Driving on I-76 on cruise control at 75 mph when vehicle starts to run rpms in excess of 4K while losing acceleration. Pull over and turn off vehicle. Check under the hood, slight burning smell. Wait about twenty minutes, turn vehicle on, won't accelerate at all. Wait some more, drives for a little while, then high acceleration with loss of speed again, this time never going over 60 mph. I'm lucky I was not rear ended on the interstate and killed with my two year old son.

After driving on a highway with my Nissan rouge 2010, with continuous speed of 55 to 60 mph for about half hour, and then came to a full stop, due to traffic congestions, the car won't run or accelarate, even if I push the (gas) pedal all the way to the floor. I have to turn off, and turn off the engine to get it going again. It happened many times during warm or hot weather. In winter, it seems to be fine. The dealer said it was transmission problem, but they charged me, even they have not found or fix any issues.

Drive shaft broke and took out shift gear cable.. car was in motion and just stopped dead in middle of the road. Upon calling Nissan to inquire cost of drive shaft they replied " we have them in stock because this is very common, happens all the time"

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.

The contact owns a 2010 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 70 mph, the vehicle went into safe mode and independently decelerated. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The contact stated that the failure usually occurred after two hours of continuous driving. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced the issue several years ago and the transmission was replaced by the manufacturer free of charge. The manufacturer was contacted and informed that the failure recurred. The dealer information was not available. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 128,324.

After approximately 2 hours of driving on the highway, the transmission goes into "limp" mode. Nissan states this is the result of the transmission overheating and the only solution is installing a new Nissan external cooler. Car will barely reach 55-60 mph especially if going up hill. Also, once the car is stopped it will not accelerate quickly. The first time this happened it gave no warning and it almost caused an accident due to the accelerator not responding when my attempting to turn across oncoming traffic. This is going to cause an accident with serious injuries or worse if not addressed. There was no warning the transmission had overheated and gone into this mode. The first sign was the car simply failing to accelerate with the gas pedal depressed to the floor. Multiple times the car has just suddenly decelerated in heavy highway traffic from 75 mph to 55 mph after only 1.5-2 hours of highway driving. This seems to be a significant defect that is going to cause an accident. Also it appears that this issue has been ongoing for a extended period of time with little to no effort from the manufacturer to address the issue.

On the highway going an a 1.5 hour trip the 2008-2010 rouge transmission will over heat causing the vehicle to go into "limp" mode with no warning which means it has no power. Nissan sent out a service bulletin to their service departments in September 2016 acknowledging their is a defect and the fix is an external cooler but they refuse to fix my car. If a family of 4 is in the car and they don't know what to look for the vehicle could go into "limp" mode and when they try to pull back onto the highway they could lose power right in the middle of the highway and get struck by oncoming traffic and be killed. Who would answer for that? fletcher Nissan in joplin mo are the ones who told me to contact you because Nissan corporate are the ones refusing to fix the issue. It has happened to my family several times in our car. At first they said we just needed the transmission flushed. We bought the car with 10000 miles on it and it has been doing it ever since we have had it. Luckily I knew what to look for and kept my family out of harms way. Josh houchin the service mgr. At fletcher Nissan said they have had 5 2008-2010 rouge vehicles come in in just the last few months with the same defect. So it is not just my vehicle. They need to recall all the affected vehicles before someone dies because of this. Thank you

My 2010 Nissan Rogue will not accelerate when going uphill on the highway. When flooring the gas pedal, the car will slow down from 70 to 60 to 50 to 40 mph on a uphill (there were only three passengers including driver). The car transmission will eventually stop working until the car cools down. Took car to a Nissan service center and was repaired under Nissan's cvt 10 years/120K miles warranty referencing tsb ntb14-002E. The valve body was removed/replaced and an external cooler was installed to resolve the issue.

While driving at highway speeds, vehicle suddenly decelerated to 50, then 35, then 20 mph. Fortunately, we were near the exit and were able to leave the hwy. After shutting off the vehicle and waiting a few minutes, the vehicle performed normally. This is the 3rd time in one year of ownership this has happened.

Cvt transmission overheated due to the following normal driving conditions 1. hot weather (92 F) 2. a long drive (over 3 hours) 3. driving up highway mountains in Virginia. Fail safe activated causing the car computer cpu to drastically cut power to the wheels. This caused a lack of power such that I could not accelerate up the hill in excess of 45 mph. The speed limit on the hill was 70 mph. Eighteen wheel trucks were immediately behind my Rogue forcing me to pull onto the road shoulder allowing them to go past. I brought the car to a local Nissan dealer who confirmed from examination of the car cpu that the transmission overheated and that an overheat code was found in the cpu. They also confirmed that the fail safe was activated that caused the severe power loss. The Nissan dealer knew exactly what the problem was from my description. Nissan is aware of the problem and even extended my transmission cvt warranty from 6yr/60,000 miles to 10yr/120,000 miles. However, their solution to this problem is to install an auxiliary cvt transmission fluid cooler at an expense to me of $1225. My dealer checked with Nissan and said they would not cover the expense even though the transmission in my car is still on warranty. Documentation of my exact experience can be found on youtube @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=gg_zf1eo0pw. There are several more videos on youtube under Rogue cvt power loss and documentation on many sites on the internet. In conclusion, Nissan is installing cvt transmissions in several of their model cars with a known overheating issue and requires their customers to install a transmission fluid cooler at the customers expense. The dramatic loss of power is a big safety issue. In my case I had to speed up to get up the hills as my speed dropped from 80mph down to 45mph finally pulling onto the shoulder.

This started happening right after the last recall Feb 2016. Was going at 65 mph little uphill (from 1200 feet to 2200 feet) then the speed started dropping from 65mph to less than 30mph on a busy California I-15 freeway. I had to pull the car from the far left lane (5 lanes each way) to the right shoulder where I stopped for about 35 minutes then started the car again. It happened at least 4 times since they messed up my car in the last recall. Other issue I experienced was when I stopped at a traffic light and tried to move, it barely moved then all of the sudden it jumped, it was very risky. I had to pull to a parking lot (this happened 3 times)

Well I was driving in the highway with speed limit of 80 mph, car suddenly went down to 40, almost hit by a big old truck, jeez glad to be alive, I loved Nissan N I had my first car as Nissan N switch to Toyota but now I wanna try Nissan as it was my fav, now I missed my Toyota, atleast Toyota csr are helpful in fnding the problems. Nissan dealers oh boy they don't know whats going on, I think they R just pretending. If anybody is buying Nissan, think twice if you wanna risk ur life. Hope noone gets hurt on highway with the same issues!!

9-5-15 was making a right turn car came to sudden stop in the middel of turn.ending up finding out the tranission blow cost me $4500 to put a new transission in. Once I got the transission put in I toke the vehicle back telling then when at a stop sign or lights the car would die out. Sometimes the car has no power when taking off. Car has been to 3 differant shops for the dieing out, it has no codes no one can find whats wrong with the car.

While driving on the highway, my 2010 Nissan rouge suddenly would drop the speed to under 55mph. I would push the pedal to the floor but it still would not accelerate. No warnings or engine light displayed on the panel. This was a very scary experience. What is someone didn't pay attention and rear-ended me because of my sudden speed reduction without a warning. I am scared to drive my car on a interstate. I paid a lot of money for it and now it has a very limited use. I only hope that Nissan will carefully look into this problem. Someone's life could be lost because of it. This is a very serious safety issue and I know that I'm not the first person to make this complaint.

Hi, I am experiencing a known "cvt overheating" problem with my Rogue. What's happening is that when the cvt gets more then some threshold temperature it goes to so called "safe" mode and the car looses speed dramatically, including situations on a high way. This is a safety issue! I brought me vehicle to the dealership 2 times and as a result they suggested to install a "cooler kit" by Nissan which potentially can solve the problem just by cooling the cvt is a "better" way. They are asking for about $1200 for the installation. I see that as a Nissan's design flow. I don't think paying for this out of my pocket is the right solution. I think Nissan should start a re-call on that problem. This is unacceptable situation on how Nissan handles it right now (in fact it doesn't handle it all). Thank you.

Several time the car has not accelerate properly from a stopped position. I would press the gas all the way to the floor and the car would not move until suddenly it seemed to "catch". just recently driving at a speed of about 75mph the car gradually slowed and would not accelerate. It dropped down to about 65 mph and then eventually gradually accelerated. When I got off the highway I came to a stop light. Again, the car would not accelerate. When I got home I put the car in park and tried to "rev" the engine and at first nothing would happen. I had my foot to the floor. The transmission in this Rogue has already been replaced twice! this transmission has about 50,000 miles on it.

- Brick, NJ, USA

Traveling on the highway 70-75 mph suddenly the car lost power and sped down to 45 -50 mph, I try to press the gas down to the floor and no results' pulled over for 10 minutes and then resumed to drive.I checked the ratings and notice many complaints about the same problem.very dangerous situation, I don't think Nissan wants anybody kill on the road because of negligence ! pay attention to the complaints and re-call the vehicle before a casualty happens please!

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.
