IllustrationI HAD STOPPED BRIEFLY TO PAY A TOLL AND WHEN I WAS READY TO DRIVE THE CAR HESITATED AND THE RPM WENT TO 4 AND IT STARTED TO GO SLOWLY THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. DROVE SLOWLY TO NEAREST REPAIR SHOP AND THE CODES THAT CAME UP WERE P0744 AND P1740. HAD TO TOW MY VEHICLE HOME AT THE COST OF $360.

THE CVT (VARIABLE TRANSMISSION) IS LOSING POWER ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS SUDDENLY UNABLE TO GO ANY FASTER. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO "SAFE MODE" DUE TO OVERHEATING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY NISSAN AS THEY GAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS SAME ISSUE TO ALL 2008 TO 2010 ROGUE OWNERS. HOWEVER THEY NO LONGER PROVIDE THIS AND INSTEAD THEIR FIX IS TO CHARGE FOR A DIFFERENT TRANS OIL COOLER FOR THIS 2013 MODEL. IF THE CVT IS STILL HAVING ISSUES THE FIX SHOULD BE COVERED BY NISSAN NOT ME.

AS WITH MANY YEARS BEFORE , THE NISSAN ROGUE HAS HAD TRANSMISSION SAFETY ISSUES.WHILE DRIVING IN THE LEFT LANE ON RT. 95 IN FLORIDA THE VEHICLE (ONCE HOT) ALMOST COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. THE POWER IS ALL BUT LOST , FORCING US TO GET OFF THE ROADWAY BEFORE WE ARE HIT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FROM BEHIND.THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. DEALER SAYS FAULTY TRANSMISSION IS TO BLAME AND MUST BE REPLACED. I'M IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE TRANS. REPLACED NOW .I FEEL THAT SINCE NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR 10 YEARS NOW, A RECALL SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED LONG BEFORE THIS AND PRIOR TO SOMEONE BEING SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE.PLEASE ADVISE ..
CAR LOSES ACCELERATION ON WARM DAYS AND DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR 30 MINUTES PLUS. PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE ONLY CAUSES RPM'S TO INCREASE BUT THE MPH OF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT.

CAR LOSES ACCELERATION ON WARM DAYS AND DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR 30 MINUTES PLUS. PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE ONLY CAUSES RPM'S TO INCREASE BUT THE MPH OF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT. AFTER PULLING THE VEHICLE OVER AND GIVEN A CHANCE TO COOL DOWN, NORMAL OPERATIONS RESUME UNTIL THE FLUIDS IN THE CVT DRIVE HEATER UP AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. IF YOU ARE IN A BAD POSITION ON THE HIGHWAY AND NEED TO ACCELERATE FOR SOME REASON ANC CANNOT, THIS CAN BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 75 ON A TRIP. CVT TRANSMISSION STARTED WHINING AND NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED ON THE GAS CAR WOULD NOT INCREASE SPEED. VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE 80,000 MILES. REPAIR TECHNICIAN SAID HE HAS SEEN SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH VALVE BODY OVER HEATING AND CVT TRANSMISSION COOLANT MIXING WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE AND HAD A CASE OPENED. CLAIM WAS DENIED SAYING THEY HAVE NO RECALLS OR PROBLEMS WITH CVT OF THE ROGUE VEHICLE. DRIVING ANYWHERE ESPECIALLY ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE WITH THIS ISSUE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

BOUGHT THIS 2013 ROGUE ABOUT 18 MONTHS AGO. I TRAVEL FOR WORK SO I HAVE PUT ALOT OF MILES IN A SHORT TIME. I HAVE HAD ALL THE MAINTENANCE DONE BY A LOCAL SHOP. RECENTLY ON A LONG FOUR HOUR DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE. THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT DOWN AND WENT INTO ITS SAFE MODE. I COULD NOT EVEN GET IT TO BACK OUT OF A SLANTED PARKING LOT THAT I HAD PULLED IN TO DROP MY WIFE OFF. I HAD TO LET IT COOL FOR 30 MINUTES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TODAY AND THEY SAID IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND IT WOULD NEED A TRANSMISSION COOLER AND VALVE BLOCK INSTALLED. THEY QUOTED ME A COST OF $2600.00 FOR THE REPAIR. I THINK THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT I SHOULD BE CHARGED THIS WHEN THERE OWN SERVICE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT NISSAN HAS RELEASED SEVERAL FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS AND IT IS HARD TO GET NISSAN TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I TRIED CALLING THE NISSAN AFFAIRS. THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO CALL ME BACK BUT FROM EVERYTHING I HAVE READ I DO NOT THINK THEY WILL DO ANYTHING.
VEHICLE LOST ALL ACCELERATION ON A BUSY HIGHWAY - VERY DANGEROUS.
WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON CRUISE CONTROL AND IT KEEP TURN OFF. I PRESSED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE NO MATTER WHAT!!! AND THAT'S WHEN THE CARS BEHIND ME START HONKING, CUSSING ME BUT THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO
I WAS MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY GOING ~50 MPH. WENT TO ACCELERATE AND THE ACCELERATER DID NOT SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME TENSION.

CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON, BUT N…

I WAS MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY GOING ~50 MPH. WENT TO ACCELERATE AND THE ACCELERATER DID NOT SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME TENSION. THEN ALL LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH (CHECK ENGINE, OIL, BATTERY ETC) THEN THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION. PULLED TO THE SHOULDER, TURNED THE CAR OFF, BACK ON AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON, BUT NOT ACTIVE AS I WAS MERGING, AND SPORT MODE WAS ON. SINCE THE INCIDENT WHEN ON CRUISE CONTROL I WILL FEEL THE TRANSMISSION 'SLIP' FROM TIME TO TIME AS WELL. HOWEVER I COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE OF THE CAR STALLING.I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IF I COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO EITHER. IT LOOKS LIKE PEOPLE ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND HOPEFULLY THIS CAN GET RESOLVED.
