Eight problems related to automatic transmission torque converter have been reported for the 2013 Nissan Rogue. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2013 Nissan Rogue based on all problems reported for the 2013 Rogue.
Check engine light came on. Rogue was sluggish with poor acceleration when I would go faster than 50 mph. Vehicle had about 107,800 miles. It was determined the cvt (continuously variable transmission) is the problem, torque converter and left side axle were bad and had to be replaced. Total cost was $3,942. 58. This is a common issue for model year Rogues from 2008 to 2016. However there are no recalls for my 2013 Rogue and I checked my VIN on Nissan's website. I also spoke to a rep at Nissan and she stated that my Rogue is not on the list for any of the technical service bulletins and there are no recalls for my model year Rogue. However she acknowledged that this is a common problem for 2013 Rogues. However, I found a bulletin TSB ntb13-079d that the reduced performance is due to cvt fluid temperature protection logic re0f10a cvt transmission or a bad torque converter which requires the transmission to be replaced. This affects 2008 to 2013 Nissan Rogues TSB ntb14-002d.
Check engine light is on. Rogue is sluggish with poor acceleration when I go beyond 50 mph. Vehicle has about 107,800 miles. It appears that the cvt (continuously variable transmission) is the problem, possible torque converter is bad or the reduced performance is due to cvt fluid temperature protection logic. There aren't any recalls and I checked my VIN on Nissan's website and they state that my Rogue isn't on the list for any of the technical service bulletins. However, this is what I found: TSB ntb13-079d � reduced performance due to cvt fluid temperature protection logic � re0f10a cvt transmission 2008 � 2013 Nissan Rogue � TSB ntb14-002d problem � the reduced performance is due to the cvt fail-safe mode, which will reduce the vehicle speed to protect the transmission from further damage.
Torque converter malfunction diagnostic code p0744 requiring replacement of transmission at 66,000. Noticed stalling at highway speeds.
2013 Nissan Rogue, 100,000 miles. I was driving the vehicle south down the interstate from charleston to orlando, ~70 mph, driving normally in June 2019. Around the GA/FL border, when I would hit the gas pedal to accelerate, the spedometer wouldn't go higher. The engine would rev, and the rpms would increase to 3-4,000. Happened for about 10 minutes until I got to an off-ramp. After the car cooled down for 45 minutes, we got back on the road since it was a Sunday night in the middle of nowhere GA, kingston to be exact. It drove well for the rest of the drive down to orlando with stops every hour. Same thing happened on the way up from orlando to charlotte, rpms went up, spedometer didn't move. Let the car cool and then it drove fine at lower speeds. Took it to a Nissan dealership when I got back and they diagnosed the transmission as having a faulty torque converter, p0744 was the code that came back. 12 hours of labor, saying they needed to replace the transmission. Found the service bulletin: ntb16-090, and it seems like it's spot on, happened after prolonged driving in high temperatures. After reading the bulletin, it connects the dots for why my engine would sound weird when I was driving in the mountains, the engine would start to sound really trying after some time. Saw that a number of Nissan vehicles have been recalled due to faulty cvt transmissions, and I don't know why Nissan 2013 Rogues have not been recalled yet.
Vehicle starts running hot after on interstate for approx. 30 min, temp will return to normal if heater is being ran on high. Diagnosis was thermostat needed to be replaced. Vehicle runs hot after thermostat was changed. While on interstate for approx. An hour vehicle still running warm. Temp returns to normal while heater is on high. While on cruise control rpms increased suddenly to 4500 with a speed of 70. Slowed down to 60 and rmps continued to climb to 4500 until I pulled over on the side of the road. Torque converter clutch solenoid failing. Temp fix, sprayed connection cleaner on torque converter clutch solenoid, rpms are still slightly elevated from normal, but manageable for now.
2013 Nissan Rogue. Consumer writes in regards to problem with torque converter.
On interstate I 75, car suddenly acted like not getting gas. Slowed down but was still going. I got off and went to an adjacent Ford dealership. The put a computer on it and said it was a torque converter problem. Advised to drive to Nissan dealership. Which I was able to do. They put computer on it and said Ford diagnosis was correct but also a transmission problem. Ref 15-084a. The dealership did mot mention that this was supposed to be a covered repair. Charges would be 3600. +.
When I start my car it makes a rattling sound as if something is hitting the ground. After I drive for almost 45 mins on highway my car speed will all of a sudden come down from 70 mph to 20 mph and then it wont accelerate even. I was about to be hit by a truck on the highway, but somehow I managed to move the car in the buffer. I stood there for 20 - 30 mins and drove again, it was somehow moving. Also if I am uphill the car wont move it will tend to go back. When I tried to accelerate the rpm was reaching till 4 or more, but the car will not move at all. Another incident happened was I was waiting at a red signal. I was the first one in the line, as the signal became green, I removed my legs from brake, the car wont move at all. Even tried to accelerate it somehow was able to reach only till the center of the signal when the signal changed to red. I was in a panic situation, I somehow dragged it to the other side. All this happened only within 2 weeks I bought the car from a Nissan dealer (it was an used car). I took it to the delaer for inspection, they checked my car and gave me error code p0744 (torque converter) and said it can be resolved only by changing the complete transmission and would cost around 5400 dollars. When I asked why they didn't check during safety check in first place before selling the car, they gave me an answer like they cannot find issues in car until its driven on road. Not sure what kind of safety checks the dealers perform then. I could have met with an accident due to this. When I asked them for fixing this they said I should have bought a warranty and its my fault I didn't buy a warranty, and they gave me a car as-is. I told them it was not the question about giving me a car as-is, I wanted to know what kind of security testing they do before giving a car, when they gave as is why they didn't mention about such issues. Please help.
