pull off the highway at a safe speed with 18-wheeler trucks having to slow down and go around me causing other cars to slam on their breaks to avoid rear-ending the trucks.

Car will stop accelerating when driving on the freeway for over an hour. This has happened about 10 times now. It only had about 50,000 miles on it the first time it happened. Several independent body shops could not detect the problem. In viewing other complaints, sounds like it's the transmission. Nissan needs to recall 2013 Nissan Rogues for this problem!

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.

Rogue 4-cyl

  • 91,000 miles
The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. While the contact was merging into highway traffic, the rpms suddenly revved; however, the vehicle grinded almost to a halt. As a result, the contact's vehicle was almost rear ended by other vehicles. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road. The engine continued to run; however, whenever the accelerator pedal was depressed, the rpms would rev again and the vehicle would move slowly. The contact was able to slowly drive the vehicle home and had it towed to balise Nissan of West springfield (500 riverdale St, West springfield, MA 01089, (413) 746-2266). The dealer provided a repair estimate of $3,400 and stated that the failure seemed to be caused by the continuously variable transmission. The vehicle was in the process of being diagnosed. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 91,000. Consumer stated transmission was replaced and paid $3,526.45.
