2013 Nissan Rogue

MY NISSAN ROGUE WILL SUDDENLY LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP, WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING, ETC. IT HAS HAPPENED ON HILLS AND FLAT SURFACES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, AS IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED MID TURN AND ON TRAIN TRACKS. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE, AND THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WHEN THERE CLEARLY IS. MY OWN RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSANS, AND IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CVT. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO CORPORATE AND THE DEALER I TOOK IT INTO.

I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOSS POWER, THE CAR NEVER TURNED OFF BUT AS I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE SO I HAD TO COAST FROM THE LEFT LANE ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT LANE TO GET TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. MIND YOU THERE IS ONCOMING TRAFFIC BLOWING THERE HORN BECAUSE OF COURSE I'M CLEARLY NOT GOING THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE ME TO THE CLOSEST NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHICH I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH BECAUSE I'M OUT OF TOWN. BUT ONCE I GET THERE THEY TELL ME MY TRANSMISSION IS OUT AND I NEED A NEW ONE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2013 BRAND NEW I'M THE ONLY DRIVER AND MY TRANSMISSION GOES OUT IN 2017. I STILL DON'T BELIEVE IT'S MY TRANSMISSION BUT WHO AM I TO ARGUE BUT I HAVE TO PUT UP $4,200 AND I'M STILL PAYING ON THIS VEHICLE!!! I SHOULD HAVE WENT WITH MY FIRST MIND AND GOT MY CADILLAC. I WILL BE TRADING THIS NISSAN ROGUE IN AND INFORM EVERYONE I KNOW NOT TO PURCHASE A NISSAN AT ALL. MY WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER A THING, WOW!!! I'VE HAD 2 OTHER MECHANICS LOOK AT AND THEY SAY IT COULD BE MY SENSORS BECAUSE MY SPEEDOMETER STILL MOVES WHEN YOU GIVE IT GAS AND IF IT SITS A WHILE IT WILL GO FORWARD AND BACKWARD BUT NOT FOR OVER A MILE OR TWO. I REALLY WASTED MY MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE.

IF YOU HAVE A SUSTAINED SPEED OF OVER 40 MPH FOR 30 MINUTES OR MORE THE CAR WILL STOP ACCELERATING. HTTP://M.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NISSAN/ROGUE/2013/ SHOWN ON THE LINK THIS IS VERY COMMON AND VERY DANGEROUS. THE ROGUE IS EXPECTED TO BE A REASONABLY PRICED SAFE CAR AND NO ONE SHOULD EXPECT A $4,500 REPAIR (20% OF THE PURCHASE PRICE) AT 45,000 MILES. NISSAN KNOWS OF THIS COMMON PROBLEM AND HAS CHOSEN TO IGNORE IT.

THERE IS A KNOWN DEFAULT WITH THE YEAR AND MAKE OF VEHICLE I OWN, YET NISSAN HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IT COULD RESULT IN DEATH. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR 1.5 HOURS OR MORE AT SPEEDS OF 65 MPH OR GREATER, THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS, AND CAUSES YOU TO LOSE ACCELERATION AND POWER. I LOST POWER ON THE PARKWAY, WAS UNABLE TO MOVE FROM THE RIGHT LANE, I COULDN'T EVEN MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE LOSING ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE MY VEHICLE. NISSAN RECOMMENDS ADDING AN EXTERNAL PART TO THE TRANSMISSION TO COOL THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, BUT THE PART IS MORE THAN $700. I WOULD THINK THAT THIS ISSUE WOULD BE VERY SIMILAR TO THE ISSUE WITH THE CHRYSLER IGNITION SWITCHES. IF I AM DRIVING MY CAR 70 MPH OR MORE ON THE INTERSTATE, AND SUDDENLY LOSE POWER, I AM LIKELY GOING TO GET HIT, AND IF THE OTHER VEHICLES ARE TRAVELING 70 MPH OR MORE, THAT IS GOING TO CAUSE VERY SERIOUS INJURIES AT THE VERY LEAST. THERE ARE MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS KNOWN ISSUE ON NISSAN FORUMS.

CVT TRANSMISSION. ONE OWNER COMEPLETES ALL REGULAR MAINTENANCE. WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE CAR MAKES A WHINING NOISE, LOSES POWER AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THIS CAUSED SEMIS TO GRID LOCK I MOVED OFF ROAD TO AVOID GETTING HIT AND CAUSING A MULTI CAR PILE UP. I LOOK UP AND SEE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE BY THE 100'S AND SADLY NISSAN ISN'T WILLING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE WITH THE CVT ON LATER MODELS BUT EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON PREVIOUS MODELS WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION.

THE NISSAN ROGUE 2013 HAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000 MILES ON IT, AND AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH HAVE FOUND MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS A FAULTY CVT INSTALLED. NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE OF THE HAZARD THEY HAVE BEEN SELLING SINCE 2008. THEIR VEHICLES ENTER "SAFE MODE" AFTER DRIVING LONGER THAN AN HOUR DUE TO TRANSMISSION FLUID OVERHEATING, AS A RESULT OF NOT HAVING A COOLER/FAN. THIS SAFE MODE CAUSES YOUR VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER IMMEDIATELY AND IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING ON INTERSTATE OR EVEN HIGHLY TRAFFICKED AREAS. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY REFUSE TO CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY. THIS MECHANICAL ISSUE CANNOT BE FOUND BY NISSAN CAR REPAIRSMEN BECAUSE IT IS FACTORY INSTALLED THAT WAY. PLEASE GET RECALL. I HAVE A 4 MONTH OLD BABY WHO'S LIFE IS AT STAKE

WHEN I WAS DRIVING ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD THE GAS PEDAL PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT WOULD NOT GO PAST 40 MPH THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS ON INTERSTATE 10 RETURNING HOME FROM HOUSTON TX ON AUGUST 17, 2017. I HAD NO PROBLEMS ON THE WAY TO HOUSTON. I HAD BEEN DOING THE SPEED LIMIT WHICH WAS BETWEEN 65 AND 75 WITHOUT THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. I HAVE BEEN READING UP ON THIS AND I HAVE FOUND OUT IT IS A REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH NISSAN'S ROUGES AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS AND THAT IT IS KNOWN ABOUT WHEN YOU GO TO THE DEALERSHIPS ABOUT THE PROBLEM.

THERE IS AM ACCELERATION ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. WHEN TRAVELING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY THE RPMS WILL GO UP TO 4000 PR HIGHER AND LOSE ACCELERATION. I WENT FROM 70 MPH TO LESS THAN 30 MPH WITHIN SECONDS ON A HILL. ONCE I GOT TO THE TOP OF THE HILL TO WHERE I COULD SAFELY PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY I TURNED THE CAR OFF. I HAD TO LEAVE IT OFF FOR AT LEAST 10 MINS BEFORE I GOT THE ACCELERATION POWER BACK. IF I TIRED BEFORE THAT IT WOULDNT ACCELERATE EVEN WITH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE READ A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. I WAS TOLD IT IS THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR LESS THAN 2 YEARS AND IT ONLY HAS 76000ISH MILES ON IT. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TO ME NOT ONCE, TWICE, THREE TIMES BUT FIVE TIMES NOW ON THE HIGHWAY SINCE REACHING 60000+ MILES ON THE CAR!! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND ADDRESSED. I HAVE 3 KIDS AND IF I GET INTO A CRASH BECAUSE OF THIS I WILL BE SUING NISSAN FOR THIS FAULTY ISSUE!!!!

THE 2013 NISSAN ROGUE WAS BUILT WITHOUT HAVING A COOLANT VALVE ON THE TRANSMISSION. I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE RPM ON MY CAR WITH BEGIN GOING VERY HIGH AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL NEVER MOVE ALL THE WHILE I AM PRESSING THE GAS DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR IS GOING ALMOST ONLY 20 OR 30 MILES PER HOUR AT THIS POINT. I AM NOT GOING UP A HILL OR GOING VERY FAST I USUALLY ONLY TRAVEL ABOUT 60 OR 65 MPH. IT MAKES A WHINING SOUND AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I DID TAKE THIS ISSUE UP WITH MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID WHAT IS HAPPENING IS SINCE THERE IS NO VALVE TO KEEP THE TRANSMISSION COOL THEN IT OVERHEATS AND LOOSING ACCELERATION IS A KIND OF WAY OF "SELF-DIAGNOSING" AND ATTEMPTING TO COOL DOWN-DUE TO THERE NOT BEING A VALVE ON THE CAR DURING MANUFACTURING. I DO INDEED HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 100,000 MILES UP TO 5 YEARS, BUT THEY SAID THEY CAN NOT PAY FOR THE PART BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ON THE CAR WHEN IT WAS MADE. THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR PARTS TO BE PUT ON THE CAR. ON NOVEMBER 25, 2015 NISSAN PUT OUT A SERVICE BULLETIN ON HOW TO PUT THE PART ON AND ARE WELL AWARE THAT ROGUES FROM 2008-2013 DO NOT HAVE THIS VALVE. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE THAT MY CAR COULD LOSE ACCELERATION AT ANY POINT-AND IT HAS ON THE INTERSTATE, HIGHWAY, AND MANY OTHER PLACES. NISSAN STATES THAT THE ROGUE HAD EVERYTHING ON IT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO, BUT THEY CAN'T TELL ME HOW THEY CAN PUT A BULLETIN OUT ON HOW TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND THEY KNOW THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED, BUT THEN WON'T PAY FOR THE ISSUE. I REALLY FEEL THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME TYPE OF RECALL ON A CAR THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE PROPER VALVE ON IT TO KEEP IT FROM OVERHEATING. THAT SOUNDS LIKE A REAL SAFETY ISSUE TO ME, A SINGLE MOTHER WHO WORKS AND TRAVELS WITH 2 SMALL CHILDREN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROUGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STOPPED, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT CALLED AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REGARDING THE FAILURE. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY FURTHER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.
