Contacted Nissan and since it is now past the warranty they can't help me. While I was in the dealership getting a CVC boot replaced I mentioned the problem to the guy helping me and he said he had heard the problem before and he said the fluid overheats and the transmission stops working. I asked if there was a fix and he said a Transmission cooler installed for $1124.00. I told him I thought that was ridiculous to have to pay for an inherent problem in Nissan's vehicle. That's when I contacted Nissan and told them this was a safety issue and the couldn't (wouldn't) help.

I have had my car in the shop to get a cooler installed for the cvt transmission. This cooler did not come standard with the car, but it wasn't able to keep speed on the interstate without it. It would loose speed on the interstate after driving about an hour because the transmission would overheat and go into safety mode. This rogue has 80,000 miles on it which is right over the mfg warranty period Nissan has on the transmission. Either they planned that right, or this vehicle was never fullly functional from the start. I've seen recalls on earlier models for this same issue yet nothing has been resolved in the 2011 Nissan Rogue that I purchased. There is no recall on this year and model so i was to be held responsible for the repair. Luckily i purchased an extended warranty that covered all but 270 bucks. I called nissan and they agreed to pay for only %40 percent of the repair. When it came time to pay, Nissan didnt cover anything. I waited in the dealer for an hour for them to try to figuare it out but everyone was incompetent so I just paid the bill. They said they would have someone call me back from the dealer and from Nissan and no one ever called. I tried calling the supervisor at Nissan Corp and he wouldnt return my phone calls. Very unprofessional on all levels. They just couldnt wait to get rid of me. DO NOT BUY NISSAN

Car was sluggish on acceleration from stop. Lost acceleration on highway and although the engine revved up, the car slowed down. This was dangerous and terrifying as we were driving through Pittsburgh with road construction and no shoulder to pull over on.

The solution was to replace a faulty brake sensor which was giving a false positive. If the car thinks that the brake is being applied, it will override the fact that you are physically pushing the gas pedal. The took it to the dealer and left the car running so they could experience it themselves. (Turning the car off and then back on would sometimes reset the sensor so the car would work fine then). The dealership replaced the sensor in about an hour. The part cost $50 and the testing/labor cost $100.

We haven't had the problem again after this repair.

I was on my way on a trip from the Atlanta area to Orlando, Florida. About 1.5 hours into the trip, the car would not accelerate beyond 55-60 miles per hour. I had this problem several times before, but each time I took it to Nissan, they could not find anything or tell me the root cause of the problem. I finally pulled over in Macon, GA to a Nissan dealership where they identified the problem as the transmission. I had to leave my car there and rent a car as they would not give me a loaner to go out of town. However, they offered me a loaner on the way back.

I left my car at Nissan on June 23rd and as I write this complaint (July 10th) I am still waiting for my car to be repaired. They gave me a "basic" loaner, but it is frustrating to have to go without my car for this long.

In doing research, it appears that Nissan has had several problems with transmissions and as a result, had to extend the warranty on many models to 110,000 miles. They have not done this for my model year, so I am stuck with a $4000 bill as I am out of warranty.

noticed car not accelerating at stops, very doggish on city streets and at high speeds it wouldn,t accelererate at all ! .took it to the shop and problem seemed to go away after an oil change and my mechanic saying he couldn't find the problem.Then, on a long road trip at about 70 mph when, on a long gradual hill, the engine whined loudly and the rpm's start going up and down. the car speed quickly went down to 55 mph on a busy freeway, almost rear ended! also, noticed fuel efficiency was down a couple mph on the first 200 miles of our trip.The check engine light came on, i got it scanned...code 0744, transmission cvt issues. my mechanic said it's a 4,000$ fix...told me to go to Nissan dealer and demand a fix. He said Nissan should fix it for free and he didn't want to take my money for a repair that should have been a recall...nice, honest dude! Took it to the local dealer and he was so rude...he was so happy to inform me that the warranty, as you know, only covers 2008-2010 models, what!!! I am so pissed, never will buy another nissan. I am in the process of trying to get Nissan to at least pay for most of the repair. will keep you informed on their response.

My wife purchased her Nissan Rogue new from a Nissan dealer in 2011. Everything has been maintained up to date. 1s time we noticed the issue was on a 3 hour drive to Tahoe when we found that the car would begin to slow down on its own with the gas all the way to the floor. We pulled over, let it cool, checked and found all fluids to be full. Got back on the road and seemed normal again.

My wife just drove on another 3 hour trip across flat land and literally the car started to decelerate and there was nothing she could do. She pulled over, found all fluids to be level or full, got back on the road and seemed fine until the engine light came on.

We took it to the dealer where she purchased it from, were charged around $160 for diagnosis, turns out that it is the so called known issue that the tranny fluid overheats and the work around is a mod where they pull the bumper and install a fan to cool the tranny. on top of that, since it had over heated, there is additional parts that need to be replaced in the transmission. We are looking at over $2,0000 for the repair and the modification.

None of it is covered under warranty, the dealer stated that it is a known issue and they submitted "notifications" to owners of these vehicles. Well we never got one and if we had, we would have sold the car.

Whats the point of buying a vehicle that you will have to add mods to down the line, a vehicle that cant even last 80,000 miles before it needs serious work done. We will never purchase another Nissan, if they can not care for their consumers, they will have no loyal customers.

Although I entered the date that I took the car to the dealer for evaluation, the issue started much sooner. I believed it was due to some other reason, like bad oil change or air filter not replaced. Whenever I drove more then 200 miles the car would quit accelerating on the highway. The idiot indicator never showed that the vehicle was overheating though.

I would pull over and after around 15 minutes cool down time it would drive okay the rest of the way around 100 miles. It was such an odd problem I figured if I took it in the service people would give me the "Aw shucks Ma'am we can't recreate the problem. It runs fine." The problem happened repeatedly and seemed to be getting worse.

I finally called the Nissan service manager and this is what I found out. This is a known problem with many of the model year's of the Rogue and Altima. The undersized transmission overheats and goes into fail safe mode, where the vehicle will only go about 5-10 miles an hour. The fix is to put an external fan on the CVT Transmission box, so they told me. They will only do that for autos under warranty or recently out of warranty.

I had 30,000 miles in the first year, so that left me out. Apparently NISSAN corporate doesn't expect you to actually DRIVE the vehicle you purchase and penalize you if you do. There are no recalls on this. NISSAN doesn't like to do recalls, and doesn't stand behind their products, according to my mechanic at a local garage. The Service Manager at Nissan dealership was very forthcoming and basically confirmed that. He said the issue doesn't show up as much in the north part of the US because it is cold, but in the hotter states it is prevalent. He said he expected to see loads of vehicles in the shop due to this problem in the summer months.

The bottom line is that this is a well known design flaw. Look on the internet and you will see lots of complaints on this. Nissan should have already done a recall. I am surprised to see even the older models with all the myriad problems I have read about still are ranked very high by consumer reports in reliability and safety. Boo!

My 2011 Nissan Rogue was new when I purchased it. On July 15, 2015, while driving at 50 mph, the car suddenly started vibrating violently with a loud noise and stopped suddenly in the middle of traffic WITHOUT WARNING! I had 3 kids in the car and we could've been seriously hurt! I could shift it into gear but it wouldn't accelerate or move.

A diagnostic discovered it's the transmission as suspected. I have 118K HIGHWAY miles on it and have been getting regular and scheduled oil changes and maintenance. My other non-Nissan cars have gone much longer without any problem. Years ago I had another car with transmission problems but it did not stop suddenly or endanger lives like the Nissan Rogue.

Nissan is aware of the problem since I made a claim to NissanSupport. They would not acknowledge or take responsibility for the poor transmission problem and stayed that it was beyond the warranty.

What does it take for Nissan to take responsibility? The death of a wife, husband, mother, father, sister, brother...a child?

I was driving at about 80 mph on toll road and it lost power . The speed went down to about 50 to 60 miles per hour for about 25 miles and I stopped to go in a store . When I came out and started driving again it was fine, this is starting to occur every couple weeks now I took it in to a dealer and they said it needed a transmission cooler which is almost $1100 for part and labor. With less than 80,000 miles it shouldn't need a cooler unless there are problems with these CVT transmissions. By the other posts on this site and other web sites I ain't the only one with this problem. This seems to be very common with these transmissions .
