It appears there's a problem with the cvt transmissions and several complaints filed. I just purchased this vehicle not even a month ago but it's past the warranty
We were traveling down I 65 in Kentucky at interstate speed when all of a sudden the car just lost power. The car would barely go 40mph. We were only a few miles from home so we limped the car home. I just purchased the car on the 18th 2 days before. The problem is the cvt transmission but the dealership refuses to admit that is what's wrong. Gillie hyde in glasgow ky. I'm a paralyzed army vet and live on a fixed income and I cannot afford to repair the car. Nissan knew the problems with the cvt transmissions but chose to continue manufacturing the 2013 Rogue knowing the hazardous transmission and how it could cause accidents and deaths.
2013 Nissan Rogue has acceleration problems when driving on the interstate. It won't accelerate and sometimes stalls out. It only happens when driving long periods of time or when trying to accelerate up a hill.
Vehicle starts running hot after on interstate for approx. 30 min, temp will return to normal if heater is being ran on high. Diagnosis was thermostat needed to be replaced. Vehicle runs hot after thermostat was changed. While on interstate for approx. An hour vehicle still running warm. Temp returns to normal while heater is on high. While on cruise control rpms increased suddenly to 4500 with a speed of 70. Slowed down to 60 and rmps continued to climb to 4500 until I pulled over on the side of the road.torque converter clutch solenoid failing. Temp fix, sprayed connection cleaner on torque converter clutch solenoid, rpms are still slightly elevated from normal, but manageable for now.
2013 Nissan Rogue, 100,000 miles. I was driving the vehicle South down the interstate from charleston to orlando, ~70 mph, driving normally in June 2019. Around the ga/fl border, when I would hit the gas pedal to accelerate, the spedometer wouldn't go higher. The engine would rev, and the rpms would increase to 3-4,000. Happened for about 10 minutes until I got to an off-ramp. After the car cooled down for 45 minutes, we got back on the road since it was a Sunday night in the middle of nowhere ga, kingston to be exact. It drove well for the rest of the drive down to orlando with stops every hour. Same thing happened on the way up from orlando to charlotte, rpms went up, spedometer didn't move. Let the car cool and then it drove fine at lower speeds. Took it to a Nissan dealership when I got back and they diagnosed the transmission as having a faulty torque converter, P0744 was the code that came back. 12 hours of labor, saying they needed to replace the transmission. Found the service bulletin: Ntb16-090, and it seems like it's spot on, happened after prolonged driving in high temperatures. After reading the bulletin, it connects the dots for why my engine would sound weird when I was driving in the mountains, the engine would start to sound really trying after some time. Saw that a number of Nissan vehicles have been recalled due to faulty cvt transmissions, and I don't know why Nissan 2013 Rogues have not been recalled yet.

The transmission "stalled" stopped operating as I was at 55 mph, at the end of a steep uphill onramp merging onto hwy 395 from hwy 70 in eastern California. No warning lights on dash showed. Almost got ran over by a large truck. I managed to coast to the side of the hwy. After resting there for 20 minutes or so, the transmission worked partially and I limped it into reno with the flashers on. The Nissan mechanic in reno told me "they do that when they get too hot." This is dangerous.
When driving, the transmission overheats with no indicators. It starts to lose speed and rev very high while the vehicle continuously drops in speed. The diagnostic came back that it was a default in the transmission. The car also jerks, revs, and is very loud.

Takata recall. This would be my second time changing this transmission. First time was when my car didn't wanna accelerate and got stuck on 40 mph instead of 70 miles per hour. My Nissan at the time had only 50,000 miles. My Nissan right now has over 150,000 and the transmission slipping again. Did a transmission flush and nothing. I've also notice now when the weather is over 96 degrees the transmission acts up by stalling on 40 mph while driving. Even my ac compression also takes a high effect as well. If it's not one, it's the other.
While taking extended drives, the RPM's begin to increase and the vehicle begins to loose power slowing down to the point where it completely loses power. This has happened at least six times on the road, five on busy interstate highways. All instances the speed of the vehicle was traveling in excess of 60mph. Nissan knows of the problem with its cvt transmissions and has issued a technical bulletin. Nissan's technical service bulletin ntb14-002D, which describes the issue as the cvt going into fail-safe after continuous operation under the following conditions: 1) high RPM and/or driving speeds of 65 mph for 1.0 - 1.5 hours or more, 2) driving in ambient temperature of 96 degrees or higher, 3) climbing steep or extended hills for 6 miles or more, and 4) whine or rattle noise occurring during reduced engine performance (vehicle speed decrease). In the case of my vehicle, these conditions were present in most of the cases (four of the six times), in two instances ambient temperature was not a factor (November and February travel) and in one instance, climbing steep or extended hills was not a factor. Now the transmission seems to be slipping during short, local, trips. This began occurring at approx. 36,000 miles and the vehicle now has 90,000 miles (this report to nhitsa is for the most recent incident on 5/20/19). I don't take long trips frequently (10 is probably the maximum number of long trips I have made in this car). Nissan has identified a problem with 2008-2010 cvt transmissions and have extended the warranty on the Rogue to 10 yrs./120,000 miles; the same should be done with this model as well. It is unsafe and unacceptable. I've talked to three Nissan service departments and all three have wildly different answers (and prices). I don't which dealer to trust, and I don't know if it's better to repair it or trade it. Either way, I can't afford it.
As I was driving home from work, my car lost acceleration. The vehicle will not speed up, even when I press the gas to the floor. The engine just revs up. I was going up a hill in a busy section of town and was almost in an accident as the person behind me did not realize I was unable to accelerate. Luckily I was able to pull to the side of the road.
When driving down interstate going 65 - 70 mph after 1 hr driving car suddenly stooped accelerating. I pulled off on an exit and reached a stop light. When I pushed on gas pedal the car would not accelerate right away. Happened at two sets of lights. Shut the car off for 20 minutes and started driving again and it seemed ok. Driving ok short distances while I was in Maine. On my way home to Massachusetts after 1 hr of driving on interstate going 60 - 70 mph again I lost acceleration. Had to pull over and sit another 20 minutes. I was able to continue my drive after sitting and letting it cool down.
A month after buying the vehicle brand new I brought it to the dealership because of excessive shaking and jittering and whining noises. They said it was normal that it's the new style transmission. Now 140K miles later. I'm onn a trip with cruise control set at 75 I noticed I was slowing down it slowed to 60 while driving down the interstate in the middle of fast moving traffic. Turned cruise control off and attempted to accelerate. Once I pressed the gas pedal it did nothing. Rpms didnt go up mph didnt go up. It was like it just shut off. I got to the next exit pulled off on side turned the vehicle off and then back on. It was fine about an hour later it did the same thing so stopped at a gas station checked fluids everything normal. Got back on the interstate it was normal again. Made it to our destination and vehicle seemed fine the next 2 days but we never needed to drive over 55. On the trip home it started again about an hour in. So we stopped ate and got back on the interstate. This time we kept the speed under 65 the entire trip home and it was fine. Brought it to the dealership to get it checked out to find out that it's my transmission that needs to be replaced.
Driving 70-75 mph on I-80 West less than a year after bought used. Began hearing high-pitched whine that stopped when I lifted my foot from the accelerator. Continued two miles to plaza with sound getting louder and had to coast into parking area because transmission would no longer engage. No revving, nothing. Towed home ($213). Fine for months, then happened again on turnpike. Pulled over, waited an hour to cool. Drove rest of distance going 50 mph or less. Finally had to floor gas pedal to get any movement after stoplights. Now makes buzzing-screaming noise every time it starts, in neutral or otherwise. Nissan dealer says $4,000 for repair. I'm 67, on fixed income and still making payments!
