After driving on the highway for about 70 miles or 1 hr I lost complete acceleration although cruise control was engaged. I disengaged cruise but was not able to accelerate. I pulled off the highway, and coasted to a safe spot. I shut the car off for a bit and then it resumed normal driving. This occurred on multiple occasions during my trip from West palm to orlando and on the return trip.
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.
While traveling to orlando Florida on Sunday 05/27/2019, my vehicle stopped accelerating on the highway. The more I pressed the gas pedal the slower my vehicle became. By the grace of god an 18 wheeler truck saw my distress and guided me 1 mile to the exit on I-75 South. My car dropped down to 20 mph. This was the most traumatic experience. I was stranded from 6 pm Sunday until 6:30 am the next morning where I was then able to get my vehicle msu ran errands company to tow me 113 miles to my nephew's home in brayselton Georgia where we took the vehicle to a Nissan dealership in buford Georgia. They ran a diagnostic check to find out my transmission was gone. I never had an indication this was going out and now the price to replace this transmission is well over $5,000. I am over 400 miles away from my vehicle and don't know how I will get my vehicle fixed. Dealership told me that since I am not going to get it fixed by them I need to come get it due to them not having room to store it until I can figure out what to do. The warranty only lasted for 60,000 miles or 5 years which ever came 2st. Why can't the warranty on such an expensive part be given a 100,000 mile warranty? people such as myself riding along going about their everyday business ot knowing the vehicle they purchased can literally be a death trap. This is so not right to have to come up with a large amount of cash for such a huge repair and still have a car note to pay. I would like for Nissan to go online and read the reviews of their product, stand by these people and stand by he product. It should not have to wait until someone loose their life to dig deep into seeing the problem.
Car did not accelerate when I pressed the accelerator pedal while I was driving on the highway after about 2 hours driving. This happened with no apparent reason and without any warning. It was very dangerous as I was driving on the left lane and had to cross for lanes in order to stop on the side. Several minutes later, after letting the car to rest, the malfunction indicator light was turned on. After few more minutes the accelerator pedal returned working.

While driving with cruise control on at apprx. 70 mph, car began to slow down dramatically to about 35 miles per hour, despite efforts to accelerate. Pushed gas pedal to the floor to no avail. Trucks had to swerve around me as I attempted to get in right hand lane and pull over. This has happened on several occasions. Sound like the transmission is racing (quite noisy) have to stop turn car completely off and wait. Cannot use cruise control as it is dangerous.
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 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.
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.
Takara recall - while driving on freeway at 70 mph on the freeway, vehicle stopped accelerating and I was forced to pull over. The vehicle then shut itself off. After a few minutes I was able to restart my car but it would only accelerate slowly up to 20 mph. My car did get up to 55 mph finally but I was not able to return to my selected route home. Was forced to drive with hazards on by way of a country highway only.
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.
When I drive my 2013 Nissan Rogue for over an hour the transmission switches to safety mode and reduces the speed in the vehicle. Once it cools down it drivea normal. Tjis has put me in very dangerous situations while driving on the highway. Did all of uts scheduled maintenance and also paid dealership extra for a cvt transmission evaluation. They said the transmission is faulty. Very dangerous to loose power while driving.
Loss of acceleration due to overheated transmission; my 2013 Nissan Rogue with 66,000 miles on it started to lose acceleration on a major interstate (65mph to 30mph). I took it to my local dealership and they told me that this is a common problem with Rogues, and that my transmission fluid was basically getting so hot it was boiling and had caused major damage to my valve body. I had to replace the valve body and put in an external coolant system which cost $2700. The repairs were not covered by Nissan as my transmission warranty was only up to 60,000 miles, however this is a serious manufacturing issue that needs to be addressed by Nissan.
Beginning in November of 2017, acceleration began to have issues. When accelerating, the car would drag and hesitate before fully dropping into gear. All other components worked fine. I would allow the car to heat up 10-15 minutes in the morning and that did not help. Shortly after, each time I step on the gas, the engine revs tremendously despite the slightest acceleration. The pin will not move then move quickly causing a grinding/buzzing sound between 2K & 3K before feeling like it drops I tom gear, even at 15-25mph. This problem continues, but the cause can no to be diagnosed. In January of 2018, the warning lights on the dashboard came on and the car lost acceleration. Upon taking it to the mechanic, I was told everything tested fine, the software simply needed to be reset. After resetting, the light has not returned, but the acceleration issue has not changed. In March of 2018 after experiencing another abrupt slow-down on a side street, I parked the car and smelled a burning of some type of fluid upon getting out of the car. Once the initial smell dispersed, no sign of damage, leaking, or other issue was present. In April of 2018, no further acceleration issues have occurred, but the warning lights again came on. Again, nothing was diagnosed, it was said there was some type of software issue and simply needed to be reset again. Shortly after, the ac unit completely stopped working. I turned off the car, restarted and the system came back on, but no matter what blows out hot air which is hotter often than if the heat is turned on full blast. The car has been well maintained and undergone regularly schedule maintenance and has 84K miles. My mechanic ran the VIN and there's were no open recalls, however, the car was just diagnosed with an 'electrical issue.'
I was driving on IH10, in houston at 60-65mph, 6 lanes. Had driven 10-15 mile, car started trembling at steerring, did not feel in control of staying in my lane. Eased accelerator, tried again, felt same shimmy, unsafe. Easied to 1st exit, asap. 1st auto shop on campbell rd. Drove it, felt it was axle problem, but couldnt get it on lift til Monday. 2nd repair -silber auto service diagnosed same, got on lift within hour. Replaced next 2 days. I left, got rental, back home to nb, tx. Tuesday shop said it did not correct problem. Had it towed home by family Thursday, nb Nissan inspected Friday. 29,000 miles on auto, out of 5yr warranty. 'cannot duplicate concern" I do not feel safe driving Nissan at this time. I had gone to be with 93yr dad heights hospital w fractured lt hip, stayed 2 nites in hospital, started home to work 2 weekend shifts as pedi hh nurse on good Friday. I was prepared to keep auto for at least another 4-5 yr, as I am in late 60's. very disappointed w Nissan, this my 2nd Nissan. Havee read other people with same concerns with same type vehicle. Was hoping they would correct the unsafe " concern". will not trade into Nissan, but must take care of my own life/safety. Have taken good care of Nissan with oil changes, tire rotation, new battery, X2 new tires out of unrepairable flat, torn windshield rubber molding, flapping uncalled for on highway on previous trip to houston. Same nb Nissan repaired on my return. I had 22,000 miles then, last year. Nissan usa was unhelpful, unsynpathetic, I feel its just $$ & business as usual for auto industry. Thats what they do, pitiful.
Loss of ability to accelerate. Transmission will go into fail safe mode after approximately 20 minutes of driving regardless of weather, or town or hwy driving. It has left me with be able to go 40 mph or less on the highway. Will not accelerate after stopping and when it does the rmps will be up near 4000 just to go 10-15 mph. On 3/31/2018 I had to be escorted off the hwy by chp because I couldn't keep up with traffic. This is not the first time is has happen. It occurs just about everyday. I have checked all my fluids there are no lights on my dash.
My Nissan Rogue will suddenly lose the ability to accelerate. This has happened attempting to accelerate from a complete stop, while the car is moving, etc. It has happened on hills and flat surfaces. This is a very dangerous problem, as it has also happened mid turn and on train tracks. I took it in for service, and the dealer stated there was no problem when there clearly is. My own research has shown this is a known problem with Nissan, and is an issue with the cvt. I have complained to corporate and the dealer I took it into.
I was driving on a major highway and all of a sudden I loss power, the car never turned off but as I pressed on the gas pedal it wouldn't accelerate so I had to coast from the left lane all the way to the right lane to get to the emergency lane. Mind you there is oncoming traffic blowing there horn because of course I'm clearly not going the speed limit on the highway. I had to call a tow truck to take me to the closest Nissan dealership which I'm not familiar with because I'm out of town. But once I get there they tell me my transmission is out and I need a new one. I bought this car in 2013 brand new I'm the only driver and my transmission goes out in 2017. I still don't believe it's my transmission but who am I to argue but I have to put up $4,200 and I'm still paying on this vehicle!!! I should have went with my first mind and got my Cadillac. I will be trading this Nissan Rogue in and inform everyone I know not to purchase a Nissan at all. My warranty doesn't cover a thing, wow!!! I've had 2 other mechanics look at and they say it could be my sensors because my speedometer still moves when you give it gas and if it sits a while it will go forward and backward but not for over a mile or two. I really wasted my money on this vehicle.
If you have a sustained speed of over 40 mph for 30 minutes or more the car will stop accelerating. M.carcomplaints.com/Nissan/Rogue/2013/ shown on the link this is very common and very dangerous. The Rogue is expected to be a reasonably priced safe car and no one should expect a $4,500 repair (20% of the purchase price) at 45,000 miles. Nissan knows of this common problem and has chosen to ignore it.
There is a known default with the year and make of vehicle I own, yet Nissan has failed to issue a recall, even though it could result in death. When driving the vehicle for 1.5 hours or more at speeds of 65 mph or greater, the transmission overheats, and causes you to lose acceleration and power. I lost power on the parkway, was unable to move from the right lane, I couldn't even make it to the shoulder before losing all ability to accelerate my vehicle. Nissan recommends adding an external part to the transmission to cool the transmission fluid, but the part is more than $700. I would think that this issue would be very similar to the issue with the Chrysler ignition switches. If I am driving my car 70 mph or more on the interstate, and suddenly lose power, I am likely going to get hit, and if the other vehicles are traveling 70 mph or more, that is going to cause very serious injuries at the very least. There are many, many complaints about this known issue on Nissan forums.
