Vehicle lost power while driving on the freeway and abruptly dropped from 75 mph to under 50 mph. Vehicle was taken to jackie cooper Nissan in tulsa where it was originally purchased and was told that the transmission is going out.
I purchased my car in 2016 which was previously a lease. When I got the car I noticed a whirring sound as I applied the gas and a low pull as it coasted downhill. Several different people I asked about this stated it was normal. I've never driven or owned a Nissan before and I just thought it was the way the car drives. A couple of months ago, after driving to get my son from college, the car barely went above 60 mph as I pressed the gas. I pulled over, thought it was too hot or maybe a bad battery (had it tested, still good) or maybe the fuel injector. I stopped and got some fuel injector cleaner and let my car rest for a bit before heading 2 hours back home. It never happened again until this past Friday. Had the codes read when it became sluggish and was given P1778 code. Ultimately, myself, my daughter and my 2 foster daughters got stuck in traffic B/C my car barely moved at all during stop and go traffic. I had it towed and when the mechanic checked it that Monday morning he confirmed that my transmission was bad and to take it back to the dealer, that Nissan has had several problems w/ it and it should be under an extended warranty, which repairs may otherwise run B/w $3000-$4000. Upon my research, contact w/ Nissan Consumer Affairs and the dealer I've come to understand that my year (2013 Nissan Rogue) is not covered under the extended warranty and this appears to be a burden and danger to consumers that Nissan has been aware of at least since 2003 yet has not been vigilant enough to fix. I also see where there have been and currently are class action law suits against Nissan regarding the cvt transmissions. I have no alternative means of transportation. Please help!!!
I did not get any indications from my car that I was loosing power on the interstate. I push the gas pedal and nothing. I was driving for over an hour and that is when it happens. Unfortunately this has happen more than once. At times it start to slows down. One time when I got off the interstate and stopped at a stop sign and it almost died at the intersection. Now I see it is a known problem I would like Nissan to fix this because this could be a serious problem for me or anyone driving this. I almost got hit my a trunk, and a car on the interstate I don't trust this car anymore. I would like them to fix it right...
Car lost power as we were on the highway, going from 70 to 40 mph in no time. Started to smoke. Just had oil changed and all fluids checked without any issues. After we were towed off the highway and waiting we decided to try the car again to see if it was working. Car went fine the rest of the way. Coming back home about 300 miles, car drove ok, but it felt like there was something off. Brought it to the dealer and was told that it needs a new transmission as well as a transmission cooler kit. Total would be $5200. Car only has 67000 miles, paid in full at time of purchase, warranty expired at 60000 miles. Contacted Nissan, I was told other years had extended warranty on transmission but not my year. Also found out that there's been recalls on other years regarding the transmission but not 2013. I see there are many, many complaints online regarding this issue. I don't feel safe driving my car and I really think Nissan should make restitution on this problem. I have contacted them and waiting for regional department to contact me today.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. In addition, the vehicle made a loud whining noise while accelerating. The dealer (cannon Nissan in jackson, Mississippi) was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000. The VIN was not available.
My wife and granddaughter were travelling in our 2013 Nissan Rogue when it developed a problem. She stated she was on a major highway when it suddenly lost power and a truck following behind her almost slammed into her. I couldn't believe this happened and decided to drive it myself on a 600 mile trip. When I was 3/4's of the way through I noticed a drop in speed and when depressing the accelerator it failed to go any faster. When I traveled up hill my speed went down to 30 mph and I had to pull over due to traffic backing up behind me. I later learned this is an issue with the Nissan cvt. Now I am unable to trust taking this car on any other long trips due to safety issues. I can't take a chance of another family member being killed due to the inherent problems that Nissan has refused to repair or address.
On interstate I 75, car suddenly acted like not getting gas. Slowed down but was still going. I got off and went to an adjacent Ford dealership. The put a computer on it and said it was a torque converter problem. Advised to drive to Nissan dealership. Which I was able to do. They put computer on it and said Ford diagnosis was correct but also a transmission problem. Ref 15-084A. The dealership did mot mention that this was supposed to be a covered repair. Charges would be 3600. +.
Backing out of my driveway and heard a loud noise from rear of vehicle pull backing and noticed fluid on the pavement. Upon inspection of fluid leakage noticed that the differential housing was cracked open and that was the problem with the noise and leak. Had vehicle towed to the dealer and rear differential hadto be replaced ata cost of $2117.12. Contacted Nissan customer service and was told there was no recall and they stated if there was ever a recall that I would be reimbursed if there was a recall in the future
Four times now the vehicle has experience a loss of power when in drive. In all four instances the vehicle had to be stopped, put in park and then was able to proceed. All four instances occurred as the vehicle was pull away from a stop. In one instance an accident was only avoided due to the drivers in cross traffic paying close attention. The last incident of on 3/29/18. The vehicle is currently in at the repair shop and the dealer service area is saying they can not even find a tsb on the issue.
Loss of ability to accelerate. Transmission will go into fail safe mode after approximately 20 minutes of driving regardless of weather, or town or hwy driving. It has left me with be able to go 40 mph or less on the highway. Will not accelerate after stopping and when it does the rmps will be up near 4000 just to go 10-15 mph. On 3/31/2018 I had to be escorted off the hwy by chp because I couldn't keep up with traffic. This is not the first time is has happen. It occurs just about everyday. I have checked all my fluids there are no lights on my dash.
Several times this vehicle while traveling on highway for along period of time was lose power and check engine light would come on.most of the time this would happen when I was far from a exit or rest area.at first I could shut vehicle off then back on and it would clear itself.my dad checked for codes and found a code for transmission(PO744)-we contacted a Nissan dealer to ask them to look at vehicle but they said it would have to be in "broke mode " to diagnosis.I had traveled several different times but each time it happened I was not close to any dealer.my dad gave me is scan tool to travel with so if I got stuck, I could clear the code so I could make it home.finally on March 15th as I was coming back from a trip, the car acted up and I was able to get vehicle to country club Nissan in oneonta New York.they drove the vehicle and was able to duplicate the issue.so I brought the vehicle for diagnosis on March 21st.they found the transmission has failed.now on research we have found this is a common problem with the cvt transmission.Nissan has extended warranty on older vehicles for this issue on some vehicles.also they have a tsb out for my exact issue(tsb#ntb16-090) I contacted Nissan customer service.they gave me a case#30284691.after five days they got back to me and advised me that they would not cover this repair.this is unacceptable as they know its a on going issue with this transmission and I know this by research(all over the internet).the extension on some models was 10 years or 120,000 miles.also the tsb also proves that they know of this problem.this vehicle is my life line.I still owe on this vehicle for three years and its no good to me with this problem.the repairs are beyond my budget.we have had bad weather here in upstate New York and this vehicle has left me aside the road.my dad had to come and get me two hours from home when it broke down.
Lift gate rusted around the emblems and tail lights within one year - they replaced it. Less than 8 months later it started rusting again - they replaced it. Is now rusting again and they will not do anything. Blows heat through the vents when all controls are off and temperature is set to the coolest setting. Latest issue is I was driving my kids home at night and when I tried to accelerate from a stop light the vehicle only moved slowly at the RPM went above 4,000 almost causing me to get rear ended. Eventually I could get to 50 mph but anything over that and the RPM's would race over 4,000. Took it to the dealership and am being told the transmission is shot and it will cost $3,500 and I only have 95,000 miles on it!
Turning out on road vehicle lost acceleration and then lost all acceleration. No warning, no engine light. Pushed back to house and towed to Nissan. Cvt transmission was the problem and spent roughly 200 to tow and second diagnostic which Nissan wanted to do. Total quote $4460. It concerns me that there was no prior warning to this. Just went out with the whole family in car.
The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. While driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle lost acceleration. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact had to pull over to the side of the road and let the vehicle cool down for approximately 45 minutes. The vehicle restarted normally afterwards. The contact stated that the failure had been occurring intermittently since the summer of 2016. The dealer (hummel's Nissan in des moines, Iowa) diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000. The VIN was unavailable.
While driving the car on a highway in heavy traffic, it began to shake and make a loud noise. Within a couple of minutes the car began to slow down and would not accelerate. After pulling over in the middle of heavy traffic the car completely stopped. The car was towed to a Nissan dealer and the it was found that the cvt had an internal failure with no movement. Although Nissan was contacted immediately they refused to assist with the repairs of the car because the mileage deemed the car out of warranty. There were no indication that this problem was going to occur. The transmission was defective and faulty and had to be replaced. After researching the problem, I discovered that Nissan has had problems with the transmissions of Rogues in the past. The vehicle was then towed to a aaa car care center for repair.
The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. While driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle decelerated and stalled without warning. The vehicle restarted after several attempts. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to autoway Nissan (9920 E adamo dr, tampa, fl 33619) where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was advised of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall. The approximate failure mileage was 69,000. The VIN was not available.
Driving on interstate at 70 mph, when car suddenly reduced to 50 mhp in jackson ms, almost got hit from behind by 18 wheeler. Took it to the dealer in meridian ms and they stated the cause of the transmission failure and damage are due to boiling coolant. The boiling coolant is caused by the coolant system that can not cool the coolant liquid fast enough. This only happens if you are driving on highway for a very long hours. Dealer suggested replacing the cvt transmission ($4000), Nissan advices to add a second external cvt oil cooler kit ($900) to prevent coolant liquid from boiling and to protect the transmission. I had extended warranty, they will not cover this issue. It's a known issue and it's Nissan's design flaw. Warranty companies know about it and they will not cover for this particular issue despite of their contract says transmission is covered. Nissan offered to pay for half of the repairs. They did admit it was a design flaw on phone.
I was driving on a major highway and all of a sudden I loss power, the car never turned off but as I pressed on the gas pedal it wouldn't accelerate so I had to coast from the left lane all the way to the right lane to get to the emergency lane. Mind you there is oncoming traffic blowing there horn because of course I'm clearly not going the speed limit on the highway. I had to call a tow truck to take me to the closest Nissan dealership which I'm not familiar with because I'm out of town. But once I get there they tell me my transmission is out and I need a new one. I bought this car in 2013 brand new I'm the only driver and my transmission goes out in 2017. I still don't believe it's my transmission but who am I to argue but I have to put up $4,200 and I'm still paying on this vehicle!!! I should have went with my first mind and got my Cadillac. I will be trading this Nissan Rogue in and inform everyone I know not to purchase a Nissan at all. My warranty doesn't cover a thing, wow!!! I've had 2 other mechanics look at and they say it could be my sensors because my speedometer still moves when you give it gas and if it sits a while it will go forward and backward but not for over a mile or two. I really wasted my money on this vehicle.
Tamara recall I was driving with my family and or dog when the car went from 50mile a hr. To 25 mile a hr. With out any notice and this happened on a road where there is a lot of traffic and there is no room to make an emergency stop so I with online to see if other people where have this problem and it seems like there is a whole community of people that have this problem the Nissan is aware of it and they're not doing anything about this this is a safety issue I read about somebody on the highway going 65 miles an hour in their car drop down to 30 miles an hour and they had to call for a tow truck I feel that there needs to be something done about this and it needs to be talked into I think the cvt transmissions are a good idea but there's a lot of flaws and safety issues with them it's just a matter of time until somebody gets an accident because their cvt failed and I don't want that to happen to me or my family or anybody else in their family!!
