2013 Nissan Rogue

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAD IT TOWED HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO AUTOCOM NISSAN OF CONCORD (1290 CONCORD AVE, CONCORD, CA 94520, (925) 275-534) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED AND A NEWER MODEL TRANSMISSION WAS NEEDED THAT HAD A COOLING KIT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED A CASE NUMBER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,800.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEED REDUCED TO 20 MPH AS THE VEHICLE WAS BEING PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART, BUT SHUT OFF AGAIN EVEN WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AND WAS SLOWLY DRIVEN HOME. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE DEALER (ABELOFF NISSAN, 3259 PA-611, BARTONSVILLE, PA 18321, (877) 715-4935) STATED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE. AFTER THE VEHICLE LEFT THE DEALER, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC CONFIRMED THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE, BUT THE DEALER INSISTED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE AND SENT THE CONTACT A COMPUTER PRINTOUT TO BACK UP THEIR OPINION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,300. *TT CONSUMER STATED CAR MAKES NOISE ONCE IN AWHILE WHEN SHE STEPS ON THE GAS PEDAL. UPDATED 11/21/18JB

I WAS TRAVELLING ON THE HIGHWAY UP A LONG INCLINE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STOPPED WORKING AND THE CAR BEGAN TO DECELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, THEN RESTARTED IT AND TRIED TO GO AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD NOT ENGAGE. THERE WERE NO HAZARD LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND CAR TEMPERATURE WAS FINE. APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES THE CAR STAR WORKING NORMALLY AND I GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR DROVE OKAY FOR A WHILE BUT ON THE NEXT BIG HILL THE ACCELERATOR FAILED AGAIN, THIS TIME THE CVT (TRANSMISSION) INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER WAITING ANOTHER 15 MINUTES, THE CAR WAS STILL NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE ACCELERATOR WAS SLUGGISH AND UNRELIABLE. I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME BY DRIVING SLOWLY ON BACK ROADS, BUT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE IT AGAIN UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED.

I HAD JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP NINE MONTHS PREVIOUSLY. WE WERE LEAVING FOR A FAMILY VACATION FROM SOUTH DAKOTA TO COLORADO. JUST BEFORE DENVER, MY NISSAN ROGUE LOST POWER, I WOULD HAVE THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR TRYING TO MANEUVER THROUGH DENVER TRAFFIC. WE HAD A CLOSE CALL WITH AN EIGHTEEN WHEELER WHOM WAS TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC AND MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE TO GET OUT OF HIS WAY. AFTER ARRIVING IN COLORADO SPRINGS AND FINDING A NISSAN DEALER WHO WOULD LOOK AT IT AND RESEARCHING THE PROBLEMS OF OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME CAR, WE WERE WITHOUT A CAR FOR 2 OF THE 5 DAYS OF OUR VACATION, WHICH WAS A REAL BUMMER FOR OUR FAMILY. OVER $3500 LATER (THANK GOD I HAD ENOUGH CREDIT ON MY CREDIT CARD), AFTER INSTALLING A COOLER FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND REPLACING THE VALVE BODY WE WERE ABLE TO GET BACK HOME. NOW I HAVE A HIGH INTEREST CREDIT CARD BALANCE TO PAY THAT OFF. I AM REALLY STRESSED FINANCIALLY I CANNOT AFFORD THIS AND AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT ARE IDENTICAL, I ALSO THINK I GOT OVERCHARGED BY NISSAN DEALER IN COLORADO BY OVER $1000. IT RUINED OUR VACATION WHICH ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE EVERY OTHER YEAR MODEL OF THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS 2013 HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AND IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I FEEL I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS EXPENSE AND TIME TAKEN FROM MY FAMILY. THANK YOU.

THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND ON HIGHWAY OR HIGHER SPEED SITUATIONS-THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THE GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE BUT ACTUALLY DECELERATES FURTHER. IF TRAFFIC SLOWS AND THE DRIVER REMOVES A FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATION PEDAL TO SLOW A BIT, SPEED CANNOT BE REGAINED AND THE CAR IS LEFT AT A VERY SLOW SPEED IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC CREATING A SAFETY RISK. THE CAR HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A NEED FOR A COSTLY ADD ON PART (CVT COOLER KIT) TO PREVENT THE TRANSMISSION FROM OVERHEATING AND GOING INTO LIMP MODE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT WAS OCCURRING IN OUR 2009 NISSAN ROGUE MODEL AND ACKNOWLEDGED BY NISSAN AND REPAIRED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY ARE DENYING REPAIR TO OUR 2013 NISSAN ROGUE FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WHICH WE HAD HOPED TO HAVE BEEN CORRECTED PRIOR TO PURCHASE OF THE 2013 MODEL. THIS A HIGH RISK SAFETY ISSUE WITH NO ACCELERATION POWER IN HIGH SPEED SETTINGS AS WELL AS OTHER SITUATIONS. THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN WITHOUT DANGER TO OUR LIVES OR EXTREME RISK FOR BEING IN OR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

WE WERE DRIVING ON I-70 IN CENTRAL KS, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, AT A SPEED OF 75MPH, WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL SHUT OFF, AND THE CAR SLOWED TO 60MPH WITH NO WARNING, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, OR ANYTHING. I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE 60 MPH WITH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. OTHER DRIVERS AND SEMIS WERE SWERVING AND DODGING US, THERE WAS NO SAFE PLACE TO GET OFF OF THE ROAD. MY WIFE, SON AND GRANDDAUGHTER WERE ALL IN THE CAR, AND WE WERE ALL AFRAID OF BEING HIT BY AN ANY DRIVER WHO DIDN'T HAPPEN TO REALIZE THAT WE WERE NOT GOING THE SPEED LIMIT. WE LIMPED THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN SALINA, KS WHO TOLD US THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD OVERHEATED, BECAUSE NISSAN DID NOT INSTALL A TRANSMISSION COOLER, AND THE VALVE BODY HAD BURNT UP. THE DEALER TOLD US IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT IT. THE COST TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE IS $2700. WE CONTACTED NISSAN, AND WERE TOLD ESSENTIALLY, IT'S YOURS, TOO BAD. YOU BOUGHT IT WITH 73000 MILES ON IT, AND IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. WE HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR 5 WEEKS. I FEEL THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND WE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION'S VALVE BODY. WHAT IS MOST CONCERNING IS NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT IT AND IS REFUSING TO ASSIST IN THE REPAIR OF THE VEHICLE, OR EVEN ADMIT THAT IT HAS PROBLEMS. SINCE THE INCIDENT, I HAVE FOUND MANY REVIEWS OF THIS VEHICLE WHERE THE REVIEWER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM (10 ON EDMUNDS.COM, ALONE!)
