2013 Nissan Rogue

Transmission is the issue. It is available for inspection. I have to have my transmission fluid changed every 8,000 miles - my car will stop at red lights/stop signs. The RPM’s will go up but the car will not move. This has almost caused multiple accidents as the car behind me thinks I am going when I cannot move. If I stop, I may not get going for several seconds. It’s taken up to a couple minutes at times. This has been looked at by our mechanic and it does this for him as well. There are NO warnings. No check engine light, no change in the car. No signs of this happening. It is terrifying not knowing when this may happen. The transmission fluid is black when we get it changed after inly 8,000 miles.

Ongoing issue with transmission. Original incident was loss of acceleration at on-ramp to highway. Continued driving, no repeatable issue. Later code P1778 with intermittent hesitation after idle-stop in traffic. Ordered replacement “stepper motor”. Tried changing transmission fluid, filters, “stepper motor,” oil cooler flush. Now vehicle does not go into reverse and _continuously_ hesitates after idle-stop in traffic. Consistent hesitation after stopping causes other drivers to tailgate, swerve and become obscene. Problem has not yet been observed or confirmed by dealer. Component has not yet been inspected by police, manufacturer or insurance representative. There was no warning light before the initial failure.

Transmission failure was diagnosed. The car stopped accelerating on me on winding back roads putting myself and others at risk. Nissan told me there are no recalls so they will not repair it. This is the second issue I had with the car, however the first was not related to safety concerns. This one most certainly is! My life was at risk as a curvy road has blind spots other vehicles will not expect a car to be broken down when they come around a curve. This is due to the 2013 Nissan Rogue Transmission failure my SUV only has 97,000 miles

On June 25, 2013, I purchased a 2013 Rogue. Within 17 months I experienced transmission problems. I had 2 mechanics test drive the Rogue and both said to bring the vehicle back to the dealership and have the transmission checked - which I did. The dealer said he saw no problem, but the vehicle kept making noise and hesitated to accelerate and I kept complaining to the dealer (East Coast Nissan) located in Englewood Cliffs, NJ, who has now been out of business for a few years. I went to Riverside Nissan in Hackensack, NJ. All I got from the dealership was they would do a maintenance check and if there was a problem it would show up. They found nothing wrong. I took the vehicle to my mechanic, and he said to bring it back to the dealer. Now, after almost 10 years of owning the Rogue, Riverside Nissan found what I have been complaining about for over 9 years. The problem took a week to find because the problem was sporadic. I should not have to pay the charges for repairs because the problem has occurred many times over the last 9 years. I have attached the e-mail from Riverside Nissan showing what is wrong with my Rogue. The vehicle has only approximately 60,000 miles (6,000 to 7,000 a year) and has been continually maintained so I should not have had a problem except my Rogue had faulty parts from the start and the repair should be covered by Nissan.

I was traveling on the interstate and the vehicle RPMs jumped up to 4k but the vehicle began to slow down. I removed my foot from the accelerator to reduce the RPMs and then reapplied the accelerator which increased the RPMs to close to 5k but the vehicle continued to slow down. I traveled in the emergency lane until the next exit as the vehicle continued to lose speed down to 20 MPH. At the end of the exit ramp, I came to a complete stop and needed to make a left turn. During this turn, the vehicle did not exceed 10 MPH even though the RPMs exceeded 4k. Once I reached the parking lot of the gas station, I turned the car off. I opened the hood to see if there was anything noticeably wrong and was not able to identify anything. I restarted the vehicle and everything seemed to be functioning fine and was able to complete my trip to my destination. This incident was the second of its type in 2 years. I took the vehicle to a shop for diagnostics as I did the first time. This time the mechanic was able to identify a code that showed an issue with the transmission. I consulted my personal mechanic and was notified of the reported transmission issues with the 2013 Nissan Rouge. I then contacted Nissan regarding the issue and was advised that owners would not have been notified of the safety issue and that they could not assist with repairs of the reported safety issue.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle failed to accelerate and lost motive power while driving. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed her the failure was due to the CVT transmission. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no additional assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

At 96,000 miles, I was driving and the CVT transmission went out. I was able to pull over but had to have the car towed for service. Nissan has had numerous problems with failing CVT transmissions, some recalled. I had service done from the dealership - $6,000 was what I paid after negotiating a quote for $1,000 more for a new transmission. I did notice a revving issue just prior to the failure - RPM gauge showing fluctuations.
