2013 Nissan Rogue

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON A HIGHWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, IT BEGAN TO SHAKE AND MAKE A LOUD NOISE. WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. AFTER PULLING OVER IN THE MIDDLE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER AND THE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE CVT HAD AN INTERNAL FAILURE WITH NO MOVEMENT. ALTHOUGH NISSAN WAS CONTACTED IMMEDIATELY THEY REFUSED TO ASSIST WITH THE REPAIRS OF THE CAR BECAUSE THE MILEAGE DEEMED THE CAR OUT OF WARRANTY. THERE WERE NO INDICATION THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS GOING TO OCCUR. THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE AND FAULTY AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, I DISCOVERED THAT NISSAN HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS OF ROGUES IN THE PAST. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO A AAA CAR CARE CENTER FOR REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTOWAY NISSAN (9920 E ADAMO DR, TAMPA, FL 33619) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ADVISED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH, WHEN CAR SUDDENLY REDUCED TO 50 MHP IN JACKSON MS, ALMOST GOT HIT FROM BEHIND BY 18 WHEELER. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN MERIDIAN MS AND THEY STATED THE CAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND DAMAGE ARE DUE TO BOILING COOLANT. THE BOILING COOLANT IS CAUSED BY THE COOLANT SYSTEM THAT CAN NOT COOL THE COOLANT LIQUID FAST ENOUGH. THIS ONLY HAPPENS IF YOU ARE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY FOR A VERY LONG HOURS. DEALER SUGGESTED REPLACING THE CVT TRANSMISSION ($4000), NISSAN ADVICES TO ADD A SECOND EXTERNAL CVT OIL COOLER KIT ($900) TO PREVENT COOLANT LIQUID FROM BOILING AND TO PROTECT THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY, THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS ISSUE. IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE AND IT'S NISSAN'S DESIGN FLAW. WARRANTY COMPANIES KNOW ABOUT IT AND THEY WILL NOT COVER FOR THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE DESPITE OF THEIR CONTRACT SAYS TRANSMISSION IS COVERED. NISSAN OFFERED TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE REPAIRS. THEY DID ADMIT IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW ON PHONE.

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.

TAMARA RECALL I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY AND OR DOG WHEN THE CAR WENT FROM 50MILE A HR. TO 25 MILE A HR. WITH OUT ANY NOTICE AND THIS HAPPENED ON A ROAD WHERE THERE IS A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND THERE IS NO ROOM TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP SO I WITH ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHER PEOPLE WHERE HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS A WHOLE COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM THE NISSAN IS AWARE OF IT AND THEY'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE I READ ABOUT SOMEBODY ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR IN THEIR CAR DROP DOWN TO 30 MILES AN HOUR AND THEY HAD TO CALL FOR A TOW TRUCK I FEEL THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS AND IT NEEDS TO BE TALKED INTO I THINK THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS ARE A GOOD IDEA BUT THERE'S A LOT OF FLAWS AND SAFETY ISSUES WITH THEM IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL SOMEBODY GETS AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THEIR CVT FAILED AND I DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN TO ME OR MY FAMILY OR ANYBODY ELSE IN THEIR FAMILY!!

WITH AROUND 60K MILES I NOTICED THAT WHEN DRIVING EXTENDED DISTANCES, MY NISSAN ROGUE WOULD NOT ALLOW ME ACCELERATE PASS 65MPH. I HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE SO I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT EVALUATED AND SEE IF ANY COMPUTER CODES POPPED UP. NOTHING CAME UP. THIS ISSUE KEPT GOING ON SO I TOOK IT BACK A YEAR LATER AROUND 79K MILES AND SUDDENLY SOME CODES APPEARED FOR CVT ISSUES. THEY SAID I WOULD NEED AN ENTIRELY NEW CVT. I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THIS WITH NISSAN AND HAVE FOUND NO RESOLUTION. I DON'T FEEL LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO COVER SEEING AS THOUGH THERE WAS AN EXTENDED NISSAN WARRANTY ISSUED OF 120,000 MILES/10 YEARS FOR 2010 AND EARLIER MODELS. OBVIOUSLY, THEY HAVEN'T FIXED THE ISSUES BECAUSE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OWNERS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. GOOGLE IT OR SEARCH NISSAN FORUMS. IT'S NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMER. I AM A SINGLE MOM AND STILL HAVE OVER $16K TO PAY ON THIS VEHICLE. IT IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. I WAS DRIVING OUT OF TOWN FOR THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO FULL LIMP MODE ON THE INTERSTATE JEOPARDIZING OUR SAFETY. MY CAR ENDED UP BEING LEFT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NOW I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO TOW IT BACK TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHEN FINANCES ARE ALREADY TIGHT DURING THIS TIME OF THE YEAR IN A ONE INCOME HOUSEHOLD. NISSAN SEEMS UNINTERESTED IN ISSUING A NEW EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THESE VEHICLES BUT MAYBE THIS IS SOMETHING NHTSA CAN PUSH FOR. SOMEONE HAS TO LOOK OUT FOR THE CONSUMER. ANY HELP WITH THIS ISSUE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS!

MY 2013 NISSAN ROGUE SUDDENLY BEGAN LOSING ACCELERATION ABILITY. THE RPM'S WOULD REV UP HIGH WITH NO INCREASE IN SPEED. THIS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC WITH THE CAR BEHIND ME HAVING TO SLAM ON BRAKES OR SWERVE TO AVOID IMPACT. EVEN MORE DANGEROUS, THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS WHEN TURNING LEFT ACROSS TRAFFIC LANES. EVEN WITH PLENTY OF TIME TO TURN, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AS IT BARELY CRAWLED WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC COMING QUICKLY. IF THE OTHER VEHICLES HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO SLOW DOWN OR CHANGE LANES TO AVOID MY SEEMINGLY STALLED CAR, THERE WOULD'VE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN TRAFFIC, TURNING ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANES, AS WELL AS PULLING OUT ONTO HIGHWAYS & BUSY STREETS. I WAS TOO TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD KILL MY SELF & MY CHILDREN THAT I HAD TO STOP DRIVING MY NISSAN UNTIL I COULD GET ENOUGH MONEY TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. I AM SELF-EMPLOYED SO THIS CAUSED A MAJOR HARDSHIP. I AM CONVINCED THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION WILL CAUSE SERIOUS AND FATAL ACCIDENTS, AND PROBABLY ALREADY HAS, IF NISSAN DOES NOT DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS FLAWED TRANSMISSION.

CVT TRANSMISSION WITH 117,000 MILES. TOLD BY DEALER I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION @ A COST OF $4K FOR A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION. NISSAN EXTENDED TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TO 120,000 MILES FOR '03-'10 NISSAN ROGUE MODEL YEARS BUT REFUSE TO PAY FOR OR AT LEAST PARTIALLY COVER COST TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION. DEALER SAID NISSAN ROGUE CVT TRANSMISSIONS CONTINUES TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR MODEL YEARS LATER THEN 2010. NISSAN WILL ONLY WARRANTY A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION FOR 1 YEAR OR 12,000 MILES WHICH SHOWS NISSAN HAS LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN THE EXISTING DESIGN OF THEIR CVT TRANSMISSIONS.

THE CAR HAS WENT INTO LIMP MODE SEVERAL TIMES. ONCE WITH TWO SMALL KIDS ON THE INTERSTATE ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE LATEST TIME I WAS UNABLE TO GET IT OUT OF LIMP MODE AND HAD JUST EXITED THE INTERSTATE. NOW I HAVE A WONDERFUL YARD ORNAMENT ON WHICH I MAKE PAYMENTS. THERE HAS TO BE A RECALL AT SOME POINT. AFTER READING ON THE INTERNET IT IS NOT AN IISOLATED EVENT. WILL A FAMILY NEED TO DIE TO GET THIS FIXED?

HALF WAY INTO A 4 HOUR TRIP HOME FROM THE BEACH, ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, OUR 2013 NISSAN ROGUE EXPERIENCED LOSS OF ACCELERATION. THE TEMPERATURE THIS DAY WAS PROBABLY AROUND 85 DEGREES. WE HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT AN AVERAGE SPEED OF 70-75 MPH. WITH THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 60 MPH, AND WOULD START TO DECELERATE EVEN FURTHER GOING UP HILLS. WE DECIDED TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RAMP, WHILE TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC, THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 5 MILES PER HOUR. WE WERE AFRAID WE WOULD BE HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC BEFORE WE COULD GET PULLED OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. WE PULLED INTO A TRAVEL PLAZA, FILLED THE CAR WITH GAS, AND GOT LUNCH. TWENTY MINUTES LATER WE STARTED UP THE CAR AND IT APPEARED TO ACT NORMALLY, SO WE DECIDED TO CONTINUE WITH OUR TRIP. THIS WAS APPROXIMATELY 6 WEEKS AGO AND IT HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE. THERE IS A LOUD WHINING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE THAT APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE, ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING ON A LARGE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEED.
