2010 Nissan Rogue

AFTER DRIVING ABOUT AN HOUR, THE CVT NO LONGER WORKS AND THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE, EVEN IF YOU PUT THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. IT WILL NOT GO ABOVE 2,000 RPMS AND IF YOU GO UP A HILL YOU WILL LOSE ACCELERATIONS. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY AFTER AN HOUR OR MORE OF DRIVING. THE ONLY WAY TO TEMPORARILY FIX THE ISSUE IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF FOR A WHILE. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED MAJOR ACCIDENTS ON THE HIGHWAY.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH ON A HOT DAY 90 DEGREES. I WAS USING MAX A/C. CAR WAS FINE AND SUDDENLY FELT SLUGGISH AND WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. I PULLED OFF AT NEXT AVAILABLE EXIT, AFTER A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR REFUSED TO MOVE THEN SUDDENLY ACCELERATED SLOWLY SIMILAR TO WHEN AN ABRUPT BRAKE IS APPLIES AND CAR MOVES VERY SLOWLY (EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION ALL THE ROUGES HAVE) I SHUT OFF THE A/C AND LET CAR REST FOR 5 MINUTES THEN GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY, ALTHOUGH FEELING SLUGGISH I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION. ON MY RIDE HOME SEVERAL HOURS LATER I DID NOT USE A/C AND OUTSIDE TEMPS HAD DROPPED TO MID 70, THE CAR APPEARED FINE. I WILL NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM ALSO OCCURRED 2 YEARS EARLIER IN THE SUMMER OF 2013 AT 87,000 MILES DURING ANOTHER LONG HIGHWAY TRIP DRIVING IN HIGH TEMPS. IN THIS CASE I CANCELLED TRIP AND BROUGHT CAR TO THE DEALER AFTER COOL DOWN PERIOD, THE PROBLEM DIDN'T PRESENT ITSELF, NO DASH LIGHTS OR CODES SAME AS PREVIOUS. THE DEALER CHARGED ME $1800.00 TO CHANGE DIRTY TRANSMISSION FLUID. PROBLEM IS BACK AGAIN AT 112,000 MILES. THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS THAT IS "DANGEROUS". HAD I NEEDED TO COME TO AN ABRUPT STOP ON THE HIGHWAY I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY AND AS A SEPARATE ISSUE WHEN YOU ABRUPTLY BRAKE THE CAR CAN'T GET OUT OF IT'S OWN WAY AND HAS SCARED ME SEVERAL TIMES.

GOING AT FREEWAY SPEED...COULD NOT ACCELERATE, NEITHER TO PASS NOR TO RECOVER FROM HAVING TO SLOW DOWN FOR TRAFFIC. WHEN PRESSING DOWN THE GAS PEDAL, NOTHING HAPPENED: NO ACCELERATION AND NO INCREASE IN RPM. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS GOING UP A HILL. NOW IT HAPPENS ANY TIME I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 30 MINUTES OR MORE, FLAT ROAD OR INCLINE. THE CAR DOES FINE INITIALLY AND DURING NORMAL STOP AND GO CITY DRIVING FOR SHORT DURATIONS. THOUGHT PERHAPS IT WAS A CLOGGING IN FUEL INJECTORS, SO CLEANED THEM OUT TO NO AVAIL. DEALER SAYS THEY "CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG." THIS IS A DANGEROUS FLAW THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY NISSAN!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE SLIP AND VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL OFF WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE RPM INCREASED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE BRAKES OPERATED AS NORMAL AND SUGGESTED USING A FUEL INJECTOR OR CLEANER TO RESOLVE THE FAILURE. A FUEL INJECTOR WAS USED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.
