This vehicle hesitates when accelerating which can be a deadly hazard when crossing an intersection or anywhere driving. This problem is very dangerous and Nissan needs to repair this potentially deadly problem.
Driving on highway us-90 coming home from new orleans to gulfport. My cars cruise control had stopped working 45 mintues to an hour after I got onto us-49 my check light came on I pressed my accelerate pedtal to the floor an the only thing it did was raise my rpms to almost 6. me an my child in the back seat were almost hit in the rear by an 18 wheeler because my vehicle had trouble with the transmission. When I got back to gulfport ms I stop at a auto-zone an they put it on the digital device an 3-4 codes came up the turque converter was bad in my car. I know from reading on the internet bulletins that Nissan is aware of the problem an hasnt done anyting about it.
The vehicle is not shifting correctly on highway or city, the rpms fluctuate when hitting the gas and and speed does not match the rpms. Which getting to 60mph the car starts to shake and will down shift and which makes the vehicle harder to accelerate and in some cases wont accelerate at all even with the rpms continuing to raise. I have gotten it looked at by certified mechanics and the said they cannot tell the issue especially with no warning lights and no faulty codes. When sitting at a stand still the rpms continue to raise over 2000 even with the vehicle in park.
Vehicle will not get up to speed when driven for a 45 minute period of time and won't allow me to pick.up to state speed I noticed there's been complaints about this issue due to a low temperature governor on the vehicle and that makes it dangerous for the other people traveling due to that issue I was on the interstate 25 traveling South
Driving at highway speeds for about 40 minutes when the vehicle loses power. I stepped on the gas pedal and nothing happened. I had to pull off the highway to avoid getting rear ended.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while his daughter was driving 65 mph, the vehicle independently decelerated to 35 mph and failed to accelerate. There were no warning lights illuminated. The driver pulled over, restarted the vehicle, and the vehicle drove as designed. The vehicle was taken to thruway Nissan (79 NY-17K, newburgh, NY 12550, (845) 562-1000) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the cvt transmission and external oil cooler needed to be replaced as per tsb 16-090. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 130,650.
On our return trip from miramar beach, fl to our home in vestavia hills, al the car's speed abruptly reduced to approximately 45 mph after driving at approximately 60 mph on a state highway (for approximately 1 1/2 hours) but the vehicle would not respond to the accelerator other than to "vroom" when I pressed it with my foot. The problem with acceleration did not correct itself during the remaining 75 miles of the trip. We also smelled an odor like burned oil when we stopped. Very dangerous as all other cars passed us on this Alabama state highway and the subsequent distance on interstate-65. Based on what we have read on the internet, including settlements of class action law suits and extended warranty awards for earlier model years, we believe the problem is related to the Nissan's cvt transmission and it's factory settings.
I've had numerous problems with this car. While driving with my family on the highway for over 1.5 hrs. The car would not accelerate above 60 mph. Another time while highway driving on the oh turnpike 1 hour away from home I lost acceleration while going uphill and coasted to an area to stop. While I was stopped the car smoked and it would not start until after 30 minutes. I was able to make it to a mechanic who informed it may be my transmission and he advised to not go over 60 mph and to take the back roads home.
When driving my 2013 Nissan Rogue further than 30 miles going speeds of 60mph or greater the rpms race out of control, the car dangerously reduces speeds on freeway even while the accelerator is still pressed. I have to turn off car on the side of the freeway for 10-15 mins before trying to drive again, only to have the speeds reduce and rpms race out of control again. If you are trying to go up hill for a short distances or go up hill on entrances ramps, exit ramps, or up hill on bridges there is the same lag in transmission. The rpms race out of control and Rogue dangerously reduces speeds. There is also a loud whining noise when you press accelerator beyond 60mph or going up hills, ramps, or bridges. I'm frustrated with Nissan they know about this issues with this model 2013 Nissan Rogue. They've even extended the transmission warranty for 2008-2010 with the same issue just under a different name. They also acknowledge its a problem for models 2008-2013 through there 2015 Nissan service bulletin. My frustration is Nissan wants me to pay thousands for a known problematic safety issue with these models and years. But refuse to do so. If they can extend the cvt transmission warranty for the 2008-2010 they should also extend the ctv warranty for the 2013 model that's having the same issues with the cvt sensor and valve. I've only had my 2013 Rogue since 08/2019. The Rogue was 'fixed' once but all was done is transmission fluid was changed in 08/2019. Now it's one year later and same exact issues are occurring and they are refusing to fix again as a customer satisfaction.
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.
