Rogue

  • 50,000 miles
Many times while driving on a highway, usually going uphill, I have troubles with the vehicle's acceleration. The car starts to make a funny sound, as if it's trying to accelerate, but is unable to. I've had to pull over because the car will slow down and will not go past like 40 miles per hour, even if I'm stepping on the gas. It's very dangerous because I'm typically not in the slow lane, so I start to impede traffic when this happens, and cars get really close to hitting me.

Rogue

  • 98,000 miles
I've had problems with acceleration of car twice on the highway. Car feels and sounds like it is stuck in one gear. I couldn't drive faster than 75 mph. Car started to slow down even with my foot on the gas pedal. Speed dropped from 75 to 65, from 65 to 60, from 60 to 55, from 55 to 49, from 49 to 45, from 45 to 30, from 30 to 10 mph. All of this happened within 2 miles of the nearest exit. I tried using cruise control to maintain speed at 65 mph, but it didn't work. Car towed by aaa on 9/10/17.

2012 Nissan Rogue lost acceleration while on a trip. Rogue would not go more then 30-40 mph in a 80 mph speed zone on highway. Almost got hit a couple times trying to keep up with traffic and having to pull over to give the car a break. It was very dangerous with being 7 months pregnant, driving in a no service area. Couldn't call for help. It was hot out to have to stop with my self and three dogs in the car.

Attempted to accelerate, RPM stuck at 2400, vehicle wouldn't accelerate past 70 after taking 10 seconds to rise to that from 65mph. Didn't go past 2700rpm. Got off highway, stopped at a stop light. Light turned green, car rose very slowly to 2000 RPM, accelerated very slowly to 30mph. This continued for 5 minutes, pulled over and parked for 1 hour. Started driving again, 30 minutes later car stuck at 2400 RPM, couldn't accelerate past previous travelling speed.

Rogue

  • 75,100 miles
In the last 30 days I have made the exact same 5 hour round trip drive three times. On two of these trips, I experienced sudden loss of acceleration after approximately 3-1/2 hours of driving (both instances started within 5 miles of the other). Though both occurred without any sign of a mechanical problem and continued until car had been stopped and shut off for 30 minutes or more, today's event nearly caused loss of life! when trying to merge onto I-95 from I-295 in jacksonville, Florida during rush hour traffic I suddenly could not only accelerate to get on 95 and move over 2 lanes to clear the exit only airport lane but continued to slow down in massive high speed traffic! during this time the gas pedal was fully depressed without result other than RPM change to almost 3. no codes were detected either time. This car was purchased new, has been well taken care of and regularly serviced. It has 75,214 miles on it. The only difference in the 3 trips I made was stopping for about 45 minutes to eat before driving back on trip #2 and had no problems at all with acceleration.

Transmission will stall and/or lose acceleration while driving on the freeway. Will not increase speed, regardless of if the pedal is to the floor or not. If you come to a complete stop, the vehicle does not move over 5 mph until you stop, turn the vehicle off, sometimes for up to 30 min, and resume driving. This is the 4th time this has happened within 30 days, always while going over 60 mph, and freeway driving for 10 min +.

Rogue 4-cyl

  • 70,000 miles
After about an hour of highway driving, the car will stop accelerating. The car was taken to the Nissan dealership today, 10/18/19, where the mechanic told us that the "transmission was overheating". they could not tell us what was causing it want install an additional piece of equipment that will provide a temporary fix. This is an extremely dangerous and scary situation; there needs to be a recall.

Rogue

When driving this vehicle long distances it will lose power without notice. When driving acceleration will go down to 0 mph. If you put the gas pedal on the floor it will still not accelerate. This car can not be driven long distances, as it has placed my family in danger numerous times. I have had to pull over on the side of the road and allow the car to sit. Many times this has occurred on busy highways. There is no fix when this happens. I have had 18 wheelers behind me when this car has suddenly stopped. Nissan will not acknowledge this issue. When inquiring about the issue Nissan is only seeking a diagnostic fee. Through research I have uncovered that this is a huge issues impacting tons of customers. I will never purchase another Nissan.

Rogue

  • 1,000,000 miles
Summary: While driving my 2012 Nissan Rogue my car began to slow down even while I was stepping on the acceleration. Rpms would soar up any time I stepped on the pedal so I pulled over to the side of the road, let the car cool for a few minutes then tried to start it up again and as I stepped on the pedal the car barely accelerated (just inched along), leaving me to call and have it towed back. The car was brought to the used car dealership, the next day I received a call that my transmission needs to be replaced. The car is only 3.5 years old (well taken care of) and even though it has 67,000 miles on it, a car as new as this one shouldn't be having transmission problems. I contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs and after going back and forth with them a few times they decided they are not going to help me because the car is out of warranty, mind you back in 2003-2010 they put out an extended warranty program on all Nissan Rogues due to transmission problems, so they acknowledged the issue then I don't understand why they aren't acknowledging the issue now. I am still paying the car off and now I have paid $3,400 to have the trans fixed, that transmission lasted 12,500 miles before a 3rd transmission I was told needed to be replaced. After researching this I have found that the cvt transmissions in Nissan cars is not an uncommon problem, actually a very common issue. Well the 3rd transmission only lasted 4,990 miles. I'm told I need another transmission. #4 this is ridiculous. I have had the same issued with the car since it had 54,000 miles on it.

Rogue 4-cyl

  • 18,416 miles
Was driving North on interstate 75, atlanta, ga, when the front left tire certainly blew causing me to loose control of car and rear-ending the car in front of me. My car was a total loss as well as the auto I hit. Purchased this auto on June 25, 2013 with 8,283 miles. Noticed in July that the tire pressure warning light would come on and stay on for a day or two; so I had the car looked at on 2 occasions and was told that it something pertaining to the senor but it was ok because the light would go out on it own. The night of the accident the light was on and all of a certain I heard a load pop sound which was the tire blowing out and I loss control of the car causing the accident. When the market valuation report was ran on February 27, 2014 I learned that this vehicle had a recall issued by NHTSA id: 12V068000. I believe that was why the tire pressure warning light continued to come on for a few days then it would go off but the tires always had the same amount of air in each tire each time it was checked.

My Nissan Rogue 2012 began to make some noise and can't accelerate. I call Nissan dealer and tow the car to them. They said that the problem is the fuel injectors. The car still at dealer for repair. This can cause an accident, due to the fact that the car stopped suddenly.
