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.
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.
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.
When driving the vehicle for 2 hours or more it looses speed. I was driving back from tenesse to Chicago and it started loosing RPM. I started loosing speed and had issue going up hill. RPM wouldn't go higher than 2. I was in a 70 mile open road. Eventually I had to pull over as I kept loosing speed. I googled the issue and saw complaints in sites about the same issue. I waited 10 minutes turned it on and it ran fine. 2 hours later I had the same issue. This is a risk especially for people who have families like myself.
My daughter was driving my car 4 days ago with heat about 90 degrees. The engine light came on and unable to accelerate even with foot on gas pedal. She was able to pull over and let the car rest for several hours and was able to get home safely. My local mechanic said code PO744 torque converter clutch circuit needs repair. I brought to Nissan dealership today and report no recalls (which I know is incorrect) as also 500,000 vehicles are affected. If Nissan does not pay to fix these obvious cvt transmission defects, I will never purchase or recommend anyone waste a penny on this bs company. Never again! why isn't us protecting our consumers against this unacceptable product?!

As I am driving at highway speed with my cruise control on, it will all of the sudden drop acceleration and shuts off the cruise control. I can push the gas all the way to the floor and it won't do anything. This has happened to me on several occasions. I pull off the road and turn the car off and then back on but it still will barley go or sometimes it will get to a max of about 60 mph but the RPM will rev to 5000. Usually when I get to where I'm going (to work, very late) and my car sits all day then it seems fine on the way home.
When accelerating the vehicle it will stall even while on the interstate and I did a google search that stated this issue is common to most make and models-
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!
Lost speed driving on highway, all of a sudden vehicle lost power and I was stepping on gas pedal and vehicle would not go, I almost got rearended due to vehicle slowing down.
A month ago I was having acceleration issues with my vehicle. I was at a traffic light and could not make the left turn because my vehicle would not accelerate. I was able to pull my vehicle to the side of the road and had it towed. I brought it to Nissan and paid almost $5K for a new transmission. (2nd transmission replacement in the last 3 years). A month later having same acceleration issue, Nissan a week later said I needed a fuel pump. Drove home from the dealership after paying another $915 and my vehicle is giving off a burning smell, making horrible noise which wasn't present previously and struggling to drive.
My vehicle can never accelerate 70+ mph for more than 45 mins at a time, on the highway. The car will slowly start to decelerate to no more than 40mph. I'll have to pull over for about 10 mins and turn the engine off.
A month after buying the vehicle brand new I brought it to the dealership because of excessive shaking and jittering and whining noises. They said it was normal that it's the new style transmission. Now 140K miles later. I'm onn a trip with cruise control set at 75 I noticed I was slowing down it slowed to 60 while driving down the interstate in the middle of fast moving traffic. Turned cruise control off and attempted to accelerate. Once I pressed the gas pedal it did nothing. Rpms didnt go up mph didnt go up. It was like it just shut off. I got to the next exit pulled off on side turned the vehicle off and then back on. It was fine about an hour later it did the same thing so stopped at a gas station checked fluids everything normal. Got back on the interstate it was normal again. Made it to our destination and vehicle seemed fine the next 2 days but we never needed to drive over 55. On the trip home it started again about an hour in. So we stopped ate and got back on the interstate. This time we kept the speed under 65 the entire trip home and it was fine. Brought it to the dealership to get it checked out to find out that it's my transmission that needs to be replaced.
After driving on the highway for about 70 miles or 1 hr I lost complete acceleration although cruise control was engaged. I disengaged cruise but was not able to accelerate. I pulled off the highway, and coasted to a safe spot. I shut the car off for a bit and then it resumed normal driving. This occurred on multiple occasions during my trip from West palm to orlando and on the return trip.
Driving on highway, 65-70 mph, ambient temp about 89 degrees, vehicle has no acceleration, slows to about 45 mph, high pitched whining noise. Manage to get off of highway, after slowing traffic and pull to side of highway. Turned car off, sat by side of highway for an hour plus, started car, turned around and made it home -- about 30 miles -- in about an hour and a half, due to re-occurrence of issue. No lights came on. No warning, just loss of acceleration and inability to keep up with traffic.
While traveling to orlando Florida on Sunday 05/27/2019, my vehicle stopped accelerating on the highway. The more I pressed the gas pedal the slower my vehicle became. By the grace of god an 18 wheeler truck saw my distress and guided me 1 mile to the exit on I-75 South. My car dropped down to 20 mph. This was the most traumatic experience. I was stranded from 6 pm Sunday until 6:30 am the next morning where I was then able to get my vehicle msu ran errands company to tow me 113 miles to my nephew's home in brayselton Georgia where we took the vehicle to a Nissan dealership in buford Georgia. They ran a diagnostic check to find out my transmission was gone. I never had an indication this was going out and now the price to replace this transmission is well over $5,000. I am over 400 miles away from my vehicle and don't know how I will get my vehicle fixed. Dealership told me that since I am not going to get it fixed by them I need to come get it due to them not having room to store it until I can figure out what to do. The warranty only lasted for 60,000 miles or 5 years which ever came 2st. Why can't the warranty on such an expensive part be given a 100,000 mile warranty? people such as myself riding along going about their everyday business ot knowing the vehicle they purchased can literally be a death trap. This is so not right to have to come up with a large amount of cash for such a huge repair and still have a car note to pay. I would like for Nissan to go online and read the reviews of their product, stand by these people and stand by he product. It should not have to wait until someone loose their life to dig deep into seeing the problem.
Car did not accelerate when I pressed the accelerator pedal while I was driving on the highway after about 2 hours driving. This happened with no apparent reason and without any warning. It was very dangerous as I was driving on the left lane and had to cross for lanes in order to stop on the side. Several minutes later, after letting the car to rest, the malfunction indicator light was turned on. After few more minutes the accelerator pedal returned working.
The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle independently decelerated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure occurred intermittently. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,891.
While driving with cruise control on at apprx. 70 mph, car began to slow down dramatically to about 35 miles per hour, despite efforts to accelerate. Pushed gas pedal to the floor to no avail. Trucks had to swerve around me as I attempted to get in right hand lane and pull over. This has happened on several occasions. Sound like the transmission is racing (quite noisy) have to stop turn car completely off and wait. Cannot use cruise control as it is dangerous.
Nissian Rogue 2013 looses transmission power climbing up low/medium/high grades (city and freeway). From town driving to city to long distance traveling any sort of grade. My 2013 Nissan Rogue went from 65 mph to 10 mph going up the "grapevine" on hwy 5 in California. My foot was all the way floored and my car would not go past 10 mph! large big rig trucks were honking at me in the slow lane and almost rear-ended me (trucks could not change lanes into the middle lanes due to traffic)!! as I slowly crept up the steep grade (from bakersfield, ca to los angeles, ca) and then descended, my car began to pick up speed again. Car was not overheated, no unusual noises, smoke, or warning lights. Took car into Nissan service center in san diego. Luckily, I purchased an extended warranty and they serviced my transmission. They reported to me that this is a "known problem with the 2013 Rogues." "many transmissions have had to be replaced in the Nissan 2013 Rogues due to loss of acceleration power, whether city or freeway driving."! I was extremely scared at the immediate loss of power in my vehicle as I tried to accelerate on the grade while big rigs were coming very close to my car! this is a serious problem and can cause fatalities!! big rig trucks cannot slow down instantly and if they are behind a Nissan Rogue that looses acceleration power!! this is a family vehicle and it is very scary to think about the loss of life because Nissan was negligent in recalling known transmission problems. I've researched similar situations as what I experienced in my own 2013 Nissan Rogue and there are many documented complaints, multiple transmission replacements in vehicles less than 5 years old, and yet the problem continues!
