2013 Nissan Rogue

WHEN DRIVING IN THE SUMMER HEAT AND GOING UP A HILL OR FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, THE CAR STARTS TO SLOW DOWN, EVEN IF YOU PUSH THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. IT IS SCARY WHEN YOU ARE NEEDING TO TURN OUT INTO AN INTERSECTION FOR INSTANCE, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T MOVE THE CAR OUT OF THE WAY QUICKLY ENOUGH, WHICH A PERSON COULD BE HIT BY OTHER ONCOMING CARS. I WAS NEVER TOLD THAT THE CAR HAS THIS PROBLEM AND AFTER THE FIRST TIME THAT IT HAPPENED TO ME, I TOOK IT INTO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT PROBLEM IS COMMON WITH THE 2013 ROGUES. SO AFTER LEARNING THAT, I HAVE GONE ONLINE AND FOUND THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR ROGUES. I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO KNOW THAT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THAT CAR. I WOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT IT HAD I KNOWN.

MY 2013 NISSAN ROGUE AWD LOSES ACCELERATION ON THE HIGHWAY. I LIVE IN A MOUNTAINOUS AREA AND IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN WHEN ACCELERATING UP HILL. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME AT BETWEEN 65-75 MPH. I WILL BE ACCELERATING UP A HILL AT 70 MPH AND IT WILL DROP DOWN TO SOMETIMES 50 MPH EVEN WHEN PRESSING I'M THE ACCELERATOR COMPLETELY. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS WHEN SEMI TRUCKS ARE PASSING YOU IN THE MOUNTAINS GOING 10 UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE AND NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THEM IMMEDIATELY. I'VE HEARD OF MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ACROSS THE GLOBE WITH THIS MODEL. MY ROGUE IS ONLY NOW AT 57,000 MILES. I NOTICED THE ISSUE AT 50,000 MILES. I AM AN EXCELLENT DRIVER AND I DO NOT SPEED.

CAR WON'T TURN ON RANDOMLY. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY FIVE TIMES. EACH TIME THE CAR RANDOMLY STOPS WORKING EVERY FEW THOUSAND MILES. THE CAR WILL TAKE TEN OR ELEVEN TRIES TO START. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IF FOR ANY REASON WE EVER NEEDED TO LEAVE THE CAR CANNOT START QUICKLY. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY, NOT ALL THE TIME (SOMETIMES IT STARTS FINE AFTER ONE TURN, THE NEXT TIME IT COULD TAKE FIVE MINUTES TO FINALLY START, THEN GO BACK TO FINE). NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO TELL US WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF THIS DEFECT.

NISSIAN ROGUE 2013 LOOSES TRANSMISSION POWER CLIMBING UP LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH GRADES (CITY AND FREEWAY). FROM TOWN DRIVING TO CITY TO LONG DISTANCE TRAVELING ANY SORT OF GRADE. MY 2013 NISSAN ROGUE WENT FROM 65 MPH TO 10 MPH GOING UP THE "GRAPEVINE" ON HWY 5 IN CALIFORNIA. MY FOOT WAS ALL THE WAY FLOORED AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO PAST 10 MPH! LARGE BIG RIG TRUCKS WERE HONKING AT ME IN THE SLOW LANE AND ALMOST REAR-ENDED ME (TRUCKS COULD NOT CHANGE LANES INTO THE MIDDLE LANES DUE TO TRAFFIC)!! AS I SLOWLY CREPT UP THE STEEP GRADE (FROM BAKERSFIELD, CA TO LOS ANGELES, CA) AND THEN DESCENDED, MY CAR BEGAN TO PICK UP SPEED AGAIN. CAR WAS NOT OVERHEATED, NO UNUSUAL NOISES, SMOKE, OR WARNING LIGHTS. TOOK CAR INTO NISSAN SERVICE CENTER IN SAN DIEGO. LUCKILY, I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY SERVICED MY TRANSMISSION. THEY REPORTED TO ME THAT THIS IS A "KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2013 ROGUES." "MANY TRANSMISSIONS HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED IN THE NISSAN 2013 ROGUES DUE TO LOSS OF ACCELERATION POWER, WHETHER CITY OR FREEWAY DRIVING."! I WAS EXTREMELY SCARED AT THE IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER IN MY VEHICLE AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE ON THE GRADE WHILE BIG RIGS WERE COMING VERY CLOSE TO MY CAR! THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND CAN CAUSE FATALITIES!! BIG RIG TRUCKS CANNOT SLOW DOWN INSTANTLY AND IF THEY ARE BEHIND A NISSAN ROGUE THAT LOOSES ACCELERATION POWER!! THIS IS A FAMILY VEHICLE AND IT IS VERY SCARY TO THINK ABOUT THE LOSS OF LIFE BECAUSE NISSAN WAS NEGLIGENT IN RECALLING KNOWN TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I'VE RESEARCHED SIMILAR SITUATIONS AS WHAT I EXPERIENCED IN MY OWN 2013 NISSAN ROGUE AND THERE ARE MANY DOCUMENTED COMPLAINTS, MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENTS IN VEHICLES LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD, AND YET THE PROBLEM CONTINUES!

I HAVE A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. I HAVE HAD IT A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND AT RIGHT BELOW 60K MILES IT STARTED ACTING FUNNY. AT FIRST IT WAS LIKE IT WAS HAVING PROBLEMS SHIFTING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. WASN'T CONSTANT BUT HERE AND THERE. I TOOK IT IN TO A MECHANIC AN THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. I KEPT DRIVING IT. LATER ON IT STARTED TO JUMP ON FLAT ROADS, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP STILL NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I THEN WAS HAVING TROUBLE GOING UP HILLS, AN EVENTUALLY I WOULD LOOSE SPEED AN COULDN'T GO ANYWHERE. I HAD TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY AND WAIT 20 MINUTES, THEN MY CAR WOULD BE FINE AGAIN, UNTIL THE NEXT BIG HILL. I BROUGHT IT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP THEY SAID I NEEDED MY TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED SO I PAID THE $200 AN HAD IT CHANGED OR FLUSHED OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT THEY DO. I STILL HAD PROBLEMS TO THE POINT WHERE NOW MY CAR IS NOT MOVING. I BROUGHT IT BACK AN THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP NOW SAID THAT I HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION AN IT WAS GOING TO BE VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX, THAT I SHOULD JUST REPLACE IT. BUT WHY? MY CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD AN HAS LESS THEN 60K MILES ON IT. IVE HEARD PLENTY OF STOIRES OF ROGUES DOING THIS, I FEEL LIKE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OF SOME SORT.

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
