MY 2013 NISSAN ROGUE, HAS 94,000 MILE THE TRANSMISSION HAS NEVER BEN RIGHT , I PURCHASED A NISSAN BELEIVING THEY WERE A GOOD MANUFACTURER, AND THE CAR WOULD LAST LONGER THSN 3 YEARS, MY CAR STALLS OUT , IT GOES FROM 70 MPH TO 30 SUDENLY, VERY DANGEROUS, I WAS GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE AND WIYHOUT WARNING, I HOLD ACLELERATER DOWN SND NOTHING HSPPEND IT WONT MOVE I HAVE ALMOST GOT IN A WRECK 7 TIMES FROM NISSANS JUNK TRANSMISSION THAT HAS CLEARLY HAVING ISSUES GOR YEARS , YET NO RECALL MY EXSTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED IS VOID BC I DIDNT GET ALL MY MAINTANCE DID AT DEALERSHIP, THAT WARRANTY IS A JOKE DONT WAST YOUR MONEY,THEY WIL CHARGE 4700.00 TO FIX MY CAR , WHICH IS WRONG , THERE IS ALOT OF CONSUMERS PROBABLY DYING IN ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS NISSAN PROBLEM PLEASE HEAR. THE COMPLAINTS THERE IS HUNDREDS

WHEN THE CAR WARMS UP THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE PAST 40MPH OR CLIMB SMALL HILLS GREATER THAN 40 MPH. VEHICLE WILL ACT NORMALLY BUT WHEN YOU GET OFF THE FREEWAY, IT LOSES POWER AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. BIG SAFETY ISSUE WHEN TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AND YOU NEED SPEED TO PASS OR EVEN KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC. FOUND ONLINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND I BELIEVE THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR SAFETY CONCERNS

CVT TRANSMISSION OVER HEATS AND CAUSES ENGINE TO GO INTO LIMP MODE AT TIMES OF HEAVY TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE OR HILLS WHEN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 85F. HAS CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN TRAFFIC WHERE I HAVE HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING TO SLOW LANE. I BELIEVE IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD. CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE NEW. I'VE REPORTED THE PROBLEM MANY TIMES TO DEALERS. CONSUMER AFFAIRS WAS CONTACTED, WITH NO RESOLUTION.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND POWER, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DROP ITS SPEED TO BELOW 10 MPH. WE WERE UNABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OFF THE FREEWAY DUE TO LACK OF A SHOULDER, WHEN WE FINALLY WERE ABLE TO GET SAFELY OFF THE FREEWAY, THE CAR SMELLED OF BURNING TRANSMISSION FLUID. AFTER THE CAR SAT FOR 30 MINUTES, WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE A SPEED OF NO MORE THAN 25 MPH TO THE NEAREST TOWN. WE TOOK THE CAR TO OUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A KNOW CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IN AS WHERE THE TRANSMISSION OIL WAS OVERHEATED CAUSING THE CAR TO GO INTO SAFE MODE. NISSAN ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THE FIX IS TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER INSTALLED AT A COST OF $1200.00, IN WHICH WE HAVE TO PAY. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION SINCE BEFORE 2009. WE WERE ALMOST HIT ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS FROM THE REAR BY VEHICLES THAT WERE APPROACHING US AT 60 MPH.

THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WAS CLOSED FROM THE OUTSIDE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP. WHEN THE DOOR LATCHED ALL SIDE AIRBAGS (CURTAIN AND IN SEAT) DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO COLLISION. THERE WAS MINOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, WHICH APPEARED TO BE A "DOOR DING" THAT HAD OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 8 WEEKS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT INVOLVING THE AIRBAGS. IT WAS PURELY COSMETIC NO REPAIR WAS SOUGHT. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER AFTER AIR BAGS DEPLOYED.

TRAVELING VIA THE INTERSTATE FRO KY TO GA AT ABOUT 70 MPH. VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 35 MPH. DANGEROUS AS OTHER VEHICLES TRAVELING AT 70 MPH OR ABOVE CAME CLOSE TO REAR ENDING MY VEHICLE. OTHER VEHICLES DANGEROUSLY TAILGATED. OBVIOUS RECALL ISSUE AS THERE IS A HISTORY/PATTERN OF THIS BEHAVIOR IN LIKE VEHICLES AND YET NO RECALL ISSUED, VERY DISAPPOINTING!

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 62,135 MILES. OVERHEATED. NO PRIOR PROBLEMS OR REPAIRS. DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDATION IS REPLACE TRANSMISSION AND ADD A TRANSMISSION COOLER. SOLD IN GEORGIA OPERATED IN GEORGIA AND NEEDS A TRANSMISSION COOLER TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE IN GEORGIA?! ESCALATED TO NISSAN REGIONAL BUT WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR. NISSAN HAS HAD AN ENDEMIC PROBLEM WITH PRIOR YEARS ACROSS MULTIPLE MODELS WITH THIS EXACT PROBLEM WITH CVT. THIS IS CLEARLY A CONTINUING DESIGN DEFECT. VEHICLE LOST POWER AND SPEED SUDDENLY ON THE INTERSTATE. ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT AS TRUCKS RAN UP ON THE CAR TILL IT COULD BE PULLED OVER SAFELY.

I OWN A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE.THAT I HAVE KEPT UP THE SERVICE ON AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR EVERYTHING, BUT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY FAILED TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT.THE MILEAGE WAS BETWEEN 80,000.TO 85,000. AT THAT POINT THE ROGUE BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE AND CAN'T ACCELERATE PAST 40 MPH. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AND IT HAS LEFT MY FAMILY AND I STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE 3 TIMES, NOW I CAN'T TRUST THIS VEHICLE AT ALL AND FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. AND NISSAN FOR SOME REASON CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WHEN THEY HOOK IT UP TO THE COMPUTER BECAUSE THERE IS NO CODE ERROR. (BUT THEY DO HAVE THE [XXX] TO TELL ME I NEED TO BUY A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR A CAUSE OF OVER $5000 BEFORE TAXES)THIS ROGUE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD, THIS ALL HAS BEEN VERY FRIGHTENING TO ME AND MY FAMILY, AS I AM ON THE FREEWAY EVERY DAY AND SOMEONE COULD VERY EASILY CRASH INTO ME WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILS OR EVEN WHEN I AM TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM AN ON RAMP OR OUT OF A PARKING SPOT IN THE CITY OR A TOOL BOOTH AND THERE IS ZERO POWER, I CAN'T EXPRESS HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS. NISSAN PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, WE ARE HARD WORKING PEOPLE AND NONE OF US WILL EVER CONSIDER ANOTHER NISSAN IF THIS CAN'T BE FIXED.
