The main and most dangerous issue is first hearing high pitch whining/winding sound while driving as the rpm's start to spike and stay high resulting & causing vehicle to lose power and speed for no apparent reason. Subsequently, as you attempt to depress the gas pedal to increase speed to try to mitigate the issue, the vehicle continues to lose power and speed regardless of how depressed gas pedal is (even completely depressed to floorboard). Within seconds vehicle is forced to a stop from lack of power and acceleration and will not continue to drive at all. This issue is nothing less than terrifying and incredibly dangerous especially while on the freeway with heavy traffic speeding and whizzing past you at 70+ mph. If this is happening to people at night, it's only a matter of time before someone will be killed by the speeding and oblivious traffic coming from behind if that has not already occurred. I was travelling with my child and our dog in the back and wonder would have happened if I couldn't have merged into the slower lanes in heavy traffic and off to the shoulder to "safety." What will happen to a family in the fast lane that is not able to merge to safety or when they find themselves forced and stuck in the middle of the freeway between the median and the fast lane?? In addition, upon starting, vehicle will also idle higher than normal and stay high with slight fluxuation even while in park. While driving, rpm's continue to spike with every gear shift and vehicle is slow to respond and keep up with desired speed and will continue to worsen as time progresses. The longer the drive, the more (tired) and sluggish it seems with both lack of response, lack of power, and lack of speed. First signs of issue were while idling at stoplights, vehicle will shake and seem to idle very low as if going to die while at idle. There is also a noticeable shake while driving especially at higher speeds with this problem remaining and lasting the duration of drive.

There is a very strong odor of gas that I can smell inside the cabin and fuel consumption is at an all time high.I drove on a full tank less than 100 miles and it was on empty. The storing gas odor is concerning and Nissan refuses to address or fix.

Unknown I was driving to st. Louis on the highway and was going 70 mph and then I hear a winding noise and loss acceleration and had my foot all the way down on the gas pedal and it would not speed up I was only going 40 on a highway that I was going 70 mph on and kept losing speed

We bought a 2012 Nissan Rogue with 88,000 miles for our daughter last year. Out of nowhere the car/transmission would not accelerate in rush hour, on the highway. The engine light came on but the message was vague as to what the issue was. I don't need to restate the obvious, as far as safety concerns. Thankfully she made it to the shoulder and we had to have the car towed. This could have had catastrophic consequences for her. I have read numerous posts about how this is an inherent problem with the Nissan transmissions without a recall. We are in the process of determining which repair facility to use but the cost, at a minimum, will be $4,200.

Reported this issue to NHTSA 12/2018. Around 8/2022 incident started - full tank of gas, range 280 miles (typically 320 miles). Following daily drive/use the fuel gauge and electronic display not in sync with distance/miles remaining. I re-fueled a full tank end of August + early September (engine light pops on display) and the range as of today states 26 miles remaining (gauge should be in red area) however the gauge is at 1/4 tank. The fuel gauge and electronic display are inaccurate and erratic leaving me unsure how much fuel I actually have remaining.

My car is jerking/bucking when I accelerate. I was told by 2 mechanics that it is due to a transmission issue. I also was told that they have seen this issue on several other Nissan Rogues. I believe this is a safety issue because jerking while driving is dangerous because this action might cause an accident and endanger the occupants of the car and other cars driving nearby. There was a light that came on immediately when the car started to buck. This frightened me because I never experienced this before, especially since I had my car checked a month and a half prior. I am now scared to drive it due to my safety and others, but also doing more damage to the vehicle. This car has had transmissions issues in other various years. Obviously there is a defect with the CVT transmission for more years than what has been reported. My car is available to be inspected upon request.

My 2012 Nissan Rogue sv that I purchased 16 months ago has had the same reoccurring problem where you'll be driving and the accelerator will get real hard and drop down to 20 miles an hour it's been in the shop seven times had several parts replaced the problem seems to have no reoccurrence theme it's hard to figure out why and when it does it we've gone as long as six months and 4000 miles without issue or three times in the same week the problem is it's almost caused 4 bad accidents we are very lucky my wife is scared to drive it I would do anything to get it fixed but we've tried and tried and tried and it just doesn't seem anybody can figure out what's wrong with it as much as I don't want to put it on the road again we don't have the means to just walk away, the car has 78K miles and runs great except for this dangerous issue

After an 1.5 hours on an interstate (non-stop driving) the vehicle begins to decelerate speed. With no light indicator or explanation. The accelerator gauge is going up and down really quickly, like the car is out of sync with the speed. No indicator light or anything turns on. I will be going at a speed of 75 or 80 and without warning, it decreases in speed. I can put the pedal to the floor and it still continues to slow down. There is no overheating fumes or smell at all. I have to pull over and wait until the engine cools down before returning onto the highway. This happened the first time in 2017 (probably 70,000 miles) when I took a road trip and I though it was a one time occurrence. Unfortunately, it has happened several times afterwards, but always after I've been on the road for more than an hour. I've taken it in to be serviced twice, the water pumps were replaced, but still I have the same issue. The most recent incident happened September 2020. I thought I was the only one having this issue until I looked online and saw others complaining about the exact same thing. I just try not to take long road trips. Day to day driving is not an issues.

The fuel gauge is reading incorrectly. When it is full it will say half a tank. I have tried to fill up at multiple different gas stations to ensure that tank was full. It just reads incorrectly always. With just a little over a hundred thousand miles.

I reported a fire complaint back in the summer to you on this vehicle. Now my accelerator just suddenly quits working. I reported this to downtown nashville Nissan around June 2019. They said no code came up. It has since been happening more and more. Twice when I was trying to get on the interstate. Two weeks ago it happened five times in a row and wouldn't go over 30 mph. When I would let completely off the accelerator and push it again it jumps like all of the energy busts through at once. I have since done research and this is a very common problem. My vehicle still only has less than 59,000 miles on it. This is a very serious safety issue. I am sure people have had to have died because of it but since they are dead they can't report it. I have multiple sclerosis and it makes the safety issue even worse. I can't walk very far if I get stranded. If I don't get rear ended on the interstate before that happens. Nissan is very aware of this. Even Rogues with 8,000 miles are doing this. It isn't a matter of just being stranded somewhere. Vehicle was moving every time on interstate and city streets. The vehicle won't show a code to the dealer so they say I have to take a video with my foot pushing down on the accelerator and showing the speed that I am going. Never mind that I am driving down the road on the interstate in a vehicle that is failing. The date I am giving you is just the last time it happened.

My car failed inspection due to a defective mass air flow. I have just changed the mass air flow, and my car still continues to show the check engine light. The vehicle drives really slow the gas mileage is terrible,

- Dallas, TX, USA

12/16/18 filled full tank of gas. Range showed 297 when normally it shows 320-330 miles on a full tank. 12/18/18 am, check engine light on while driving to work. 12/18/18, pm 225 mile range, fuel gauge at 3/4. 12/19/18 am, 212 miles 3/4 fuel. 12/19/18 am 194 miles, 3/4 gauge. 12/19/18 called local Nissan dealer. 12/19/18 filed report to NHTSA. Fuel gauge is reporting 3/4 tank (stopped moving). The range of miles on a full tank is incorrect and inaccurate. Since the fuel gauge is stuck at 3/4 full and my mile reading is incorrect, I do no know how much fuel is in my vehicle unless I track the odometer start and subtract 300 (to be safe).

Driving on a hot day, 104, car lost acceleration. Did not overheat. Would not accelerate above 60 mph. Parked car overnight and the next day it ran fine. Had transmission fluid checked and mechanic dropped pan but so no signs of mechanical failure of the transmission. My opinion - fuel vaporization?

- Calexico, CA, USA

Got in my car today engine light came on, went to check eats wrong and he told me my mass air flow sensor was sending a code. I remember getting a recall letter in the mail for this, but my VIN number is not on the recall list.

On November 10, 2016 I noticed that my 2012 Nissan Rogue gas gauge is off. Even with a full tank of gas, the gauge will read the tank as below the full level. At times it will show the tank as 3/4. today (November 16, 16) my car was taken to the dealership it was purchased brand new to be seen for this problem. The service team informed me that no error codes were being thrown on their computer. I tried to explain that I know something is faulty with the fuel gauge. I fill the car up with gas and the gauge stays at 3/4 of a tank. It does not move, letting me know when I am full or empty on gas. The service department tried to sell me on the idea that the Rogue just has "great gas mileage". nothing has or will be done to resolve this issue.

Acceleration of vehicle after driving for over 40 minutes is reduced greatly. Attempts to accelerate after highway driving creates a major hazard when vehicle does not allow to safely move into traffic. Attempting to accelerate, vehicle does not respond when trying to safely enter trtaffic

The only problem I have is regarding the fuel gauge reading incorrectly. For example a full tank will give me a range of 235 mpg, while it should be over 300 mpg. I have 2012 Nissan Rogue AWD. 2nd test with the tank has 3/4 of a tank and the range was around 189 mpg. I went to Nissan dealer and tested same year and model with half of a tank and gave me 165 mpg. Dealer are aware of this issue and there is no recall on it. Quote for repair: $119. To diagnose. $420. For sender unit and sub-sender unit (vehicle is AWD) and $263. For labor. There should be a recall on it to fix that issue and not to charge people hundreds of dollars.
