Rogue 4-cyl

  • 84,000 miles
Car just hit 85,000 miles. My Nissan 2013 rouge is dangerous and an extreme safety hazard. When at a turning at stoplight in hot weather (all the time in ca) the cvt transmission slows the car to almost a complete stop. You just turn off and on the car to restart. I've almost been T-boned 2X, completely hazard. Also, on the highway after driving an hour it failed to go over 40mph in a 65 zone. Also an extreme hazard, this cvt transmission must be recalled and replaced at no cost to consumers immediately. Part is faulty due to negligence of Nissan.

Rogue 4-cyl

  • 90,000 miles
Complete loss of power when driving down the express way. Intermittent issue though happens mainly on the expressway or just leaving the off ramp. I see many other people are having the same issue with their Nissan Rogues from 2008-2014. It is very dangerous my wife was almost rearended on the expressway because she cant accelerate. It happens randomly and is getting worse and more often as time goes on. Mechanics have no clue how to fix the issue besides replacing the entire transmission. She had to drive all the way home going 25mph down the expressway yesterday from ohare where she works as a flight attendant home here in lake villa, il. This needs to be resolved!! she us now afraid to drive her own car.

Rogue 4-cyl

  • 65 miles
After cruising the car at highway speeds (70mph) for around an hour the car begins to slow down on it own and even flooring the gas pedal won't increase the speed, it will just rev at high RPM and start slowing down. The can barely speed up to 30mph after that after continuing to flooring the gas pedal and revving the car at its highest RPM. There are no engine lights. The car has to be turned off for 10-15mins but sometimes even that does not help. When taken to dealership they offer to put a new transmission which cost around $4000. This is a major issue for all Rogue cars.

Rogue

  • 130,000 miles
I was driving on the highway at the speed limit of 70 mph. I had the cruise control set and was coming up to a small hill. The car began to accelerate as normal to get up the hill. As soon as I began to descend the hill, the car was still trying to accelerate and the rpms started to get up to the 6000S. I immediately turn of cruise control and let the rpms go back down before trying to accelerate to stay going to speed limit. The car would not accelerate and the rpms would go up quickly with barely any touch to the gas pedal, so I pulled over on the side of the highway. The car gave me no warning what so ever and left me in a dangerous situation. While trying to pull off the highway at a safe speed with 18-wheeler trucks having to slow down and go around me causing other cars to slam on their breaks to avoid rear-ending the trucks.

Rogue

Car will stop accelerating when driving on the freeway for over an hour. This has happened about 10 times now. It only had about 50,000 miles on it the first time it happened. Several independent body shops could not detect the problem. In viewing other complaints, sounds like it's the transmission. Nissan needs to recall 2013 Nissan Rogues for this problem!

Rogue

  • 40,000 miles
Car would tack at 5K-6K RPM and not downshift, would lose power as driving uphill in heat. Wouldn't shift out of gear, making loud buzzing sound. Shutter or lose power after driving for a period of time. This happens on the freeway and while driving on city streets. Vehicle had 40K miles when first started to have the issue. Recently brought to Nissan dealership who stated it was a transmission failure where the transmission doesn't cool. Due to being out of the warranty timeline (5 years) but within the mileage (52000 miles), they were able to get Nissan to cover a cooler kit. However, the transmission is not working properly. Paint chipping from hood and side of car without any reason or any prior damage.

Rogue 4-cyl

  • 91,000 miles
The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. While the contact was merging into highway traffic, the rpms suddenly revved; however, the vehicle grinded almost to a halt. As a result, the contact's vehicle was almost rear ended by other vehicles. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road. The engine continued to run; however, whenever the accelerator pedal was depressed, the rpms would rev again and the vehicle would move slowly. The contact was able to slowly drive the vehicle home and had it towed to balise Nissan of West springfield (500 riverdale St, West springfield, MA 01089, (413) 746-2266). The dealer provided a repair estimate of $3,400 and stated that the failure seemed to be caused by the continuously variable transmission. The vehicle was in the process of being diagnosed. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 91,000. Consumer stated transmission was replaced and paid $3,526.45.

Bought the vehicle in late August 2019 and in mid September started having issues with transmission. Took to a dealer and was told they had transmission issues but vehicle was out of warranty. On 11/3/2019 vehicle was involved in an accident, nobody was hurt and waiting for police report, but I think Nissan should be held accountable and fixed before someone gets killed

Rogue

  • 139,000 miles
I've been have shaking and delays with the cvt transmission. It has altogether failed now and I've only owned the vehicle since the end 2017. It didn't last two years. There is no way I will replace the transmission only to have the same problems again. Shame on Nissan for not valuing their customers enough to fix the cvt problems. If you've settled in court, there should definitely be a recall on all cvt transmissions. I wish I knew about the cvt issues, I would have steered clear of Nissan vehicles. I was driving down the street when it went out. Couldn't accelerate at a stop light.

  • 82,000 miles
My daughter was stopped at a red light and when she tried to accelerate the car wouldn't move. She was able to get to the side of the road and after a few mins & a trip to advance auto parts & then a mechanic she was told to bring it home. Then the check engine light came on. She pulled into another advanced auto parts and they reset it. She lost power while driving over 50 mph on back roads and the interstate several more times. This car is not safe to drive. We were told she needs a new transmission and it only has 82K miles. She's a high school student and doesn't have $3,700 so the car just sits while she still makes payments.
