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.

I was travelling on the highway up a long incline when the accelerator pedal stopped working and the car began to decelerate. I was able to pull of the road. I turned the car off, then restarted it and tried to go and the accelerator pedal would not engage. There were no hazard lights illuminated and car temperature was fine. Approximately 15 minutes the car star working normally and I got back on the highway. The car drove okay for a while but on the next big hill the accelerator failed again, this time the cvt (transmission) indicator light came on. After waiting another 15 minutes, the car was still not safe to drive at highway speeds, the accelerator was sluggish and unreliable. I was able to get home by driving slowly on back roads, but will not be able to safely drive it again until this issue is resolved.

Takara recall - while driving on freeway at 70 mph on the freeway, vehicle stopped accelerating and I was forced to pull over. The vehicle then shut itself off. After a few minutes I was able to restart my car but it would only accelerate slowly up to 20 mph. My car did get up to 55 mph finally but I was not able to return to my selected route home. Was forced to drive with hazards on by way of a country highway only.

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.

When I drive my 2013 Nissan Rogue for over an hour the transmission switches to safety mode and reduces the speed in the vehicle. Once it cools down it drivea normal. Tjis has put me in very dangerous situations while driving on the highway. Did all of uts scheduled maintenance and also paid dealership extra for a cvt transmission evaluation. They said the transmission is faulty. Very dangerous to loose power while driving.

Loss of acceleration due to overheated transmission; my 2013 Nissan Rogue with 66,000 miles on it started to lose acceleration on a major interstate (65mph to 30mph). I took it to my local dealership and they told me that this is a common problem with Rogues, and that my transmission fluid was basically getting so hot it was boiling and had caused major damage to my valve body. I had to replace the valve body and put in an external coolant system which cost $2700. The repairs were not covered by Nissan as my transmission warranty was only up to 60,000 miles, however this is a serious manufacturing issue that needs to be addressed by Nissan.

Beginning in November of 2017, acceleration began to have issues. When accelerating, the car would drag and hesitate before fully dropping into gear. All other components worked fine. I would allow the car to heat up 10-15 minutes in the morning and that did not help. Shortly after, each time I step on the gas, the engine revs tremendously despite the slightest acceleration. The pin will not move then move quickly causing a grinding/buzzing sound between 2K & 3K before feeling like it drops I tom gear, even at 15-25mph. This problem continues, but the cause can no to be diagnosed. In January of 2018, the warning lights on the dashboard came on and the car lost acceleration. Upon taking it to the mechanic, I was told everything tested fine, the software simply needed to be reset. After resetting, the light has not returned, but the acceleration issue has not changed. In March of 2018 after experiencing another abrupt slow-down on a side street, I parked the car and smelled a burning of some type of fluid upon getting out of the car. Once the initial smell dispersed, no sign of damage, leaking, or other issue was present. In April of 2018, no further acceleration issues have occurred, but the warning lights again came on. Again, nothing was diagnosed, it was said there was some type of software issue and simply needed to be reset again. Shortly after, the ac unit completely stopped working. I turned off the car, restarted and the system came back on, but no matter what blows out hot air which is hotter often than if the heat is turned on full blast. The car has been well maintained and undergone regularly schedule maintenance and has 84K miles. My mechanic ran the VIN and there's were no open recalls, however, the car was just diagnosed with an 'electrical issue.'

I was driving on IH10, in houston at 60-65mph, 6 lanes. Had driven 10-15 mile, car started trembling at steerring, did not feel in control of staying in my lane. Eased accelerator, tried again, felt same shimmy, unsafe. Easied to 1st exit, asap. 1st auto shop on campbell rd. Drove it, felt it was axle problem, but couldnt get it on lift til Monday. 2nd repair -silber auto service diagnosed same, got on lift within hour. Replaced next 2 days. I left, got rental, back home to nb, tx. Tuesday shop said it did not correct problem. Had it towed home by family Thursday, nb Nissan inspected Friday. 29,000 miles on auto, out of 5yr warranty. 'cannot duplicate concern" I do not feel safe driving Nissan at this time. I had gone to be with 93yr dad heights hospital w fractured lt hip, stayed 2 nites in hospital, started home to work 2 weekend shifts as pedi hh nurse on good Friday. I was prepared to keep auto for at least another 4-5 yr, as I am in late 60's. very disappointed w Nissan, this my 2nd Nissan. Havee read other people with same concerns with same type vehicle. Was hoping they would correct the unsafe " concern". will not trade into Nissan, but must take care of my own life/safety. Have taken good care of Nissan with oil changes, tire rotation, new battery, X2 new tires out of unrepairable flat, torn windshield rubber molding, flapping uncalled for on highway on previous trip to houston. Same nb Nissan repaired on my return. I had 22,000 miles then, last year. Nissan usa was unhelpful, unsynpathetic, I feel its just $$ & business as usual for auto industry. Thats what they do, pitiful.

Loss of ability to accelerate. Transmission will go into fail safe mode after approximately 20 minutes of driving regardless of weather, or town or hwy driving. It has left me with be able to go 40 mph or less on the highway. Will not accelerate after stopping and when it does the rmps will be up near 4000 just to go 10-15 mph. On 3/31/2018 I had to be escorted off the hwy by chp because I couldn't keep up with traffic. This is not the first time is has happen. It occurs just about everyday. I have checked all my fluids there are no lights on my dash.

My Nissan Rogue will suddenly lose the ability to accelerate. This has happened attempting to accelerate from a complete stop, while the car is moving, etc. It has happened on hills and flat surfaces. This is a very dangerous problem, as it has also happened mid turn and on train tracks. I took it in for service, and the dealer stated there was no problem when there clearly is. My own research has shown this is a known problem with Nissan, and is an issue with the cvt. I have complained to corporate and the dealer I took it into.

I was driving on a major highway and all of a sudden I loss power, the car never turned off but as I pressed on the gas pedal it wouldn't accelerate so I had to coast from the left lane all the way to the right lane to get to the emergency lane. Mind you there is oncoming traffic blowing there horn because of course I'm clearly not going the speed limit on the highway. I had to call a tow truck to take me to the closest Nissan dealership which I'm not familiar with because I'm out of town. But once I get there they tell me my transmission is out and I need a new one. I bought this car in 2013 brand new I'm the only driver and my transmission goes out in 2017. I still don't believe it's my transmission but who am I to argue but I have to put up $4,200 and I'm still paying on this vehicle!!! I should have went with my first mind and got my Cadillac. I will be trading this Nissan Rogue in and inform everyone I know not to purchase a Nissan at all. My warranty doesn't cover a thing, wow!!! I've had 2 other mechanics look at and they say it could be my sensors because my speedometer still moves when you give it gas and if it sits a while it will go forward and backward but not for over a mile or two. I really wasted my money on this vehicle.

If you have a sustained speed of over 40 mph for 30 minutes or more the car will stop accelerating. M.carcomplaints.com/Nissan/Rogue/2013/ shown on the link this is very common and very dangerous. The Rogue is expected to be a reasonably priced safe car and no one should expect a $4,500 repair (20% of the purchase price) at 45,000 miles. Nissan knows of this common problem and has chosen to ignore it.

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.

- Harrison, TN, USA

The Nissan Rogue 2013 has approximately 70,000 miles on it, and after extensive research have found my vehicle is not the only one that has a faulty cvt installed. Nissan is fully aware of the hazard they have been selling since 2008. Their vehicles enter "safe mode" after driving longer than an hour due to transmission fluid overheating, as a result of not having a cooler/fan. This safe mode causes your vehicle to lose power immediately and is very dangerous when driving on interstate or even highly trafficked areas. I have contacted Nissan customer service and they refuse to claim responsibility. This mechanical issue cannot be found by Nissan car repairsmen because it is factory installed that way. Please get recall. I have a 4 month old baby who's life is at stake

When I was driving all of the sudden the vehicle started to slow down and would not accelerate. I had the gas pedal pushed all the way to the floor and it would not go past 40 mph this has happened several times. I was on interstate 10 returning home from houston tx on August 17, 2017. I had no problems on the way to houston. I had been doing the speed limit which was between 65 and 75 without the cruise control on. I have been reading up on this and I have found out it is a reoccurring problem with Nissan's rouges and has been for years and that it is known about when you go to the dealerships about the problem.

- Beaumont, TX, USA

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!!!!

The 2013 Nissan Rogue was built without having a coolant valve on the transmission. I can be driving down the road and all of a sudden the RPM on my car with begin going very high and the speedometer will never move all the while I am pressing the gas down to the floor. The car is going almost only 20 or 30 miles per hour at this point. I am not going up a hill or going very fast I usually only travel about 60 or 65 mph. It makes a whining sound and will not accelerate. I did take this issue up with my local Nissan dealership and they said what is happening is since there is no valve to keep the transmission cool then it overheats and loosing acceleration is a kind of way of "self-diagnosing" and attempting to cool down-due to there not being a valve on the car during manufacturing. I do indeed have an extended warranty for 100,000 miles up to 5 years, but they said they can not pay for the part because it was not on the car when it was made. They said they will not pay for parts to be put on the car. On November 25, 2015 Nissan put out a service bulletin on how to put the part on and are well aware that Rogues from 2008-2013 do not have this valve. I feel very unsafe that my car could lose acceleration at any point-and it has on the interstate, highway, and many other places. Nissan states that the Rogue had everything on it it was supposed to, but they can't tell me how they can put a bulletin out on how to fix this issue and they know this issue needs to be fixed, but then won't pay for the issue. I really feel there needs to be some type of recall on a car that does not have the proper valve on it to keep it from overheating. That sounds like a real safety issue to me, a single mother who works and travels with 2 small children.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan rouge. The contact stated while stopped, the vehicle accelerated independently without warning. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle stalled while driving. The contact called an independent mechanic regarding the failure. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but did not offer any further any assistance. The vehicle failure mileage was 100,000.

- Rochester, NY, USA

I have a 2013 Nissan Rogue that the transmission just died on me. The car has 103 K miles and died on me in the middle lane of a 3 lane highway. I was doing 70 mph and the car speed dropped to less than 5 mph. I had my foot on the pedal for a good minute but the car won't go over 5 mph. I finally managed to safely get out of the highway and the car just died on the side of road. Towed the car to the Nissan dealer and was told the cvt transmission needs repaired. They know that older models were covered under a Nissan extended warranty for the cvt transmission, but my 2013 Rogue was not covered and there was nothing they can do. This car is dangerous to drive. The speed on this car should not just drop from 70 mph to 5 mph in a matter of seconds, it is dangerous. Nissan is aware of this problem but won't admit it. Can someone please look into this. There's a lot of people out there driving this cars and not know how dangerous they are. Nissan needs to fix this issue before someone loses their life over this.
