While driving on the highway to my new apt. I was traveling around 75mph (posted speed) when my car all of a sudden was no longer getting power. It dropped to 60 mph and was making a whining sound. I finally got off the highway but was stuck at a light with multiple cars behind me. I attempted to press the gas pedal to move but nothing was happening and I was flooring the gas pedal at some point. It finally moved but only 2mph. At that time traffic was coming and I had to drive on the shoulder just to get out of traffic's way. I stopped at a gas station, shut of the car and popped the hood, I smelled burning. I knew that wasn't right I just got the car 1.5 weeks ago with 79k miles just shy of 80k. It drove fine for another .26 miles when I had to pull over again and let it shut off for 30 min.

Called silver rock ( a warranty company) the dealership gave me and had me purchase and told them the issue. They found 4 mechanics near the area I was in and one didn't have a mechanic on site, just guys that can change oil (pep boys) and then brake masters who told me to go to tranny specialist and or a Nissan dealership. My bf and I had to drive back home and get his car so that I could be followed when heading to Nissan. While I was headed there again I lost acceleration and power which also caused my compressor to begin to fail. I am it sure if they hate commented but I was so upset. I've worked hard putting in tons of OT to buy the car and this happens. My car is now in the shop and they said it sounds like the valve. And the compressor was bad. Luckily the warranty will cover the fixing but I really want them to replace the tranny with a non CVT transmission.

The next day I got a call back saying they are getting a specialist to come look at it. I also contacted Nissan's corporate office as well as an attorney just in case they can't do anything or refuse to fix it. I mean I pay for the warranty so I really hope they pay for it all.

The rogue had been a dream of mine to have. Nice fuel efficient SUV that is perfect to move the kids around in but I refuse to let then even sit in it. I don't want anything happening to them and or myself.

I have read many if not 100s of complaints from others and I'm surprised Nissan has done nothing. The better business bureau will also be getting a call today. I mean 1-2 weeks to have my car? And without a guarantee that they won't out another CVT tranny in it? I've known many people with Nissan's and they love it. Just sad that all these issues aren't being taken care of in the way they should.

Please be safe everyone and if you buy a Nissan and it has a CVT motor, I would say replace it ASAP before you have an issue and within warranty. Just pray they put a non CVT motor in it.. in fine with feeling some shifting if that means getting a new tranny that is not a CVT.

I was driving on the highway back from the airport to my house which is about 40 miles, i was going 60-65 mph and all of a sudden I lost acceleration power, there was no check engine/dashboard lights that came on - it just wouldn't accelerate ON THE HIGHWAY. The RPMS went way up and was whining. So i pulled over called someone they said let it rest and try again - so I did, but this time I couldn't accelerate past 60 ish MPH and then the RPMS didn't even move. I did this for about an hour and half trying to get home. I called NIssan and they said there is no recall, and that my car isn't covered under the CVT warranty.

I am screwed. This is horrible that a company like this, isn't taking ownership of a vehicle - I will never buy Nissan again and I will spread the word to everyone I know and tell them the same.

Transmission lost power after an hour on the road on a warm July afternoon. I had to keep stopping to let it cool off. Finally made it to our destination and the vehicle got to rest for about 5 hours. Then the same problem happened on the way home. I took it to the dealer the next day and was told my extended warranty was 6 weeks expired and the vehicle needed to have the transmission replaced for $5,000. I am still paying for the vehicle and the extended warranty that is no longer in effect. I will be trading it in for anything that doesn't have a POS CVT transmission.

I purchased this car with 29 miles total on it brand new. I knew nothing about the CVT issues or we would have never purchased this piece of garbage. My son nearly nearly got creamed in this thing because of loss of power getting on the freeway. I took it to the local Nissan dealer thinking it would be fixed for free because of how many incidents and people this has happened to. Well I was wrong - it cost us 3600 to get a new tranny and it needs a few other things relating to the problem.

My AC went out after 19,000 miles - it should have been covered but Nissan gave the same lame ass excuse and I paid for that out of pocket. We use it now only for local runs - its basically our beater car now that looks brand new. I put a lot of mileage on it because I was an Outside Sales Manager for 6 counties in my area. The original number I typed in was wrong - it has 179,000 miles on it, the tranny went bad 3,000 miles out of warranty.

But with so many complaints you'd think it would be a major recall. There has been a lot of people seriously injured and killed due to the loss of power that happens, from what I found mostly getting on freeways. i will never buy another Nissan. We just purchased a Honda Accord V6 1 yr old and its awesome. My wife's Jeep commander has 129,000 on it and it runs like the day we purchased it. I know Nissan doesn't care if I ever buy from them but I bad mouth them every chance I get and word of mouth carries a long way. SO LONG NISSAN!

We purchased the car from a Nissan dealer as certified pre-owned in 2017. The car had approximately 55,000 miles at the time of purchase. We have taken the car in for all required periodic maintenance at the Nissan dealer. Our daughter was driving from the Bay Area to Seattle when the car failed to accelerate. Luckily she was not far from a Nissan dealership in Redding CA. The Service manager was nice enough to look at it the same day and we were told the transmission needed to be replaced to the tune of $4,500!

Of course the standard warranty ran out at 100K and we have 105K on the odometer. This seems outrageous as we purchased the car pre-owned and certified which should have ensured less problems with the car. Waiting to hear whether Nissan will cover the cost of the repairs :( From my search on the internet this seems like a common problem with this model of Rogue.

My daughter was on her way to Connecticut driving on the NJ Turnpike, however the vehicle was sluggish. She could not accelerate and go any faster than 50 mph. It was struggling. Off of the turnpike exit, she came to a red light, but the Rogue wouldn't move when the light turned green. Engine was running, but no acceleration whatsoever. She turn on her hazard lights, turned the vehicle off, and let it sit for a few minutes. She finally started the vehicle and pulled over in a parking lot. She let the vehicle cool off for about 15 minutes and then drove off. It appears the vehicle is driving better but still not 100%. She decided to not drive it to Connecticut and went back home instead. She didn't want to take chance driving it long distance. We plan on taking the vehicle to a mechanic; hopefully it's nothing serious.

Update from Sep 19, 2020: Well the torque converter is bad on the Rogue's CVT, which means the entire transmission needs to be replaced which is $3,600 plus tax. Is Nissan serious that the 2013 Rogue with the CVT isn't part of the problems with the other CVTs? They should have extended the warranty to 10 years or 120,000 miles on the 2013 Rogues. This is ridiculous!

The 2013 Nissan Rogue was a brand new purchase with only 12 miles on it. The transmission started acting funny at 60k miles with the pushing down on the gas. The meter would jerk up and down and the car would shake and stall. At the time I thought it was bad gas.

Then one weekend I went to take my car out of town on the highway and the car completely started acting funny at over 65 miles per hour. The engine light went on, it wouldn’t accelerate, shaking, the meter line would go up and down like it was trying to go at full speed but wouldn’t. Took it to the Nissan dealership and of course some part of transmission is bad and now have to replace the whole transmission.

$3800 dollars and my car has no warranty! Mechanics and the auto places all tell me these cars are notorious for bad transmissions. I’ve had this car for 7 years and at the rate of 15k average per year my car should be at 105,000 miles . My car has 86 K on it now and shouldn’t be having to get a new transmission! I am a single mom and that’s a lot of money to come up with. I have kept up with all of my routine checks and oil changes. I would like to get in contact with the lawyers for the class action lawsuit against Nissan but can’t seem to find out any contact information. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated .

I have a 2013 Nissan Rogue. I took it back into the dealership at 17,000 miles and they told me it is a “new type” of transmission, and it is just going to feel differently. Now my vehicle is over 100K and stalls when I try to take off, and RPMs will rev but car will not accelerate. It has become evident that this is now a danger to me and others on the road with me.

I recently took it to a Nissan dealership and they recommend that the CVT transmission be replaced, but stated nothing about any issues they have had with this transmission. Now I am being told it is going to cost be at least $6700 to replace the transmission

I live in Florida which is a very hot state. I have never had any acceleration issues with this vehicle until I moved here from California. What happens is when I take the vehicle on a long road trip on an Interstate. About an hour or 2 on the road, the vehicle begins to decelerate speed. With no light indicator or explanation. The gauges are status quo. No indicator light or anything turns on. I will be going at a speed of 75 or 80 due to the higher legal mile limit in the northern part of the state. Without warning, it decreases in speed. I can put the pedal to the floor and it still continues to slow down. There is no overheating fumes or smell at all. I literally have to pull over and wait until the engine cools down before returning onto the highway. I cannot go past 60 or 65 at that point as once I pull over, and wait, it won't allow me to accelerate beyond that speed any longer. This has now happened to me twice since I've lived here in Florida. I have no problem with this issue on an everyday basis. I can easily drive 40-50 miles if needed without issues at a speed of 75 or more. I have taken it to 2 mechanics who don't see any problem with the vehicle operating abnormally at all. I am afraid to take it on any road trip any longer for fear that I will have to contend with this on a regular basis. PLEASE HELP!!! I don't know where to go from here. Thank you!!!

My daughter was driving her 2013 Rogue this weekend and when she tried to accelerate after stopping at a red light the car wouldn't move. Luckily she was right near a advance auto parts that coded "torque converter clutch circuit intermittent microcuts" and sent her to a transmission place that told her to come home. On the way home her check engine light came on. She stopped at another advanced auto parts who reset that light. We took it to a shop and she needs a new transmission. The car only has 82K miles on it. My daughter is in high school. I work at a church part time. Neither of us have $3742 plus tax for a new transmission. I read there are lots of other cars with this same issue. I'm hoping to find someone who will rebuild it cheaper.

Investigators review each complaint and, if warranted, the Office of Defects Investigation will open an inquiry to determine if a safety defect trend exists; you might be contacted by an investigator to clarify the information submitted. Please make a complaint to get a recall on these unsafe cars.

PLEASE DON'T EVER BUY THIS CAR!!!!!! I know that if you're on this website, you already bought this car and you're now having issues. But just in case you haven't....PLEASE DON'T BUY THIS CAR!!!!! that's more for you than it is for me. This car will lose acceleration, without any warning sign. You'll take it to your mechanic and he'll say it's a recall on this car. Then you;ll take it to Nissan dealership and they will say, there's no recall. Meanwhile you'll continue to put your life in danger and have issues with this car after driving for over an hour. I had one mechanic tell me that I have to keep a full tank of gas, I do and I still have the problem. Another mechanic told me that it's the fuel injection, I had it replaced, still a problem. Another mechanic told me that it can't be the transmission because it's not enough miles on it. I've gotten different stories from different mechanics and nothing is working. I don't want to go into debt when I'm just trying to maintain and get to work. WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T BUY THIS CAR!!!!

After having my vehicle for about 2 years. I was dropping my brother off at college in Franklin, Massachusetts. I got off the highway exit and stopped at the red light. I proceeded to accelerate when the light turned green and my 2013 Rogue would not move. I shut it off and turned it back on and we were able to make it to the school. Got him setup and a few hours later proceeded to head home to NJ. Got on the highway and we see a puff of smoke behind us on the highway. I pulled over and shut the vehicle off. Luckily I had family in Springfield, Massachusetts which is about an hour away. We took our time driving to Springfield. My cousin took us to her mechanic, his machine wasn't getting a read of any codes. The mechanic took my vehicle for a drive to see what I was saying regarding the vehicle driving sluggish; he agreed the vehicle drove sluggish. He advised me to park my vehicle let it completely cool down and take my time driving home to NJ. I was able to make it back home and luckily I already had an appointment setup with Nissan. I dropped off my vehicle, couple days late I was told I needed a new transmission and it would cost me about $5,000. I made a stink, we checked and saw that I had the extended warranty and that is how I was able to get a new transmission.

On my way home from work and going up a hill my vehicle is doing a jerky motion like it's struggling to go up the hill. Get down the hill and about to make a turn, I get caught at the red light. Light turns green and my vehicle will not move. Engine is running, but no acceleration whatsoever. I turn on my hazard lights,.turn the vehicle off and let it sit for a few seconds, I finally got it to slowly move (stuck in the middle of the intersection and everyone honking), I finally got the vehicle to complete the left turn. I crawled a little ways down the round approaching the entrance for the Route 280 entrance. I smelled like something was burning so I pulled over and called AAA for a tow. Towed it to a local shop by my house and waited to hear from the mechanic the following day. Mechanic did checks, said he found nothing wrong. My vehicle was driving OK now, so I called Nissan and brought my vehicle there the following day. Nissan called and told me I needed a new transmission and I was furious. After communicating with Nissan Corporate and the dealership, a week later I end up paying almost $5,000 to get a new transmission. Nissan will never get me to by another vehicle from them as long as I live. When you pay over $30,000 for a vehicle, you expect to get your moneys worth. I have spent the most for maintenance and had the most problems with my 2013 Rogue than any vehicle I have ever owned. Worst experience in my life. Replacing 2 transmissions within 3 years of each other and my vehicle is parked majority of the time now that my brothers graduated from college last year.

I was on the highway going to Orlando. As I attempted to accelerate in speed Noticed the air conditioner was not cooling. As I continued to drive the vehicle would not accelerate. It smelled like something was burning and began to smoke the more I stepped on the gas. I pulled off an exit with my grandchildren in a hot overheated vehicle; 7 & 9 years old and 2 month old. The following week my vehicle was towed to Wesley Chapel Nissan.

I was told AWGS had to come and inspect the vehicle. The claim was denied on 5/20/19 due to the transmission not being found defective. The cost to repair would be $1245 to replace a transmission oil cooler. AWGS would not cover because “it is an external part”. Nissan should be responsible for this problem. It is happening too often. I will never be another Nissan. I was told by another Nissan dealer that it may not be the problem. It could be bigger or smaller.

The more I read about the same transmission issues Nissan just refuse to be accountable for screwing up. I was even told by another dealer that the transmission cooler is not sold separate. The entire transmission needs replacing.😡😡😡😡NEVER PURCHASE NISSAN

Bought 2013 Rogue 3 years ago. In March took a 4 hour trip and the transmission mission started to slip (thought it was just my wife's driving). On our way home that night started doing it again this time while doing 75 down the freeway. Took it in to the dealership where the told me the transmission over heated and that my transmission fluid was red which is not cvt fluid. Contacted Nissan where they told me my warranty was being voided. So I went to 3 different transmission specialist where the pulled little fluid and showed me it had no red color but was green. I sent that picture in to Nissan where they reinstated my warranty but I had to have the fluid tested by there lab they use to make sure fluid was the right one with out contamination. So had that done. The fluid was green when they pulled it for the test. The test came back as NS3 fluid which is blue and not NS2 fluid which is green like I have in my rogue. In the report it even stated the fluid most likely has not been changed (being new to cvt transmission did not know needed fluid changed so often). Nissan will not honor there warranty now and will not respond to my emails with proof of it being the right fluid. Nissan customer service is the worst to deal with.

The vehicle stopped accelerating while traveling long distances on the highway. This occurred at least 15 times before I was able to afford to take back to the dealership. It left me and my small child stranded in the middle of nowhere in over 100 degree heat. No lights inside the vehicle ever came on and there was no indication that the transmission was overheating. After taking the vehicle in I was told that the warranty would cover the replacement of the transmission but the vehicle lacks a transmission fluid cooler that was not covered under warranty because it was a part added after manufacturing. They told me the part costs approximately $1,000 and that price did not include labor charges. The employee of the Nissan dealership stated he did not know how this vehicle’s transmission did not have a recall due to the number of problems and number of these transmissions they have had to replace due to this problem. I searched for this part from companies outside of Nissan and was unable to locate it. It is only available from a Nissan dealer. II became disabled shortly before this problem began and I cannot afford to repair the vehicle. I live in an area that always has temperatures over 100 degrees and am scared to drive this unreliable car due to the fear of breaking down again. I recommend no one ever purchase a Nissan and I will be selling this vehicle as soon as possible.
