2013 Nissan Rogue

While driving up a mountain with no guard rails, my car lost power and failed to accelerate. The car was still running and I had the gas pedal pressed all the way to the floor but we weren’t moving. I then had to reverse my car down a narrow, no guard rail mountain road, while also directing traffic coming at us and behind us to go around my vehicle. All with my 68 year old father and 62 year old stepmom passengers who were terrified; I was also but had to hold it together to get my family to safety. I finally reversed us to a switchback that had enough pavement for me to carefully turn the car around and drive down the mountain road to safety. There were no warning lights or symptoms before the failure occurred. Then while driving home on regular highway, the check engine light came on (solid, not flashing). I drove to my house and haven’t driven or started car since. My car is available for inspection upon request. This vehicle had the CVT transmission replaced under warranty around 30,000 miles and I suspect it has failed again.

reduced performance due to CVT fluid temperature protection logic. after driving car in 90 degree weather on highway, the car will fail to accelerate when I exit and come to a stop light. after the stop the car will fail to accelerate and i end up driving too slow thru an intersection which is extremely dangerous. this has been happening for years with this Rogue and i now only drive it very short distances for fear it will fail. this seems to be a common occurrence with Nissan cars but no one told me before i bought it. the dealer says it's not under warranty so they suggested i pay them $6000 to replace it. they sent a bulletin about this NTB16-090

The powertrain component that failed was the transmission system, and it is currently available for inspection upon request. This malfunction posed a significant safety risk as the car abruptly stalled in the middle of a busy highway, putting both myself and other road users in imminent danger. The issue was subsequently reproduced and confirmed by an independent service center. Notably, a week prior to the failure, the car's dashboard DOES NOT displayed a warning light and message indicating a transmission problem, which was the first sign of this issue.

While driving, the vehicle failed to maintain speed. The cruise control would cut out and the vehicle struggled to accelerate. While attempting to merge onto freeways the vehicle would attempt to accelerate and then it would not shift causing the vehicle to be much slower. This occurred while I was driving cross country to move. The CVT transmission is the culprit. I am being told my VIN is not covered despite there being a known issue with these transmissions during the model year. This issue occurred without warning and compromised my safety and the safety of other drivers as the transmission would fail to shift unexpectedly at critical moments during driving.

I am filing a claim here today because I feel that Nissan has ripped me off in coverage of my Nissan Rouge. I was told by 4 different people about the CVT Transmission problem that has been going on with Nissan Rouge Vehicles. I was stranded on the side of the interstate 84 with two small children. I had to get into an UBER because tow truck couldn't allow more than 2 in truck. Of course I could not leave 1 child. My vehicle should be covered under warranty because this is a known problem with Nissan Rouge vehicles. However, Nissan is not covering this issue on my vehicle.

While driving home from vacation I started noticing my car wasn't letting me drive over 65 mph. It felt like the car need to shift but wouldn't. I pulled over and turned my car off. Opened the hood of the car and everything seemed ok. When I got back on the road and started to pass traffic my car wouldn't engage when pushing on the petal. I had multiple cars behind me that needed to brake for me to be able to get back over into another lane so they could drive past me. My engine light then turned on. I could not drive over 65 when pushing the petal all the way to the floor. I stopped by an auto supply store and they helped me read my engine light. The code stated P0744/ Torque converter clutch circuit intermittent. I have made an appointment to get car looked out and have been told they believe it is my CVT. My car is just at 80,000 miles.

Transmission is the issue. It is available for inspection. I have to have my transmission fluid changed every 8,000 miles - my car will stop at red lights/stop signs. The RPM’s will go up but the car will not move. This has almost caused multiple accidents as the car behind me thinks I am going when I cannot move. If I stop, I may not get going for several seconds. It’s taken up to a couple minutes at times. This has been looked at by our mechanic and it does this for him as well. There are NO warnings. No check engine light, no change in the car. No signs of this happening. It is terrifying not knowing when this may happen. The transmission fluid is black when we get it changed after inly 8,000 miles.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the passenger’s side seat belt signaled that the seat belt was detached despite being correctly attached. The horn also failed intermittently. The contact spoke to the dealer and was informed that the horn and seat belt failure was related to an electrical failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
