2013 Nissan Rogue

I WAS DRIVING FROM BLOOMINGTON CA TO PHOENIX AZ.. AS I APPROACHED AN INCLINE ON INTERSTATE 10 THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO CLIMB THE GRADE IT SUDDENLY BEGAN TO LOOSE SPEED AND POWER. A WHIRRING NOISE WAS COMEING FROM THE ENGINE /TRANSMISSION COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE QUICKLY BEGAN TO LOOSE POWER AND SPEED. IT QUICKLY WENT FROM 70 MPH TO ABOUT 10 MPH. I LUCKILY REACHED THE TOP OF THE GRADE AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I COULD NOT PULL OVER EARLIER BECAUSE LARGE SEMI-TRUCKS WERE HAVING TO GO AROUND ME. THIS CAUSED A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE IT IS ONLY A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AND I WAS IMPEDING TRAFFIC. WHEN I PULLED OVER I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND OPENED THE HOOD TO SEE IF THERE WAS SOME OBVIOUS REASON FOR THE PROBLEM. THERE WAS NOT.I LET THE ENGINE COOL A LIITLE THEN PROCEEDED ON TO SEE IF I COULD MAKE IT TO MY DESTINATION. I PROCEEDED AT A LOW SPEED UNTIL I GOT TO TO MY DESTINATION. I HAD NOTICED IN THE PAST SOME ISSUES WITH CLIMBING INCLINES BUT NEVER TO THE EXTENT EXPERIENCED PRESENTLY. I WENT TO THE DEALER IN AZ AND WAS TOLDIT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND WAS PROBABLY CAUSED BY TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING. SINCE THE TRIP WAS ONLY A COUPLE OF DAYS I WILL HAVE TO TRY TO MAKE IT HOME AS IS.

CAR WON'T TURN ON RANDOMLY. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY FIVE TIMES. EACH TIME THE CAR RANDOMLY STOPS WORKING EVERY FEW THOUSAND MILES. THE CAR WILL TAKE TEN OR ELEVEN TRIES TO START. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IF FOR ANY REASON WE EVER NEEDED TO LEAVE THE CAR CANNOT START QUICKLY. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY, NOT ALL THE TIME (SOMETIMES IT STARTS FINE AFTER ONE TURN, THE NEXT TIME IT COULD TAKE FIVE MINUTES TO FINALLY START, THEN GO BACK TO FINE). NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO TELL US WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF THIS DEFECT.

NISSIAN ROGUE 2013 LOOSES TRANSMISSION POWER CLIMBING UP LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH GRADES (CITY AND FREEWAY). FROM TOWN DRIVING TO CITY TO LONG DISTANCE TRAVELING ANY SORT OF GRADE. MY 2013 NISSAN ROGUE WENT FROM 65 MPH TO 10 MPH GOING UP THE "GRAPEVINE" ON HWY 5 IN CALIFORNIA. MY FOOT WAS ALL THE WAY FLOORED AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO PAST 10 MPH! LARGE BIG RIG TRUCKS WERE HONKING AT ME IN THE SLOW LANE AND ALMOST REAR-ENDED ME (TRUCKS COULD NOT CHANGE LANES INTO THE MIDDLE LANES DUE TO TRAFFIC)!! AS I SLOWLY CREPT UP THE STEEP GRADE (FROM BAKERSFIELD, CA TO LOS ANGELES, CA) AND THEN DESCENDED, MY CAR BEGAN TO PICK UP SPEED AGAIN. CAR WAS NOT OVERHEATED, NO UNUSUAL NOISES, SMOKE, OR WARNING LIGHTS. TOOK CAR INTO NISSAN SERVICE CENTER IN SAN DIEGO. LUCKILY, I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY SERVICED MY TRANSMISSION. THEY REPORTED TO ME THAT THIS IS A "KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2013 ROGUES." "MANY TRANSMISSIONS HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED IN THE NISSAN 2013 ROGUES DUE TO LOSS OF ACCELERATION POWER, WHETHER CITY OR FREEWAY DRIVING."! I WAS EXTREMELY SCARED AT THE IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER IN MY VEHICLE AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE ON THE GRADE WHILE BIG RIGS WERE COMING VERY CLOSE TO MY CAR! THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND CAN CAUSE FATALITIES!! BIG RIG TRUCKS CANNOT SLOW DOWN INSTANTLY AND IF THEY ARE BEHIND A NISSAN ROGUE THAT LOOSES ACCELERATION POWER!! THIS IS A FAMILY VEHICLE AND IT IS VERY SCARY TO THINK ABOUT THE LOSS OF LIFE BECAUSE NISSAN WAS NEGLIGENT IN RECALLING KNOWN TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I'VE RESEARCHED SIMILAR SITUATIONS AS WHAT I EXPERIENCED IN MY OWN 2013 NISSAN ROGUE AND THERE ARE MANY DOCUMENTED COMPLAINTS, MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENTS IN VEHICLES LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD, AND YET THE PROBLEM CONTINUES!

AFTER HAVING A TRANSMISSION FAIL IN APRIL 2017 AND HAVING IT REPLACED BY THE NISSAN DEALER IN COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO, I WAS SHOCKED WHEN MY 2013 ROGUE LOSING SPEED AND REFUSING TO ACCELERATE A YEAR LATER. I WAS DRIVING TO MY PARENTS ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY DOING ABOUT 55MPH. ABOUT 40 MINUTES INTO MY TRIP MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND WAS QUICKLY LOSING SPEED. I MANAGED TO LIMP IT TO MY PARENTS, ALREADY KNOWING WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THIS IS THE SECOND TRANSMISSION IN A VEHICLE THAT NOW HAS ONLY 112,000 MILES ON IT. IF I WERE TO REPLACE IT WOULD BE 3 TRANSMISSIONSIN 5 YEARS FOR THE CAR. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA IS NOT WILLING TO HELP, BUT SEEMS TO KNOW THIS IS HAPPENING TO NUMEROUS PEOPLE. THEY KNEW IT YEARS AGO BUT DID NOT CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION, INSTEAD CONTINUES TO INSTALL THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND MAKE MONEY WHEN THEIR PRODUCTS FAIL AND WE HAVE TO REPLACE AND REPAIR.

WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON COLORADO MOUNTAIN PASSES, THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THIS PUT ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION WITH THE OTHER TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD GOING 55MPH AND MY CAR NOT GOING FASTER THAN 20MPH. I TOOK IT TO WOODMEN NISSAN IN COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO WHERE I WAS TOLD THERE WERE METAL SHAVINGS IN THE TRANSMISSION PAN, AND IT NEEDED REPLACED. I HAD PURCHASED AN EXTRA INSURANCE PLAN FOR REPAIRS WITH THE CAR IN APRIL OF 2015, THE CAR HAD 29,000 WHEN PURCHASED FROM MODERN CLASSIC MOTORS IN GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO. I USED THIS INSURANCE TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED BY WOODMEN NISSAN IN APRIL 2017.

I HAVE A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. I HAVE HAD IT A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND AT RIGHT BELOW 60K MILES IT STARTED ACTING FUNNY. AT FIRST IT WAS LIKE IT WAS HAVING PROBLEMS SHIFTING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. WASN'T CONSTANT BUT HERE AND THERE. I TOOK IT IN TO A MECHANIC AN THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. I KEPT DRIVING IT. LATER ON IT STARTED TO JUMP ON FLAT ROADS, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP STILL NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I THEN WAS HAVING TROUBLE GOING UP HILLS, AN EVENTUALLY I WOULD LOOSE SPEED AN COULDN'T GO ANYWHERE. I HAD TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY AND WAIT 20 MINUTES, THEN MY CAR WOULD BE FINE AGAIN, UNTIL THE NEXT BIG HILL. I BROUGHT IT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP THEY SAID I NEEDED MY TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED SO I PAID THE $200 AN HAD IT CHANGED OR FLUSHED OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT THEY DO. I STILL HAD PROBLEMS TO THE POINT WHERE NOW MY CAR IS NOT MOVING. I BROUGHT IT BACK AN THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP NOW SAID THAT I HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION AN IT WAS GOING TO BE VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX, THAT I SHOULD JUST REPLACE IT. BUT WHY? MY CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD AN HAS LESS THEN 60K MILES ON IT. IVE HEARD PLENTY OF STOIRES OF ROGUES DOING THIS, I FEEL LIKE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OF SOME SORT.
