2013 Nissan Rogue

I HAVE A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE THAT THE TRANSMISSION JUST DIED ON ME. THE CAR HAS 103 K MILES AND DIED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A 3 LANE HIGHWAY. I WAS DOING 70 MPH AND THE CAR SPEED DROPPED TO LESS THAN 5 MPH. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL FOR A GOOD MINUTE BUT THE CAR WON'T GO OVER 5 MPH. I FINALLY MANAGED TO SAFELY GET OUT OF THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR JUST DIED ON THE SIDE OF ROAD. TOWED THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE CVT TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPAIRED. THEY KNOW THAT OLDER MODELS WERE COVERED UNDER A NISSAN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE CVT TRANSMISSION,BUT MY 2013 ROGUE WAS NOT COVERED AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE SPEED ON THIS CAR SHOULD NOT JUST DROP FROM 70 MPH TO 5 MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS, IT IS DANGEROUS. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT WON'T ADMIT IT. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE DRIVING THIS CARS AND NOT KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THEY ARE. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE OVER THIS.

WHILE DRIVING ON 101 NORTH PASSING THROUGH SANTA ROSA, CA ON MAY 29, 2017 GOING THE HIGHWAY SPEED LIMIT OF 65MPH, MY 2013 NISSAN ROGUE WAS STRUGGLING TO GET UP A SMALL INCLINE WHEN THE MPH SUDDENLY DROPPED TO 30 AND I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO GO ANY FASTER. THE ROAD WAS PACKED WITH CARS AS IT WAS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. I HAD 3 CHILDREN IN MY CAR. WE BARELY MADE IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY WENT DEAD. IT WAS ABSOLUTE SHEER LUCK THAT THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. CARS WERE SWERVING ALL AROUND ME TO AVOID HITTING ME. I WAS IN THE FAR LEFT LANE AND HAD TO CROSS OVER 2 OTHER LANES (GOING 30 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY) TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. MY CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS 85,000 MILES ON IT. MY DEALER SAID "THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM IS COMMON" WITH THIS MODEL. I GOOGLED "2013 ROGUE CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS" AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS: THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO HAPPEN ON SURFACE ROADS. THIS IS VERY, VERY DANGEROUS. THE COMPANY WAS BESIEGED WITH CVT COMPLAINTS AND FIXED THEIR 2010 AND 2011 MODELS, BUT THIS PROBLEM IS STILL HAPPENING WITH ALL SUBSEQUENT ROGUE MODELS. PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS.

CAR LOSES ACCELERATION ON WARM DAYS AND DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR 30 MINUTES PLUS. PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE ONLY CAUSES RPM'S TO INCREASE BUT THE MPH OF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT. AFTER PULLING THE VEHICLE OVER AND GIVEN A CHANCE TO COOL DOWN, NORMAL OPERATIONS RESUME UNTIL THE FLUIDS IN THE CVT DRIVE HEATER UP AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. IF YOU ARE IN A BAD POSITION ON THE HIGHWAY AND NEED TO ACCELERATE FOR SOME REASON ANC CANNOT, THIS CAN BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

I WAS MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY GOING ~50 MPH. WENT TO ACCELERATE AND THE ACCELERATER DID NOT SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME TENSION. THEN ALL LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH (CHECK ENGINE, OIL, BATTERY ETC) THEN THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION. PULLED TO THE SHOULDER, TURNED THE CAR OFF, BACK ON AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON, BUT NOT ACTIVE AS I WAS MERGING, AND SPORT MODE WAS ON. SINCE THE INCIDENT WHEN ON CRUISE CONTROL I WILL FEEL THE TRANSMISSION 'SLIP' FROM TIME TO TIME AS WELL. HOWEVER I COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE OF THE CAR STALLING.I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IF I COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO EITHER. IT LOOKS LIKE PEOPLE ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND HOPEFULLY THIS CAN GET RESOLVED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHILE BEING DRIVEN AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 42,868. UPDATED 05/09/17*LJ *TR

I OWN A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE.THAT I HAVE KEPT UP THE SERVICE ON AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR EVERYTHING, BUT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY FAILED TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT.THE MILEAGE WAS BETWEEN 80,000.TO 85,000. AT THAT POINT THE ROGUE BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE AND CAN'T ACCELERATE PAST 40 MPH. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AND IT HAS LEFT MY FAMILY AND I STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE 3 TIMES, NOW I CAN'T TRUST THIS VEHICLE AT ALL AND FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. AND NISSAN FOR SOME REASON CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WHEN THEY HOOK IT UP TO THE COMPUTER BECAUSE THERE IS NO CODE ERROR. (BUT THEY DO HAVE THE [XXX] TO TELL ME I NEED TO BUY A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR A CAUSE OF OVER $5000 BEFORE TAXES)THIS ROGUE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD, THIS ALL HAS BEEN VERY FRIGHTENING TO ME AND MY FAMILY, AS I AM ON THE FREEWAY EVERY DAY AND SOMEONE COULD VERY EASILY CRASH INTO ME WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILS OR EVEN WHEN I AM TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM AN ON RAMP OR OUT OF A PARKING SPOT IN THE CITY OR A TOOL BOOTH AND THERE IS ZERO POWER, I CAN'T EXPRESS HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS. NISSAN PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, WE ARE HARD WORKING PEOPLE AND NONE OF US WILL EVER CONSIDER ANOTHER NISSAN IF THIS CAN'T BE FIXED.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT MY ROGUE AT THE AUTO NATION NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN MARIETTA. I BEGAN MY FIRST LONG DISTANCE TRIP BACK HOME ON THE HWY AND THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED. I HAD TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE TO PROPERLY ASSESS THE SITUATION. FIGURED IT COULD HAVE BEEN JUST A FLUKE, BEGAN TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD AND WITH MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE FLOOR, THE CAR WOULD BARELY RUN. CALLED NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SUGGESTS THAT I TURN MY CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT BECAUSE IT'S OVERHEATING DUE TO GA WEATHER. NOW, IT IS HOT, BUT THERE ARE MILLIONS OF CARS IN GA THAT DON'T HAVE TO SIT EVERY HOUR YOU'RE ON THE ROAD. HE SAID AFTER THEN, TO JUST DRIVE ON THE HWY AT ABOUT 60MPH. SIR THIS IS THE INTERSTATE. NOT POSSIBLE. PEOPLE WILL RUN OVER YOU. TOOK IT RIGHT BACK TO NISSAN AND A FEW DAYS LATER, THEY STATED TO ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THEY DID NOT PROPERLY ASSESS THE SITUATION AS THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT HE DROVE IT ON THE CITY STREETS. I GET ONLINE AND RESEARCH ONLY TO FIND THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS, NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE. IT IS TERRIBLE. ESSENTIALLY, YOU'RE PAYING FOR A GLORIFIED SCOOTER! I NEED THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATELY!

WE DROVE AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY THE RPMS WENT OVER 4000, AND THE CAR STARTED DECELERATING, WE WERE UNABLE TO GET OR KEEP HIGHWAY SPEED, EVEN WITH PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE TO PULL TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY. AFTER 15 MINUTES IT SEEMED TO FUNCTION, BUT A MILE LATER IT DID THE SAME THING. EVEN WORSE ON ANY SORT OF INCLINE, EVEN SLIGHT. FOR FEAR OF OUR SAFETY, WE HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED 55 MILES BACK HOME. I LOOKED IT UP AND AM WONDERING WHY THERE IS NO RECALL?? OUR SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS ALSO ON THE ROAD IS AT RISK!
