I was driving from bloomington ca to phoenix AZ.. as I approached an incline on interstate 10 the vehicle began to climb the grade it suddenly began to loose speed and power. A whirring noise was comeing from the engine /transmission compartment. The vehicle quickly began to loose power and speed. It quickly went from 70 mph to about 10 mph. I luckily reached the top of the grade and pulled over to the side of the road. I could not pull over earlier because large semi-trucks were having to go around me. This caused a very dangerous situation since it is only a two lane highway and I was impeding traffic. When I pulled over I shut the engine off and opened the hood to see if there was some obvious reason for the problem. There was not.I let the engine cool a liitle then proceeded on to see if I could make it to my destination. I proceeded at a low speed until I got to to my destination. I had noticed in the past some issues with climbing inclines but never to the extent experienced presently. I went to the dealer in AZ and was toldit was the transmission and was probably caused by transmission overheating. Since the trip was only a couple of days I will have to try to make it home as is.
Air bags light on indicating they are not operational. Transmition problems when in drive and the vehicle is stop. Inmense trembling of the vehicle when in such conditions such as stopping in a traffic light in any road.
When I am driving the vehicle the transmission will shut off and it will no longer accelerate. It slowes the vehicle and I was almost hit twice because the vehicle qould no longer accelerate.
After having a transmission fail in April 2017 and having it replaced by the Nissan dealer in Colorado springs, Colorado, I was shocked when my 2013 Rogue losing speed and refusing to accelerate a year later. I was driving to my parents about an hour away doing about 55mph. About 40 minutes into my trip my car would not accelerate and was quickly losing speed. I managed to limp it to my parents, already knowing what was happening. This is the second transmission in a vehicle that now has only 112,000 miles on it. If I were to replace it would be 3 transmissionsin 5 years for the car. Nissan North America is not willing to help, but seems to know this is happening to numerous people. They knew it years ago but did not change the transmission, instead continues to install the cvt transmission and make money when their products fail and we have to replace and repair.
While driving highway speeds on Colorado mountain passes, the vehicle transmission failed and would not accelerate. This put me in a very dangerous position with the other traffic on the road going 55mph and my car not going faster than 20mph. I took it to woodmen Nissan in Colorado springs, Colorado where I was told there were metal shavings in the transmission pan, and it needed replaced. I had purchased an extra insurance plan for repairs with the car in April of 2015, the car had 29,000 when purchased from modern classic motors in grand junction, Colorado. I used this insurance to have the transmission replaced by woodmen Nissan in April 2017.

I have a 2013 Nissan Rogue. I have had it a little over a year and at right below 60K miles it started acting funny. At first it was like it was having problems shifting while on the highway. Wasn't constant but here and there. I took it in to a mechanic an they said there was nothing wrong. I kept driving it. Later on it started to jump on flat roads, took it to the dealership still nothing wrong with it. I then was having trouble going up hills, an eventually I would loose speed an couldn't go anywhere. I had to park on the side of the road or highway and wait 20 minutes, then my car would be fine again, until the next big hill. I brought it a Nissan dealership they said I needed my transmission fluid changed so I paid the $200 an had it changed or flushed or whatever it is that they do. I still had problems to the point where now my car is not moving. I brought it back an the Nissan dealership now said that I had multiple problems with my transmission an it was going to be very expensive to fix, that I should just replace it. But why? my car is 5 years old an has less then 60K miles on it. Ive heard plenty of stoires of Rogues doing this, I feel like there should be a recall of some sort.
The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road and had it towed home. The vehicle was later taken to autocom Nissan of concord (1290 concord ave, concord, ca 94520, (925) 275-534) where it was diagnosed that the continuously variable transmission overheated and a newer model transmission was needed that had a cooling kit. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and opened a case number. The approximate failure mileage was 70,800.
I was travelling on the highway up a long incline when the accelerator pedal stopped working and the car began to decelerate. I was able to pull of the road. I turned the car off, then restarted it and tried to go and the accelerator pedal would not engage. There were no hazard lights illuminated and car temperature was fine. Approximately 15 minutes the car star working normally and I got back on the highway. The car drove okay for a while but on the next big hill the accelerator failed again, this time the cvt (transmission) indicator light came on. After waiting another 15 minutes, the car was still not safe to drive at highway speeds, the accelerator was sluggish and unreliable. I was able to get home by driving slowly on back roads, but will not be able to safely drive it again until this issue is resolved.
I had just purchased this vehicle from a Ford dealership nine months previously. We were leaving for a family vacation from South Dakota to Colorado. Just before denver, my Nissan Rogue lost power, I would have the accelerator to the floor trying to maneuver through denver traffic. We had a close call with an eighteen wheeler whom was trying to merge into traffic and my car would not accelerate to get out of his way. After arriving in Colorado springs and finding a Nissan dealer who would look at it and researching the problems of other owners with the same car, we were without a car for 2 of the 5 days of our vacation, which was a real bummer for our family. Over $3500 later (thank god I had enough credit on my credit card), after installing a cooler for the transmission and replacing the valve body we were able to get back home. Now I have a high interest credit card balance to pay that off. I am really stressed financially I cannot afford this and after reading other complaints that are identical, I also think I got overcharged by Nissan dealer in Colorado by over $1000. It ruined our vacation which are few and far between. To make matters worse every other year model of this vehicle was recalled for this problem. This 2013 has the same problems and it is extremely dangerous. I feel I should be reimbursed for this expense and time taken from my family. Thank you.
The vehicle is in motion and on highway or higher speed situations-the vehicle will not accelerate. The gas pedal is pushed all the way to the floor and the car does not accelerate but actually decelerates further. If traffic slows and the driver removes a foot from the acceleration pedal to slow a bit, speed cannot be regained and the car is left at a very slow speed in high speed traffic creating a safety risk. The car has been diagnosed with a need for a costly add on part (cvt cooler kit) to prevent the transmission from overheating and going into limp mode. This is a known problem that was occurring in our 2009 Nissan Rogue model and acknowledged by Nissan and repaired under extended warranty. They are denying repair to our 2013 Nissan Rogue for the exact same problem which we had hoped to have been corrected prior to purchase of the 2013 model. This a high risk safety issue with no acceleration power in high speed settings as well as other situations. The car cannot be driven without danger to our lives or extreme risk for being in or causing an accident.
Deacceleration while driving mainly long trips. We first noticed 2 months ago. No recall was ever sent to us. My original warranty is over now.this is unsafe and worrisome, we can not afford to fix it.
We were driving on I-70 in central ks, in heavy traffic, at a speed of 75mph, when the cruise control shut off, and the car slowed to 60mph with no warning, no check engine light, or anything. I was able to maintain the 60 mph with the gas pedal to the floor. Other drivers and semis were swerving and dodging us, there was no safe place to get off of the road. My wife, son and granddaughter were all in the car, and we were all afraid of being hit by an any driver who didn't happen to realize that we were not going the speed limit. We limped the car to the Nissan dealer in salina, ks who told us that the transmission had overheated, because Nissan did not install a transmission cooler, and the valve body had burnt up. The dealer told us it is a common problem and Nissan knows about it. The cost to repair the vehicle is $2700. We contacted Nissan, and were told essentially, it's yours, too bad. You bought it with 73000 miles on it, and it is out of warranty. We have only owned the car for 5 weeks. I feel this was a dangerous situation, and we could have easily been in a serious accident due to the failure of the transmission's valve body. What is most concerning is Nissan knows about it and is refusing to assist in the repair of the vehicle, or even admit that it has problems. Since the incident, I have found many reviews of this vehicle where the reviewer had the same problem (10 on edmunds.com, alone!)
The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. While driving 75 mph, the vehicle lost power and slowed down to 30 mph. The vehicle was pulled off the freeway where the contact waited briefly. Upon restarting the vehicle, it drove with full power. The contact stated that the vehicle lost power several times before on long trips while driving uphill on the freeway. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (antelope valley Nissan, 451 auto center dr, palmdale, ca 93551, (661) 274-4700) where it was acknowledged that this was a known issue with Nissan Rogues. The contact stated that the power would reduce due to cvt fluid temperature protection logic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and offered a small deduction towards the repair cost. The contact stated that the warranty expired at 60,000 miles and he inquired about any repairs to be done and a check-up prior to the warranty expiration. The failure mileage was 60,000. *
I took my car to the dealership on June 17, 2016 because as I was driving, the car would not go over 80 mph, and the pedal was to floor. There was also a whistling sound anytime that I accelerated. At that time, the car had 50,616 miles on it, and was still under warranty. They flushed my transmission and replaced the fluid. I paid $210.23 for this service, which I now realize that I should not have had to pay anything, since the transmission was still under warranty, and this is a known defect. I am again having the same problems, I was driving and my car would not go above 60 mph, and the whistling sound when accelerating has returned. The needle also jumps when initially accelerating. I took it back to the same dealership, and they told me that I need a new transmission and cooling unit. They quoted me $6,000 for the repair. The car now has 107,846 miles on it. I inquired about Nissan extending the warranty to 120K miles because of all of the issues that they are having with the cvt transmissions. I was told that my car was not included in the extended warranty, even though it is having the exact same problem as all the other defective transmissions. This is a known issue with Nissan cvt transmissions, I get regular maintenance at the dealership, and the car was new when I purchased it. I was instructed to stop driving the car until it is repaired, as it is a safety hazard.
Cvt transmission was the issue all along I bought my 2013 in December of 2017 had it for a few weeks and the engine lights comes on. Call the place where I got it to tell them I was bringing back. Then next day it was gone off. February it came back on had my mechanic look at it couldn't find anything wrong. A few weeks more I noticed it was hesitanting but it stopped quickly. 3 weeks ago the engine light came back on my mechanic said it's the motor mount sensor I replaced it. A month before this my car wouldn't go into park so I replaced the shift gear. Both shift gear and motor sensor valve costing around 800.driving to Iowa on the highway my car struggled going up steep roads making it very dangerous in front of 18 wheeler trucks. Now the engine light back on went to my mechanic and a transmission specialist and they said it's the cvt transmission. I've had this vehicle 6 months Nissan you need to do a recall on 2013 Rogue with these cvt transmissions people buy vehicles trusting they will have for awhile. I'm paying a note on this car for another 4 years and don't know what I'm going to do Nissan assist your consumers with this problem
I was driving on the highway on a trip out of town when my car began decelerating and would not accelerate. I immediately took it to Nissan where they advised I needed a new transmission for $4200. My car only had $94,000 miles and I've never missed a service through Nissan. The experience was incredibly scary and has caused me anxiety.
Multiple cvt failures while driving at highway speeds causing near collision. Cvt total failures requiring replace of cvt (25,000 mi) and valve body and manifold (~60,000). Manufacturing defect still exists in Nissan cvt but warranty extension only exist for older models. "2003-2010 vehicles equipped with a continuously variable transmission (cvt) also have a 10-year /120,000 mile cvt limited warranty extension." Blatantly obvious the problem remains in the cvt causing loss of acceleration at highway speeds.
