2013 Nissan Rogue

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HIS DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED TO 35 MPH AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER PULLED OVER, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND THE VEHICLE DROVE AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THRUWAY NISSAN (79 NY-17K, NEWBURGH, NY 12550, (845) 562-1000) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND EXTERNAL OIL COOLER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS PER TSB 16-090. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,650.

ON OUR RETURN TRIP FROM MIRAMAR BEACH, FL TO OUR HOME IN VESTAVIA HILLS, AL THE CAR'S SPEED ABRUPTLY REDUCED TO APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AFTER DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON A STATE HIGHWAY (FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 HOURS) BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR OTHER THAN TO "VROOM" WHEN I PRESSED IT WITH MY FOOT. THE PROBLEM WITH ACCELERATION DID NOT CORRECT ITSELF DURING THE REMAINING 75 MILES OF THE TRIP. WE ALSO SMELLED AN ODOR LIKE BURNED OIL WHEN WE STOPPED. VERY DANGEROUS AS ALL OTHER CARS PASSED US ON THIS ALABAMA STATE HIGHWAY AND THE SUBSEQUENT DISTANCE ON INTERSTATE-65. BASED ON WHAT WE HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET, INCLUDING SETTLEMENTS OF CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS AND EXTENDED WARRANTY AWARDS FOR EARLIER MODEL YEARS, WE BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE NISSAN'S CVT TRANSMISSION AND IT'S FACTORY SETTINGS.

THE CAR STARTS TO LAG AND DECELERATE WHEN TRYING TO GO OVER 50MPH..IT SPUTTERS WHEN SITTING AT RED LIGHTS/STOP SIGNS. CAR ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT, AND TOOK IT TO MECHANIC TODAY WHO STATED IT WAS THE CVT AND THAT ITS COMMON WITH 2013-2016 MODELS. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THESE CVT TRANSMISISONS, ITS CRAZY THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY RECALLS YET. THERE WERE LEMON LAWS IN OTHER STATES PROTECTING OTHER NISSAN MODELS FOR CVT ISSUES , WHICH HAVE ALREADY EXPIRED, HOWEVER THERE SEEM TO BE NONE FOR NISSAN ROGUE..I GUESS NO RECALLS WILL BE DONE UNTIL ONE OF US DIES..WHICH IS A SHAME..

AT ONLY 80,000 MILES, THE VEHICLE DANGEROUSLY LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING AND INEVITABLY WOULD NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. UPON BEING PARKED, THE VEHICLE WOULD START, BUT WOULD IMMEDIATELY SHUDDER AND STALL OUT WHEN TRYING TO MOVE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. NISSAN HAS HAD COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILING PREMATURELY, AND HAS ISSUED WARRANTY EXTENSIONS ON ALL OTHER VEHICLES AND YEARS ASIDE FROM THE 2013 NISSAN ROGUE.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ROGUE WAS SLUGGISH WITH POOR ACCELERATION WHEN I WOULD GO FASTER THAN 50 MPH. VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 107,800 MILES. IT WAS DETERMINED THE CVT (CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION) IS THE PROBLEM, TORQUE CONVERTER AND LEFT SIDE AXLE WERE BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. TOTAL COST WAS $3,942.58. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR MODEL YEAR ROGUES FROM 2008 TO 2016. HOWEVER THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY 2013 ROGUE AND I CHECKED MY VIN ON NISSAN'S WEBSITE. I ALSO SPOKE TO A REP AT NISSAN AND SHE STATED THAT MY ROGUE IS NOT ON THE LIST FOR ANY OF THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY MODEL YEAR ROGUE. HOWEVER SHE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2013 ROGUES. HOWEVER, I FOUND A BULLETIN TSB NTB13-079D THAT THE REDUCED PERFORMANCE IS DUE TO CVT FLUID TEMPERATURE PROTECTION LOGIC RE0F10A CVT TRANSMISSION OR A BAD TORQUE CONVERTER WHICH REQUIRES THE TRANSMISSION TO BE REPLACED. THIS AFFECTS 2008 TO 2013 NISSAN ROGUES TSB NTB14-002D.

2013 NISSAN ROGUE HAS THE WORST TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS EVER AND NO ONE IS DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT!! MY VEHICLE CONSTANTLY LOSES POWER. IT WHINES. IT MAKES NOISES. IT LOSES POWER SUDDENLY. I HAVE PUT MANY COMPLAINTS IN WITH THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THEIR IS NOTHING WRONG....WTF ARE THEY SMOKING CRACK?? OR. IS IT BECAUSE NISSAN USA DOESN'T WANT TO PAY?? NHTSA PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED ON THE HIGHWAY TRYING TO PUSH THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OR GETS HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER B/C THE '13 ROGUE JUST DIES ON THE HIGHWAY. IF YOU INVESTIGATED NISSAN USA DATA BASE OVER THE LAST 5-8 YEARS YOU WILL FIND HUGE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CVT TRANSMISSION ON THIS VEHICLE. OR. LOOK AT CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. YOU WILL AGAIN SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING AND AGAIN.... NISSAN USA DOES NOTHING. WHY DID NISSAN EXTEND THE CVT WARRANTY ON THE FOLLOWING YEARS..BUT NOT THE '13'S. BECAUSE SOMETHING IS WRONG AND IT'S HUGE MONEY THEY HAVE TO SPEND. WE ARE IN A COVID 19 TIME AND PEOPLE LOST THEIR JOBS AND FUNDING IS LIMITED AND TO HAVE SOMEONE PAY OUT $6000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION...WHICH NISSAN USA SHOULD BE FIXING THEMSELVES IS UNETHICAL, IMMORAL AND BASICALLY FRAUDULENT AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY AND HOLD NISSAN USA FEET TO THE FIRE... PERIOD!!!! NHTSA. PLEASE HELP. YOU ARE THE LAST RESORT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY. BEST MICHAEL CATUOGNO

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. ROGUE IS SLUGGISH WITH POOR ACCELERATION WHEN I GO BEYOND 50 MPH. VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 107,800 MILES. IT APPEARS THAT THE CVT (CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION) IS THE PROBLEM, POSSIBLE TORQUE CONVERTER IS BAD OR THE REDUCED PERFORMANCE IS DUE TO CVT FLUID TEMPERATURE PROTECTION LOGIC. THERE AREN'T ANY RECALLS AND I CHECKED MY VIN ON NISSAN'S WEBSITE AND THEY STATE THAT MY ROGUE ISN'T ON THE LIST FOR ANY OF THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS. HOWEVER, THIS IS WHAT I FOUND: TSB NTB13-079D ' REDUCED PERFORMANCE DUE TO CVT FLUID TEMPERATURE PROTECTION LOGIC ' RE0F10A CVT TRANSMISSION 2008 ' 2013 NISSAN ROGUE ' TSB NTB14-002D PROBLEM ' THE REDUCED PERFORMANCE IS DUE TO THE CVT FAIL-SAFE MODE, WHICH WILL REDUCE THE VEHICLE SPEED TO PROTECT THE TRANSMISSION FROM FURTHER DAMAGE. *DT CONSUMER STATED TORQUE CONVERTER AND LEFT SIDE AXLE WERE BAD AND WERE REPLACED.*JB

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE WITH CRUISE SET ON 74 WITHOUT WARNING CAR STARTED TO DECELERATE PUSHED PEDAL TO THE FLOOR RPMS WENT UP BUT CAR WOULD NOT GO LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO SIDE OF ROAD, GAGES SHOWED NORMAL. TURNED ENGINE OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES TRIED TO MERGE BACK INTO TRAFFIC BUT CAR WOULD NOT MOVE, AFTER SITTING ON HIGHWAY IN OVER 98 DEGREE HEAT IN SOUTH MISS OVER AN HOUR THE CAR MOVED BUT WOULD NOT GO OVER 60 MPH TOOK SEVERAL HOURS OF HAVING TO STOP AFTER SO MANY MILES AND LETTING IT COOL OFF I FINALLY MADE IT HOME. TURNED A NORMAL 45 MINUTE PLESANT DRIVE INTO A 4 HOUR NIGHTMARE. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE SO I AM PAYING A NOTE ON A CAR I CANNOT USE WHEN THE WEATHER IS HOT WHICH IN SOUTH MISSISSIPPI IS MOST OF THE YEAR. CAN NOT AFFORD TO TAKE TO A MECHANIC BUT I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM HOWEVER AND FOUND OUT IT IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR CAR.

I'VE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. WHILE DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY ON THE HIGHWAY FOR OVER 1.5 HRS. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 60 MPH. ANOTHER TIME WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING ON THE OH TURNPIKE 1 HOUR AWAY FROM HOME I LOST ACCELERATION WHILE GOING UPHILL AND COASTED TO AN AREA TO STOP. WHILE I WAS STOPPED THE CAR SMOKED AND IT WOULD NOT START UNTIL AFTER 30 MINUTES. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO A MECHANIC WHO INFORMED IT MAY BE MY TRANSMISSION AND HE ADVISED TO NOT GO OVER 60 MPH AND TO TAKE THE BACK ROADS HOME.
