I was driving along at 50 mh and all the sudden drops down to 30 mp and even thought I push peddle to floor it won't go above 40 mh and starts trying to cut off this has happened a few times to me as well as my mom who drove my car. This is a serious safety issue that needs to be addressed..
My car is unable to accelerate after stopping. This is incredibly dangerous as I have had close calls for being in several accidents. I am scared to death to drive this vehicle anywhere but I have no choice as this is my only vehicle. I purchased the vehicle in January/February 2020 and have children that are in the car with me. I have never feared for our safety in any vehicle that I have owned previously. The RPM's also go high and switches gears only when I let off the gas. These are problems that have every time that I drive the vehicle. As a single mom I'm at my whitt's end and need this problem fixed for the safety of my family.
Was on the highway again and the car once over 80 mph, stop accelerating in the middle of the highway in major traffic and decreased to 20 mph and starting shaking again and stopped. The car would not move and I was almost plowed by a semi. I called Nissan before because this same thing happened last July 2018, and there have been complaints by others. They advised I needed to take it to Nissan and they might assist with whatever could be wrong, but they made it seem as if it was nothing. Once again there was no power coming through the car, no sensor lights came on, the car smelled like it was going to catch fire and it would only excel and not move before it cut off. Luckily I was able to get it pushed over on the main highway.
When accelerating into traffic, after a dead stop in an intersection waiting to turn, or when changing lanes the car would just stop accelerating. It would not move for several seconds. Three times traffic had to slow to wait for my car to move. Nissan dealer service said it was brake switch failure. When replaced the problem stopped.

Taking a short day trip, about a 2 and a half hour drive, my car stopped accelerating about an hour in. Gas pedal to the floor and nothing happened. On the way back home it was worse we had to stop almost every 10-20 miles to let the car rest. I just had this transmission replaced about a month ago. I would stop to maybe cool down the transmission for about 15-30 minutes, then it acts like nothing was wrong. It also has a whining noise like something is winding up.
Driving on I-76 on cruise control at 75 mph when vehicle starts to run rpms in excess of 4K while losing acceleration. Pull over and turn off vehicle. Check under the hood, slight burning smell. Wait about twenty minutes, turn vehicle on, won't accelerate at all. Wait some more, drives for a little while, then high acceleration with loss of speed again, this time never going over 60 mph. I'm lucky I was not rear ended on the interstate and killed with my two year old son.
When the cvt transmission gets hot the power from engine to transmission begins to reduce. This safety feature leads to massive fuel consumption as well as complete loss of power while driving. This has caused myself to be stuck in the middle of intersections on multiple occasions. This "safety feature" didn't start doing this until 50 miles past the warranty expired. At first it would take hours of driving before this would happen and it seems like each time it happened it took less and less driving time before it would happen again. Currently my Rogue is around 150K miles and I can't go more than 20 miles before it happens. I took the Rogue into shops for a full tune-up every30K miles trying to be sure it last for as long as possible, so I know it isn't an issue of neglect. I have researched online trying to find a solution to the problem and all I have found are thousands of other owners with the same issue. Some owners have had the problem begin as early as the 10K mark. Since the introduction of the cvt transmission every vehicle it is used in has this problem. Nissan needs to address this problem before it causes a death from pure neglect on their part. I've owned 4 Nissan vehicles and loved them all but his is the first one I had that didn't make it past 100K miles before having a major issue.
The contact owns a 2010 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 70 mph, the vehicle went into safe mode and independently decelerated. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The contact stated that the failure usually occurred after two hours of continuous driving. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced the issue several years ago and the transmission was replaced by the manufacturer free of charge. The manufacturer was contacted and informed that the failure recurred. The dealer information was not available. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 128,324.
The first time this happened I was driving to lexington from charleston and about one hour and 1/2 the car wouldn't go any faster and then it started dropping speed pretty fast, it dropped all the way to 35 mph, I had my daughter in the car with me she was scared to death someone was going to hit us, I pulled onto the side of the highway and sat for about 10 minutes started it back up and kept my speed about 65mph, and it was okay. It just happened this weekend when I was driving from charleston to charlotte, about 45 minutes away the car wouldnt go any faster and it started dropping speed fast, had the petal to the floor and nothing. I was able to pull off to the side and let it sit for a few minutes popped the hood it was not running hot. I then pulled off again to try to get to a gas station and it started up and then about 2 minutes passed and it wouldnt go any faster, pulled off on the exit and barley made it to the gas station, this time I let it sit for a good 30 minutes or so. I then got back on the hwy but wouldn't go over 65mph and it was okay. This is known issue and it seems like Nissan is aware but they are doing nothing to fix it.. I am scared to drive this car because you have no warning no light comes on and you just start dropping speed fast, someone is going to get hurt or killed there needs to be a recall immediately!!!
I bought Nissan Rogue 2010 with a clean title in December of 2013. I started having serious problems with my car in the spring of 2014. I began hearing a whining sound on acceleration coming from the transmission while driving on long road trips. I didn't think much of it up until a year later, was suddenly unable to accelerate when going up hill or driving longer than 20 miles. The pedal was down to the floor but rather than pick up speed, the vehicle would decelerate and was unable to reach even 40 mph. It started happening more and more often, and I almost got into a car accident several times. I went to different dealerships and found out that Nissan was aware of the problem with their cvts and that they extended the warranty to 10 years/120,000 mph. However, they were refusing to do anything about it because there was no way to duplicate it since it would take several miles of driving around to notice acceleration failure. The whining sound and vibration are normal I was told. After going to different dealerships multiple times and talking with Nissan customer service representatives, in December 2016 I was finally told that there's no extended warranty on my vehicle because Nissan canceled my car's warranty back in 2014 because of a branded title. I called dol and found out there was a mistake done. They fixed my title and there's no brand on it. Now I got a call from a Nissan customer affair rep mr daries who informed me that they are working on getting the brand off of my title and it should take 4-6 weeks but they are trying to expedite it. He promised he would call me regularly with an update. It's been almost two months and nothing has been done. I called several times leaving voicemail to mr daries and never got a call back from him. I can't even drive longer than 10 miles when my car starts losing acceleration and has this horrible whining noise.
This started happening right after the last recall Feb 2016. Was going at 65 mph little uphill (from 1200 feet to 2200 feet) then the speed started dropping from 65mph to less than 30mph on a busy California I-15 freeway. I had to pull the car from the far left lane (5 lanes each way) to the right shoulder where I stopped for about 35 minutes then started the car again. It happened at least 4 times since they messed up my car in the last recall. Other issue I experienced was when I stopped at a traffic light and tried to move, it barely moved then all of the sudden it jumped, it was very risky. I had to pull to a parking lot (this happened 3 times)
My 2010 Nissan rouge has 79,000 miles and was recently purchased less than 3 months ago. While driving on the highway my car suddenly would not accelerate past 55mph. I would push the pedal to the floor but it still would not accelerate.I then pulled over & lifted the hood but there was no obvious signs and the car was not overheated. I let the car rest and then got back on the highway buthe issue still continued.while researching online I realized that there are numerous 2010 Nissan rouge owners who have been having the same exact issue for years now. This is a safety hazard and should be reviewed for all 2010 Nissan rouges!
I bought a new 2010 Nissan Rogue sl AWD in July 2010. At about 50-60K miles, the engine would cut off if I came to an abrupt stop after traveling about 60-65mph and then braking ' at a red light for instance. I have also had an issue with the car not accelerating on the highway when pressing on the gas. This happened few times and I took the car to the dealer's service department, who said they could not identify a problem after doing a test drive. I find hard to believe Nissan is not aware of this issue with these many complaints of same or very similar problems. Today, 9/27/16, my car engine cut off while entering the highway, I was super lucky my car was not hit by a truck, which could have ended with me being killed.
After driving on the highway for about an hour, the car decelarates and I am unable to keep up with traffic. This will continue until I am going about 55 mph. Once I get off the highway and stop, the car will not go again until after a few minutes. This can be very dangers when trying to get into traffic after traveling onthe highway. This has happened 4 times now. This needs to be recalled by Nissan asap.
The contact owns a 2010 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 mph with the accelerator pedal being depressed, the vehicle failed to increase in speed. The vehicle was restarted and it resumed to normal. The contact mentioned that the failure occurred a second time when driving at approximately 70 mph. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 60,653.
My 2010 Rogue loses power when accelerating up a hill. I have to pull off the road and let the engine cool down for 30 minutes then the car runs ok for about 30 minutes then it loses power again. This has been happening for 2 years. I don't drive in hills often so it has happened about 6 times.
The car loses acceleration after driving for more than an hour on the highway. It is a risk going up the mountains of West Virginia. Tractor trailers get right on our bumper when the car drops below 50 miles per hour thinking we are slow drivers. Nissan customer service worked with the local dealer but did not come up with a solution/repair so we have to pick up the car and continue to be at risk. Many people are complaining about the same issue. Https://www.google.com/search?Q=Rogue+losing+acceleration&oq=Rogue+losing+acceleration
I have Nissan rouge 2010. I bought it brand new. Everything was ok until last 7, 8 months when start with problems. Every time when I drive car more than 45 + miles on highway my speed and power goes rapidly down from 70 mph to 40mph and below with noise from engine. If you try to accelerate does not work. You press pedal to the floor nothing is happening. The worst part is all this come without any warnings. I did some online research and I was shocked that a lot of people have same problem. Most likely is transmission. Yesterday me, my wife and five years old daughter were driving from houston, tx to san antonio tx which is 180 miles, I was driving 70-75 mph on I-10 when same thing happened again I lost my speed to under 40 mph and 18 wheeler behind us almost hit us. We were very lucky that day. I think problems with those small SUVS somebody needs to take seriously and those vehicles should be recall before tragedies starts. 06/26/2016
