I have a 2013 Nissan Rogue. I have had it a little over a year and at right below 60K miles it started acting funny. At first it was like it was having problems shifting while on the highway. Wasn't constant but here and there. I took it in to a mechanic an they said there was nothing wrong. I kept driving it. Later on it started to jump on flat roads, took it to the dealership still nothing wrong with it. I then was having trouble going up hills, an eventually I would loose speed an couldn't go anywhere. I had to park on the side of the road or highway and wait 20 minutes, then my car would be fine again, until the next big hill. I brought it a Nissan dealership they said I needed my transmission fluid changed so I paid the $200 an had it changed or flushed or whatever it is that they do. I still had problems to the point where now my car is not moving. I brought it back an the Nissan dealership now said that I had multiple problems with my transmission an it was going to be very expensive to fix, that I should just replace it. But why? my car is 5 years old an has less then 60K miles on it. Ive heard plenty of stoires of Rogues doing this, I feel like there should be a recall of some sort.
I was driving for about 40 minutes uphill on a freeway when my 2013 Nissan Rogue started to lose speed. First I couldn't accelerate more than 60mph, then 45mph. I had to be towed home and was told I need a new transmission. After reading so many similar complaints, I am convinced this should be investigated and recalled.
The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. While driving 65 mph on the highway, the vehicle shut off. The contact stated that the speed reduced to 20 mph as the vehicle was being pulled off to the shoulder. The vehicle would restart, but shut off again even with the cruise control activated. The vehicle was able to be restarted and was slowly driven home. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who stated that the transmission failed. The dealer (abeloff Nissan, 3259 pa-611, bartonsville, pa 18321, (877) 715-4935) stated that there was no failure with the vehicle. After the vehicle left the dealer, the check engine indicator illuminated. The independent mechanic confirmed the transmission failure, but the dealer insisted that there was no failure and sent the contact a computer printout to back up their opinion. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 92,300. Consumer stated car makes noise once in awhile when she steps on the gas pedal. Updated 11/21/18jb
Cvt transmission/automatic transmission problems: The entire transmission had to be replaced as it stopped working completely in the middle of the street. While in motion. After researching online, the #1 problem for 2013 Nissan Rogues is this exact issue. These transmissions were build poorly.
Cvt transmission died while on the highway. Three different times this happened to me in the highway going at 75 mph and lost complete acceleration with the gas pedal depressed all the way. My rpms went up to 8000 this last time. Rosen Nissan in madison did the diagnostic on it on the Thursday prior to my departure on my trip, and said that all that needed to be done was transmission fluid replaced. Apparently there wasn't anything wrong with it in the first place. Prior to my having this all done I had researched why my car would stop accelerating completely and the reasons were due to the cvt transmission which had been recalled in a number of Rogues and murano and versa's. many had to have their transmissions replaced and they extended the warranties on some of the models to 120K/10 yr. Mine wasn't! tell me why a car with 110K that's 5 yrs old would all of a sudden die if there's not something wrong with the actual reliability of the way the transmission was built in the first place? going in circles with Nissan they're denying anything wrong on their end and won't replace something that clearly a lot of issues have been reported with this transmission!! someone please make Nissan accountable!

The car started de accelerating as I drove. Going from 70 to 45. It wouldn't pick up speed as I pulled off an exit to get to a gas station. I live in atlanta and took a trip to savannah. It did this the whole way down and back. I've only had car since Feb 2016. It has roughly 102000 miles and some change
Fuel tank needle stays either full or empty no matter how much fuel in the tank. The check engine light stays on. Diagnosis shows faulty fuel level sensor
The cvt belt causes the car to stall out while in driving conditions. While driving and pull up to a stop while the car is at normal operating temperature the car will stall and won't take off. Some intersections I have approached have almost caused accidents so to this problem. I fear for my family and the other drivers on the road due to this problem.
I was driving in Arizona on a highway in my 2013 Nissan Rogue. The vehicle has 54,000 miles. The speed limit was 75 mph. Suddenly the vehicle would not let me accelerate, the rmps would not let me go past 2500. I was driving in the left lane on a two lane highway and could not pull over due to other traffic. The temperature gauge was not even half way. No service or engine lights engaged. Kicked the car out of cruise control and couldn't turn the air conditioning on. This has happened a few times in the past. The 2013 does not have the extended warranty for the transmission so Nissan continuously tells me they cannot help me.
If car is in drive but stationary (like in a traffic light), the engine starts to vibrate substantially forcing the driver to shift to neutral. By doing the above the car can move backward impacting other vehicles, cars etc.
The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. While driving at unknown speeds for over an hour, the vehicle lost power and stalled. Also, the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to hoffman Nissan (46 albany turnpike, canton, ct 06019, (860) 651-3256) where it was diagnosed that the transmission oil was not cooling. In addition, the transmission needed to be replaced and an air cooler needed to be installed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer opened case number: 31451265 and offered to cover fifty percent of the repair cost. The failure mileage was 60,000. The VIN was not available.
Driving over mountain pass from denver to sliverthorn I lose power and can not get speed above 45mps and dropping. Driving denver to capser engine over heats and stalls at overpass with no power to drive for 10 min until engine cooled down. Driving from jackson hole to landers car stalled on hwy and had to be shut down for 15 min to cool before could drive. Engine is till running at these times but no power or drive and seems like engine is overheating. Is safty hazord on road because it will stall out with no notice and no way to even get power to move off of road if come to complete stop after 2-3 hr drive and stop at light. Seems to be worse durring summer months when it is hotter outside (like last week driving over eisenhouer pass/tunnel) that it does driving the same road in winter. Thought there was a recall for this already and niassan was working on it in hotter areas like tx first then then getting to other regions but is also effecting driving here in co. Date it has happened are several 08/25/2014 (casper overpass) 09/10/2015 (landers wy on hwy) 05/18/18 on I-70 going up eisenhower pass/tunnel no power made it to town and stopped to eat to give time to cool off but with they way the car has prefomed in past and was losing power if mps would have gotten to 20mps and I would have stopped car would have been stalled at least 15 min on the road. The only thing I hate about the Rogue is loss of power and overheating. Please F/U with manufacture to check into engine overheating. I know my sister also owned one that had to have heat sensor placed on engine to help with overheating on one side and here model was also a Rogue close to same year. Needs to be investigated before someone loses power and gets hit on hwy. 2014 hwy speed 70-75 45000. May 2018 65mps before pass and dropping to 40-45 on pass. Landers 65mps 2014 55000, 2018 mtn 96000
The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. In addition, the vehicle made a loud whining noise while accelerating. The dealer (cannon Nissan in jackson, Mississippi) was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000. The VIN was not available.
Driving from yuma to san diego doing 70 to 80 miles per hour until I hit the hills. I reduced my speed to 65 and set my cruise control. Never had A/C on it was still cool, before noon. Half-way through the hills I lost acceleration and cruise control shut-off. Rest of the way through the hills was in the slow lane/emergency lane going 25 to 30 miles per hour. Finally made it through the hills but by the time I was able to exit I8 I was going 20 then 15 then 10 miles per hour. After an hour of letting the car sit I started again put in in reverse and that's as far as I got. I had no power at all in "D" or "L", had to have it towed 51 miles. Obviously Nissan has a problem with the Rogue model after reading other complaints on carcomplaints.com.
There is a known default with the year and make of vehicle I own, yet Nissan has failed to issue a recall, even though it could result in death. When driving the vehicle for 1.5 hours or more at speeds of 65 mph or greater, the transmission overheats, and causes you to lose acceleration and power. I lost power on the parkway, was unable to move from the right lane, I couldn't even make it to the shoulder before losing all ability to accelerate my vehicle. Nissan recommends adding an external part to the transmission to cool the transmission fluid, but the part is more than $700. I would think that this issue would be very similar to the issue with the Chrysler ignition switches. If I am driving my car 70 mph or more on the interstate, and suddenly lose power, I am likely going to get hit, and if the other vehicles are traveling 70 mph or more, that is going to cause very serious injuries at the very least. There are many, many complaints about this known issue on Nissan forums.
Cvt transmission. One owner comepletes all regular maintenance. While driving on the interstate the car makes a whining noise, loses power and will not accelerate. This caused semis to grid lock I moved off road to avoid getting hit and causing a multi car pile up. I look up and see complaints of the same nature by the 100's and sadly Nissan isn't willing to address the issue with the cvt on later models but extended the warranty on previous models with the same transmission.
The vehicle idles and vibrates constantly when the gas pedal is used. My wheel may not vibrate 10 minutes out of a half hour drive. It either barely will take off from start or it completely floors it and excels. Feels like a diesel rugged vehicle and not a smooth normal ride like any car or SUV should ride. I complained the day it was purchased and have hated it ever since.
At around 56,000 miles the engine would rev on its own when id go up hill then no problems until 6 mths ago where @ 66,000 miles the car would desperate on its own from 70mph to 55 then 25 on the highway. I had to drive with my hazards on. I would then push the gas pedal to the floor and it would take 10 seconds to get to 50mph. The car has no power it seems like.
There is am acceleration issue with this car. When traveling 70 mph on the highway the rpms will go up to 4000 pr higher and lose acceleration. I went from 70 mph to less than 30 mph within seconds on a hill. Once I got to the top of the hill to where I could safely pull over to the side of the highway I turned the car off. I had to leave it off for at least 10 mins before I got the acceleration power back. If I tired before that it wouldnt accelerate even with the pedal to the floor. I have read a lot of complaints on this and nothing is being done. I was told it is the cvt transmission. I have only had this car for less than 2 years and it only has 76000ish miles on it. This issue has happened to me not once, twice, three times but five times now on the highway since reaching 60000+ miles on the car!! this is absolutely ridiculous and a major safety concern that needs to be recalled and addressed. I have 3 kids and if I get into a crash because of this I will be suing Nissan for this faulty issue!!!!
