I'm reporting the same as many others so that I have documentation. Last week while my daughter was driving back to college (about 170 miles), about halfway the vehicle began to slow down. As she pressed the accelerator, the engine would rev but the car would not accelerate. This was extremely scary as she was travelling on the expressway and there was a semi-truck directly behind her when this happened. A major accident could have happened. She ultimately made it to school taking about an hour longer than normal. She should have pulled over, but it was getting dark, and she was travelling alone. After she called and explained to me what happened, I researched the issue and found that this seems too very common relating to the trans fluid over-heating. The fix requires a cooler to added to the system to cool the fluid. Having personally worked on many cars including changing transmissions, this is not a quick cheap repair. Again, I'm thankful she wasn't rear ended. Nissan needs to address this known issue and compensate those impacted by this. I pray no one gets seriously injured.

The car will not go when she come to stop at shakes and jerks, so hard you cannot accelerate once you come from a stop if you do the car dies the car dies when trying to merge onto the highway due to the acceleration especially on hot days almost died a few times on the way home from work hitting St. Louis traffic. The car is a piece of junk. Good luck surviving trying to drive it.

While driving, the rpm-??s go up but the speed decreases. The transmission is not performing correctly.

Transmission got hot and started slipping transmission does not have a sufficient cooler transmission needs replaced

The CVT transmission would over heat numerous times in uphill drive after 30 miles driving. The overheating would result in sudden slowing of vehicle and loss of acceleration even when acceleration pedal is fully pressed. It puts vehicle to danger because it can be in front of fast moving vehicle. It also makes exiting a freeway and stopping merging into traffic dangerous because vehicle stops responding to driver commands.

My son was driving our 2011 Nissan Rogue that only has 58K miles on it. At first you could just feel a difference in the accelerator pedal and the transmission shifted gears. The car was shaking bad at 45 miles per hour when the car was warm. The gears started making noise during certain shifts in the transmission and sounded like driving over a rumble strip in the road, then would vibrate the same at about 55 miles per hour. The noise changed so when the car switches gears the noises would change in pitch. When it drives the noise is loud and you can feel it rock when the transmission is switching gears. You have to grip the steering wheel. If you consistently drive the noise and shaking would get worse and would make squeaking sound. When breaking the car rocks and hesitates as it downshifts. We first took the car to pep boys and they changed the front axle. They did a thorough check under the vehicle and everything look like normal wear and tear. There were no leaks. The car moved somewhat smoother drive wise, but there consistent mechanical problems were still the same. We took the car back to pep boys for the same issues and we replaced all the tires, brakes, checked wheel bearings, they did another thorough check and the transmission fluid was fine and there were no leaks. They did finally do a good test drive to and recommended a full replacement of the transmission. We then took the car to Nissan for another opinion and they said it was the transmission and that we had problems with the axles, even though we just had the axles replaced. Nissan ran full diagnostics and there are no codes or an engine light and the computer was good. We definitely don-??t think these are normal problems. 1. The car only has 60K miles and has regular upkeep and maintenance. 2. It is definitely a safety hazard with the shaking and rocking and feeling like it won-??t break in time. At this point it even does it at low speeds. It is not safe!

Just bought my 2011 Nissan Rogue today and drove around off and on all day with no issues. I went to my son's house for approximately 5 minutes (left car running) and when I went to leave I had no acceleration. I tried pushing on the gas pedal with no luck. It literally coasted about a block before it finally stopped moving. I made a few phone calls and was told to shut the car off for about 5 minutes (which I did) and then turn it back on (which I did) and I put it in drive and it was all of a sudden fine. I feel as if there has been more than enough complaints regarding this issue with the 2011 Nissan Rogue and nhtsa should address this matter with Nissan who should be held accountable for this. I personally bought the vehicle based on all the good things I was told about it but now, not even 24 hours after buying it, I am regretting my decision. I should have stuck with my kia soul (she never let me down)!! I feel this is a HUGE safety issue

The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact noticed that the vehicle was jerking prior to the failure. The driver depressed the brake pedal but was concerned about the vehicle moving. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified however, no further assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 82,000. The VIN was not available.

The CVT transmission shuts off for no reason. The engine revs up like crazy but the power convertor does not do its job of transmitting power to the driveshaft. Turns out that the CVT transmission went into shutdown mode for no reason - I was driving downhill, in an empty car, with no load at 65 mph.

I own a 2011 Nissan Rouge, it has 110k miles in it. We-??ve taken care of it since we purchased it in 2015, prompt maintenance (with all receipts) new tires etc. As soon as the car hit 100k miles it started acting -??funny-??. It would jerk when we drove it, when we reversed it would make a weird noise as well. Took it to auto body shop every time and they couldn-??t find anything wrong with it, no error lights on the dashboard either. It only got worse from there, when the second I would stop at a red light the car would turn off, all the dashboard lights on so I would have to turn the key as if I was turning it off and put it on park then turn it back on and turn it on Drive to go. There were a few times that cars came close to hitting me because I was idled at a green light. Then last week on Saturday July 10th, I was coming back home, stopped at a red light, as the light turns green I pushed on the gas pedal, the car wouldn-??t move one bit but engine was on. I pulled over to see what was going on, the car wouldn-??t drive anymore. Called a tow truck and had it towed to my House as the auto shops were not taking any more appts. On Monday I had it towed and the shop tells me it-??s the transmission and quoted me over $4,000. I called Nissan North America after researching that this is a known issue for Rouges and Nissan has been notified by multiple consumers. I was hopeful that they would help me out but waited for the Supervisor to call me back and called me end of day and with non apologetic tells me Nissan can-??t do anything about it, that I can take it to a dealership and pay out of pocket because warranty is expired. I explained they have a lot of cases opened because they-??re selling cars with bad transmissions and he just asks -??is there anything else I can do for sure-?? totally brushing me off. Buyer beware! Do not buy Rouges. My coworker had a 2012 Nissan Rouge and same issue as soon as it hit 100k miles. My neighbor has a new Rouge and has had issues with transmission

- Chino, CA, USA

The CVT transmission shuts off unexpectedly and for no reason. I was driving downhill, at 65 mph, in an empty car, with no load and the transmission just went into shutdown. This happened multiple times (more than 5). I do not trust Nissan to fix it.

The CVT transmission would over heat numerous times on long trips. This would slow me down in traffic or going up hills. Also, when exiting a freeway and stopping merging into traffic was dangerous on numerous occasions due to now coming from the transmission. The Nissan CVT has been recalled, been subject to numerous lawsuits. In fact Nissan has extended the warranty on the Rogue transmission up to the year 2010 and from 2012 but has continuously ignored the 2011 Rogue. I just recently had to have the transmission rebuilt on my 2011 Rogue. If I had known about this earlier I could have taken preventative measures.

I am having the same issue that most people are complaining about. Vehicle will not accelerate after being driven for 45 minutes or longer. Happened to me four times while driving for 2 hours. Once on the highway and three other times on a city road with vehicles stuck behind me. One of those times I had no where to pull off and sat on the road. This should be a major concern for Nissan and the NHTSA. Sooner or later someone is going to get seriously injured or worse. Instead, we are pouring our money into a vehicle with no way to fix it. I have about 100,000 miles and kept a good job of maintenance on the vehicle. Please address this situation!

Another in the long list of people who are experiencing vehicle disabling features due to Nissan's engineering failures. It's wild that there isn't more protection from huge corporate bullies like Nissan. Garbage product with no trust behind the name. My hope is that people read these and start telling Nissan with your wallets. Don't buy. Just like the others when car is in use for more than 45 minutes, heat causes the governor to disable speed to the point where my family has almost been rear ended on several occasions. This isn't a one time occurrence, it happens weekly. Nissan claims there is nothing wrong and/or no fix. Car is worth nothing and is barely worth driving. Way to stick it to the little guy Nissan.

The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while at an undisclosed speed, she heard an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle. The contact pulled over to inspect the vehicle. The contact drove to her destination with the sound still present. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who referred the contact to a transmission specialist. The vehicle was diagnosed and the contact was informed that metal shavings were found in the transmission. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 99,000.

While driving this vehicle on highway and secondary roads I noticed a loss of power and slippage of the transmission. I took to a local shop several times but wasn't able to diagnose. I finally took to a Nissan dealer ( mcguire Nissan of syracuse ) and they diagnosed as a bad transmission. They give me an estimate to install new transmission and oil cooler for transmission for $5,300 plus tax. I then did some research on the Nissan and found out that Nissan had alot of issues with their transmissions, so many that they extended the warranty from 5 year - 60,000 miles to 10 year - 120,000 miles on most of their vehicles. I contacted Nissan directly and they said this doesn't pertain to my 2011 as it only covered the 2003 thru 2010. My vehicle only has 74,000 miles. During my research I read that a lot of these transmissions were only good for 80,000 miles and that is why they extended the warranty. Ultimately I was compelled to get this fixed from mcguire of syracuse and with tax cost me $5,791.54. I believe that my car should have been included in this recall as the issues are the same as the other years that had issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

On 7/31/2020, traveling from ft. Lauderdale to sarasota, Florida, on I-95, (alligator alley) around 1 hr in after turning on cruise control, (90+ outside temps), cruising at around 82 mph... car suddenly decelerated to -60 mph and, pedal to the metal, would not accelerate, continued to slow down. I pulled into a rest stop, turned it off for 20 minutes, then restarted it and used my fixd device and app. It brought up code P0744, "torque converter clutch circuit intermittent". it ran ok for the rest of the trip and the return trip but acceleration was sluggish. On 9/3/2020, same trip, same road, same 90+ temps outside, on I-95, (alligator alley), a little over 1 hour in, no cruise control this time, car did the same exact thing: Decelerated from 82 to -60 mph. I pulled into a rest stop, turned it off for a half hour, re-started it, ran the fixd app again, but this time it said "no errors", and threw no codes. Both times car was ok after being off awhile. No problems on return trip...but in general, acceleration is sluggish. I stopped by the dealer and the service representative said they could put the computer on it for $139 but probably couldn't diagnose it unless it was happening or some codes were stored, which was doubtful I said no thanks. This is a very dangerous problem! there are over 200 complaints about this issue/problem for this year alone, but it appears that all Rogues seem to have complaints about this exact issue of deceleration and the manufacturer acts as if it doesn't exist. Some have had to replace the transmission, some have added transmission coolers with no improvement. I've owned dozens of vehicles and have never encountered this problem before. In mid pandemic with only my ss check as income I don't know what to do. I need to drive up to NY and MA and need a safe, reliable car!

Lost excceleration would not go above 60 mph, the rpms were going over 3 I had to pull over on the highway. There was no warning light or anything it just happened, it eventually started back up but soon lost power again, I was barely able to turn onto the street going to the auto shop where I purchased the vehicle. I owned this vehicle less than a year only 4 months when this happened. This was a very alarming situation I almost got ran over thankfully I was able to pull over. They checked it out and couldn't find anything then finally said it was the transmission then also mentioned that I had a problem with the axle which was leaking and costed me more money, which I don't think I should have had to pay since I only had it for 4 months. This vehicle is unsafe and I don't feel safe driving it anymore since I got it back. I have done research and see that this vehicle has been recalled I had no idea to even look for a recall on this vehicle. I have a friend who has a 2016 that has the same problem recently happen to her on the road.
