With around 60K miles I noticed that when driving extended distances, my Nissan Rogue would not allow me accelerate pass 65mph. I had never experienced this before so I took it to my local dealership to have it evaluated and see if any computer codes popped up. Nothing came up. This issue kept going on so I took it back a year later around 79K miles and suddenly some codes appeared for cvt issues. They said I would need an entirely new cvt. I have been fighting this with Nissan and have found no resolution. I don't feel like this is something that I should have to cover seeing as though there was an extended Nissan warranty issued of 120,000 miles/10 years for 2010 and earlier models. Obviously, they haven't fixed the issues because there are hundreds of owners having this same issue. Google it or search Nissan forums. It's not fair to the consumer. I am a single mom and still have over $16K to pay on this vehicle. It is my only means of transportation. I was driving out of town for the christmas holiday with my 4 year old daughter in the car and the transmission went into full limp mode on the interstate jeopardizing our safety. My car ended up being left on the side of the road. Now I have to figure out how to tow it back to my local dealership when finances are already tight during this time of the year in a one income household. Nissan seems uninterested in issuing a new extended warranty for these vehicles but maybe this is something NHTSA can push for. Someone has to look out for the consumer. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
My 2013 Nissan Rogue suddenly began losing acceleration ability. The RPM's would rev up high with no increase in speed. This happened on several occasions while driving in traffic with the car behind me having to slam on brakes or swerve to avoid impact. Even more dangerous, the vehicle has done this when turning left across traffic lanes. Even with plenty of time to turn, the vehicle would not accelerate as it barely crawled with oncoming traffic coming quickly. If the other vehicles had not been able to slow down or change lanes to avoid my seemingly stalled car, there would've been a major accident. This happened multiple times in traffic, turning across oncoming traffic lanes, as well as pulling out onto highways & busy streets. I was too terrified to drive the car for fear of causing an accident that could kill my self & my children that I had to stop driving my Nissan until I could get enough money to replace the transmission. I am self-employed so this caused a major hardship. I am convinced that the cvt transmission will cause serious and fatal accidents, and probably already has, if Nissan does not do something about this flawed transmission.
Cvt transmission with 117,000 miles. Told by dealer I need a new transmission @ a cost of $4K for a remanufactured transmission. Nissan extended transmission warranty to 120,000 miles for '03-'10 Nissan Rogue model years but refuse to pay for or at least partially cover cost to replace transmission. Dealer said Nissan Rogue cvt transmissions continues to be an ongoing problem for model years later then 2010. Nissan will only warranty a remanufactured transmission for 1 year or 12,000 miles which shows Nissan has little confidence in the existing design of their cvt transmissions.
The car has went into limp mode several times. Once with two small kids on the interstate almost causing an accident. The latest time I was unable to get it out of limp mode and had just exited the interstate. Now I have a wonderful yard ornament on which I make payments. There has to be a recall at some point. After reading on the internet it is not an iisolated event. Will a family need to die to get this fixed?
Half way into a 4 hour trip home from the beach, on a major interstate highway, our 2013 Nissan Rogue experienced loss of acceleration. The temperature this day was probably around 85 degrees. We had been traveling at an average speed of 70-75 mph. With the gas pedal all the way to the floor, it would not go over 60 mph, and would start to decelerate even further going up hills. We decided to exit the highway. At the bottom of the ramp, while trying to pull out into traffic, the car would only go about 5 miles per hour. We were afraid we would be hit by oncoming traffic before we could get pulled off the road safely. We pulled into a travel plaza, filled the car with gas, and got lunch. Twenty minutes later we started up the car and it appeared to act normally, so we decided to continue with our trip. This was approximately 6 weeks ago and it hasn't happened since. There is a loud whining sound coming from the engine that appears to be getting worse, especially when traveling on a large highway at highway speed.

"takata recall" this complaint is concerning the transmission control body valve and cooler kit assy. After checking other sites and talking with the company that warrant my car I discover that Nissan was aware of this problem and because it's not a safety issue Nissan refuse to do a recall. Other owner have also experience the same problem of one similar to it, while driving on the highway car loose power. I read on one of the investigation site that no company will warrant the cvt transmission by Nissan.
I'm driving on the highway 5 freeway. Listening to music. All of a sudden I start hearing a whistling, and whining sound. I thought it was the radio so I turned it down. It's my car making that noise. So I start to pull over and I have no power. It barely gets off the freeway within 5 mins of me hearing the noise my car is smoking. I'm with my son. There was no warning or anything it just happened. I have my oil changes on time. I had on the day before. Then this happens
All you have to do is go online and read consumer complaints about various Nissan transmission problems. I can tell you from personal experience that people can get hurt or killed in these vehicles. The transmissions in these autos overheat and when this happens acceleration declines. Pedal to the metal you are driving 50 mph on the expressway. Cars are blowing horns. Finally the tranny just goes completely out. Try being in the center lane on I 75 coasting abruptly to a crawl and trying to move over without getting hit by cars driving 70 mph or more. I almost caused a major pileup while fighting to get off road. Read other horror stories online. I have owned all types vehicles in my 64 years but I have never felt like my life was threatened because of mechanical issues. This is not a safe car. Some owners have installed two or more transmissions. Not to mention the cost. Please save lives and make Nissan correct this problem. 2009-2013 are the worst. My daughter owns a 2011 Nissan Sentra. She pulled from a stop sign and had plenty of time but as her car lost acceleration she was almost rear ended by a dump truck.. she called me crying. She has driven for 17 years and was terrified. I read stories of drivers who were attempting to make a left turn and as they sped up to cross the highway their car just creeps out in front of oncoming vehicles. Check with service centers as well and you will realize this is a major issue with Nissan. The Altima, the Sentra, the Rogues, the pathfinders. They have major issues. They need to recall these cvt transmissions and make them safe. I am upset over paying $3500 to repair this car but more upset that company is allowed to play with my life and the lives of others. I have never had a car this unsafe. Thanks for listening. Please check out what I have said. There are plenty more unhappy Nissan owners out there.
While driving at a speed of 65 mph on the interstate in heavy traffic the vehicle started loosing power at a fast rate causing me to have to coast off the interstate onto the shoulder of the interstate. The vehicle is still idling but will not go forward. After approximately 15 to 20 minutes the vehicle will go again. But again after a few miles of driving on the interstate at a speed of 65 to 70 mph the vehicle again starts loosing power causing us again to pull over to the shoulder in heavy traffic on the interstate. When we return home I did some digging into the history of this vehicle with this particular transmission and find many complaints with the same problem. After having Nissan service department look into it they find the transmission is overheating causing it to shut down. Our warranty will cover the cost of repair but Nissan requires an cooler to be placed on the transmission before it can be completely repaired due to this issue occurring in this particular transmission but the consumer has to pay out of pocket approximately $1000 for this cooler to be added to the vehicle because the cooler is an addition to the drive train. This is an ongoing issue Nissan has with this particular transmission, we were very lucky both times this has happened on the interstate in heavy traffic to get off the interstate going from a high rate of speed to completely loosing power without causing an accident.
The vehicle idles and vibrates constantly when the gas pedal is used. My wheel may not vibrate 10 minutes out of a half hour drive. It either barely will take off from start or it completely floors it and excels. Feels like a diesel rugged vehicle and not a smooth normal ride like any car or SUV should ride. I complained the day it was purchased and have hated it ever since.
I was driving on the highway. The transmission began whinig loudly. Suddenly, there was a loss of power. Even though I was giving it gas, it was only reving the engine higher. The automobile behind me almost slammed into me and I almost caused an accident as I decelerated because of the tranmission failure.
I almost died this weekend in my 2013 Nissan Rogue!!! going speed limit of 75 mph uphill from phoenix to prescott on I117 freeway. After driving for about an hour and at an elevation of about 3,500 feet outside of a town called "bumble bee" my Nissan Rogue without warning or any indicator lights coming on, begins to gradually decelerate down to just above 40 mph. Two lane highway with no shoulders on either side...very dangerous and now I am down to going a mere 30-40 mph on a highway where speed limit is 75 miles per hour!!! Rogue gradually slows down even though I have my foot depressed fully on the gas, pushing with all my weight all the way down to the floor board. Semi truck is coming up very quickly behind me and didn't anticipate me slowing down especially since my brake was not depressed and almost rear ended me. Semi truck literally had to gear down and switch lanes since he could not slow down in time to avoid hitting me. Scared the life out of me but there was no where I could go! literally had to put on hazards and continue at 40 mph or so for next 20 miles until I could exit onto highway 89, pull over and stop. This vehicle is a death trap and someone will be fatally injured just as I almost was this past weekend. I do not feel safe in my 2013 Nissan Rogue and am terrified to drive my children around in it. Took to Nissan dealer today and apparently Nissan is well aware of the issues. It is a problem with the transmission oil heating up and Rogue going into a "fail safe" mode and decelerating. Cvt needs to be added or replaced! why is this vehicle not being recalled!" are they waiting for someone to die or for a class action lawsuit to ensue before doing what is morally and ethically right!" shame on you Nissan for letting corporate greed and profits mean more to you than safety!
When I start my car it makes a rattling sound as if something is hitting the ground. After I drive for almost 45 mins on highway my car speed will all of a sudden come down from 70 mph to 20 mph and then it wont accelerate even. I was about to be hit by a truck on the highway, but somehow I managed to move the car in the buffer. I stood there for 20 - 30 mins and drove again, it was somehow moving. Also if I am uphill the car wont move it will tend to go back. When I tried to accelerate the RPM was reaching till 4 or more, but the car will not move at all. Another incident happened was I was waiting at a red signal. I was the first one in the line, as the signal became green, I removed my legs from brake, the car wont move at all. Even tried to accelerate it somehow was able to reach only till the center of the signal when the signal changed to red. I was in a panic situation, I somehow dragged it to the other side. All this happened only within 2 weeks I bought the car from a Nissan dealer (it was an used car). I took it to the delaer for inspection, they checked my car and gave me error code P0744 (torque converter) and said it can be resolved only by changing the complete transmission and would cost around 5400 dollars. When I asked why they didn't check during safety check in first place before selling the car, they gave me an answer like they cannot find issues in car until its driven on road. Not sure what kind of safety checks the dealers perform then. I could have met with an accident due to this. When I asked them for fixing this they said I should have bought a warranty and its my fault I didn't buy a warranty, and they gave me a car as-is. I told them it was not the question about giving me a car as-is, I wanted to know what kind of security testing they do before giving a car, when they gave as is why they didn't mention about such issues. Please help
2013 Nissan Rogue...after about 40 mins of consistent highway driving the car loses acceleration power and the RPM's jump into 5000+. the only way to "correct" the issue is to pull the car over, turn it off for a few minutes and then restart the car. Extremely unsafe driving conditions! I took the car to executive Nissan in ct and was told there was an internal failure in the cvt transmission. Executive said the issue can't be fixed due to the physical set up of the transmission and the only option is to replace the entire transmission. Obviously the car is less than 4 years old and to have to replace an automatic transmission after that short period of time and less than 100,000 miles is utterly ridiculous. That being said, the major concern is the safety issue it causes to not only my family but to the other families on the road as well. After researching this issue on-line it is very clear that Nissan has issues with it's cvt transmissions, specifically the Rogue and Altima. At one point there have been recalls and/or extended warranties issued because of this problem. I'm not really sure how Nissan can continue to put vehicles on the road with known safety issues. To make matters worse they do nothing to correct the issue once its reported to their Consumer Affairs division. I was simply dismissed and told "this decision is final". the reason given to me was simply because I was over the factory warranty of 60,000 miles. Imagine in this day and age of technology that a major vehicle component like a transmission is only "guaranteed" for 60,000 miles. This is a very serious issue and should be corrected immediately!!
Transmission oil cooler is needed to prevent the transmission cvt oil to stay cool so it does not go into fail safe mode here in the Texas heat. After about 2 hours of driving in 90 plus weather the vehicle shuts power. It is unfortunate timing when in traffic and you have no power and you have to pull over without getting hit to put the vehicle in park and shut it down to reset the safe mode.
My car makes a loud rattling noise when I accelerate, it does not matter up hill down hill every time I put my foot on the gas you can hear me coming down the St, if I take my foot off the gas it stops but its been doing it since I bought the car 3 years ago but now its much worse and the fact that the dealer wants 500 just to look at it is killing my pockets. Then I see that I am not the only person with this problem. Please help.
August 2nd 2016 I bought my car from farris mottor in jefferson city tn in Oct/Nov 2016 to deliver mail in. The conversion kit put into my car did not modify the engine or transmission in any way therefore my warranty was not voided. The car ran well for about 6 months then one day on route in a level ground neighborhood I was driving down the street servicing the mailboxes, I stopped at one and when I went to speed back up my car wouldn't accelerate. I had the gas pedal to the floor and the car would barely move. The RPM's didn't even rev up, it was just silence, then after a few seconds my car would pick up and move. This went on for the rest of the day and everyday after that. It is worse when going up hill, instead of it picking up and moving after a few seconds it doesn't move and instead starts to roll backwards. All this also happens in reverse and still no RPM's. so I took it to farris about three times and got nothing out of them, and when I took it to the Nissan dealership they said according to my warranty any work to the vehicle or even doing diagnostics would have to be approved by farris which they did not. So I went back to farris again and had a tech ride with me so I could replicate what was going on. He observed and agreed with what was happening but said he didn't believe it was the transmission but it had something to do with the engine. And he also seemed to blame my profession for the way the car is acting due to the way I drive but if that were true then everyone at the post office would be having the same problems with their vehicles, sorry but that's not the case. Please look into this because my car is my main priority to take care of my family. Here is a link of other people who have had this problem with this vehicle.
