I was driving in the morning, on a somewhat busy road that acts as a small two lane highway that leads to the freeway, and all of a sudden it felt like I had gotten a flat tire and was driving on the rim. No sounds, just dramatic loss of power. I was able to pull over on a very narrow shoulder. Inspected tires and all were perfectly fine. I waited a few, turned car on which started just fine. Put car into gear but absolutely no engagement!! nothing. With foot pedal to the floor, just didn't move. RPM's were normal along with speed odometer. This was not only a scary situation to be in knowing that while in motion this vehicle lost all ability to function but a huge safety concern for me and others. I truly hope this doesn't happen anymore! something needs to be done about this. Not okay Nissan not okay
I have a 2013 Nissan Rogue select with 87,000 miles. It shudders/jerks intermittently during idle at drive mode even when ac and fan are off. Upon driving to austin in February, my car began to lose power on a highway with 70 mph limit. The RPM continued to G up, as did the gas gage. I was not able to accelerate. Luckily, I was near an exit and able to coast off to barely make it to the gas station, to allow the car to cool. The temperature gage, never ran hot. Then just last week making the same trip, the same issue, but this time the check engine light came on. This is a dangerous situation where I could be killed, or kill someone else because I am not able to move at the required speed. I thin took it to a Nissan dealer and was told it was the transmission. I filed a complaint with Nissan headquarters. Someone name jeremy called me a couple of days later only to say that the warranty had expired and there was nothing he could do. I even mentioned the class action suit that he said he knew nothing about. This is a defective factory issue and should have been recalled. I do not have the money, nor should I have to pay for something that was an issue that they knew about. I am including pictures of the repairs. I can provide the whole report, but I do not have a scanner at the moment. Also the firm brandsetter, straanch and jennings in Tennessee has a class action suit. Please investigate this. Someone is going to be killed, lets not allow it to get to this point. Thanks.
My gears started slipping. It wasnt safe to drive but my engine light didnt come on until a week later. Revs up to 6 or 7 before struggling to get up to speed.

While traveling on highway at 60 mph my daughter turned off cruise control to pass another vehicle and accelerated to pass then returned to the right lane and turned cruise back on. When she did this the vehicle slowed down to about 40mph. She was near an exit so she took it and as she was climbing the hill on the exit the car had lost so much power she was going about 5mph. She made it up the exit and pulled the car over and shut it off. She waited a few minutes and started it again and the car would not move at all until she got it up to about 5000 RPM and then it was only inching forward a little. She let the car sit for about 4 hours and towed it home but by then the vehicle started up and rode up the trailer ramp and then back down the ramp when she got it home just like it was normal.

Driving on highway us-90 coming home from new orleans to gulfport. My cars cruise control had stopped working 45 mintues to an hour after I got onto us-49 my check light came on I pressed my accelerate pedtal to the floor an the only thing it did was raise my rpms to almost 6. me an my child in the back seat were almost hit in the rear by an 18 wheeler because my vehicle had trouble with the transmission. When I got back to gulfport ms I stop at a auto-zone an they put it on the digital device an 3-4 codes came up the turque converter was bad in my car. I know from reading on the internet bulletins that Nissan is aware of the problem an hasnt done anyting about it.
The vehicle is not shifting correctly on highway or city, the rpms fluctuate when hitting the gas and and speed does not match the rpms. Which getting to 60mph the car starts to shake and will down shift and which makes the vehicle harder to accelerate and in some cases wont accelerate at all even with the rpms continuing to raise. I have gotten it looked at by certified mechanics and the said they cannot tell the issue especially with no warning lights and no faulty codes. When sitting at a stand still the rpms continue to raise over 2000 even with the vehicle in park.
I have had problems with this car since the first week I bought it. If it's not one thing it's another. Engine problems, oil leaking problems. Check engine light coming on whenever. Possible oil burning problem. Spark plugs, piston rings, axles, cylinders, mounts. This car is in the shop every other 2-3 weeks. Now it's been in the shop for a month+. it's is crazy that a dealership would sell this vehicle to a customer. There's even this thuddering noise. Things have been fixed and something else went wrong. It's been non stop repairs since day one. It also seems that 2013 Nissan Rogues and had many manufacturer problems and issues. I feel this was damaged car that was never reported and then someone fixed a few fake things and then resold it know this car was no good. When I drive it makes a loud thudder noise, the steering is not smooth. Also one night my car completely stopped when I tried to reverse and red light came on.
I have had one problem after another and this started right after purchase. A/C compressor went out first, driving down the road, cost $600 to fix. After that, the blower motor burned up while warming up one morning. I started smelling burned plastic, $300 repair. 6 months later, I am spending $4000 to replace the burned up transmission. I went into fail-safe mode while I was attempting to make a turn against traffic. Then I could smell something burned after driving.now I have just spent another $500 on a new battery and cables and new alternator, only to hear my vehicle still not starting. As I write this, I'm waiting for a call from Firestone to now tell me what's wrong with my car and how much this will cost! it is only February, and I have already used my 2 weeks vacation because my car is undriveable. Meanwhile, I still have 2 yrs left on my auto loan agreement. Please help us 2013 Nissan Rogue victims
Vehicle will not get up to speed when driven for a 45 minute period of time and won't allow me to pick.up to state speed I noticed there's been complaints about this issue due to a low temperature governor on the vehicle and that makes it dangerous for the other people traveling due to that issue I was on the interstate 25 traveling South
With no warning no check engine light nothing one day I left for work and hardly had any acceleration turned around brought it back home. Had to take it to Nissan because it's a cvt and they informed me that my 2013 with 134000 miles and still owe $7000 on the transmission went. The "refurbished" transmission quote was $2400 just for the part. We live paycheck to paycheck and cant afford that so I contacted corporate Nissan who did an "investigation" and denied that they were at fault for the faulty transmission. After doing some research I have seen several articles about complaints of loss of acceleration. This is a major safety hazard, like I said we had no warning at all.
I have a 2013 Nissan Rogue. 104,000 mi. I've had about 2 yrs, and took it for oil change and transmission check. It was losing power when I applied the gas pedal. They informed me my only choice was a new transmission. What" why" apparently, this cvt transmission has burned up in my vehicle. Meanwhile, nothing on the dash ever told me I had any problems. Nissan doesn't offer the extended warranty on 2013 Nissan Rogue. They started it in 2014!
At 83,500 miles, the cvt started whining and shifting was occasionally difficult. RPM's fluctuated at all speeds. Diagnosis indicated the cvt was defective and needed to be replaced.
Driving on highway the engine rpms started to race real high then real low. Engine light came on. Took car to dealer and looks like transmission bad, manufactorer and dealer will not stand up for the product and it seems they had recalls on this with other year cars but not this year.

The driver was able to move onto the road shoulder, restarted the engine and drove the vehicle off the highway traffic. The drive drove the vehicle home on the back roads. There was no warning lights on the instrumental panel before or during the failure occurred. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic and a transmission mechanic and the contact was advised to take the vehicle to a Nissan dealer.the vehicle was taken to kelly Nissan of woburn Nissan 95 cedar street woburn, MA, 01801 phone (781-835-3500) the dealer performed a diagnostic that located the failure at the cvt transmission internal the transmission failure wad due temperature logic raised temperature transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The failure mileage was 75,000.

My car will no longer move when the gas is pressed. I have been told by several people it is the cvt transmission. Driving on the highway and it just stopped. I almost got hit. Now it won't accelerate at all.
On our return trip from miramar beach, fl to our home in vestavia hills, al the car's speed abruptly reduced to approximately 45 mph after driving at approximately 60 mph on a state highway (for approximately 1 1/2 hours) but the vehicle would not respond to the accelerator other than to "vroom" when I pressed it with my foot. The problem with acceleration did not correct itself during the remaining 75 miles of the trip. We also smelled an odor like burned oil when we stopped. Very dangerous as all other cars passed us on this Alabama state highway and the subsequent distance on interstate-65. Based on what we have read on the internet, including settlements of class action law suits and extended warranty awards for earlier model years, we believe the problem is related to the Nissan's cvt transmission and it's factory settings.
The car starts to lag and decelerate when trying to go over 50mph..it sputters when sitting at red lights/stop signs. Car only has 70,000 miles on it, and took it to mechanic today who stated it was the cvt and that its common with 2013-2016 models. There are so many complaints on these cvt transmisisons, its crazy that there hasn't been any recalls yet. There were lemon laws in other states protecting other Nissan models for cvt issues, which have already expired, however there seem to be none for Nissan Rogue..I guess no recalls will be done until one of us dies..which is a shame..
