2011 Nissan Rogue VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

AFTER TRAVELING AN HOUR OR SO ON THE INTERSTATE AT POSTED SPEED LIMITS THE VEHICLE LOOSES ACCELERATION SLOWLY TILL IT WILL NOT GO ANYMORE. HAVE HAD TO PULL OFF AT AN EXIT ONCE & THE SHOULDER TWICE NOW. NO LOSS IN POWER TO THE VEHICLE. IT JUST WONT GO. SAT FOR 30 MINUTES WITH THE HOOD UP TO ALLOW IT TO COOL. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE OTHER 30 MINUTES OF THE TRIP. SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY TOOK CARE OF THE OLDER ROGUES, BUT NOT THE 2011 WITH THE SAME CVT TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE HAS WORKED FINE FOR THE 150K MILES IT HAS ON IT. JUST A VERY UNSAFE ISSUE THIS VEHICLE IS HAVING. NO CONFIDENCE ON MY DAUGHTER TRAVELING IN IT BACK & FORTH TO COLLEGE ANYMORE WITH IT ACTING THIS WAY. HOPEFULLY NISSAN WILL STEP UP & CORRECT THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE TRAVELING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DID NOT RESPOND ONCE DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 63,000.

MY 2011 NISSAN ROGUE HAS EXPERIENCED ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AFTER DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 70 MILES. IF I HAVE TO BRAKE ON THE HIGHWAY, THEN IT TAKES MY CAR A LONG TIME TO ACCELERATE BACK UP(RPM'S ARE HIGH) AND SOMETIMES CANNOT GO ABOVE 50 MPH AS CARS ARE WHIZZING BY ME. ONCE THIS ISSUE STARTS, IT CONTINUES, EVEN IF I AM AT A LOWER SPEED OR FROM A STOPPING POSITION. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS! I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND SAID THAT NISSAN IS ADDING A COOLER KIT TO THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THEY THINK THE PROBLEM IS FROM THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING. THEY WANT ANYWHERE FROM $800-1,200 TO INSTALL THE COOLING KIT. WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS IF NISSAN IS HAVING TO ADD A KIT TO COOL DOWN THE TRANSMISSION? OBVIOUSLY, IT'S A DEFAULT IN THE TRANSMISSION AND HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY ON LOTS OF VEHICLES. ACCORDING TO A WEBSITE, NISSAN HAS AN EXTENDED CVT WARRANTY FOR 2003-2010 NISSAN ROGUES, BUT NOTHING AFTER THAT EVEN THOUGH NEWER CARS (2014) ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. DO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FIRST BEFORE THEY DO A RECALL? IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HARD TO RECREATE AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO GET THE TRANSMISSION WARM AND THAT USUALLY TAKES A LONGER DISTANCE TO DRIVE. ALSO, THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT COME ON TO INDICATE A PROBLEM SO THIS MALFUNCTION JUST CATCHES YOU BY SURPRISE! I HOPE NHTSA GETS INVOLVED AND TELLS NISSAN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ON THEIR DIME, NOT OURS. I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN AND WILL BE SURE TO WARN MY FRIENDS OF THIS DEADLY SITUATION.

I WAS AT THE STOP SIGN ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN FROM A BANK PARKING LOT, WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE TO THE LEFT WITH GREAT SPEED TOWARDS A MAJOR HIGHWAY JUST A FEW FEET AWAY. I TURNED MY WHEEL TO THE LEFT SO TO AVOID GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY AND BE HIT BY TRAFFIC. MY CAR WENT OVER THE METAL FENCE , THEN OVER A HILL AND ENDED UP ON TOP OF ANOTHER SET OF NEW CARS AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. BOTH SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE CAR IS TOTALED. THE CAR TOTALLY LOST CONTROL....AT THIS TIME I DO NOT HAVE PICTURES OR A POLICE REPORT AVAILABLE.

AFTER BEING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, THE CAR WILL NO LONGER ACCELERATE. IT WILL HOLD A CONSTANT SPEED BUT WILL NOT INCREASE. IF SPEED DROPS IT WILL NOT INCREASE BEYOND THE CURRENT SPEED. CRUISE CONTROL KICKS OFF. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR OVER HEATING. MECHANIC COULD NOT DIAGNOSE.

SINCE PURCHASING MY 201 ROGUE IN 2012, WITH 4,000 MILES ON IT, WHENEVER DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 35-40 MINUTES, HAVE TOTAL LOSS OF ACCELERATION. HAPPENS ON HIGHWAY, DURNING DRIVING AROUND TOWN AND FROM A COMPLETE STOP. OCCURS NO MATTER THE TIME OF YEAR OR THE WEATHER CONDITIONS. RESEARCHED AND FOUND ON LINE THIS HAPPENS TO MULTITUDES OF OWNERS OF NISSAN 4CYL VEHICLES WITH CVT. NO FIX HAS BEEN NOTED, JUST WAITING FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH, BEFORE NISSAN OR GOVERNMENT DOES ANYTHING. CAN NOT AFFORD TO JUST GO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE. WILL NOT EVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN 4CYL WITH THE CVT. DISAPPOINTED, CONCERNED AND HOPING I AM NOT THE FATALITY,

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE ON ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CRUISE CUTS OFF AND THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION. I PRESZED THE GASS PEDAL AND RPMS WENT UP BUT VEHICLE STILL DID NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO GO OVER 40 MPH. I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY FOUR CHILDREN AND VERY LUCKY THAT THERE WAS T ANYONE BEHIND ME SO INWAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER.

THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR OVERHEATS AFTER DRIVING (SLIGHTLY) UPHILL FOR OVER 5 MILES OR ANYTIME IT'S DRIVEN OVER AN HOUR. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO LOSE ACCELERATION. MOST RECENTLY, IT OVERHEATED SO BADLY THAT I COULD PUSH THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT DIDN'T MOVE AT ALL. I'VE SINCE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF, BUT IS NOT OFFERING TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR STATE A RECALL. THEY WILL INSTALL A TRANSMISSION COOLING KIT FOR $850 AT THE CONSUMER'S EXPENSE. THE EXPENSE ASIDE, CONSUMERS NEED TO BE MADE AWARE OF THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT AS LOSS OF ACCELERATION AT HIGH SPEEDS CAN CAUSE DEADLY ACCIDENTS. NISSAN NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS.

I WAS DRIVING FROM DENVER TO RATON, NM. ON I-25 OUTSIDE PUEBLO, I WAS GOING ABOUT 80 MILES AN HOUR UP A HILL. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE SPEED QUICKLY DROPPED TO 45 MPH. I HAD THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PUT MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON, SO OTHER DRIVERS WOULD KNOW I WAS HAVING CAR TROUBLE. THIS HAPPENED ON FOUR OR MORE INCLINES INCLUDING RATON PASS WHERE I COULDN'T GET THE CAR OVER 25 MPH UNTIL I WAS GOING DOWNHILL. ON THE RETURN DRIVE, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. ON MY DRIVE TO BRECKENRIDGE A FEW DAYS AGO, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND QUICKLY LOSING SPEED ON THE FREEWAY IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I WILL GET A DIFFERENT CAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. ONCE I STARTED RESEARCHING ONLINE, I SAW SEVERAL OTHER ROGUE OWNERS' COMMENTS ABOUT THIS KNOWN BUT IGNORED ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A LONG ROAD TRIP, TWO HOURS INTO THE RIDE MY 2011 NISSAN ROGUE DECELERATED AND WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 60 MPH. I WAS GOING ABOUT 75 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT DECELERATED, WHILE I WAS FLOORING THE GAS TO 60MPH. THE GAS PEDDLE WAS COMPLETELY FLOORED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS FIGHTING TO STAY AT 60 MPH. THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING WAS LOUD SOUNDING LIKE IT HAD NO POWER. THEN WHEN I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A STOP THE CAR WAS VERY DELAYED TO ACCELERATE AT ALL, AS IF IT HAD NO POWER. I REFUELED AT A LITTLE OVER A HALF TANK AND FOR THE FIRST TIME THE GAS GAUGE DID NOT REGISTER THE CORRECT MILES OR MOVE THE DIAL. ONCE I BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN, AFTER 20 MINUTES THE CAR AGAIN SLOWED AND WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 60MPH. ONCE RESTARTING THE ENGINE THE GAS GAUGE DID READ ACCURATELY. THIS OCCURRED ONCE BEFORE WHEN THE ROGUE HAD ABOUT 70K MILES ON IT AND THIS LAST INCIDENT THE CAR HAS 96K MILES. ON THE FIRST OCCASION THE ROUGE WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 50MPH. I BOUGHT THE ROGUE BRAND AND HAVE KEPT UP WITH THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE. THIS NEVER HAPPENED WHILE LIVING IN NY AND SEEMED TO START WHEN DRIVING OVER AN HOUR OR SO ON THE HIGHWAY, IN THE FLORIDA HEAT. I DID NOT TAKE IT TO GET CHECKED OUT AFTER READING VARIOUS FORUMS THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE NISSAN WILL NOT FIX.
