When driving on the highway the vehicle will desegregate. Check engine light goes on and off and received 5 different codes for the transmission. Tire 🛞 system comes on and off. The engine overheats a lot especially on hot climates. I drove from New York to North Carolina and had to stop 5 times on the side of the road so the car could cool down.
At 60,000 miles the car had a cvt replacement. 70,000 miles later car needs second transmission replacement. Nissan is aware of their faulty cvt transmissions, but refuses to comply. Car is immaculate aside from cvt failure, not accidents. Used as station car. Car stalled in intersection. Luckily I was able to get to side of road. Very traumatizing
While my 2 daughters(22,17) were driving at highway speed from N.E to Co. the vehicle without warning decelerated and dropped to 35 mph, In a panic she pulled off to the side of the highway and called my wife who googled nissan rogue issues and found that the transmission would overheat and then decelerate to protect its components from further damage without any prior warnings.If you wait awhile and were lucky that the tranny had not failed completely in about a half an hour the vehicle would reset and you would be able to drive it again.My daughters made it home and i started to research the commonly known issue with the C.V.T transmission! 1 week later my wife informed me she has had 4-5 instances where the car will not accelerate and high engine R.P.M.s while being in stop and go traffic or from being stopped at a red light or stop sign.I called Nissan consumer affairs dept.and was told there is nothing they were able to assist with because this car had no recalls and 122,164 miles on it.On Monday 5/31/2021 the car would start but the transmission would not engage, the R.P.M.s would not go above 1000.I contacted Nissan and they told me to bring it to a Nissan dealer for diagnostics.I had the vehicle towed($95.)to Valley Nissan longmont, C0(303-586-4311)Saied told me "the tranny had failed, and there were a few gaskets that needed replaced.$147.for diagnostics and the estimate to repair is $4281.I called Nissan C.C 1(888-388-0318)to report the findings and was again told"I am sorry but there is NOTHING we can help you with.I asked Valley Nissan if they would be able to help out and they offered to help by reducing labor and materials for the replacement and repairs to $3859.54.I cannot at this point afford to make the needed repairs, I am not working currently. Nissan Case# 43974262.The car is registered under my wife Harriet Langer.
My 2012 Nissan Rogue sv that I purchased 16 months ago has had the same reoccurring problem where you'll be driving and the accelerator will get real hard and drop down to 20 miles an hour it's been in the shop seven times had several parts replaced the problem seems to have no reoccurrence theme it's hard to figure out why and when it does it we've gone as long as six months and 4000 miles without issue or three times in the same week the problem is it's almost caused 4 bad accidents we are very lucky my wife is scared to drive it I would do anything to get it fixed but we've tried and tried and tried and it just doesn't seem anybody can figure out what's wrong with it as much as I don't want to put it on the road again we don't have the means to just walk away, the car has 78K miles and runs great except for this dangerous issue
After an 1.5 hours on an interstate (non-stop driving) the vehicle begins to decelerate speed. With no light indicator or explanation. The accelerator gauge is going up and down really quickly, like the car is out of sync with the speed. No indicator light or anything turns on. I will be going at a speed of 75 or 80 and without warning, it decreases in speed. I can put the pedal to the floor and it still continues to slow down. There is no overheating fumes or smell at all. I have to pull over and wait until the engine cools down before returning onto the highway. This happened the first time in 2017 (probably 70,000 miles) when I took a road trip and I though it was a one time occurrence. Unfortunately, it has happened several times afterwards, but always after I've been on the road for more than an hour. I've taken it in to be serviced twice, the water pumps were replaced, but still I have the same issue. The most recent incident happened September 2020. I thought I was the only one having this issue until I looked online and saw others complaining about the exact same thing. I just try not to take long road trips. Day to day driving is not an issues.

I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue two weeks after buying this vehicle brand new the engine light came on, it was showing air mass flow sensor on a code reader and was replaced several times not fixing the problem today 8 years later the engine light still on, sometimes it just shuts off for a couple days on its own then it comes right up, noe sometimes while driving the car looses speed and it starts to shake back and forth and the traction light comes on, this is a serious accident waiting to happen, I have to safely park the car shut it off wait about 2 minutes and start the car again for the traction light to come off and drive normal again,
In November 2017, while driving in one of the passing lanes on qew driving from buffalo, NY to toronto, Canada, at appx 70 mph, the car started losing power and speed. The RPM started revving alot but the car speed decreased rapidly. The cars behind me almost rear ended me at this speed. I was on a 4 lane thruway and it was difficult to pull to the right side of the road to the shoulder because all of the cars were speeding around me. Quite frankly, it was a terrifying situation to be in as semi trucks and other cars going 70 - 80+ mph were speeding up behind you as your vehicle lost power. I pulled to the side of the road and let the car rest for about 1/2 hour then started to drive again. I drove the next 30 miles at appx 35-40 mph with my 4 way flashers on. The car did eventually get back to speed and seem to drive normal. Mileage was appx 125,000- 130,000. This happened a second time in March 2019. I drove appx 65 miles on country roads in a rural area to pick up my elderly mother to take her to the hospital. The car suddenly lost power. The RPM's were going crazy, the car lost power. After about 20 minutes, the car eventually got back to speed again. I was afraid to drive her to the hospital in my car and fortunately a neighbor let me use their car to Transport my mom to the hospital. The next day I went to drive my car the 75 miles back home and it drove okay but I was very worried I would not make it home. Mileage was appx 145,000. This happened a 3rd time August of 2019 while traveling wb on the nys I-90 thruway. Again, I was in the passing lane traveling about 70 mph when the RPM's started going crazy and the car lost power. This time a semi truck was behind me and quickly closing in on my car. Again, it was tough to get to the right side of the road to get out of fast moving traffic. Mileage appx 160,000.
I'm just so upset with this vehicle. When you drive for about an hour the truck won't go past 70. It starts to slow down and you can't get any speed. I was going to wv and it started messing up I couldn't even pull the hill. It would just go so slow, couldn't get in another lane. It was so scary thought I was gonna get hit. The car always has an whinning noise when your on the road over 30 minutes. You have to cut the truck off, let it sit a while to get the speed to come back up. The next day I was on my way to the beach and it would not go past 20mph. Mash the gas to the floor and it would just make noise. Other than that I like the truck. Every time I take it to the dealership they are trying to charge me almost 1,000 dollars for something that they knew about before they sold these cars to the consumers. Nissan need to recall these cars, they are very dangerous especially if your on the highway with babies in the car.
The cvt transmission failed at 113,000 miles while we were driving on the freeway which resulted in us almost getting into multiple accidents. We had gotten the engine serviced every 3,000 miles for the past five years so the failure was not due to neglect.
While traveling on the interstate between 70-80mph my vehicle dropped to 60mph and would not accelerate past 60mph, then when pulling off an exit scared it wouldn't go past 20mph. This put my son and I's safety at serious risk with having no control over acceleration. I got to a mechanic which did a diagnostic and told me it was torque converter with transmission. The car only has 65K miles. This is insane to have these issues and clearly this needs to be a recall. I fortunately purchased a transmission warranty. Waiting to see what the total damage is. This should absolutely be a safety recall.
My car failed inspection due to a defective mass air flow. I have just changed the mass air flow, and my car still continues to show the check engine light. The vehicle drives really slow the gas mileage is terrible,
Whenever my car is in motion, when trying to climb a hill, it would stop automatically. And often times, I would have to reverse my car, turn it off and gently drive it up the hill for fear that it may shut itself off. I have had to change the air mass flow 3 times. The check engine light has been on since September, and when I took it to the shop, the diagnoses came back as the air mass flow, after I have just replaced it. The car would automatically not get gas for no apparent reasons. I am not comfortable driving on the freeway any longer.
The vehicle was being driven on the highway and the acceleration completely dropped. The car would not go over 20 mph! there was a recall up to 2010 Nissan Rogue for the cvt transmission but doesn't cover 2012. The error was torque converter clutch solenoid circuit intermittent. The Nissan dealership said they don't replace that part and it needs a whole new transmission for $5000. I find it hard to believe other vehicles in 2012 have a recall for the transmission but not the Rogue.
When driving for so long as in long distance the vehicle won't accelerate. Speed limit could be 75 mph and after on the highway for about a hour car speed will drop and won't accelerate pass 60 mph. Gas pedal could be all the way down and still won't accelerate.
Many times while driving on a highway, usually going uphill, I have troubles with the vehicle's acceleration. The car starts to make a funny sound, as if it's trying to accelerate, but is unable to. I've had to pull over because the car will slow down and will not go past like 40 miles per hour, even if I'm stepping on the gas. It's very dangerous because I'm typically not in the slow lane, so I start to impede traffic when this happens, and cars get really close to hitting me.
My car will stop accelerating as I'm going up a hull on a high way or when I stop it won't accelerate back back until I turn the car off and then back on.
I've had problems with acceleration of car twice on the highway. Car feels and sounds like it is stuck in one gear. I couldn't drive faster than 75 mph. Car started to slow down even with my foot on the gas pedal. Speed dropped from 75 to 65, from 65 to 60, from 60 to 55, from 55 to 49, from 49 to 45, from 45 to 30, from 30 to 10 mph. All of this happened within 2 miles of the nearest exit. I tried using cruise control to maintain speed at 65 mph, but it didn't work. Car towed by aaa on 9/10/17.
2012 Nissan Rogue lost acceleration while on a trip. Rogue would not go more then 30-40 mph in a 80 mph speed zone on highway. Almost got hit a couple times trying to keep up with traffic and having to pull over to give the car a break. It was very dangerous with being 7 months pregnant, driving in a no service area. Couldn't call for help. It was hot out to have to stop with my self and three dogs in the car.
Driving for 20 minutes on highway, travelling at 75 mph. Changed lanes, slowed down to 65mph. Attempted to accelerate, RPM stuck at 2400, vehicle wouldn't accelerate past 70 after taking 10 seconds to rise to that from 65mph. Didn't go past 2700rpm. Got off highway, stopped at a stop light. Light turned green, car rose very slowly to 2000 RPM, accelerated very slowly to 30mph. This continued for 5 minutes, pulled over and parked for 1 hour. Started driving again, 30 minutes later car stuck at 2400 RPM, couldn't accelerate past previous travelling speed. Took to dealer, no diagnostic codes found, of course, 140 dollars later no resolution. Car has 70,935 miles on
