2013 Nissan Rogue

WHEN DRIVING MY 2013 NISSAN ROGUE FURTHER THAN 30 MILES GOING SPEEDS OF 60MPH OR GREATER THE RPMS RACE OUT OF CONTROL, THE CAR DANGEROUSLY REDUCES SPEEDS ON FREEWAY EVEN WHILE THE ACCELERATOR IS STILL PRESSED. I HAVE TO TURN OFF CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY FOR 10-15 MINS BEFORE TRYING TO DRIVE AGAIN, ONLY TO HAVE THE SPEEDS REDUCE AND RPMS RACE OUT OF CONTROL AGAIN. IF YOU ARE TRYING TO GO UP HILL FOR A SHORT DISTANCES OR GO UP HILL ON ENTRANCES RAMPS, EXIT RAMPS, OR UP HILL ON BRIDGES THERE IS THE SAME LAG IN TRANSMISSION. THE RPMS RACE OUT OF CONTROL AND ROGUE DANGEROUSLY REDUCES SPEEDS. THERE IS ALSO A LOUD WHINING NOISE WHEN YOU PRESS ACCELERATOR BEYOND 60MPH OR GOING UP HILLS, RAMPS, OR BRIDGES. I'M FRUSTRATED WITH NISSAN THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. THEY'VE EVEN EXTENDED THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY FOR 2008-2010 WITH THE SAME ISSUE JUST UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME. THEY ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE ITS A PROBLEM FOR MODELS 2008-2013 THROUGH THERE 2015 NISSAN SERVICE BULLETIN. MY FRUSTRATION IS NISSAN WANTS ME TO PAY THOUSANDS FOR A KNOWN PROBLEMATIC SAFETY ISSUE WITH THESE MODELS AND YEARS. BUT REFUSE TO DO SO. IF THEY CAN EXTEND THE CVT TRANSMISSION WARRANTY FOR THE 2008-2010 THEY SHOULD ALSO EXTEND THE CTV WARRANTY FOR THE 2013 MODEL THAT'S HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE CVT SENSOR AND VALVE. I'VE ONLY HAD MY 2013 ROGUE SINCE 08/2019. THE ROGUE WAS 'FIXED' ONCE BUT ALL WAS DONE IS TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS CHANGED IN 08/2019. NOW IT'S ONE YEAR LATER AND SAME EXACT ISSUES ARE OCCURRING AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX AGAIN AS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION.

DRIVING FOR ANY DISTANCE 30-40 MILES OR MORE, THE TRANSMISSION FAILS. THE VEHICLE STARTS TO SLOW DOWN WHILE THE RPM'S RISE AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTS MAKING A HIGH PITCHED WHINING SOUND. THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME ANY TRIP OF 30 MILES OR MORE IS ATTEMPTED, USUALLY ON THE INTERSTATE. IF THE VEHICLE IS ALLOWED TO SIT, USUALLY FOR 2 HOURS, THE VEHICLE WILL START AND OPERATE NORMALLY FOR SHORT DISTANCES. DURING THE MOST RECENT EVENT,.THE VEHICLE HAD NOT TRAVELED 30 MILES WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND DURING THIS EPISODE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WHINED THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION STARTED SMOKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES BEGINNING APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS WITH THE MOST RECENT EVENT BEING 8/18/20, YET THERE ARE NO RECALLS.

DURING A 600 MILE ROAD TRIP ON INTERSTATE AND 2 LANE HIGHWAYS, OUR 2013 NISSAN ROUGE BEGAN HAVING ACCELERATION ISSUES AFTER ABOUT 4 HOURS OF DRIVING. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 60 MPH EVEN WITH GAS PEDAL PUSHED ALL WAY. THIS WOULD HAPPEN SEVERAL MORE TIMES. WE FOUND A MECHANIC IN A SMALL TOWN WHO COULD NOT IDENTIFY ANY SPECIFIC PROBLEM. IN A LARGER TOWN THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED SO WE TOOK OUR CAR TO THE LOCAL TIRE AND OIL CHANGE TO CHECK FLUIDS ETC, NO ISSUES WERE FOUND BUT WE WENT AHEAD AND HAD OIL AND FILTERS CHANGED. PROBLEM OCCURRED ONE MORE TIME ON OUR WAY TO OUR DESTINATION. WE DID NOT TRAVEL ON HIGHWAYS FOR A FEW DAYS. ABOUT 5 HOURS ON OUR WAY BACK HOME WE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE ON THE INTERSTATE BEYOND 55 MPH, EVEN WORSE ON HILLS. WE PULLED OVER AND ALLOWED CAR TO REST FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES. WE MANAGED TO GET HOME. THIS PROBLEM DID OCCUR ONCE OR TWICE OVER THE YEARS DURING DAILY CITY DRIVING BUT NEVER TO THIS EXTENT. OUR NORMAL DAY TO DAY DRIVING DOES NOT REQUIRE HIGHWAY/FREEWAY DRIVING.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (MORE THAN 70 MPH) AND THE OUTSIDE WEATHER IS HOT (80 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT OR HIGHER), THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DROPS ACCELERATION TO 60 MPH AFTER ABOUT 1.5 HOURS OF DRIVING, AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE ANY FASTER THAN THAT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES WITH THIS VEHICLE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE.

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO WARNING THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER. WHEN I HIT THE GAS THE RPM WENT UP BUT NO POWER . FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND AVOID GETTING HIT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BUT WHEN PUT IN DRIVE /GEAR THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE . I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MY HOME 30 MINUTES AWAY. THE MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT, THE CODE WAS FOR SPEED SENSOR. NOW LOOKING FOR A MECHANIC TO FIX IT . I EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT .

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR 2 HOURS OR MORE IT LOOSES SPEED. I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM TENESSE TO CHICAGO AND IT STARTED LOOSING RPM. I STARTED LOOSING SPEED AND HAD ISSUE GOING UP HILL. RPM WOULDN'T GO HIGHER THAN 2. I WAS IN A 70 MILE OPEN ROAD. EVENTUALLY I HAD TO PULL OVER AS I KEPT LOOSING SPEED. I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND SAW COMPLAINTS IN SITES ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. I WAITED 10 MINUTES TURNED IT ON AND IT RAN FINE. 2 HOURS LATER I HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A RISK ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE FAMILIES LIKE MYSELF.
