I bought my Nissan Rogue in December 2013 brand new. When the incident happened, the car has roughly 60,000. Just last summer 2018, as I was driving to atlanta on I- 20 West my car started to decelerate while I was driving at 75 mph after 40 minutes into my trip. I was so nervous, as I continued to push the gas but nothing happened as cars speed up behind me. I merged over to the right lane to avoid causing an accident. While in this lane semi trucks quickly started to approach behind me and that's when I knew something was terrible wrong. I merged off the nearest exit for my safety. I found somewhere to park and turned off my vehicle. I restarted it and preceded to my destination without any problem. This same thing happened later that year. I did get my car diagnosis and discovered that it is the transmission but that company didn't have the equipment to due that repair. Recently, I went to Nissan dealership and got another diagnosis and they said it is the transmission which will cost $4000. I would imagine that my car would not have that type of problem within 4 years of ownership since this transmission was built by Nissan. I have researched and seen that I am not the only one who had this problems with this year model.
Driving on highway, 65-70 mph, ambient temp about 89 degrees, vehicle has no acceleration, slows to about 45 mph, high pitched whining noise. Manage to get off of highway, after slowing traffic and pull to side of highway. Turned car off, sat by side of highway for an hour plus, started car, turned around and made it home -- about 30 miles -- in about an hour and a half, due to re-occurrence of issue. No lights came on. No warning, just loss of acceleration and inability to keep up with traffic.
My 2013 Nissan Rogue loses power while driving and will only accelerate to twenty miles per hour doing this time. Today 06/17/2019 is the fourth episode. The first three happen while in cruise control driving uphill. I had to turn the car off and after 15 minutes or so it was drivable. However today it happened while driving on a normal flat freeway surface while in the hov lane. Traffic was light or this could have been a major issue. My wife and granddaughter were in the care with me. From my research, many owners or having or had this problem with their 2013 Nissan with the cvt transmission. Request someone checks and require Nissan to fix the problem(s).
The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. While driving at an unknown speed, the rpms increased from 500 to 600 and the vehicle decelerated independently. An independent mechanic inspected the vehicle and informed the contact to shift gears. When the contact did so, the vehicle was able to operate normally; however, the failure recurred six months later. The vehicle was taken to nelson Nissan (800 w queens St, broken arrow, ok 74012, (918) 258-9901) to be diagnosed, but the cause of the failure was undetermined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
At 60 to 70 mph RPM increases to 6,000 then car slow's down and stops. This is a life threatening situation. This has happened to many people. This car should be off the road now. Do your job!

After driving about an hour and a half in 90 degrees with air conditioner on, the rpms jolted upwards while my car began to decelerate. It felt like it popped out of gear and I was careening down the highway in neutral. I was able to get it to the side of the rode and let it set for a couple of hours. I then had to take back roads and drive under 50 mph with out air conditioner, but made it home. I brought it in to maplewood klein Nissan dealer and device. They did a diagnostic test and said there was an intermittent transmission problem. I needed a new transmission, at $4200, and the car only has 139000 miles. They told me to contact Nissan Consumer Affairs and file a complaint. They service department said this appears to be a common problem and Nissan company has been helping with repairs, anywhere between 30-70%. however, after several phone calls and emails, I was informed by the Consumer Affairs department they do not help customers with this issue if past the 60000 miles or 5 years. I asked how the other customers where able to get help, despite being past the warranty, and I was told Nissan was in no position to help me. I said it was dangerous T drive and the cvt should not be going out this soon. I also stressed that research shows many customers are experiencing the same issue and something is wrong with the transmission they put in the cars. I was told no help would be given, thank you for calling.
Takata recall; when you're driving on the interstate the car will decelerate rapidly and will not accelerate even if you press the gas pedal to the floor. The cvt transmission doesn't have an external cooler. If you run the air conditioning while going faster than 45 mph the car looses speed and power. There are a lot of other complaints about this issue on: M.carcomplaints.com/Nissan/Rogue/2013/transmission/loss_of_acceleration.shtml
My 2013 Nissan Rogue AWD loses acceleration on the highway. I live in a mountainous area and it appears to happen when accelerating up hill. It happens every time at between 65-75 mph. I will be accelerating up a hill at 70 mph and it will drop down to sometimes 50 mph even when pressing I'm the accelerator completely. It's very dangerous when semi trucks are passing you in the mountains going 10 under the speed limit. This is a major issue and Nissan should recall them immediately. I've heard of many other complaints across the globe with this model. My Rogue is only now at 57,000 miles. I noticed the issue at 50,000 miles. I am an excellent driver and I do not speed.
I own a 2013 Nissan Rogue with the cvt (continuous variable transmission). While driving along the highway the car looses the ability to accelerate, the engine begins to whine and the RPM shoot way up high. For example: While traveling 75 mph on the highway all of a sudden the card stops accelerating and as if you have taken you foot completely off the gas pedal you are now doing 60 mph, but in reality you gas pedal if pushed all the way to the floor. Nissan is selling defective vehicles in such a way that makes them prone to failure while the car is being driven. As a result, people are being injured and are afraid for their lives. Some are loosing their only source of traveling, which in turns costs them their job. The car does not overheat but when the weather is warmer, the problem is more common. If I am understanding correctly...the transmission fluid must cool down in order for the car to be able to accelerate normally. My 2013 Rogue originally had the above described problem in 2016 and Nissan covered the repair of the problem. Yesterday, 4/5/2019, marks the initial reoccurrence of the same problem with the car suddenly not being able to accelerate on the highway. Because my car has just under 120,000 miles on it, the dealership is claiming that it is no longer covered under warranty and that I am responsible for not only diagnosing the problem (for a fee) but also responsible for repairing the vehicle.

When driving at highway speeds the car suddenly loses power. My daughter is the primary driver is the vehicle and has had this happen several times. Now the dealer says the transmission is fine but I'd charging $1400 to replace the transmission cooler.

The transmission or power train fails after driving the vehicle for a few hours and long distances. My Nissan Rogue fails to push at normal desire speed and this is extremely dangerous when crossing intersections on busy oncoming traffic. The vehicle becomes sluggish and it becomes a danger to myself and traffic. I have spoken to Nissan about this problem but they do not want to help because my car has no more warranty and it has no check engine light on. I noticed problem since the first day I bought it and I told the dealership. The dealership took the vehicle to get it inspected but they said that their was not a problem. I took the car again and I spoke to Nissan and they said that because my vehicle was 62,000 miles they could not do anything since the warranty is only good for 60,000 miles. The car seems normal but it gets very sluggish after driving it for a few hours and that is dangerous when you cross traffic.

While in motion the vehicle lost power to move. There werent any dashboard lights present. Vehicle has pause in a fast food drive thru and after several attempts on accelerating there wasn't any movement.
At 75,000 miles the cvt needs to be replaced according to Nissan dealership. I am being told the transmission fluid is over heating and sent the car into recovery mode. This car is driven by my daughter to travel between lubbock, tx and capitan, nm for her second job as she is paying her way through Texas tech university. There is a technical bulletin (AT16-013 reference ntb16-090 for this issue. This particular car has had the cvt-a overheat 149 times, and the cvt-B overheat 75 times. Mileage on car is 75,306. The car puts itself into recovery mode not allowing any power and reducing speed as low as 5mph. This is extremely dangerous as my daughter us on a two lane 75mph highway. This has happened 4 times and been misdiagnosed as the maf sensor. I am being told if the car operates at over 65mph for longer than an hour and a half the transmission fluid overheats. Estimate given to replace unit is $4,635.52. If I do not repair it the car loses 75% of its value to try to trade it in. A case was open with Nissan Consumer Affairs division case #34122344. Nissan stated they were aware of the issues but no extended warranty or recall was given to this particular year of vehicle although there are for other years with same issues. I do not have the resources to fight this legally in court or to take this kind of financial loss on this vehicle. This is a real issue, someone is going to get killed on a highway when these vehicles go into recovery mode due to cvt issues!
The car will make noises from the cvt almost like metal on metal grinding around 2000 rpms I purchased the vehicle in July of 18nits only Dec and I still have to pay in the loan how is it fair that im paying for a car it's only 6 months into my loan and the car has all these issues" reading through this site sounds like it's the same issues and why is Nissan not being held accountable"
No acceleration but RPM's almost red line coming out of toll booth on Maine turnpike then quickly accelerates. Again at 70 mph in center lane barely able to get into brake down lane without any power. Very dangerous vehicle that's been well maintained.
My 2013 Nissan rouge slows down on highway a lot over the last few months but I never gave it any concern. But 2 weeks ago I started feeling a whinning computer slipping mild roar sound viberation from dash to drivers seat.the dealership the cvt transmission is gowing out.
