2013 Nissan Rogue

WHEN DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE GOING 65 - 70 MPH AFTER 1 HR DRIVING CAR SUDDENLY STOOPED ACCELERATING. I PULLED OFF ON AN EXIT AND REACHED A STOP LIGHT. WHEN I PUSHED ON GAS PEDAL THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE RIGHT AWAY. HAPPENED AT TWO SETS OF LIGHTS. SHUT THE CAR OFF FOR 20 MINUTES AND STARTED DRIVING AGAIN AND IT SEEMED OK. DRIVING OK SHORT DISTANCES WHILE I WAS IN MAINE. ON MY WAY HOME TO MASSACHUSETTS AFTER 1 HR OF DRIVING ON INTERSTATE GOING 60 - 70 MPH AGAIN I LOST ACCELERATION. HAD TO PULL OVER AND SIT ANOTHER 20 MINUTES. I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE MY DRIVE AFTER SITTING AND LETTING IT COOL DOWN.

A MONTH AFTER BUYING THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE SHAKING AND JITTERING AND WHINING NOISES. THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL THAT IT'S THE NEW STYLE TRANSMISSION. NOW 140K MILES LATER. I'M ONN A TRIP WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 75 I NOTICED I WAS SLOWING DOWN IT SLOWED TO 60 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. TURNED CRUISE CONTROL OFF AND ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE. ONCE I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL IT DID NOTHING. RPMS DIDNT GO UP MPH DIDNT GO UP. IT WAS LIKE IT JUST SHUT OFF. I GOT TO THE NEXT EXIT PULLED OFF ON SIDE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON. IT WAS FINE ABOUT AN HOUR LATER IT DID THE SAME THING SO STOPPED AT A GAS STATION CHECKED FLUIDS EVERYTHING NORMAL. GOT BACK ON THE INTERSTATE IT WAS NORMAL AGAIN. MADE IT TO OUR DESTINATION AND VEHICLE SEEMED FINE THE NEXT 2 DAYS BUT WE NEVER NEEDED TO DRIVE OVER 55. ON THE TRIP HOME IT STARTED AGAIN ABOUT AN HOUR IN. SO WE STOPPED ATE AND GOT BACK ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS TIME WE KEPT THE SPEED UNDER 65 THE ENTIRE TRIP HOME AND IT WAS FINE. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT CHECKED OUT TO FIND OUT THAT IT'S MY TRANSMISSION THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

DRIVING 70-75 MPH ON I-80 WEST LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER BOUGHT USED. BEGAN HEARING HIGH-PITCHED WHINE THAT STOPPED WHEN I LIFTED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR. CONTINUED TWO MILES TO PLAZA WITH SOUND GETTING LOUDER AND HAD TO COAST INTO PARKING AREA BECAUSE TRANSMISSION WOULD NO LONGER ENGAGE. NO REVVING, NOTHING. TOWED HOME ($213). FINE FOR MONTHS, THEN HAPPENED AGAIN ON TURNPIKE. PULLED OVER, WAITED AN HOUR TO COOL. DROVE REST OF DISTANCE GOING 50 MPH OR LESS. FINALLY HAD TO FLOOR GAS PEDAL TO GET ANY MOVEMENT AFTER STOPLIGHTS. NOW MAKES BUZZING-SCREAMING NOISE EVERY TIME IT STARTS, IN NEUTRAL OR OTHERWISE. NISSAN DEALER SAYS $4,000 FOR REPAIR. I'M 67, ON FIXED INCOME AND STILL MAKING PAYMENTS!

I BOUGHT MY NISSAN ROGUE IN DECEMBER 2013 BRAND NEW. WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED, THE CAR HAS ROUGHLY 60,000. JUST LAST SUMMER 2018, AS I WAS DRIVING TO ATLANTA ON I- 20 WEST MY CAR STARTED TO DECELERATE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 75 MPH AFTER 40 MINUTES INTO MY TRIP. I WAS SO NERVOUS, AS I CONTINUED TO PUSH THE GAS BUT NOTHING HAPPENED AS CARS SPEED UP BEHIND ME. I MERGED OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE TO AVOID CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. WHILE IN THIS LANE SEMI TRUCKS QUICKLY STARTED TO APPROACH BEHIND ME AND THAT'S WHEN I KNEW SOMETHING WAS TERRIBLE WRONG. I MERGED OFF THE NEAREST EXIT FOR MY SAFETY. I FOUND SOMEWHERE TO PARK AND TURNED OFF MY VEHICLE. I RESTARTED IT AND PRECEDED TO MY DESTINATION WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. THIS SAME THING HAPPENED LATER THAT YEAR. I DID GET MY CAR DIAGNOSIS AND DISCOVERED THAT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION BUT THAT COMPANY DIDN'T HAVE THE EQUIPMENT TO DUE THAT REPAIR. RECENTLY, I WENT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND GOT ANOTHER DIAGNOSIS AND THEY SAID IT IS THE TRANSMISSION WHICH WILL COST $4000. I WOULD IMAGINE THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT HAVE THAT TYPE OF PROBLEM WITHIN 4 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP SINCE THIS TRANSMISSION WAS BUILT BY NISSAN. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND SEEN THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD THIS PROBLEMS WITH THIS YEAR MODEL.

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.

MY 2013 NISSAN ROGUE LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING AND WILL ONLY ACCELERATE TO TWENTY MILES PER HOUR DOING THIS TIME. TODAY 06/17/2019 IS THE FOURTH EPISODE. THE FIRST THREE HAPPEN WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL DRIVING UPHILL. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND AFTER 15 MINUTES OR SO IT WAS DRIVABLE. HOWEVER TODAY IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON A NORMAL FLAT FREEWAY SURFACE WHILE IN THE HOV LANE. TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT OR THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ISSUE. MY WIFE AND GRANDDAUGHTER WERE IN THE CARE WITH ME. FROM MY RESEARCH, MANY OWNERS OR HAVING OR HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2013 NISSAN WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. REQUEST SOMEONE CHECKS AND REQUIRE NISSAN TO FIX THE PROBLEM(S).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE RPMS INCREASED FROM 500 TO 600 AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO SHIFT GEARS. WHEN THE CONTACT DID SO, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO OPERATE NORMALLY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED SIX MONTHS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NELSON NISSAN (800 W QUEENS ST, BROKEN ARROW, OK 74012, (918) 258-9901) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

AFTER DRIVING ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF IN 90 DEGREES WITH AIR CONDITIONER ON, THE RPMS JOLTED UPWARDS WHILE MY CAR BEGAN TO DECELERATE. IT FELT LIKE IT POPPED OUT OF GEAR AND I WAS CAREENING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN NEUTRAL. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE RODE AND LET IT SET FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. I THEN HAD TO TAKE BACK ROADS AND DRIVE UNDER 50 MPH WITH OUT AIR CONDITIONER, BUT MADE IT HOME. I BROUGHT IT IN TO MAPLEWOOD KLEIN NISSAN DEALER AND DEVICE. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND SAID THERE WAS AN INTERMITTENT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION, AT $4200, AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 139000 MILES. THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND FILE A COMPLAINT. THEY SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND NISSAN COMPANY HAS BEEN HELPING WITH REPAIRS, ANYWHERE BETWEEN 30-70%. HOWEVER, AFTER SEVERAL PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS, I WAS INFORMED BY THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT THEY DO NOT HELP CUSTOMERS WITH THIS ISSUE IF PAST THE 60000 MILES OR 5 YEARS. I ASKED HOW THE OTHER CUSTOMERS WHERE ABLE TO GET HELP, DESPITE BEING PAST THE WARRANTY, AND I WAS TOLD NISSAN WAS IN NO POSITION TO HELP ME. I SAID IT WAS DANGEROUS T DRIVE AND THE CVT SHOULD NOT BE GOING OUT THIS SOON. I ALSO STRESSED THAT RESEARCH SHOWS MANY CUSTOMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AND SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION THEY PUT IN THE CARS. I WAS TOLD NO HELP WOULD BE GIVEN, THANK YOU FOR CALLING.
