My car has not felt the same in a while. I got it tested by a few mechanics and finally got the answer. Car makes a humming sound and feels like it’s not using all its power. The mechanic told me it’s the transmission is starting to go. As I did more research I’m finding that this is becoming a common problem with Nissan vehicle owners from 2010-2016 especially the 2013 Nissan Rogue. The car only has 68000 miles since we purchased brand new in 2013.I do all it’s regular maintenance requirements.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE MORNING, ON A SOMEWHAT BUSY ROAD THAT ACTS AS A SMALL TWO LANE HIGHWAY THAT LEADS TO THE FREEWAY, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT FELT LIKE I HAD GOTTEN A FLAT TIRE AND WAS DRIVING ON THE RIM. NO SOUNDS, JUST DRAMATIC LOSS OF POWER. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ON A VERY NARROW SHOULDER. INSPECTED TIRES AND ALL WERE PERFECTLY FINE. I WAITED A FEW, TURNED CAR ON WHICH STARTED JUST FINE. PUT CAR INTO GEAR BUT ABSOLUTELY NO ENGAGEMENT!! NOTHING. WITH FOOT PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, JUST DIDN'T MOVE. RPM'S WERE NORMAL ALONG WITH SPEED ODOMETER. THIS WAS NOT ONLY A SCARY SITUATION TO BE IN KNOWING THAT WHILE IN MOTION THIS VEHICLE LOST ALL ABILITY TO FUNCTION BUT A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND OTHERS. I TRULY HOPE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN ANYMORE! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. NOT OKAY NISSAN NOT OKAY

I HAVE A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE SELECT WITH 87,000 MILES. IT SHUDDERS/JERKS INTERMITTENTLY DURING IDLE AT DRIVE MODE EVEN WHEN AC AND FAN ARE OFF. UPON DRIVING TO AUSTIN IN FEBRUARY, MY CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER ON A HIGHWAY WITH 70 MPH LIMIT. THE RPM CONTINUED TO G UP , AS DID THE GAS GAGE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. LUCKILY , I WAS NEAR AN EXIT AND ABLE TO COAST OFF TO BARELY MAKE IT TO THE GAS STATION, TO ALLOW THE CAR TO COOL. THE TEMPERATURE GAGE, NEVER RAN HOT. THEN JUST LAST WEEK MAKING THE SAME TRIP, THE SAME ISSUE, BUT THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE I COULD BE KILLED, OR KILL SOMEONE ELSE BECAUSE I AM NOT ABLE TO MOVE AT THE REQUIRED SPEED. I THIN TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN HEADQUARTERS. SOMEONE NAME JEREMY CALLED ME A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER ONLY TO SAY THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO. I EVEN MENTIONED THE CLASS ACTION SUIT THAT HE SAID HE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE FACTORY ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY, NOR SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS AN ISSUE THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT. I AM INCLUDING PICTURES OF THE REPAIRS. I CAN PROVIDE THE WHOLE REPORT, BUT I DO NOT HAVE A SCANNER AT THE MOMENT. ALSO THE FIRM BRANDSETTER, STRAANCH AND JENNINGS IN TENNESSEE HAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED, LETS NOT ALLOW IT TO GET TO THIS POINT. THANKS.
