Cvt transmission. One owner comepletes all regular maintenance. While driving on the interstate the car makes a whining noise, loses power and will not accelerate. This caused semis to grid lock I moved off road to avoid getting hit and causing a multi car pile up. I look up and see complaints of the same nature by the 100's and sadly Nissan isn't willing to address the issue with the cvt on later models but extended the warranty on previous models with the same transmission.

The Nissan Rogue 2013 has approximately 70,000 miles on it, and after extensive research have found my vehicle is not the only one that has a faulty cvt installed. Nissan is fully aware of the hazard they have been selling since 2008. Their vehicles enter "safe mode" after driving longer than an hour due to transmission fluid overheating, as a result of not having a cooler/fan. This safe mode causes your vehicle to lose power immediately and is very dangerous when driving on interstate or even highly trafficked areas. I have contacted Nissan customer service and they refuse to claim responsibility. This mechanical issue cannot be found by Nissan car repairsmen because it is factory installed that way. Please get recall. I have a 4 month old baby who's life is at stake

When I was driving all of the sudden the vehicle started to slow down and would not accelerate. I had the gas pedal pushed all the way to the floor and it would not go past 40 mph this has happened several times. I was on interstate 10 returning home from houston tx on August 17, 2017. I had no problems on the way to houston. I had been doing the speed limit which was between 65 and 75 without the cruise control on. I have been reading up on this and I have found out it is a reoccurring problem with Nissan's rouges and has been for years and that it is known about when you go to the dealerships about the problem.

There is am acceleration issue with this car. When traveling 70 mph on the highway the rpms will go up to 4000 pr higher and lose acceleration. I went from 70 mph to less than 30 mph within seconds on a hill. Once I got to the top of the hill to where I could safely pull over to the side of the highway I turned the car off. I had to leave it off for at least 10 mins before I got the acceleration power back. If I tired before that it wouldnt accelerate even with the pedal to the floor. I have read a lot of complaints on this and nothing is being done. I was told it is the cvt transmission. I have only had this car for less than 2 years and it only has 76000ish miles on it. This issue has happened to me not once, twice, three times but five times now on the highway since reaching 60000+ miles on the car!! this is absolutely ridiculous and a major safety concern that needs to be recalled and addressed. I have 3 kids and if I get into a crash because of this I will be suing Nissan for this faulty issue!!!!

The 2013 Nissan Rogue was built without having a coolant valve on the transmission. I can be driving down the road and all of a sudden the RPM on my car with begin going very high and the speedometer will never move all the while I am pressing the gas down to the floor. The car is going almost only 20 or 30 miles per hour at this point. I am not going up a hill or going very fast I usually only travel about 60 or 65 mph. It makes a whining sound and will not accelerate. I did take this issue up with my local Nissan dealership and they said what is happening is since there is no valve to keep the transmission cool then it overheats and loosing acceleration is a kind of way of "self-diagnosing" and attempting to cool down-due to there not being a valve on the car during manufacturing. I do indeed have an extended warranty for 100,000 miles up to 5 years, but they said they can not pay for the part because it was not on the car when it was made. They said they will not pay for parts to be put on the car. On November 25, 2015 Nissan put out a service bulletin on how to put the part on and are well aware that Rogues from 2008-2013 do not have this valve. I feel very unsafe that my car could lose acceleration at any point-and it has on the interstate, highway, and many other places. Nissan states that the Rogue had everything on it it was supposed to, but they can't tell me how they can put a bulletin out on how to fix this issue and they know this issue needs to be fixed, but then won't pay for the issue. I really feel there needs to be some type of recall on a car that does not have the proper valve on it to keep it from overheating. That sounds like a real safety issue to me, a single mother who works and travels with 2 small children.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan rouge. The contact stated while stopped, the vehicle accelerated independently without warning. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle stalled while driving. The contact called an independent mechanic regarding the failure. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but did not offer any further any assistance. The vehicle failure mileage was 100,000.

I have a 2013 Nissan Rogue that the transmission just died on me. The car has 103 K miles and died on me in the middle lane of a 3 lane highway. I was doing 70 mph and the car speed dropped to less than 5 mph. I had my foot on the pedal for a good minute but the car won't go over 5 mph. I finally managed to safely get out of the highway and the car just died on the side of road. Towed the car to the Nissan dealer and was told the cvt transmission needs repaired. They know that older models were covered under a Nissan extended warranty for the cvt transmission, but my 2013 Rogue was not covered and there was nothing they can do. This car is dangerous to drive. The speed on this car should not just drop from 70 mph to 5 mph in a matter of seconds, it is dangerous. Nissan is aware of this problem but won't admit it. Can someone please look into this. There's a lot of people out there driving this cars and not know how dangerous they are. Nissan needs to fix this issue before someone loses their life over this.

- Lake In The Hills, IL, USA

Loss of acceleration on interstate and inner city driving. Complete loss of speed control, pressing the pedal to the floor has no effect. Extremely dangerous when this occurs. Has been happening since 40,000 miles. I fear for the lives of my passengers, especially children and will no longer use this vehicle with them inside.

While driving on 101 North passing through santa rosa, ca on May 29, 2017 going the highway speed limit of 65mph, my 2013 Nissan Rogue was struggling to get up a small incline when the mph suddenly dropped to 30 and I could not get the car to go any faster. The road was packed with cars as it was memorial day weekend. I had 3 children in my car. We barely made it over to the shoulder when the car completely went dead. It was absolute sheer luck that there was no accident. Cars were swerving all around me to avoid hitting me. I was in the far left lane and had to cross over 2 other lanes (going 30 mph on the highway) to get to the shoulder. My car is only 3 years old and has 85,000 miles on it. My dealer said "this type of problem is common" with this model. I googled "2013 Rogue cvt transmission problems" and found hundreds of similar complaints: This happens on the highway, at highway speeds. This does not seem to happen on surface roads. This is very, very dangerous. The company was besieged with cvt complaints and fixed their 2010 and 2011 models, but this problem is still happening with all subsequent Rogue models. People need to know about this.

Car loses acceleration on warm days and driving on the highway for 30 minutes plus. Pressing on the gas pedal to accelerate only causes RPM's to increase but the mph of the vehicle does not. After pulling the vehicle over and given a chance to cool down, normal operations resume until the fluids in the cvt drive heater up again. This has happened several times and is very dangerous. If you are in a bad position on the highway and need to accelerate for some reason anc cannot, this can be a very dangerous situation.

I was merging onto the highway going ~50 mph. Went to accelerate and the accelerater did not seem to have the same tension. Then all lights came on the dash (check engine, oil, battery etc) then there was no acceleration. Pulled to the shoulder, turned the car off, back on and everything seemed fine. Cruise control was on, but not active as I was merging, and sport mode was on. Since the incident when on cruise control I will feel the transmission 'slip' from time to time as well. However I could not recreate the issue of the car stalling.I called the dealer and they said if I could not recreate the problem, there was nothing they could do either. It looks like people are having similar problems and hopefully this can get resolved.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration while being driven at various speeds. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the software needed to be updated. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,868. Updated 05/09/17

I own a 2013 Nissan Rogue.that I have kept up the service on at the dealership for everything, but while driving at various speeds, the vehicle suddenly failed to accelerate properly. The failure was intermittent.the mileage was between 80,000.to 85,000. At that point the Rogue becomes unresponsive and can't accelerate past 40 mph. This is incredibly dangerous and it has left my family and I stranded on the interstate 3 times, now I can't trust this vehicle at all and fear for the safety of my family. And Nissan for some reason can't find anything wrong when they hook it up to the computer because there is no code error. (but they do have the [xxx] to tell me I need to buy a new transmission for a cause of over $5000 before taxes)this Rogue is only 3 years old, this all has been very frightening to me and my family, as I am on the freeway every day and someone could very easily crash into me when the transmission fails or even when I am trying to pull out into traffic from an on ramp or out of a parking spot in the city or a tool booth and there is zero power, I can't express how dangerous this is. Nissan please do something about this, we are hard working people and none of us will ever consider another Nissan if this can't be fixed.

I recently bought my Rogue at the auto nation Nissan dealership in marietta. I began my first long distance trip back home on the hwy and the car began to lose speed. I had to stop on the side of the interstate to properly assess the situation. Figured it could have been just a fluke, began to get back on the road and with my foot all the way down on the floor, the car would barely run. Called Nissan dealership and the service manager suggests that I turn my car off and let it sit because it's overheating due to ga weather. Now, it is hot, but there are millions of cars in ga that don't have to sit every hour you're on the road. He said after then, to just drive on the hwy at about 60mph. Sir this is the interstate. Not possible. People will run over you. Took it right back to Nissan and a few days later, they stated to me that there was nothing they could do. They did not properly assess the situation as the service manager told me that he drove it on the city streets. I get online and research only to find that others are having the same issues. I don't want anyone to have to go through this, Nissan needs to recall this vehicle. It is terrible. Essentially, you're paying for a glorified scooter! I need this problem taken care of immediately!

- Marietta, GA, USA

We drove an hour on the highway and suddenly the rpms went over 4000, and the car started decelerating, we were unable to get or keep highway speed, even with pedal all the way to the floor. Luckily we were able to pull to side of highway. After 15 minutes it seemed to function, but a mile later it did the same thing. Even worse on any sort of incline, even slight. For fear of our safety, we had to have vehicle towed 55 miles back home. I looked it up and am wondering why there is no recall?? our safety as well as others also on the road is at risk!

- Del City, OK, USA

Lost the ability to speed up after traveling above 70 for an hour and a half. Car began slowing down and I had to pull off on the side of the road, turned the car off and waited about 10-15 minutes before I could accelerate again.

- Austin, TX, USA

While driving on the interstate in a mountainous area, out of nowhere my car would no longer accelerate. I had to pull off of the road and restart the car to resolve the issue. Now this is happening on a regular basis if I drive my car for longer than an hour at 60+ mph, it will suddenly stop accelerating. In addition, in the last few days, after coming to a complete stop on the interstate off ramp, I tried to accelerate from a complete stop and the car just barely moved, enough for me to have pulled into oncoming traffic, but not enough to keep going to get myself out of the way. I had to quickly reverse to move my car from the middle of the road. If there had been a car behind me and I was unable to reverse I would have been hit. This problem has been reported over and over again as an issue with the cvt. My car is only a 2013 and just barely over the (crappy) powertrain warranty that Nissan offers on this car.

- Fairfax, VT, USA

After driving for long periods of time, the car will suddently and continually fail to accelerate over a certain speed even with the fuel pedal pressed to the floor. I believe the car goes into a fail safe mode due to an issue with the transmission. This happened on the interstate and I could not longer even get up to the speed limit

- Santa Maria, CA, USA

The transmission consistently overheats (service dept told me this is what the issue is) and caused the car to go into "fail safe" mode which means you have no power. I was travelling in an 75 mph zone and the fastest I could get to was 60. Tractor trailers were having to slam on their breaks. I put my flashers on to make it safer. This has happened on 6 different trips. Per the svc dept this is a known issue with the Nissan Rogue and the fluid gets too hot. This is a very dangerous issue because you do not know it is in fail safe until you attempt to give the car more power like to pass or something. Very very dangerous. I have video of the incedent if needed.

This 2013 Nissan Rogue lost acceleration completely when on a slight hill/incline. Speed went from 60mph to 30mph in seconds, nearly causing a collision with a big rig truck on my side and a large vehicle coming up behind. The gas pedal was completely to the floor with no result in acceleration. When able to come to a complete stop, I had to power down vehicle completely. I opened the hood (hoping to cool the potentially hot engine to resolve) and restart. I had to restart a couple times to get the car to recognize being in "gear." There was no warning, no service engine light, nothing. The vehicle is current on oil changes, etc. This issue could have caused bodily harm or injury had I not been able to safely get to the side of the road, especially since we were on a hill and everyone is trying to maintain momentum behind me on a two lane road. This is clearly a safety concern. Since that issue, the vehicle has now done it approximately 6 more times.
