2013 Nissan Rogue

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD WHINING NOISE WHILE ACCELERATING. THE DEALER (CANNON NISSAN IN JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVING FROM YUMA TO SAN DIEGO DOING 70 TO 80 MILES PER HOUR UNTIL I HIT THE HILLS. I REDUCED MY SPEED TO 65 AND SET MY CRUISE CONTROL. NEVER HAD A/C ON IT WAS STILL COOL, BEFORE NOON. HALF-WAY THROUGH THE HILLS I LOST ACCELERATION AND CRUISE CONTROL SHUT-OFF. REST OF THE WAY THROUGH THE HILLS WAS IN THE SLOW LANE/EMERGENCY LANE GOING 25 TO 30 MILES PER HOUR. FINALLY MADE IT THROUGH THE HILLS BUT BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO EXIT I8 I WAS GOING 20 THEN 15 THEN 10 MILES PER HOUR. AFTER AN HOUR OF LETTING THE CAR SIT I STARTED AGAIN PUT IN IN REVERSE AND THAT'S AS FAR AS I GOT. I HAD NO POWER AT ALL IN "D" OR "L", HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED 51 MILES. OBVIOUSLY NISSAN HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ROGUE MODEL AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM.

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.

CVT TRANSMISSION. ONE OWNER COMEPLETES ALL REGULAR MAINTENANCE. WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE CAR MAKES A WHINING NOISE, LOSES POWER AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THIS CAUSED SEMIS TO GRID LOCK I MOVED OFF ROAD TO AVOID GETTING HIT AND CAUSING A MULTI CAR PILE UP. I LOOK UP AND SEE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE BY THE 100'S AND SADLY NISSAN ISN'T WILLING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE WITH THE CVT ON LATER MODELS BUT EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON PREVIOUS MODELS WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION.

THE VEHICLE IDLES AND VIBRATES CONSTANTLY WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS USED. MY WHEEL MAY NOT VIBRATE 10 MINUTES OUT OF A HALF HOUR DRIVE. IT EITHER BARELY WILL TAKE OFF FROM START OR IT COMPLETELY FLOORS IT AND EXCELS. FEELS LIKE A DIESEL RUGGED VEHICLE AND NOT A SMOOTH NORMAL RIDE LIKE ANY CAR OR SUV SHOULD RIDE. I COMPLAINED THE DAY IT WAS PURCHASED AND HAVE HATED IT EVER SINCE.

AT AROUND 56,000 MILES THE ENGINE WOULD REV ON ITS OWN WHEN ID GO UP HILL THEN NO PROBLEMS UNTIL 6 MTHS AGO WHERE @ 66,000 MILES THE CAR WOULD DESPERATE ON ITS OWN FROM 70MPH TO 55 THEN 25 ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO DRIVE WITH MY HAZARDS ON. I WOULD THEN PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND IT WOULD TAKE 10 SECONDS TO GET TO 50MPH. THE CAR HAS NO POWER IT SEEMS LIKE.

THERE IS AM ACCELERATION ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. WHEN TRAVELING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY THE RPMS WILL GO UP TO 4000 PR HIGHER AND LOSE ACCELERATION. I WENT FROM 70 MPH TO LESS THAN 30 MPH WITHIN SECONDS ON A HILL. ONCE I GOT TO THE TOP OF THE HILL TO WHERE I COULD SAFELY PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY I TURNED THE CAR OFF. I HAD TO LEAVE IT OFF FOR AT LEAST 10 MINS BEFORE I GOT THE ACCELERATION POWER BACK. IF I TIRED BEFORE THAT IT WOULDNT ACCELERATE EVEN WITH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE READ A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. I WAS TOLD IT IS THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR LESS THAN 2 YEARS AND IT ONLY HAS 76000ISH MILES ON IT. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TO ME NOT ONCE, TWICE, THREE TIMES BUT FIVE TIMES NOW ON THE HIGHWAY SINCE REACHING 60000+ MILES ON THE CAR!! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND ADDRESSED. I HAVE 3 KIDS AND IF I GET INTO A CRASH BECAUSE OF THIS I WILL BE SUING NISSAN FOR THIS FAULTY ISSUE!!!!

THE 2013 NISSAN ROGUE WAS BUILT WITHOUT HAVING A COOLANT VALVE ON THE TRANSMISSION. I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE RPM ON MY CAR WITH BEGIN GOING VERY HIGH AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL NEVER MOVE ALL THE WHILE I AM PRESSING THE GAS DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR IS GOING ALMOST ONLY 20 OR 30 MILES PER HOUR AT THIS POINT. I AM NOT GOING UP A HILL OR GOING VERY FAST I USUALLY ONLY TRAVEL ABOUT 60 OR 65 MPH. IT MAKES A WHINING SOUND AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I DID TAKE THIS ISSUE UP WITH MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID WHAT IS HAPPENING IS SINCE THERE IS NO VALVE TO KEEP THE TRANSMISSION COOL THEN IT OVERHEATS AND LOOSING ACCELERATION IS A KIND OF WAY OF "SELF-DIAGNOSING" AND ATTEMPTING TO COOL DOWN-DUE TO THERE NOT BEING A VALVE ON THE CAR DURING MANUFACTURING. I DO INDEED HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 100,000 MILES UP TO 5 YEARS, BUT THEY SAID THEY CAN NOT PAY FOR THE PART BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ON THE CAR WHEN IT WAS MADE. THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR PARTS TO BE PUT ON THE CAR. ON NOVEMBER 25, 2015 NISSAN PUT OUT A SERVICE BULLETIN ON HOW TO PUT THE PART ON AND ARE WELL AWARE THAT ROGUES FROM 2008-2013 DO NOT HAVE THIS VALVE. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE THAT MY CAR COULD LOSE ACCELERATION AT ANY POINT-AND IT HAS ON THE INTERSTATE, HIGHWAY, AND MANY OTHER PLACES. NISSAN STATES THAT THE ROGUE HAD EVERYTHING ON IT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO, BUT THEY CAN'T TELL ME HOW THEY CAN PUT A BULLETIN OUT ON HOW TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND THEY KNOW THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED, BUT THEN WON'T PAY FOR THE ISSUE. I REALLY FEEL THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME TYPE OF RECALL ON A CAR THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE PROPER VALVE ON IT TO KEEP IT FROM OVERHEATING. THAT SOUNDS LIKE A REAL SAFETY ISSUE TO ME, A SINGLE MOTHER WHO WORKS AND TRAVELS WITH 2 SMALL CHILDREN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROUGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STOPPED, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT CALLED AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REGARDING THE FAILURE. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY FURTHER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.
