general problems of the 2009 Nissan Rogue - part 1

The automatic transmission cvt is jerking when accelerating and it is a problem when in traffic. This could cause an accident. It is a risk to use. No other vehicle and have to work. I will continue to use it. Took it to aamco and repairs are over $5000. 00 and can't afford it. New transmission or repair the one on the vehicle.

I contacted Nissan July 2018 and was told there were no reports of the issue I was having. . . Unfortunately what I've experienced seems to be common. I occasionally work as a self employed artist and on long trips my Rogue will refuse to speed up. It doesn't matter how hard I press the gas pedal. It's like something isn't connecting. Nissan said they couldn't find any reports of this happening but I see many complaints. The SUV refuses to go over 20mph, sometimes even lower. This issue has put my life at risk many times and I'm wondering what it will take for something to change!? it happened going uphill multiple times and seems to happen when traffic is at a stop and go. The only recall issue I saw had to do with snow and salt getting in somewhere. This seems to happen when it's warmer outside.

Once the vehilce is warmed, the vehicle will not accelerate from a stop. With the accelerater pedal held down in about 15 seconds the rpm will rise and the vehicle will kick into gear and begin to accelerate.

Once the car has been driven continually for at least 45 minutes or more the service engine light comes and the car loses pressure and starts making a whining noise. This has happened several times while driving on the highway.

I have a 2009 Nissan Rogue with 106742 miles,I took the vehicle to the Nissan dealership for transmission problems. The dealer is telling me that the guarranty covers only if the transmission needs to be replaced,when I read the guarranty covers repairs,replacement and even towing. They want me to pay for the parts in the repair of the transmission. The vehicle is still under warranty.

Repair and replace entire transmission and computer system.

Car decelerates on its own. While driving on highway and on small roads, the car will slow and even when accelerator is pushed the rpms will not increase over 3000 and the engine does not rev and the vehicle loses acceleration. This is a very hazardous situation. The vehicle does not accelerate in order to pull over to get out of the way of traffic. All fluids are maintained. The vehicle is properly serviced.

Driving on the freeway the engine reved to high rpms and lost power. There were two babies in the car. We were in the carpool lane and with no power we had to cross 3 lanes of traffic and wait on the side of the freeway with babies for tow truck. Was towed to a friends auto shop where we were told about numerous known issues with the cvt transmission.

Looses power upon driving no excelleration and it wont go it's like the throttle petal isn't even there when you start out it drives great but within 20/30 miles it's like the car takes over and it just won't go' we do regular service and we have done transmission services cvt fluid and filter this needs to be addressed Nissan should be held accountable.

Loss of power and juddering (shaking) of vehicle occurred several times while accelerating, driving up hills, driving for extended periods of time (over 1 hour), or when the air temperature was over 80 degrees fahrenheit, all while accelerator was depressed. When I tried to floor the accelerator, the rpm's increased but the cvt did not engage. Had to remove foot from accelerator then reapply, eventually after the car slowed even further, the cvt re-engaged. Worst issue happened while on the i90 interstate, attempting to accelerate and car lost power and juddered almost causing a collision with vehicle behind me. Took vehicle into dealership twice for this issue, first time the dealership could not replicate issue. Took the vehicle back into the dealership within 30 days from original issue and dealership confirmed issue and said new transmission was needed. However, not covered under Nissan extended warranty because there were not hard fault codes. Called Nissan consumer affairs on in July 2018 who said my VIN is not part of any updates/recalls for this issue and would not cover repair or replacement of transmission.

Car will not accelerate or respond to gas pedal especially when driving for extended periods of time or uphill. When the gas pedal is depressed the vehicle will judder and loose speed. Took the vehicle to the dealership in 2016 for cvt oil cooler recall at 93,063 miles. Brought vehicle to dealership with loss of acceleration at 119,931; however, no hard codes to diagnosis issue, sent on my way, with a diagnosis of bad wheel bearing. Returned less than a month later with unresolved issue (loss of acceleration) at 121,075 miles. Dealership diagnosed that the car needs a new transmission and will not be covered under the extended warranty, 1,075 miles over warranty.

Driving up a hill on highway route 80 west at 65 mph when all of a sudden speed started to decrease I pressed down fully on gas with no response transmission locked up speed continued to decline to 55 mph with traffic flying by me honking horns etc I put hazards on and continued to press gas with no response was able to get up hill and speed and transmission returned to normal. Very hazardous for this to occur with kids in the car as well.

When driving on the highway, the car suddenly loses all acceleration. Even with the accelerator completely depressed, the car just stops. Rpms won't go above 2500, and my husband and I have had to make several emergency stops on the side of the highway, sometimes in heavy traffic, and requiring us to cut across multiple lanes.

The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Rogue. While driving 25 mph, the vehicle did not respond when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The contact drove the vehicle home. The contact stated that the transmission was replaced by an independent mechanic in may of 2017. The dealer was not contacted for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and suggested taking the vehicle to one of their facilities for diagnostic testing. The approximate failure mileage was 159,000.

Intermittent acceleration & deceleration while vehicle was in motion, putting in drive or reverse has extreme loss of acceleration with engine rpm going well above the needed rpm (3000-4000) to move the vehicle forward.

Cvt lost power on highway without notice and would not accelerate.

When the car is in motion driving for a period of 30 minutes or longer or going up a hill the acceleration stops and the car will slow down no matter how much you press on the gas paedal. I have not experienced it heating up according to the tempeture but the car does smell like burnt. I have to turn off the car and let it cool to drive again, but the issue will continue if I drive more than 30 minutes or up a hill.

Going down the interstate going 65 mph and we lost all power couldnt go over 30 mphwe had to pull over and wait then we finally got moving again the power loss kept happening now my service engine light is on and they 1100 to fix the problem Nissan knows about the problem but won't recall it.

Cvt enters limp mode after 30 minutes of driving 65+ miles per hour. I lose a lot of power when that happens causing my vehicle to be unable to accelerate or go over 3k rpms.

Nisan rouge 2009 lost power after 2 hours driving on highway rpm stock on 2500.

1. Failure to accelerate and shaking/stalling like behavior. While entering intersection, car failed to accelerate and continued to fail to accelerate as I drove the car the two miles to work. I thought maybe I didn't step on the acc. All the way the first time I was almost hit by a car, but realized it continued to crawl along until I got to speeds over 20mph. I was almost hit several times (a minimum of three to include t boned and rear end type collisions during the two mile drive). Got car towed to dealership and dealership notified me that it was not the transmission but it was a faulty sensor switch that told the car I was braking although I was accelerating. Dealership refused to return car to me until I had sensor replaced due to safety hazard. Dealership told me they have seen several of these issues. Additionally, several of these issues exist nationwide as noted by numerous online complaints. 121000miles. Discussed if it was the transmission, Nissan was going to see if they would help with costs since it was right outside of the extended warranty to 120k miles for known transmission issue (which I had no knowledge of). Nissan deemed it was not the transmission, however, could not say what caused the shaking. 2. Car still stuttered, but the drag was gone after replacing sensor for two months. Drag is back and car still shutters. Was told by a different place that my transmission is shot. 124700 miles. It shutters like it is going to stall in traffic when slowing down, in stop and go traffic, and a lower speeds.

After driving at high speeds for a while I loose acceleration. And when I come to a stop the car will not go for like 5 seconds after I step on the gas.

No acceleration after driving for about an one hour at 70mph. The car start loosing power and when I press the gas it just scrim with no acceleration. This problem many many rouge 2009 users suffer from, Nissan should recall and fix the problem.

Item one-whining noise when accelerating item 2-engine intermittently shuts off when stopping at an intersection.

Vehicle going up hill will loose power, cvt transmission does this randomly when going up any hill. I am going to die trying to get out of the way of oncoming cars behind me. I am afraid to go anywhere that has an uphill grade on any road.

The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Rogue. While driving approximately 65 mph on the highway and attempting to pass another vehicle, the contact's vehicle would not accelerate. Approximately five seconds later, it appeared to function normally; however, the failure recurred. The dealer stated that the contact was required to purchase a new transmission versus repairing the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 190,000.

Stop for groceries and when I get back in the car I felt the ride kind a funny, I press the accelerator with no response, car didnt go more than 30 miles an hour, took me 1 hour to get back because I couldt get in the highway had to drive in local streets.

Transmission overheats and fails. Was replaced at 90k miles and happend again at 130k miles. It is a safety hazard. It goes into "safe mode" and then quits while driving.

I bought the car used, to get to work and the many doctor's appointment that I currently have (I am breast cancer survivor with a lot of side effects). When it first happened I was driving locally when I pushed on the gas pedal and the car didn't accelerate. It happened just for a moment and the car drove fine the rest of the way home so I hoped it was one time thing. A day or two later it happened again, telling me that the first occurrence wasn't random. That's when I researched the symptoms and saw I wasn't alone. That's when I also learned that Nissan extended the warranty. I found out I was over the mileage, I would have to pay I balked because I knew of the many people that have/had this problem and I don't feel I should be responsible for a mechanically defective transmission. In the meantime I'm gently driving the vehicle: short trips, no highways and 40 mph or less. If what I read is true and the loss of acceleration (which happened a third time within July) is the car going into safe mode then I'll do what I can to avoid aggravating the vehicle until I take it in for the new tranny cooler. I really hope this resolves my problem. After doing research on the cvt I found out that they are known for their issues and the extended warranty went into place. Of course I am over by 30,000 but I saw that if you are over you should still contact Nissan. I did and started a claim got a call back from the midwest corporate gay who told me too bad we can not help. I need help.

The cvt transmission oil overheats at long driving periods and the transmission / car goes into limp mode and the speed drops immediately and significantly and will not be driveable until the oil cools down. Very dangerous because this only happens on the highways at high speeds. Also, after the vehicle enters this "limp mode", if you exit the highway and stop at a traffic light or stop sign, the vehicle will then not accelerate past 5 mph for a period of 30-45 seconds. Nissan knows that this happens and extended the warranty on the transmission. But they will do no work on the warranty because the issue cannot be duplicated by the dealer when the car is brought in, which will always be the case because the issue happens on the highway after being driven for a while. This sudden deceleration almost got me killed by a semi that was behind me when my car went into this limp mode without warning.

The cvt transmission in the Rogue is known for failing. When the fluid temperature gets too hot the vehicle will go into a limp mode limiting all power. My Rogue has had 4 transmissions in 85k miles. I have had my replacement transmission for two weeks and it is already having signs of failing. I have nearly been in multiple major wrecks because the transmission will cut out when trying to enter a highway or pull out across traffic. There are multiple reports of accidents from this issue but Nissan has not said a word. It has the exact type of failure the Nissan pathfinder had, which just had a class action passed against it.

Driving car to work on a busy road, when it revved and then lost power. Was able to drift to the shoulder.

Cvt continues to fail. It was replaced at 73k miles after failing; it now is going into fail safe mode due to overheating issues. This seems to be very common Rogue problem. I was told that the 100k warranty would be for the replacement cvt but am now being told by dealer that repairs were 12k or 12 months. Cvt is showing signs of poor shifting and power loss on hills. Frequently won't start moving for few seconds at traffic light. Please help with resolving the problem with all of us Rogue customers/owners. This has been happening now for months and I am worried for my families safety. Thanks.

Passenger air bag sensor has failed. Air bag light blinks. Sensor is in seat. Cvt transmissions fail without warning. Research indicates this occurs at highway speeds and causes a hazard in traveled lanes.

While driving the vehicle up hills or during hot days, the vehicle will suddenly ignore the gas pedal and slow down. This becomes treacherous on long drives that involve going over hills or mountains as they car will slow to under 40mph and will not respond to the gas pedal. After bringing my vehicle to the dealership, they stated there is an ecm recall. They changed out the part, but the issue when driving still occurred. Nissan is aware of the problem (see ntb14-002), however the issue is not considered a recall and is labeled as a customer expense for those outside the 60,000 mile warranty and optional upgrade. This is a serious flaw for any Rogue owners, and is a safety risk while driving. Nissan should replace the flawed cooling systems at their expense, especially since the defect was not detected until 11/25/2015.
