TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO EXCEED 3,000 RPM. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

AFTER DRIVING FOR SEVERAL HOURS ON THE INTERSTATE THE CAR STARTED LOSING POWER AND WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 60 MPH

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT THE SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AND WAS COMING UP TO A SMALL HILL. THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AS NORMAL TO GET UP THE HILL. AS SOON AS I BEGAN TO DESCEND THE HILL, THE CAR WAS STILL TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND THE RPMS STARTED TO GET UP TO THE 6000S. I IMMEDIATELY TURN OF CRUISE CONTROL AND LET THE RPMS GO BACK DOWN BEFORE TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO STAY GOING TO SPEED LIMIT. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE RPMS WOULD GO UP QUICKLY WITH BARELY ANY TOUCH TO THE GAS PEDAL, SO I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR GAVE ME NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER AND LEFT ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHILE TRYING TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AT A SAFE SPEED WITH 18-WHEELER TRUCKS HAVING TO SLOW DOWN AND GO AROUND ME CAUSING OTHER CARS TO SLAM ON THEIR BREAKS TO AVOID REAR-ENDING THE TRUCKS.

ANYTIME I DRIVE MORE THAN 30 MINUTES MY ACCELERATION DOESN'T WORK. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE IF I STOP AT A STOPLIGHT AND IT TAKES A BIT BEFORE MY CAR WILL START DRIVING AGAIN. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I GET HIT FROM BEHIND BECAUSE CARS THINK I SHOULD BE MOVING BUT MY CAR IS INCAPABLE OF IT. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY.

WHILES DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AFTER A FEW HOURS MY CAR LOST POWER. PRESS THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR WILL NOT GO ANY FASTER. LOOK LIKE THE TRANSMISSION LOOSING POWER VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION NISSAN AND LEGAL AUTHORITIES SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS.

WHILE TAKING EXTENDED DRIVES, THE RPM'S BEGIN TO INCREASE AND THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO LOOSE POWER SLOWING DOWN TO THE POINT WHERE IT COMPLETELY LOSES POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST SIX TIMES ON THE ROAD, FIVE ON BUSY INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS. ALL INSTANCES THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING IN EXCESS OF 60MPH. NISSAN KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM WITH ITS CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL BULLETIN. NISSAN'S TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NTB14-002D, WHICH DESCRIBES THE ISSUE AS THE CVT GOING INTO FAIL-SAFE AFTER CONTINUOUS OPERATION UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1) HIGH RPM AND/OR DRIVING SPEEDS OF 65 MPH FOR 1.0 - 1.5 HOURS OR MORE, 2) DRIVING IN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE OF 96 DEGREES OR HIGHER, 3) CLIMBING STEEP OR EXTENDED HILLS FOR 6 MILES OR MORE, AND 4) WHINE OR RATTLE NOISE OCCURRING DURING REDUCED ENGINE PERFORMANCE (VEHICLE SPEED DECREASE). IN THE CASE OF MY VEHICLE, THESE CONDITIONS WERE PRESENT IN MOST OF THE CASES (FOUR OF THE SIX TIMES), IN TWO INSTANCES AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WAS NOT A FACTOR (NOVEMBER AND FEBRUARY TRAVEL) AND IN ONE INSTANCE, CLIMBING STEEP OR EXTENDED HILLS WAS NOT A FACTOR. NOW THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE SLIPPING DURING SHORT, LOCAL, TRIPS. THIS BEGAN OCCURRING AT APPROX. 36,000 MILES AND THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 90,000 MILES (THIS REPORT TO NHITSA IS FOR THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT ON 5/20/19). I DON'T TAKE LONG TRIPS FREQUENTLY (10 IS PROBABLY THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF LONG TRIPS I HAVE MADE IN THIS CAR). NISSAN HAS IDENTIFIED A PROBLEM WITH 2008-2010 CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE ROGUE TO 10 YRS./120,000 MILES; THE SAME SHOULD BE DONE WITH THIS MODEL AS WELL. IT IS UNSAFE AND UNACCEPTABLE. I'VE TALKED TO THREE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND ALL THREE HAVE WILDLY DIFFERENT ANSWERS (AND PRICES). I DON'T WHICH DEALER TO TRUST, AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BETTER TO REPAIR IT OR TRADE IT. EITHER WAY, I CAN'T AFFORD IT.

AFTER DRIVING ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF IN 90 DEGREES WITH AIR CONDITIONER ON, THE RPMS JOLTED UPWARDS WHILE MY CAR BEGAN TO DECELERATE. IT FELT LIKE IT POPPED OUT OF GEAR AND I WAS CAREENING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN NEUTRAL. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE RODE AND LET IT SET FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. I THEN HAD TO TAKE BACK ROADS AND DRIVE UNDER 50 MPH WITH OUT AIR CONDITIONER, BUT MADE IT HOME. I BROUGHT IT IN TO MAPLEWOOD KLEIN NISSAN DEALER AND DEVICE. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND SAID THERE WAS AN INTERMITTENT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION, AT $4200, AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 139000 MILES. THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND FILE A COMPLAINT. THEY SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND NISSAN COMPANY HAS BEEN HELPING WITH REPAIRS, ANYWHERE BETWEEN 30-70%. HOWEVER, AFTER SEVERAL PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS, I WAS INFORMED BY THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT THEY DO NOT HELP CUSTOMERS WITH THIS ISSUE IF PAST THE 60000 MILES OR 5 YEARS. I ASKED HOW THE OTHER CUSTOMERS WHERE ABLE TO GET HELP, DESPITE BEING PAST THE WARRANTY, AND I WAS TOLD NISSAN WAS IN NO POSITION TO HELP ME. I SAID IT WAS DANGEROUS T DRIVE AND THE CVT SHOULD NOT BE GOING OUT THIS SOON. I ALSO STRESSED THAT RESEARCH SHOWS MANY CUSTOMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AND SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION THEY PUT IN THE CARS. I WAS TOLD NO HELP WOULD BE GIVEN, THANK YOU FOR CALLING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DOWNSHIFT. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER AND TOWED HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

I'VE BEEN HAVE SHAKING AND DELAYS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. IT HAS ALTOGETHER FAILED NOW AND I'VE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE THE END 2017. IT DIDN'T LAST TWO YEARS. THERE IS NO WAY I WILL REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AGAIN. SHAME ON NISSAN FOR NOT VALUING THEIR CUSTOMERS ENOUGH TO FIX THE CVT PROBLEMS. IF YOU'VE SETTLED IN COURT, THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL ON ALL CVT TRANSMISSIONS. I WISH I KNEW ABOUT THE CVT ISSUES, I WOULD HAVE STEERED CLEAR OF NISSAN VEHICLES. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WHEN IT WENT OUT. COULDN'T ACCELERATE AT A STOP LIGHT.

TORQUE CONVERTER MALFUNCTION DIAGNOSTIC CODE P0744 REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION AT 66,000. NOTICED STALLING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

MY DAUGHTER WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN SHE TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AFTER A FEW MINS & A TRIP TO ADVANCE AUTO PARTS & THEN A MECHANIC SHE WAS TOLD TO BRING IT HOME. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SHE PULLED INTO ANOTHER ADVANCED AUTO PARTS AND THEY RESET IT. SHE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING OVER 50 MPH ON BACK ROADS AND THE INTERSTATE SEVERAL MORE TIMES. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. WE WERE TOLD SHE NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AND IT ONLY HAS 82K MILES. SHE'S A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT AND DOESN'T HAVE $3,700 SO THE CAR JUST SITS WHILE SHE STILL MAKES PAYMENTS.

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, MY CAR LOST ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SPEED UP, EVEN WHEN I PRESS THE GAS TO THE FLOOR. THE ENGINE JUST REVS UP. I WAS GOING UP A HILL IN A BUSY SECTION OF TOWN AND WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT AS THE PERSON BEHIND ME DID NOT REALIZE I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

IT APPEARS THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FILED. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NOT EVEN A MONTH AGO BUT IT'S PAST THE WARRANTY

WE WERE TRAVELING DOWN I 65 IN KENTUCKY AT INTERSTATE SPEED WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JUST LOST POWER. THE CAR WOULD BARELY GO 40MPH. WE WERE ONLY A FEW MILES FROM HOME SO WE LIMPED THE CAR HOME. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR ON THE 18TH 2 DAYS BEFORE. THE PROBLEM IS THE CVT TRANSMISSION BUT THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO ADMIT THAT IS WHAT'S WRONG. GILLIE HYDE IN GLASGOW KY. I'M A PARALYZED ARMY VET AND LIVE ON A FIXED INCOME AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPAIR THE CAR. NISSAN KNEW THE PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS BUT CHOSE TO CONTINUE MANUFACTURING THE 2013 ROGUE KNOWING THE HAZARDOUS TRANSMISSION AND HOW IT COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS.

2013 NISSAN ROGUE HAS ACCELERATION PROBLEMS WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. IT WON'T ACCELERATE AND SOMETIMES STALLS OUT. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING LONG PERIODS OF TIME OR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE UP A HILL.

2013 NISSAN ROGUE, 100,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE SOUTH DOWN THE INTERSTATE FROM CHARLESTON TO ORLANDO, ~70 MPH, DRIVING NORMALLY IN JUNE 2019. AROUND THE GA/FL BORDER, WHEN I WOULD HIT THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE, THE SPEDOMETER WOULDN'T GO HIGHER. THE ENGINE WOULD REV, AND THE RPMS WOULD INCREASE TO 3-4,000. HAPPENED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES UNTIL I GOT TO AN OFF-RAMP. AFTER THE CAR COOLED DOWN FOR 45 MINUTES, WE GOT BACK ON THE ROAD SINCE IT WAS A SUNDAY NIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE GA, KINGSTON TO BE EXACT. IT DROVE WELL FOR THE REST OF THE DRIVE DOWN TO ORLANDO WITH STOPS EVERY HOUR. SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY UP FROM ORLANDO TO CHARLOTTE, RPMS WENT UP, SPEDOMETER DIDN'T MOVE. LET THE CAR COOL AND THEN IT DROVE FINE AT LOWER SPEEDS. TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHEN I GOT BACK AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE TRANSMISSION AS HAVING A FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER, P0744 WAS THE CODE THAT CAME BACK. 12 HOURS OF LABOR, SAYING THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. FOUND THE SERVICE BULLETIN: NTB16-090, AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S SPOT ON, HAPPENED AFTER PROLONGED DRIVING IN HIGH TEMPERATURES. AFTER READING THE BULLETIN, IT CONNECTS THE DOTS FOR WHY MY ENGINE WOULD SOUND WEIRD WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS, THE ENGINE WOULD START TO SOUND REALLY TRYING AFTER SOME TIME. SAW THAT A NUMBER OF NISSAN VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSIONS, AND I DON'T KNOW WHY NISSAN 2013 ROGUES HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED YET.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE GOING 65 - 70 MPH AFTER 1 HR DRIVING CAR SUDDENLY STOOPED ACCELERATING. I PULLED OFF ON AN EXIT AND REACHED A STOP LIGHT. WHEN I PUSHED ON GAS PEDAL THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE RIGHT AWAY. HAPPENED AT TWO SETS OF LIGHTS. SHUT THE CAR OFF FOR 20 MINUTES AND STARTED DRIVING AGAIN AND IT SEEMED OK. DRIVING OK SHORT DISTANCES WHILE I WAS IN MAINE. ON MY WAY HOME TO MASSACHUSETTS AFTER 1 HR OF DRIVING ON INTERSTATE GOING 60 - 70 MPH AGAIN I LOST ACCELERATION. HAD TO PULL OVER AND SIT ANOTHER 20 MINUTES. I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE MY DRIVE AFTER SITTING AND LETTING IT COOL DOWN.

TAKATA RECALL; WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE CAR WILL DECELERATE RAPIDLY AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE EVEN IF YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. THE CVT TRANSMISSION DOESN'T HAVE AN EXTERNAL COOLER. IF YOU RUN THE AIR CONDITIONING WHILE GOING FASTER THAN 45 MPH THE CAR LOOSES SPEED AND POWER. THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON: HTTP://M.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NISSAN/ROGUE/2013/TRANSMISSION/LOSS_OF_ACCELERATION.SHTML

THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000 MILES. TOOK INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE BECAUSE OF ROUGH IDLING, LOSS OF ACCELERATION AND A WHINING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING.

TAKATA RECALL. THIS WOULD BE MY SECOND TIME CHANGING THIS TRANSMISSION. FIRST TIME WAS WHEN MY CAR DIDN'T WANNA ACCELERATE AND GOT STUCK ON 40 MPH INSTEAD OF 70 MILES PER HOUR. MY NISSAN AT THE TIME HAD ONLY 50,000 MILES. MY NISSAN RIGHT NOW HAS OVER 150,000 AND THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AGAIN. DID A TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND NOTHING.
