2013 Nissan Rogue

CAR WOULD TACK AT 5K-6K RPM AND NOT DOWNSHIFT, WOULD LOSE POWER AS DRIVING UPHILL IN HEAT. WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF GEAR , MAKING LOUD BUZZING SOUND. SHUTTER OR LOSE POWER AFTER DRIVING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. THIS HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY AND WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS. VEHICLE HAD 40K MILES WHEN FIRST STARTED TO HAVE THE ISSUE. RECENTLY BROUGHT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO STATED IT WAS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHERE THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T COOL. DUE TO BEING OUT OF THE WARRANTY TIMELINE (5 YEARS) BUT WITHIN THE MILEAGE (52000 MILES), THEY WERE ABLE TO GET NISSAN TO COVER A COOLER KIT. HOWEVER, THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. PAINT CHIPPING FROM HOOD AND SIDE OF CAR WITHOUT ANY REASON OR ANY PRIOR DAMAGE.

MYSELF WITH MY 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WERE DRIVING FROM NEW HAVEN, CT TO FITCHBURG, MA. ABOUT 1 HOUR INTO THE DRIVE, MY 2013 NISSAN ROGUE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 40MPH!!! WE WERE IN STEADY FAST MOVING TRAFFIC ON A HOT JULY 20TH, 2018 AFTERNOON, HEATWAVE WEATHER! IT WAS TERRIFYING!!! I PUT ON MY BLINKERS AND SLOWLY VEERED TO THE RIGHT LANE! I HAD TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND MAKE IT TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION. AFTER SEVERAL FRANTIC CALLS TO FAMILY MEMBERS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO, I DECIDED TO ADD ENGINE OIL, ANTI-FREEZE, GAS AND WATER HOPING SOMETHING WOULD HELP. AFTER SITTING FOR AN HOUR, I DROVE ON THE LOCAL ROADS TO TRY OUT THE CAR AGAIN BUT REALIZED I HAD TO GET BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRY TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 60MPH AGAIN!!!! WE MADE IT TO OUR 3 HOUR TRIP DESTINATION. THE NEXT DAY ON THE WAY BACK, THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AND THIS TIME AFTER STOPPING FOR A WHILE MY CAR STILL WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL WE SAT WITH THE CAR OFF FOR AN HOUR IN THE HEAT IN A TOWN THAT I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH! WE HAD TO USE ALL LOCAL ROADS TO GET BACK HOME AND THAT TOOK DOUBLE THE TIME BECAUSE I HAD TO KEEP PULLING OVER SO THE CAR COULD COOL OFF SOME!!!! SEVERAL MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX RIGHT NOW!!! I'M SO DISGUSTED WITH THIS CAR AND CANNOT WAIT TO GET RID OF IT!!!! IF A LOCATION TAKES OVER AN HOUR TO GET TO, I CAN'T DRIVE THIS CAR!!! MY CAR IS A PEARL WHITE COLOR. THE PAINT PEELING ON THE HOOD AND SIDES OF THE DOOR IS A WHOLE OTHER FRUSTRATING PROBLEM THAT GETS WORSE AND WORSE!!!

I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2016 WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY A LEASE. WHEN I GOT THE CAR I NOTICED A WHIRRING SOUND AS I APPLIED THE GAS AND A LOW PULL AS IT COASTED DOWNHILL. SEVERAL DIFFERENT PEOPLE I ASKED ABOUT THIS STATED IT WAS NORMAL. I'VE NEVER DRIVEN OR OWNED A NISSAN BEFORE AND I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS THE WAY THE CAR DRIVES. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, AFTER DRIVING TO GET MY SON FROM COLLEGE, THE CAR BARELY WENT ABOVE 60 MPH AS I PRESSED THE GAS. I PULLED OVER, THOUGHT IT WAS TOO HOT OR MAYBE A BAD BATTERY (HAD IT TESTED, STILL GOOD) OR MAYBE THE FUEL INJECTOR. I STOPPED AND GOT SOME FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER AND LET MY CAR REST FOR A BIT BEFORE HEADING 2 HOURS BACK HOME. IT NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN UNTIL THIS PAST FRIDAY. HAD THE CODES READ WHEN IT BECAME SLUGGISH AND WAS GIVEN P1778 CODE. ULTIMATELY, MYSELF, MY DAUGHTER AND MY 2 FOSTER DAUGHTERS GOT STUCK IN TRAFFIC B/C MY CAR BARELY MOVED AT ALL DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I HAD IT TOWED AND WHEN THE MECHANIC CHECKED IT THAT MONDAY MORNING HE CONFIRMED THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THAT NISSAN HAS HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS W/ IT AND IT SHOULD BE UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHICH REPAIRS MAY OTHERWISE RUN B/W $3000.00-$4000.00. UPON MY RESEARCH, CONTACT W/ NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THE DEALER I'VE COME TO UNDERSTAND THAT MY YEAR (2013 NISSAN ROGUE) IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A BURDEN AND DANGER TO CONSUMERS THAT NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE OF AT LEAST SINCE 2003 YET HAS NOT BEEN VIGILANT ENOUGH TO FIX. I ALSO SEE WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN AND CURRENTLY ARE CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS AGAINST NISSAN REGARDING THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS. I HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. PLEASE HELP!!!

LIFT GATE RUSTED AROUND THE EMBLEMS AND TAIL LIGHTS WITHIN ONE YEAR - THEY REPLACED IT. LESS THAN 8 MONTHS LATER IT STARTED RUSTING AGAIN - THEY REPLACED IT. IS NOW RUSTING AGAIN AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. BLOWS HEAT THROUGH THE VENTS WHEN ALL CONTROLS ARE OFF AND TEMPERATURE IS SET TO THE COOLEST SETTING. LATEST ISSUE IS I WAS DRIVING MY KIDS HOME AT NIGHT AND WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP LIGHT THE VEHICLE ONLY MOVED SLOWLY AT THE RPM WENT ABOVE 4,000 ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET REAR ENDED. EVENTUALLY I COULD GET TO 50 MPH BUT ANYTHING OVER THAT AND THE RPM'S WOULD RACE OVER 4,000. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AM BEING TOLD THE TRANSMISSION IS SHOT AND IT WILL COST $3,500 AND I ONLY HAVE 95,000 MILES ON IT!
