I was made aware that there was a recall issued back on February 25, 2015. Recall id: 228072 campain #: 15V032000. I was never notified of this recall concerning my vehicle. Over the past few months, I've noticed moisture on the floor boards in the front of my vehicle. I purchased this vehicle used back in December of 2015.

Myself with my 6 year old daughter were driving from new haven, ct to fitchburg, MA. About 1 hour into the drive, my 2013 Nissan Rogue would not accelerate beyond 40mph!!! we were in steady fast moving traffic on a hot July 20th, 2018 afternoon, heatwave weather! it was terrifying!!! I put on my blinkers and slowly veered to the right lane! I had to get off the highway and make it to the nearest gas station. After several frantic calls to family members trying to figure out what to do, I decided to add engine oil, anti-freeze, gas and water hoping something would help. After sitting for an hour, I drove on the local roads to try out the car again but realized I had to get back on the highway and try to accelerate above 60mph again!!!! we made it to our 3 hour trip destination. The next day on the way back, the same problem happened and this time after stopping for a while my car still would not accelerate until we sat with the car off for an hour in the heat in a town that I am not familiar with! we had to use all local roads to get back home and that took double the time because I had to keep pulling over so the car could cool off some!!!! several mechanics have told me that I need a new transmission. It is too expensive to fix right now!!! I'm so disgusted with this car and cannot wait to get rid of it!!!! if a location takes over an hour to get to, I can't drive this car!!! my car is a pearl white color. The paint peeling on the hood and sides of the door is a whole other frustrating problem that gets worse and worse!!!

I did a research on the 2013 Nissan Rogue. 2yrs ago on the same truck.well anyway I didn't think I would have any problems with my truck until now. The transmission has now failed in my truck. Its has stalled on me in the middle of the street and highway which is a danger to me and other cars on the street. The electrical in the truck when trying to drive over the speed limit or not the truck will start to overheat and shut down on me in the street. Then I would have to seat and wait around an half hour to an hour. I have been experiencing problems for awhile but didn't expect it to get this bad.

Driving on I4 in Florida my car went from 70mph to 30 in less than 1min when I took it to the dealership they sd it was a cracked filter and fixed it 4mos later I was driving on highway got off the exit and stopped at traffic light when light changed hit gas pedal and the car will not move I pump it and then it started going but very sluggish til it picked up speed.this past Friday the same exact thing happened again. I'm very good on keeping my car tuned up taking care of maintenance on the car at the time it corresponds so I'm baffle as to why this is happening. I don't abuse my car. No lights come up in the panel indicating a problem. A few different mechanics have checked the car and can't find anything wrong with it. Yet I'm a wreck any time I'm driving thinking somebody is going to ran into the back of my car.please help me.

A month after buying the vehicle brand new I brought it to the dealership because of excessive shaking and jittering and whining noises. They said it was normal that it's the new style transmission. Now 140K miles later. I'm onn a trip with cruise control set at 75 I noticed I was slowing down it slowed to 60 while driving down the interstate in the middle of fast moving traffic. Turned cruise control off and attempted to accelerate. Once I pressed the gas pedal it did nothing. Rpms didnt go up mph didnt go up. It was like it just shut off. I got to the next exit pulled off on side turned the vehicle off and then back on. It was fine about an hour later it did the same thing so stopped at a gas station checked fluids everything normal. Got back on the interstate it was normal again. Made it to our destination and vehicle seemed fine the next 2 days but we never needed to drive over 55. On the trip home it started again about an hour in. So we stopped ate and got back on the interstate. This time we kept the speed under 65 the entire trip home and it was fine. Brought it to the dealership to get it checked out to find out that it's my transmission that needs to be replaced.

Pearl white paint is peeling off for no reason. Rust is now visible on some spots. Normal use and I only have 38,500 miles on it. Took it to the dealer 2 years ago when only a quarter size spot was visible. Now it is many more and larger spots.

My 2013 Nissan Rogue needs the transmission replaced. It has 101.512 miles on it. For a vehicle that is only 6 years old this is very upsetting. I have contacted Consumer Affairs hoping that they will pay or help pay for the cost. I have been reading about the cvt in these vehicles and it seems to be a major issue. I feel as a consumer this should be taken care of by Nissan.they should really stand behind their product. Hot in it one morning the engine E light came on backed out of my garage put it in drive and could not go over 5 miles an hour and it was making a whining so ound. Parked it and had it towed to a Nissan dealership.I am very upset that this happened and that I have this expense now.

Drivers side door does not unlock. Driver is locked inside vehicle. In the instance of a disabled driver, this is potentially dangerous as the driver must exit other door. People with limited mobility may not be able to do so. In the event of an emergency, this may also be a hazard

While traveling to orlando Florida on Sunday 05/27/2019, my vehicle stopped accelerating on the highway. The more I pressed the gas pedal the slower my vehicle became. By the grace of god an 18 wheeler truck saw my distress and guided me 1 mile to the exit on I-75 South. My car dropped down to 20 mph. This was the most traumatic experience. I was stranded from 6 pm Sunday until 6:30 am the next morning where I was then able to get my vehicle msu ran errands company to tow me 113 miles to my nephew's home in brayselton Georgia where we took the vehicle to a Nissan dealership in buford Georgia. They ran a diagnostic check to find out my transmission was gone. I never had an indication this was going out and now the price to replace this transmission is well over $5,000. I am over 400 miles away from my vehicle and don't know how I will get my vehicle fixed. Dealership told me that since I am not going to get it fixed by them I need to come get it due to them not having room to store it until I can figure out what to do. The warranty only lasted for 60,000 miles or 5 years which ever came 2st. Why can't the warranty on such an expensive part be given a 100,000 mile warranty? people such as myself riding along going about their everyday business ot knowing the vehicle they purchased can literally be a death trap. This is so not right to have to come up with a large amount of cash for such a huge repair and still have a car note to pay. I would like for Nissan to go online and read the reviews of their product, stand by these people and stand by he product. It should not have to wait until someone loose their life to dig deep into seeing the problem.

I filled up my gas tank. Turned the gas cap until it clicked and drove away. A few days later my car gives me a warning that my gas cap isn't tight. I tighten the gas cap however the warning keeps popping up when I start my car. The warning eventually goes away but my engine light comes on. I buy a replacement gas cap from the parts store however the engine light stays does not go away. A fe days later the engine light turned off. Everything is fine I go to get gas and tighten my gas cap. A few days later the gas cap light warning sign comes on again. The engine light follows a few days later. I take the car to the auto mechanic shop and he tells me I need an authentic Nissan gas cap. He orders one and puts it on and reset the engine light. Nothing is wrong with my car. I ride around a few days and the engine light stays off. I go to have my car inspected by the state for the emissions test everything is fine. A few days later my engine light comes back on. I take it to a different mechanic shop and have them test the car. They tell me the read out says it's a slow leak from the gas cap. He tighten the gas cap and reset the engine light. A few days later the I receive a warning sign about the gas cap and then the engine light comes on. The gas cap warning and engine light has been coming on and going off for over four years now. Both mechanics told me that the engine is not recognizing the gas cap. It's an authentic Nissan gas cap I purchased earlier this year. One mechanic told me Nissan has a bulletin out about the gas cap but has not completed a recall.

Car won't turn on randomly. We have replaced the battery five times. Each time the car randomly stops working every few thousand miles. The car will take ten or eleven tries to start. This is extremely dangerous. If for any reason we ever needed to leave the car cannot start quickly. It happens randomly, not all the time (sometimes it starts fine after one turn, the next time it could take five minutes to finally start, then go back to fine). No one has been able to tell us what is the cause of this defect.
