Bought the vehicle in late August 2019 and in mid September started having issues with transmission. Took to a dealer and was told they had transmission issues but vehicle was out of warranty. On 11/3/2019 vehicle was involved in an accident, nobody was hurt and waiting for police report, but I think Nissan should be held accountable and fixed before someone gets killed

I've been have shaking and delays with the cvt transmission. It has altogether failed now and I've only owned the vehicle since the end 2017. It didn't last two years. There is no way I will replace the transmission only to have the same problems again. Shame on Nissan for not valuing their customers enough to fix the cvt problems. If you've settled in court, there should definitely be a recall on all cvt transmissions. I wish I knew about the cvt issues, I would have steered clear of Nissan vehicles. I was driving down the street when it went out. Couldn't accelerate at a stop light.

My daughter was stopped at a red light and when she tried to accelerate the car wouldn't move. She was able to get to the side of the road and after a few mins & a trip to advance auto parts & then a mechanic she was told to bring it home. Then the check engine light came on. She pulled into another advanced auto parts and they reset it. She lost power while driving over 50 mph on back roads and the interstate several more times. This car is not safe to drive. We were told she needs a new transmission and it only has 82K miles. She's a high school student and doesn't have $3,700 so the car just sits while she still makes payments.

We were traveling down I 65 in Kentucky at interstate speed when all of a sudden the car just lost power. The car would barely go 40mph. We were only a few miles from home so we limped the car home. I just purchased the car on the 18th 2 days before. The problem is the cvt transmission but the dealership refuses to admit that is what's wrong. Gillie hyde in glasgow ky. I'm a paralyzed army vet and live on a fixed income and I cannot afford to repair the car. Nissan knew the problems with the cvt transmissions but chose to continue manufacturing the 2013 Rogue knowing the hazardous transmission and how it could cause accidents and deaths.

2013 Nissan Rogue, 100,000 miles. I was driving the vehicle South down the interstate from charleston to orlando, ~70 mph, driving normally in June 2019. Around the ga/fl border, when I would hit the gas pedal to accelerate, the spedometer wouldn't go higher. The engine would rev, and the rpms would increase to 3-4,000. Happened for about 10 minutes until I got to an off-ramp. After the car cooled down for 45 minutes, we got back on the road since it was a Sunday night in the middle of nowhere ga, kingston to be exact. It drove well for the rest of the drive down to orlando with stops every hour. Same thing happened on the way up from orlando to charlotte, rpms went up, spedometer didn't move. Let the car cool and then it drove fine at lower speeds. Took it to a Nissan dealership when I got back and they diagnosed the transmission as having a faulty torque converter, P0744 was the code that came back. 12 hours of labor, saying they needed to replace the transmission. Found the service bulletin: Ntb16-090, and it seems like it's spot on, happened after prolonged driving in high temperatures. After reading the bulletin, it connects the dots for why my engine would sound weird when I was driving in the mountains, the engine would start to sound really trying after some time. Saw that a number of Nissan vehicles have been recalled due to faulty cvt transmissions, and I don't know why Nissan 2013 Rogues have not been recalled yet.

The transmission "stalled" stopped operating as I was at 55 mph, at the end of a steep uphill onramp merging onto hwy 395 from hwy 70 in eastern California. No warning lights on dash showed. Almost got ran over by a large truck. I managed to coast to the side of the hwy. After resting there for 20 minutes or so, the transmission worked partially and I limped it into reno with the flashers on. The Nissan mechanic in reno told me "they do that when they get too hot." This is dangerous.

When driving, the transmission overheats with no indicators. It starts to lose speed and rev very high while the vehicle continuously drops in speed. The diagnostic came back that it was a default in the transmission. The car also jerks, revs, and is very loud.

The car has approximately 85,000 miles. Took into the dealership for service because of rough idling, loss of acceleration and a whining noise when accelerating. Dealership came back and said transmission was bad. Discovered that cvt failure in 2013 Nissan Rogue is common and a known issue. Recalls have been issued for some models but not all even though many owners have experienced the same problems.

Rogue

  • 70 miles
Takata recall. This would be my second time changing this transmission. First time was when my car didn't wanna accelerate and got stuck on 40 mph instead of 70 miles per hour. My Nissan at the time had only 50,000 miles. My Nissan right now has over 150,000 and the transmission slipping again. Did a transmission flush and nothing. I've also notice now when the weather is over 96 degrees the transmission acts up by stalling on 40 mph while driving. Even my ac compression also takes a high effect as well. If it's not one, it's the other.
