general problems of the 2010 Nissan Rogue - part 1

I have a 2010 Nissan rouge that is having powertrain issues, specifically the cvt, three times, after driving a long distance in very hot weather, and then going on a long uphill grade, the vehicle lost power. It dropped from 70 to about 40mph, this happened on two interstates along the same stretch and a third time on a California state highway. I did some research and found that this is a common problem with the Rogues powertrain's cvt over several years and there was also a class action lawsuit for some years of this Rogue, but not for a 2010. Nissan did pay for some repairs on other years to the lawsuit claimants.

The transmission/power train on this vehicle is experiencing common failures as reported by many owners. On my way to work, my Nissan Rogue began to stall and lose speed while on the highway. The speed decreased from 70 mph down to 50 mph. Approximately 5 minutes way from work, my vehicle barely accelerated through 4 way stop while making left turn which posed a high risk with on coming traffic headed in my direction I had my vehicle inspected by my ase certified mechanic and was informed that my Rogue prompted transmission failure code. He (dale baca, alternative auto care in thornton, CO) also informed me that this was a recurring issue with my Nissan Rogue as well as other Nissans with the cvt transmission. No indication of failure or warning lamps was given on my dashboard on the day of July 28th, 2023.

Safety put at risk due to horn not being able to work and the primary reason for this complaint is the engine. The car stopped accelerating, which was resolved, but then the car would no longer go in reverse!!! it is unknown why this has happened. We suspected the cvt prior to even learning of the cvt class action lawsuit. Please advise! thank you for your time and consideration!.

My transmission let go.

While driving the vehicle at average highway speeds for over one hour approximately, the cvt transmission fluid overheats, and an engine code po744 is set. This code is followed by reduction in engine power and speed limited to a safe mode of 25 mph. The danger of being rear-ended while attempting to safely exit the freeways here in California is high. This has happened multiple times on different roadways, uphill, downhill, and through the desert Nissan has many technical service bulletins, but no recalls. A cvt for this 2010 is $4000 or more, later models received a cvt fluid cooler, this year it's almost $1400 to install with no hopes the cvt will hold up.

The Nissan Rogue is my 16 year old sons car. He was on a main road with his younger sister and a friend when he slowed down to turn a corner and as he pushed gas the car began to jerk violently then there was a bang and a click noise the car stayed running but was unable to accelerate he tried putting it in park and it started rolling away… 4 other bystanders had to help push the vehicle out of the way so a total of 7 people were pushing car off main road into a parking lot. Had someone look at it in that parking lot. It is something to do with the cvt transmission. Had to have it towed to my home to see if it can be repaired. Or if I wasted my money. Either way definitely have to get rid of it due to the danger. There was 3 teens in this car and they could have been seriously injured in this car when it broke down on a major street or when they were pushing it into a parking lot. By the grace of god my kids and their friend are safe. After this I would never buy another Nissan for the fact that I was terrified that they could’ve been seriously injured for a cvt transmission that has had numerous complaints and issues. It is definitely not safe for anyone, let alone a new teenage driver my son also told me that 2 weeks ago he was at a stop sign tried to accelerate when car would not move then it started jerking forward and finally drove normal. After that it could not be replicated until yesterday when it had incident on main road.

Issues with the vehicle shifting from 5th to 6th gear while driving in motion.

I was driving on i70 from lakewood, CO to new castle, CO and about half way through the drive, no mater what gear I was in or how hard I push the gas peddle down (floored it), my car would only go 35-40 mph on the hills. I was on a highway where the speed limit is 65 and in some places 75 and it is very unsafe to be stuck going only 35-40 miles an hour.

With daughter driving in mountains. After appx. 2 hours of driving the car would no longer accelerate beyond 40mph on 65 mph highway. Even slower on hills, no power. A lot of semis and cars honking but no place to pull over. Felt we could be rammed from behind at any moment. Terrifying. Subsequent check online revealed this is serious problem with this vehicle and there have been lots of complaints. Why has nothing been done? if ever a recall was needed this is it. Worse than an airbag not deploying in an accident. This has potential to be the cause of many accidents. Most vehicles on I-70 exceed the 65mph speed limit and a car going less than the min required speed is at great risk. Do something!! more info on this problem is all over the internet. Just google Nissan Rogue acceleration problem.

When driving in a high way at 70mph car would lost conection with engine none responsive and can cause major accident car transmission practacly goes on on nutral doesnt respond to gas pedal.

My car have issues with the control arm switch for the lights I put the high beam and the directional light comes on the emergency light everything happens went the light are on.

Tl-the contact owns a 2010 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that when driving at 65mph the vehicle decelerated to 25mph with the accelerator pedal engaged. There was no warning light before, during or after the failure occurred. The contact was able to cost the vehicle onto the road shoulder. The contact drove the vehicle home. The contact stated that the failure was experienced several times. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 160,000. Li.

I have a 2010 Nissan Rogue I have been having issues with loss of power when driving on the highway while driving at 70 miles an hour it starts decelerating to 60 and the 50 mph sometime when I'm at a light it will not take off. I will put the the car I drive or reverse car will not move. Also I was trying to pass over another car and when I pressed the gas vehicle would not respond. This is a safety issue if I ever saw one why will Nissan not take care of this cvt issue I don't know why they don't address this problem before more deaths occur. This issue has happened on hwy. I-10 driving from houston texas to katy texas wich is about 25 miles.

Tl- the contact owns a 2010 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at various highway speeds the vehicle would not immediately accelerating when pressing the accelerator pedal. After stopping and allowing the vehicle to cool off the vehicle operated as normal. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer Nissan of gastonia(2275 east franklin blvd, gastonia nc) who diagnosed that the transmission cooler was faulty causing the transmission to become damaged and the entire transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not yet notified. The failure mileage was 120,000. Jft.

Tl- the contact owns a 2010 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving, the vehicle stalled while making a left turn. No warning light illuminated during the failure. The failure happened on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer: modern Nissan of lake norman 18615 statesville rd, cornelius, nc 28031 who diagnosis the vehicle as a failed transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and informed the contact the they are responsible for repairs. The failure mileage was 112,000. Hk.

Driving on I-76 on cruise control at 75 mph when vehicle starts to run rpms in excess of 4k while losing acceleration. Pull over and turn off vehicle. Check under the hood, slight burning smell. Wait about twenty minutes, turn vehicle on, won't accelerate at all. Wait some more, drives for a little while, then high acceleration with loss of speed again, this time never going over 60 mph. I'm lucky I was not rear ended on the interstate and killed with my two year old son.

After driving on a highway with my Nissan rouge 2010, with continuous speed of 55 to 60 mph for about half hour, and then came to a full stop, due to traffic congestions, the car won't run or accelarate, even if I push the (gas) pedal all the way to the floor. I have to turn off, and turn off the engine to get it going again. It happened many times during warm or hot weather. In winter, it seems to be fine. The dealer said it was transmission problem, but they charged me, even they have not found or fix any issues.

Transmission display symptoms of failure while going 65 miles an hour on a highway with my children and ultimately stalled out.

2010 Nissan Rogue driving on highway I-57 northbound around 159th doing the speed limit of 60 the conjuring start slowing down I pulled over on the shoulder and turn the car off and it would start up it wouldn't say anything had the car towed to a mechanic Saturday morning Monday they told me the trance wisconsin cvt trans the car is has 84000 miles 2010 excellent condition no major issues and they won't honor the warranty on the car.

The contact owns a 2010 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 70 mph, the vehicle went into safe mode and independently decelerated. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The contact stated that the failure usually occurred after two hours of continuous driving. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced the issue several years ago and the transmission was replaced by the manufacturer free of charge. The manufacturer was contacted and informed that the failure recurred. The dealer information was not available. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 128,324.

After approximately 2 hours of driving on the highway, the transmission goes into "limp" mode. Nissan states this is the result of the transmission overheating and the only solution is installing a new Nissan external cooler. Car will barely reach 55-60 mph especially if going up hill. Also, once the car is stopped it will not accelerate quickly. The first time this happened it gave no warning and it almost caused an accident due to the accelerator not responding when my attempting to turn across oncoming traffic. This is going to cause an accident with serious injuries or worse if not addressed. There was no warning the transmission had overheated and gone into this mode. The first sign was the car simply failing to accelerate with the gas pedal depressed to the floor. Multiple times the car has just suddenly decelerated in heavy highway traffic from 75 mph to 55 mph after only 1. 5-2 hours of highway driving. This seems to be a significant defect that is going to cause an accident. Also it appears that this issue has been ongoing for a extended period of time with little to no effort from the manufacturer to address the issue.

On the highway going an a 1. 5 hour trip the 2008-2010 rouge transmission will over heat causing the vehicle to go into "limp" mode with no warning which means it has no power. Nissan sent out a service bulletin to their service departments in September 2016 acknowledging their is a defect and the fix is an external cooler but they refuse to fix my car. If a family of 4 is in the car and they don't know what to look for the vehicle could go into "limp" mode and when they try to pull back onto the highway they could lose power right in the middle of the highway and get struck by oncoming traffic and be killed. Who would answer for that? fletcher Nissan in joplin mo are the ones who told me to contact you because Nissan corporate are the ones refusing to fix the issue. It has happened to my family several times in our car. At first they said we just needed the transmission flushed. We bought the car with 10000 miles on it and it has been doing it ever since we have had it. Luckily I knew what to look for and kept my family out of harms way. Josh houchin the service mgr. At fletcher Nissan said they have had 5 2008-2010 rouge vehicles come in in just the last few months with the same defect. So it is not just my vehicle. They need to recall all the affected vehicles before someone dies because of this. Thank you.

While driving at highway speeds, vehicle suddenly decelerated to 50, then 35, then 20 mph. Fortunately, we were near the exit and were able to leave the hwy. After shutting off the vehicle and waiting a few minutes, the vehicle performed normally. This is the 3rd time in one year of ownership this has happened.

My 2010 Nissan Rogue will not accelerate when going uphill on the highway. When flooring the gas pedal, the car will slow down from 70 to 60 to 50 to 40 mph on a uphill (there were only three passengers including driver). The car transmission will eventually stop working until the car cools down. Took car to a Nissan service center and was repaired under Nissan's cvt 10 years/120k miles warranty referencing TSB ntb14-002e. The valve body was removed/replaced and an external cooler was installed to resolve the issue.

Cvt transmission overheated due to the following normal driving conditions 1. Hot weather (92 f) 2. A long drive (over 3 hours) 3. Driving up highway mountains in virginia. Fail safe activated causing the car computer cpu to drastically cut power to the wheels. This caused a lack of power such that I could not accelerate up the hill in excess of 45 mph. The speed limit on the hill was 70 mph. Eighteen wheel trucks were immediately behind my Rogue forcing me to pull onto the road shoulder allowing them to go past. I brought the car to a local Nissan dealer who confirmed from examination of the car cpu that the transmission overheated and that an overheat code was found in the cpu. They also confirmed that the fail safe was activated that caused the severe power loss. The Nissan dealer knew exactly what the problem was from my description. Nissan is aware of the problem and even extended my transmission cvt warranty from 6yr/60,000 miles to 10yr/120,000 miles. However, their solution to this problem is to install an auxiliary cvt transmission fluid cooler at an expense to me of $1225. My dealer checked with Nissan and said they would not cover the expense even though the transmission in my car is still on warranty. . Read more...

This started happening right after the last recall Feb 2016. Was going at 65 mph little uphill (from 1200 feet to 2200 feet) then the speed started dropping from 65mph to less than 30mph on a busy California I-15 freeway. I had to pull the car from the far left lane (5 lanes each way) to the right shoulder where I stopped for about 35 minutes then started the car again. It happened at least 4 times since they messed up my car in the last recall. Other issue I experienced was when I stopped at a traffic light and tried to move, it barely moved then all of the sudden it jumped, it was very risky. I had to pull to a parking lot (this happened 3 times).

Well I was driving in the highway with speed limit of 80 mph, car suddenly went down to 40, almost hit by a big old truck, jeez glad to be alive, I loved Nissan n I had my first car as Nissan n switch to Toyota but now I wanna try Nissan as it was my fav, now I missed my Toyota, atleast Toyota csr are helpful in fnding the problems. Nissan dealers OH boy they don't know whats going on, I think they r just pretending. If anybody is buying Nissan, think twice if you wanna risk ur life. Hope noone gets hurt on highway with the same issues!!.

Hi, I am experiencing a known "cvt overheating" problem with my Rogue. What's happening is that when the cvt gets more then some threshold temperature it goes to so called "safe" mode and the car looses speed drammaticaly, including situations on a high way. This is a safety issue! I brought me vehicle to the dealership 2 times and as a result they suggested to install a "cooler kit" by Nissan which potentially can solve the problem just by cooling the cvt is a "better" way. They are asking for about $1200 for the installation. I see that as a Nissan's design flow. I don't think paying for this out of my pocket is the right solution. I think Nissan should start a re-call on that problem. This is unacceptable situation on how Nissan handles it right now (in fact it doesn't handke it it all). Thank you. Evgheni morscinin.

I bought a new 2010 Nissan Rogue sl awd in July 2010. At about 50-60k miles, the engine would cut off if I came to an abrupt stop after traveling about 60-65mph and then braking ¿ at a red light for instance. I have also had an issue with the car not accelerating on the highway when pressing on the gas. This happened few times and I took the car to the dealer¿s service department, who said they could not identify a problem after doing a test drive. I find hard to believe Nissan is not aware of this issue with these many complaints of same or very similar problems. Today, 9/27/16, my car engine cut off while entering the highway, I was super lucky my car was not hit by a truck, which could have ended with me being killed.

I was driving on the highway at about 75 mph for around 30-40 minutes when the car stopped accelerating and began decelerating. I had my foot all the way down on the gas peddle and it just kept losing speed. Lucikly I was able to coast into the right lane, because I wanted to get into the breakdown lane when the car finally began to accelerate again. The car began acting normal after that until I got off the exit ramp about 10 mins later. I stopped at the end of the ramp and when it was my turn to go the car had again no power. My foot was pushing the gas peddle to the floor and the car just began to roll, I quickly had to turn on my hazard lights and roll to the side of the road. My husband and I waited for a few moments and then the car drove normal. This has happened a few times to me now, always after driving on the highway for about 30-45 mins. I have been looking online and have seen many complaints about this same issue, but Nissan refuses to file any kind of recall. I have owned a few Nissans but after this, and reading all the complaints about the same problem this is my last one. I could have killed myself or someone else if this had caused an accident. It seems to me that everyone driving a Rogue is driving a ticking bomb since you have no idea when this is going to happen. This needs to be addressed and investigated as to why Nissan is not fixing an issue that they know exists. Do they care that little about the safety of their customers.

Traveling on the highway 70-75 mph suddenly the car lost power and sped down to 45 -50 mph,I try to press the gas down to the floor and no results' pulled over for 10 minutes and then resumed to drive. I checked the ratings and notice many complaints about the same problem . Very dangerous situation,I don't think Nissan wants anybody kill on the road because of negligence ! pay attention to the complaints and re-call the vehicle before a casualty happens please!.

After driving on the highway for about an hour, the car decelarates and I am unable to keep up with traffic. This will continue until I am going about 55 mph. Once I get off the highway and stop, the car will not go again until after a few minutes. This can be very dangers when trying to get into traffic after traveling onthe highway. This has happened 4 times now. This needs to be recalled by Nissan ASAP.

While driving on the highway, my 2010 Nissan Rogue will lose power. I have to press the gas pedal all the way to the floor and the car decelerates; there is absolutely nothing I can do. The last incident occurred 8/11/2016. I was driving at about 75mph; on a highway which is flat and the car completely lost power; speed went down to about 60 mph. Finally regained speed on flat stretch of road but every time we hit a slight incline we would lose power. I was using the cruise control and when this happened it would just decelerate completely. It did it sporadically. After I stopped and then restarted the car and proceeded again, it seemed better for a short time; then it would start up again. It's very scary and everyone was passing us. . . . . Including other Nissan Rogues and some tiny cars?? this is clearly an issue that needs a recall!! please help!.

I have a 2010 Nissan Rogue that has 60,000 miles and the last couple of years it has began to lose speed when on the highway going 65mph. When I would push on the gas pedal it would not accelerate past 40mph. This would happen when driving longer than 1 hour and when going uphill. None of the service lights would light up, but it was very scary driving on a highway going 65mph one minute and then 40mph the next minute, especially this highway has a minimum speed limit of 55mph! this has been my only real safety issue with this vehicle other than the tires constantly deflating and the awd does not do as well I expected in the snow.

While driving on the highway, my 2010 Nissan rouge suddenly would drop the speed to under 55mph. I would push the pedal to the floor but it still would not accelerate. No warnings or engine light displayed on the panel. This was a very scary experience. What is someone didn't pay attention and rear-ended me because of my sudden speed reduction without a warning. I am scared to drive my car on a interstate. I payed a lot of money for it and now it has a very limited use. I only hope that Nissan will carefully look into this problem. Someones life could be lost because of it. This is a very serious safety issue and I know that I'm not the first person to make this complaint.
