Rogue

  • 160,000 miles
Was on the highway again and the car once over 80 mph, stop accelerating in the middle of the highway in major traffic and decreased to 20 mph and starting shaking again and stopped. The car would not move and I was almost plowed by a semi. I called Nissan before because this same thing happened last July 2018, and there have been complaints by others. They advised I needed to take it to Nissan and they might assist with whatever could be wrong, but they made it seem as if it was nothing. Once again there was no power coming through the car, no sensor lights came on, the car smelled like it was going to catch fire and it would only excel and not move before it cut off. Luckily I was able to get it pushed over on the main highway.

The computer is corrupted and could be possibly hacked, system sensors all been replaced except ambient air pressure. Codes for O2 sensors and map come in while catalyst converter is still good. Hacking of the computer could take place through that of the xm radio part for a pathway of such.

Rogue

  • 104,000 miles
One week after purchasing the car, I took it on the highway where the speed limit is 75 mph. After about an hour the speed slowed to 65, then 60, then 50 etc., even tho the gas pedal is to the floor. Cruise control also had no effect. I had to pull over in a very dangerous situation. After a few minutes, I got back on the road and up to speed again. This has happened now 3 times in 2 days.. so obviously I don't feel safe taking it on a busy highway. From what I gather, this is a transmission cooling issue and is remedied by installing a $1200 external cooling unit of some sort that Nissan is aware of but won't address(?) I am not happy.

Rogue

  • 109,500 miles
Vehicle was at 109500 miles, oil change 6 months prior and due for oil change at 110000 miles. No irregular noises and no warning lights. Was driving in the city for about 5 minutes and on highway for five more minutes. Noticed burning smell in city but was behind a truck and dismissed it as there were no signs of problems in my car. About five minutes later, on I-90 eb in mt baker tunnel, noticed flames coming out of the front left hood. Pulled over and called 911. Wsdot responded to incident, and geico deemed car a total loss. Nissan sent inspector who said they did not find manufacturer defect. Geico inspector said they could not determine the cause of the fire due to extent of damage.

When the cvt transmission gets hot the power from engine to transmission begins to reduce. This safety feature leads to massive fuel consumption as well as complete loss of power while driving. This has caused myself to be stuck in the middle of intersections on multiple occasions. This "safety feature" didn't start doing this until 50 miles past the warranty expired. At first it would take hours of driving before this would happen and it seems like each time it happened it took less and less driving time before it would happen again. Currently my Rogue is around 150K miles and I can't go more than 20 miles before it happens. I took the Rogue into shops for a full tune-up every30K miles trying to be sure it last for as long as possible, so I know it isn't an issue of neglect. I have researched online trying to find a solution to the problem and all I have found are thousands of other owners with the same issue. Some owners have had the problem begin as early as the 10K mark. Since the introduction of the cvt transmission every vehicle it is used in has this problem. Nissan needs to address this problem before it causes a death from pure neglect on their part. I've owned 4 Nissan vehicles and loved them all but his is the first one I had that didn't make it past 100K miles before having a major issue.

When I apply the brakes, the car sometimes just shuts down completely and turns off. I have been able to then put the car in park, and restart it. It has happened when I have slowed the car down to go over speed bumps, when I stopped at a stop sign or red light. It also happened on a highway on-ramp. Nissan has not been able to fix it.

  • 80,000 miles
I bought a new 2010 Nissan Rogue sl AWD in July 2010. At about 50-60K miles, the engine would cut off if I came to an abrupt stop after traveling about 60-65mph and then braking ' at a red light for instance. I have also had an issue with the car not accelerating on the highway when pressing on the gas. This happened few times and I took the car to the dealer's service department, who said they could not identify a problem after doing a test drive. I find hard to believe Nissan is not aware of this issue with these many complaints of same or very similar problems. Today, 9/27/16, my car engine cut off while entering the highway, I was super lucky my car was not hit by a truck, which could have ended with me being killed.

Rogue

After driving on the highway for about an hour, the car decelarates and I am unable to keep up with traffic. This will continue until I am going about 55 mph. Once I get off the highway and stop, the car will not go again until after a few minutes. This can be very dangers when trying to get into traffic after traveling onthe highway. This has happened 4 times now. This needs to be recalled by Nissan asap.

I own a 2010 Nissan Rogue, which will, without notice, after running a few miles in a highway, it hesitates and loose all accelerations.. have had near rear end collisions. Mechanic says its the Nissan roque's cvt transmission. I have read several complains about the same problems. Nissan should have a national safety recall on this. Thanks for your help.

Rogue

  • 50,000 miles
I have a 2010 Nissan Rogue that has 60,000 miles and the last couple of years it has began to lose speed when on the highway going 65mph. When I would push on the gas pedal it would not accelerate past 40mph. This would happen when driving longer than 1 hour and when going uphill. None of the service lights would light up, but it was very scary driving on a highway going 65mph one minute and then 40mph the next minute, especially this highway has a minimum speed limit of 55mph! this has been my only real safety issue with this vehicle other than the tires constantly deflating and the AWD does not do as well I expected in the snow.

I have Nissan rouge 2010. I bought it brand new. Everything was ok until last 7, 8 months when start with problems. Every time when I drive car more than 45 + miles on highway my speed and power goes rapidly down from 70 mph to 40mph and below with noise from engine. If you try to accelerate does not work. You press pedal to the floor nothing is happening. The worst part is all this come without any warnings. I did some online research and I was shocked that a lot of people have same problem. Most likely is transmission. Yesterday me, my wife and five years old daughter were driving from houston, tx to san antonio tx which is 180 miles, I was driving 70-75 mph on I-10 when same thing happened again I lost my speed to under 40 mph and 18 wheeler behind us almost hit us. We were very lucky that day. I think problems with those small SUVS somebody needs to take seriously and those vehicles should be recall before tragedies starts. 06/26/2016

While going down the highway at 75 mph all of a sudden it starts to decrease speed. This has happen a couple of times. I would like to know what Nissan is going to do about this since there are several people that has had this very same complaint. Something needs to be done about it. There needs to be a recall on this since there are so many people complaining about this. Why doesn't Nissan want to stand behind their product. I love my Rogue. I would like this problem dealt worth in a timely manner please. I imagine everyone would.

We have a 2010 Nissan rouge that will be driving fine then all of a sudden it starts decelerating to less than 70 mph on a busy interstate. Even trying to push the gas pedal all the way down does not do anything. We purchased this Nissan for our child to drive to college because we thought it would be safe. We have major concerns about this happening every time it is driven on the interstate. Does not have this problem when driven just locally. It only has 65K miles on it. Thought Nissan's were supposed to last forever and be safe. Don't feel safe sending my child to college in it anymore because this is happening so frequently.

When driving it suddenly stopped without a warning. When I went to check all the coolant was spilled. It scape through a tiny whole made from inside out in the transmission thermostat in the tubing connected to the transmission. I think Nissan is using poor quality materials for the cooling system tube connectors. Y have a 20 years old Hyundai and its cooling system has never failed. I also have a 15 years Toyota corolla and its cooling system has never failed. The concern thermostat perforated through its wall from inside out.

Rogue

  • 71,000 miles
The car developed a problem where the transmission was slipping and I noticed fluid leaking. Took to dealer, and I had additional coverage for repairs and break down. They told me the enclosed transmission developed a leak due to corrosion. That corrosion damage is not covered, and it cost $400 to remove the part rather than replace it. The car has a grinding vibrating sound when driving. The cvt is known to have this issue, and the transmission is sealed so you can't check your fluid level and it is required to only use Nissan manufactured transmission fluid. The cvt is tied into a fail safe mode that can be activated by high temperature in the engine. A cooling kit has been recommended but I have read mixed posts as to the dealerships charging to put it into the car. The car has been known to totally lose power while driving if it goes into this fail safe mode or when the cvt just fails completely. Warranty was extended to 10yrs/120000 miles for cvt.
