Rogue

  • 55,600 miles
While driving on the interstate, my Rogue started slowing down with no warning. I was doing 70 mph and on cruise control. The rpms went to 4000 and I took it off cruise and pressed the accelerator but it kept getting slower. I was lucky to work my way to the right and get off the interstate but had to stop at the bottom of the ramp. As I pressed the gas to go, I could not move and was almost rear ended. I had the accelerator to the floor but still it wouldn't go then finally took off roughly. I turned it off at the gas station then restarted it and tried the gas. It was a little hesitant but it evened out. This has happened twice. My Rogue has 56000 miles on it. I bought it with under 20000

Rogue

  • 61,000 miles
The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. While driving approximately 60 mph approaching an incline, the rpms increased between 3,000 and 4,000 as the vehicle decelerated. There was no warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to autonation Nissan pembroke pines (8890 pines blvd, pembroke pines, fl 33024, 954-949-0421) where it was diagnosed that the transmission valve failed and that an additional unknown cooling system part needed to be added to make the valve operational. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed the dealer's diagnosis. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 61,000.

Rogue

  • 77,000 miles
I've owned the car about a year. It has 77,000 miles on it. Recently the transmission has begunh to fail when encountering the slightest of inclined slopes on the highway. It will suddenly drop out of cruise control and lose about 10mph, dropping to around 60 mph. The last time this happened, I left the highway, stopped at a stop light and when the light changed, the car would not move until I changed to low gear. My allison transmission guy tells me he's replaced a lot of these transmissions and they have the poorest warranty of any transmission, only 1 year or 12,000 miles. He said I probably would not get another 77,000 miles even with a new transmission.

Rogue

  • 78,995 miles
This vehicle has what has been called a cvt transmission issue. It has been well documented by hundreds of drivers across the country (all with the same problem). While driving 80 miles per hour in the fast lane the vehicle lost all power and went to 10 miles per hour in a matter of seconds, my wife was driving and we both panicked as we were on a busy highway. She started to move to the slower lanes, but had semi trucks running close behind us as well as other vehicles, we put on the emergency flashers and slowly made it across to the emergency lane, but not before we were almost in a horrible accident. We had two semis that came within a matter of 1-2 feet of hitting us. We went from 80 mph to 5 mph in a matter of seconds and then finally lost all power completely. We waited with the car off for almost 30 minutes, we started the car again and got back on the freeway, we traveled another 50 miles and the car did the same thing again!! this time we stayed in the right lane! we have had several issues since, and have had near death incidents with this vehicle. Nissan knows of this issue, it is a cvt problem with their transmission, their dealer service departments know what to do. The diagnostic code is P0744 replace the valve body on transmission. They know the issue, but will not do a recall. It cost us $1,900. The car is a death trap. My wife and I do not feel safe driving this vehicle, but we can not afford a new one. Nissan will not help our car has 94,443 miles on it, and is out of their warranty. There are hundreds of these issues reported and Nissan turns their heads with this potential deadly issue. What will it take, a death to get some attention to this serious issue? Nissan needs to fix this problem. It is a repetitive issue as well. (this problem has happened numerous times)

Rogue

  • 54,000 miles
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.

Car has been losing power since 70,000 miles. Happens intermittently, car will suddenly lose acceleration although you are pressing on the gas. Multiple times at stoplights, stop signs, etc. You can push the gas pedal to the floor and the car will barely move. Several times upon pulling out into traffic car has decelerated. I am afraid to drive this car with my child and it.

Rogue

  • 66,000 miles
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.

Rogue 4-cyl

  • 59,000 miles
2013 Nissan Rogue transmission nearly caused an accident on my way home from work. As I was driving down main street my Rogue I immediately lost the majority of my acceleration and was forced into the bus lane to keep from the vehicles behind me from rear ending me. Upon researching this issue its clear the Nissan has a serious issue with their cvt transmission design and that many people have lost nearly all acceleration on the highways and in other dangerous environments. This is a design flaw by Nissan and needs a recall to protect the consumers driving with sincerely young transmissions that are faulty and dangerous when on public roads.

Rogue

  • 54,000 miles
After driving vehicle for over an hr in warm to hot weather or when towing the vehicle suddenly losses ability to accelerate and seems to enter limp mode. Based on research many others also have same complaint and either require transmission replace or a larger transmission cooler. As vehicle is just over a month out of warranty even after experiencing similar problem in Dec on trip(in warranty time period) Nissan will not cover repair. This is a safety issue as you can not move at highway speeds on freeway max speed is 5-60 downhill 40S uphill. Nissan extended warranty on 2007-2010 and need to do the same here.

Takata recall. While driving the vehicle after an hour the car lost power and won't go any faster and starts to shake as the gas pedal is depressed to the floor. No power up hill and this vehicle problem should be addressed immediately as it could leave the driver stranded on the side of the on a long trip.

Rogue

  • 67,000 miles
Vehicle has 87000 miles on it and for the last year (since 67000) it will randomly loose power, often on the highway causing a dangerous situation. We have been stranded twice 4+ hours from home on the weekend. This was an official recall from Nissan on prior year Rogues. Why is this dangerous and expensive fix not being covered now?

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. While driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle lost acceleration even when the accelerator pedal was depressed. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road and had it towed to his residence.

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.
