On 7/31/2020, traveling from ft. Lauderdale to sarasota, Florida, on I-95, (alligator alley) around 1 hr in after turning on cruise control, (90+ outside temps), cruising at around 82 mph... car suddenly decelerated to -60 mph and, pedal to the metal, would not accelerate, continued to slow down. I pulled into a rest stop, turned it off for 20 minutes, then restarted it and used my fixd device and app. It brought up code P0744, "torque converter clutch circuit intermittent". it ran ok for the rest of the trip and the return trip but acceleration was sluggish. On 9/3/2020, same trip, same road, same 90+ temps outside, on I-95, (alligator alley), a little over 1 hour in, no cruise control this time, car did the same exact thing: Decelerated from 82 to -60 mph. I pulled into a rest stop, turned it off for a half hour, re-started it, ran the fixd app again, but this time it said "no errors", and threw no codes. Both times car was ok after being off awhile. No problems on return trip...but in general, acceleration is sluggish. I stopped by the dealer and the service representative said they could put the computer on it for $139 but probably couldn't diagnose it unless it was happening or some codes were stored, which was doubtful I said no thanks. This is a very dangerous problem! there are over 200 complaints about this issue/problem for this year alone, but it appears that all Rogues seem to have complaints about this exact issue of deceleration and the manufacturer acts as if it doesn't exist. Some have had to replace the transmission, some have added transmission coolers with no improvement. I've owned dozens of vehicles and have never encountered this problem before. In mid pandemic with only my ss check as income I don't know what to do. I need to drive up to NY and MA and need a safe, reliable car!
When driving on highway vehicle go from 70 to 40 RPM just jump, and the vehicle will not run, have to pull off the road and wait a while before it can move, cannot take a trip that take 30 min, also will not crank when the weather is 30 or under., when vehicle stalled dangerous because cars are behind it almost wrecked on several occasion/., this been going on since I brought the vehicle. Started from 2012 to this date 2019/
While my son and I were driving up in the hills my Nissan Rogue 2011 AWD stalled and started to roll backwards cars were honking son put on flashers and had gas pedal to floor it had no power whats so ever. Finally got into a parking lot trying to get some power. Suddenly it started to work again. This was a very dangerous situation and Nissan knows about it and should not put peoples lives at stake like this. Something needs to be done about it. Thank you very reading.
Car will stop accelerating after driving for 45-60 minutes. Loud whining noises constantly. Nissan has replaced the alternator and the serpentine belt and it still happens. I have taken the car back more than 8 times and they will not fix it!! please help! I've almost been hit more than 5 times with my two children in the car because of these issues.

Was driving at high speed on the interstate with cruise engaged. Cruise would abruptly disengage causing the speed to fall rapidly, and accelerator would cease to work with gas pedal pushed to the floor. Would also decrease speed when climbing hills. Near collision took place and this is my family car in which I always have two young children with me. This happened on more then one occasion and would result in my having to pull off to the side of the road to turn the car off and reset the vehicle. This problem is going to get someone hurt or killed. Problem persisted and left me stranded in an intersection as well. Dealer says it's the trans cooler failing to keep the transmission from overheating and needs to be replaced. Repair will cost between $1100 and $1300. Called Consumer Affairs at Nissan and they have decided it's normal wear and tear on the vehicle that has caused this. This vehicle was purchased brand new four years ago and only has 72,000 miles. That response is unacceptable. Had I know the tranny would fail within that time I never would have purchased this vehicle. My recommendation, do not buy a Nissan. They do not stand behind their product. All models of Rogue before this had their cvt warranties doubled to 120,000 miles because of this problem so why not the 2011? it's the same exact problem! extremely unhappy and will be fighting this. I will be contacting the BBB and my lawyer. If you're having this problem then file a complaint. These vehicles should be recalled. I will never buy another Nissan again, and will boycott them till the end of time. Poor vehicle, poor service, poor response to consumer's. steer clear if you're smart!
