I purchased vehicle new from dealer. At approx 83,000 miles I began to experience acceleration problems. I was not able to accelerate from a stop w/ pedal fully depressed. Extremely dangerous as I was almost in a car accident because car would not move. Took it to dealer and I was informed there was a recall on the transmission. Dealer replaced transmission. Now at 115,000 miles I experienced the same type of problem, except now the car shakes when I try to accelerate. I am unable to reverse or accelerate. I called the dealer and they informed me that the warranty on the transmission expires at 90,000 even though it was a replacement transmission. Nissan needs to take responsibility and fix this!!
1. failure to accelerate and shaking/stalling like behavior. While entering intersection, car failed to accelerate and continued to fail to accelerate as I drove the car the two miles to work. I thought maybe I didn't step on the acc. All the way the first time I was almost hit by a car, but realized it continued to crawl along until I got to speeds over 20mph. I was almost hit several times (a minimum of three to include T boned and rear end type collisions during the two mile drive). Got car towed to dealership and dealership notified me that it was not the transmission but it was a faulty sensor switch that told the car I was braking although I was accelerating. Dealership refused to return car to me until I had sensor replaced due to safety hazard. Dealership told me they have seen several of these issues. Additionally, several of these issues exist nationwide as noted by numerous online complaints. 121000miles. Discussed if it was the transmission, Nissan was going to see if they would help with costs since it was right outside of the extended warranty to 120K miles for known transmission issue (which I had no knowledge of). Nissan deemed it was not the transmission, however, could not say what caused the shaking. 2. car still stuttered, but the drag was gone after replacing sensor for two months. Drag is back and car still shutters. Was told by a different place that my transmission is shot. 124700 miles. It shutters like it is going to stall in traffic when slowing down, in stop and go traffic, and a lower speeds.
Vehicle loses power, hesitates, and lacks acceleration, all to the point of being unsafe while driving in traffic. I often cannot make it up hills and cannot pass cars on highways I've already had the entire transmission and transfer case replaced (in January of 2015), and now require a new transmission control module. The initial transmission failure came at approximately 74,000 miles. I purchased the car with approximately 54.5K miles on it.
When the car is in motion driving for a period of 30 minutes or longer or going up a hill the acceleration stops and the car will slow down no matter how much you press on the gas paedal. I have not experienced it heating up according to the tempeture but the car does smell like burnt. I have to turn off the car and let it cool to drive again, but the issue will continue if I drive more than 30 minutes or up a hill.
Going down the interstate going 65 mph and we lost all power couldnt go over 30 mphwe had to pull over and wait then we finally got moving again the power loss kept happening now my service engine light is on and they 1100 to fix the problem Nissan knows about the problem but won't recall

Cvt enters limp mode after 30 minutes of driving 65+ miles per hour. I lose a lot of power when that happens causing my vehicle to be unable to accelerate or go over 3K rpms.
After driving at high speeds for a while I loose acceleration. And when I come to a stop the car will not go for like 5 seconds after I step on the gas.
Was driving on hwy & started losing power up hills. Called dealership service dept & they said transmission issue. Had the transmission replaced about 3 years ago & the valve body & cooling system malfunctioned this time. There isn't a big enough cooling system for the transm & Nissan is aware of the issue. Were 3 other Rogue's getting repaired for transmission issues at the same time. Issue often arrives soon after warranty expires. Dealership svc dept indicated that it happens often and needs to be recalled.
Vehicle going up hill will loose power, cvt transmission does this randomly when going up any hill. I am going to die trying to get out of the way of oncoming cars behind me. I am afraid to go anywhere that has an uphill grade on any road.
Transmission overheats and fails. Was replaced at 90K miles and happend again at 130K miles. It is a safety hazard. It goes into "safe mode" and then quits while driving
No acceleration after driving for about an one hour at 70mph. The car start loosing power and when I press the gas it just scrim with no acceleration. This problem many many rouge 2009 users suffer from, Nissan should recall and fix the problem.
The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Rogue. While driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle lost acceleration. The contact coasted the vehicle over to the shoulder and came to a complete stop. The vehicle was turned off and towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission failed. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the cvt transmission needed replacement. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,054.
The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Rogue. While driving approximately 65 mph on the highway and attempting to pass another vehicle, the contact's vehicle would not accelerate. Approximately five seconds later, it appeared to function normally; however, the failure recurred. The dealer stated that the contact was required to purchase a new transmission versus repairing the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 190,000.
Stop for groceries and when I get back in the car I felt the ride kind a funny, I press the accelerator with no response, car didnt go more than 30 miles an hour, took me 1 hour to get back because I couldt get in the highway had to drive in local streets
The Nissan Rogue had a cvt transmission replaced by the dealer after it stopped running on the highway in 2013 with only 70,000 miles on the vehicle. The transmission failed again, 2 years later, while driving on the highway again. Nissan failed to do anything to assist me the second time with this vehicle. The vehicle was in motion on the freeway both times. There have been many issues with the cvt transmission.
My Nissan Rogue will periodically stop acceleration while I am driving on the highway. I have the pedal pushed all the way down and the car will not accelerate. I will be going the posted speed and for no apparent reason, my car will start to de-accelerating on its own. After reading several complaints I am finding out that this is due to the cvt transmission in this particular model. This is a safety hazard to anyone who is driving this car. Also, I have noticed a loud noise when I put the car in gear, which I am reading is a sign that the transmission is going out. I purchased an extended warranty on this vehicle but none of the repairs that I have listed are covered. This car is a piece of junk and I will not get anything for it upon trade-in. I am stuck with this car, and have put over $3,000 in this car already over the last 6 months.
When driving the car would start shaking and making funny noises in the back. The car eventually would not accelerate and started smoking. Took it the dealer was informed it had a broken axle and also has coupler issue. I had the axle replaced. But it still shakes and makes noises when turns are made. I was informed by a Nissan mechanic this is a common problem in the Rogue.
Looses power and slows in freeway traffic. If I had known I could send my complaint to you, I would have done so a couple of years ago when I reported the problem to Nissan usa. What a joke this auto is! and what a joke Nissan is!
