When driving in the summer heat and going up a hill or for a long period of time, the car starts to slow down, even if you push the gas pedal all the way to the floor. It is scary when you are needing to turn out into an intersection for instance, because you can't move the car out of the way quickly enough, which a person could be hit by other oncoming cars. I was never told that the car has this problem and after the first time that it happened to me, I took it into a Nissan dealership and they said that problem is common with the 2013 Rogues. So after learning that, I have gone online and found there are several people who have the same problem with their Rogues. I would have liked to know that was a common problem with that car. I wouldn't have bought it had I known.
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.
The 2013 Nissan Rogue was stationary in a parking lot and caught on fire a few minutes after the engine was turned off. The vehicle only had about 77,000 miles on it when this happened. The vehicle was looked at by an engineering company and suggested that the fire was caused in the engine area.
My car engine light came on and the light made like a car with tire tracks behind it and got it tow because it wouldn't crank, and had a diagnostic test and it showed a problem with ECM
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.

Car won't turn on randomly. We have replaced the battery five times. Each time the car randomly stops working every few thousand miles. The car will take ten or eleven tries to start. This is extremely dangerous. If for any reason we ever needed to leave the car cannot start quickly. It happens randomly, not all the time (sometimes it starts fine after one turn, the next time it could take five minutes to finally start, then go back to fine). No one has been able to tell us what is the cause of this defect.
Nissian Rogue 2013 looses transmission power climbing up low/medium/high grades (city and freeway). From town driving to city to long distance traveling any sort of grade. My 2013 Nissan Rogue went from 65 mph to 10 mph going up the "grapevine" on hwy 5 in California. My foot was all the way floored and my car would not go past 10 mph! large big rig trucks were honking at me in the slow lane and almost rear-ended me (trucks could not change lanes into the middle lanes due to traffic)!! as I slowly crept up the steep grade (from bakersfield, ca to los angeles, ca) and then descended, my car began to pick up speed again. Car was not overheated, no unusual noises, smoke, or warning lights. Took car into Nissan service center in san diego. Luckily, I purchased an extended warranty and they serviced my transmission. They reported to me that this is a "known problem with the 2013 Rogues." "many transmissions have had to be replaced in the Nissan 2013 Rogues due to loss of acceleration power, whether city or freeway driving."! I was extremely scared at the immediate loss of power in my vehicle as I tried to accelerate on the grade while big rigs were coming very close to my car! this is a serious problem and can cause fatalities!! big rig trucks cannot slow down instantly and if they are behind a Nissan Rogue that looses acceleration power!! this is a family vehicle and it is very scary to think about the loss of life because Nissan was negligent in recalling known transmission problems. I've researched similar situations as what I experienced in my own 2013 Nissan Rogue and there are many documented complaints, multiple transmission replacements in vehicles less than 5 years old, and yet the problem continues!
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.
I was driving for about 40 minutes uphill on a freeway when my 2013 Nissan Rogue started to lose speed. First I couldn't accelerate more than 60mph, then 45mph. I had to be towed home and was told I need a new transmission. After reading so many similar complaints, I am convinced this should be investigated and recalled.
The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. While driving 65 mph on the highway, the vehicle shut off. The contact stated that the speed reduced to 20 mph as the vehicle was being pulled off to the shoulder. The vehicle would restart, but shut off again even with the cruise control activated. The vehicle was able to be restarted and was slowly driven home. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who stated that the transmission failed. The dealer (abeloff Nissan, 3259 pa-611, bartonsville, pa 18321, (877) 715-4935) stated that there was no failure with the vehicle. After the vehicle left the dealer, the check engine indicator illuminated. The independent mechanic confirmed the transmission failure, but the dealer insisted that there was no failure and sent the contact a computer printout to back up their opinion. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 92,300. Consumer stated car makes noise once in awhile when she steps on the gas pedal. Updated 11/21/18jb
Cvt transmission/automatic transmission problems: The entire transmission had to be replaced as it stopped working completely in the middle of the street. While in motion. After researching online, the #1 problem for 2013 Nissan Rogues is this exact issue. These transmissions were build poorly.
Cvt transmission died while on the highway. Three different times this happened to me in the highway going at 75 mph and lost complete acceleration with the gas pedal depressed all the way. My rpms went up to 8000 this last time. Rosen Nissan in madison did the diagnostic on it on the Thursday prior to my departure on my trip, and said that all that needed to be done was transmission fluid replaced. Apparently there wasn't anything wrong with it in the first place. Prior to my having this all done I had researched why my car would stop accelerating completely and the reasons were due to the cvt transmission which had been recalled in a number of Rogues and murano and versa's. many had to have their transmissions replaced and they extended the warranties on some of the models to 120K/10 yr. Mine wasn't! tell me why a car with 110K that's 5 yrs old would all of a sudden die if there's not something wrong with the actual reliability of the way the transmission was built in the first place? going in circles with Nissan they're denying anything wrong on their end and won't replace something that clearly a lot of issues have been reported with this transmission!! someone please make Nissan accountable!
The car started de accelerating as I drove. Going from 70 to 45. It wouldn't pick up speed as I pulled off an exit to get to a gas station. I live in atlanta and took a trip to savannah. It did this the whole way down and back. I've only had car since Feb 2016. It has roughly 102000 miles and some change
Fuel tank needle stays either full or empty no matter how much fuel in the tank. The check engine light stays on. Diagnosis shows faulty fuel level sensor
The cvt belt causes the car to stall out while in driving conditions. While driving and pull up to a stop while the car is at normal operating temperature the car will stall and won't take off. Some intersections I have approached have almost caused accidents so to this problem. I fear for my family and the other drivers on the road due to this problem.
I was driving in Arizona on a highway in my 2013 Nissan Rogue. The vehicle has 54,000 miles. The speed limit was 75 mph. Suddenly the vehicle would not let me accelerate, the rmps would not let me go past 2500. I was driving in the left lane on a two lane highway and could not pull over due to other traffic. The temperature gauge was not even half way. No service or engine lights engaged. Kicked the car out of cruise control and couldn't turn the air conditioning on. This has happened a few times in the past. The 2013 does not have the extended warranty for the transmission so Nissan continuously tells me they cannot help me.
If car is in drive but stationary (like in a traffic light), the engine starts to vibrate substantially forcing the driver to shift to neutral. By doing the above the car can move backward impacting other vehicles, cars etc.
The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. While driving at unknown speeds for over an hour, the vehicle lost power and stalled. Also, the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to hoffman Nissan (46 albany turnpike, canton, ct 06019, (860) 651-3256) where it was diagnosed that the transmission oil was not cooling. In addition, the transmission needed to be replaced and an air cooler needed to be installed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer opened case number: 31451265 and offered to cover fifty percent of the repair cost. The failure mileage was 60,000. The VIN was not available.
Driving over mountain pass from denver to sliverthorn I lose power and can not get speed above 45mps and dropping. Driving denver to capser engine over heats and stalls at overpass with no power to drive for 10 min until engine cooled down. Driving from jackson hole to landers car stalled on hwy and had to be shut down for 15 min to cool before could drive. Engine is till running at these times but no power or drive and seems like engine is overheating. Is safty hazord on road because it will stall out with no notice and no way to even get power to move off of road if come to complete stop after 2-3 hr drive and stop at light. Seems to be worse durring summer months when it is hotter outside (like last week driving over eisenhouer pass/tunnel) that it does driving the same road in winter. Thought there was a recall for this already and niassan was working on it in hotter areas like tx first then then getting to other regions but is also effecting driving here in co. Date it has happened are several 08/25/2014 (casper overpass) 09/10/2015 (landers wy on hwy) 05/18/18 on I-70 going up eisenhower pass/tunnel no power made it to town and stopped to eat to give time to cool off but with they way the car has prefomed in past and was losing power if mps would have gotten to 20mps and I would have stopped car would have been stalled at least 15 min on the road. The only thing I hate about the Rogue is loss of power and overheating. Please F/U with manufacture to check into engine overheating. I know my sister also owned one that had to have heat sensor placed on engine to help with overheating on one side and here model was also a Rogue close to same year. Needs to be investigated before someone loses power and gets hit on hwy. 2014 hwy speed 70-75 45000. May 2018 65mps before pass and dropping to 40-45 on pass. Landers 65mps 2014 55000, 2018 mtn 96000
