general problems of the 2013 Nissan Rogue - part 2

The 2013 Nissan Rogue was stationary in a parking lot and caught on fire a few minutes after the engine was turned off. The vehicle only had about 77,000 miles on it when this happened. The vehicle was looked at by an engineering company and suggested that the fire was caused in the engine area.

My car engine light came on and the light made like a car with tire tracks behind it and got it tow because it wouldn't crank, and had a diagnostic test and it showed a problem with ecm.

No acceleration but rpm's almost red line coming out of toll booth on maine turnpike then quickly accelerates. Again at 70 mph in center lane barely able to get into brake down lane without any power. Very dangerous vehicle that's been well maintained.

I have a 2013 Nissan Rogue. I have had it a little over a year and at right below 60k miles it started acting funny. At first it was like it was having problems shifting while on the highway. Wasn't constant but here and there. I took it in to a mechanic an they said there was nothing wrong. I kept driving it. Later on it started to jump on flat roads, took it to the dealership still nothing wrong with it. I then was having trouble going up hills, an eventually I would loose speed an couldn't go anywhere. I had to park on the side of the road or highway and wait 20 minutes, then my car would be fine again, until the next big hill. I brought it a Nissan dealership they said I needed my transmission fluid changed so I paid the $200 an had it changed or flushed or whatever it is that they do. I still had problems to the point where now my car is not moving. I brought it back an the Nissan dealership now said that I had multiple problems with my transmission an it was going to be very expensive to fix, that I should just replace it. But why? my car is 5 years old an has less then 60k miles on it. Ive heard plenty of stoires of Rogues doing this, I feel like there should be a recall of some sort.

I was driving for about 40 minutes uphill on a freeway when my 2013 Nissan Rogue started to lose speed. First I couldn't accelerate more than 60mph, then 45mph. I had to be towed home and was told I need a new transmission. After reading so many similar complaints, I am convinced this should be investigated and recalled.

Cvt transmission died while on the highway. Three different times this happened to me in the highway going at 75 mph and lost complete acceleration with the gas pedal depressed all the way. My rpms went up to 8000 this last time. Rosen Nissan in madison did the diagnostic on it on the Thursday prior to my departure on my trip , and said that all that needed to be done was transmission fluid replaced. Apparently there wasn't anything wrong with it in the first place. Prior to my having this all done I had researched why my car would stop accelerating completely and the reasons were due to the cvt transmission which had been recalled in a number of Rogues and murano and versa�s. Many had to have their transmissions replaced and they extended the warranties on some of the models to 120k/10 yr. Mine wasn�t! tell me why a car with 110k that's 5 yrs old would all of a sudden die if there's not something wrong with the actual reliability of the way the transmission was built in the first place? going in circles with Nissan they're denying anything wrong on their end and won't replace something that clearly a lot of issues have been reported with this transmission!! someone please make Nissan accountable!.

Cvt transmission/automatic transmission problems: the entire transmission had to be replaced as it stopped working completely in the middle of the street. While in motion. After researching online, the #1 problem for 2013 Nissan Rogues is this exact issue. These transmissions were build poorly.

The car started DE accelerating as I drove. Going from 70 to 45. It wouldn't pick up speed as I pulled off an exit to get to a gas station. I live in atlanta and took a trip to savannah. It did this the whole way down and back. I've only had car since Feb 2016. It has roughly 102000 miles and some change.

I was driving in arizona on a highway in my 2013 Nissan Rogue. The vehicle has 54,000 miles. The speed limit was 75 mph. Suddenly the vehicle would not let me accelerate, the rmps would not let me go past 2500. I was driving in the left lane on a two lane highway and could not pull over due to other traffic. The temperature gauge was not even half way. No service or engine lights engaged. Kicked the car out of cruise control and couldn't turn the air conditioning on. This has happened a few times in the past. The 2013 does not have the extended warranty for the transmission so Nissan continuously tells me they cannot help me.

If car is in drive but stationary (like in a traffic light), the engine starts to vibrate substantially forcing the driver to shift to neutral. By doing the above the car can move backward impacting other vehicles, cars etc.

Tamara recall: vehicles acts like it's going to die when I am in gear and stopped at a light or stop sign etc.

Driving from yuma to san diego doing 70 to 80 miles per hour until I hit the hills. I reduced my speed to 65 and set my cruise control. Never had a/c on it was still cool, before noon. Half-way through the hills I lost acceleration and cruise control shut-off. Rest of the way through the hills was in the slow lane/emergency lane going 25 to 30 miles per hour. Finally made it through the hills but by the time I was able to exit i8 I was going 20 then 15 then 10 miles per hour. After an hour of letting the car sit I started again put in in reverse and that's as far as I got. I had no power at all in "d" or "l", had to have it towed 51 miles. Obviously Nissan has a problem with the Rogue model after reading other complaints on carcomplaints. Com.

Tl-the contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that when driving at 75mph the vehicle decelerated to 20mph. There was no warning light before during or after the failure occurred. The contact stated that the vehicle regain speed. The contact stated that the failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to two anknown dealers that were unable to locate a failure code. The vehicle was taken to an unknow mechanic, that mechanic that performed a diagnosit that located failure codes at the alternator and central diagnostic technician. The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 70,000. Li.

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.

When driving in the summer heat and going up a hill or for a long period of time, the car starts to slow down, even if you push the gas pedal all the way to the floor. It is scary when you are needing to turn out into an intersection for instance, because you can't move the car out of the way quickly enough, which a person could be hit by other oncoming cars. I was never told that the car has this problem and after the first time that it happened to me, I took it into a Nissan dealership and they said that problem is common with the 2013 Rogues. So after learning that, I have gone online and found there are several people who have the same problem with their Rogues. I would have liked to know that was a common problem with that car. I wouldn't have bought it had I known.

1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the primary system affected appears to be the cvt transmission. Additionally, the engine computer (ecu) and electrical system (including battery, driver-side window, and turn signals) have shown repeated failures. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? during sudden loss of acceleration, the vehicle would not respond to the gas pedal for 10–20 seconds. This created dangerous situations when merging onto highways, crossing intersections, or making turns, as the car could not accelerate to avoid other vehicles or hazards. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? yes. Independent mechanics confirmed repeated ecu and maf sensor failures. In February 2025, after the vehicle stalled at an intersection, multiple repairs were attempted (alternator, key reset, starter replacement), but the drivability issues persisted, confirming the problem. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? the vehicle has been inspected by independent mechanics multiple times. Insurance roadside service documented over ten incidents where the vehicle would not start or stalled, including two towing events. The manufacturer has not inspected this specific vehicle. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? yes. The check engine light for the mass air flow sensor would illuminate before and during drivability issues. These warnings first appeared in 2017, the first year of ownership. Other symptoms include engine chugging, electrical irregularities (window failure, rapid turn signal flashing), and sudden loss of acceleration.

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!!!!.

I have a 2013 Nissan Rogue that the transmission just died on me. The car has 103 k miles and died on me in the middle lane of a 3 lane highway. I was doing 70 mph and the car speed dropped to less than 5 mph. I had my foot on the pedal for a good minute but the car won't go over 5 mph. I finally managed to safely get out of the highway and the car just died on the side of road. Towed the car to the Nissan dealer and was told the cvt transmission needs repaired. They know that older models were covered under a Nissan extended warranty for the cvt transmission,but my 2013 Rogue was not covered and there was nothing they can do. This car is dangerous to drive. The speed on this car should not just drop from 70 mph to 5 mph in a matter of seconds, it is dangerous. Nissan is aware of this problem but won't admit it. Can someone please look into this. There's a lot of people out there driving this cars and not know how dangerous they are. Nissan needs to fix this issue before someone loses their life over this.

On June 17, 2017 while driving in California on the highway, the Rogue began to slow down and not maintain speed. The Rogue was driving smoothly and all of sudden it slowed down from 75-80 mph to 60 mph . I pushed the gas pedal all the way to floor and even turned on my overdrive button with no luck. This issued lasted for several miles until it just started working again. This problem continued off and on for the entire trip to and from California . There was even multiple instances where the Rogue would not excelerate after stopping at a stop light . I pushed the gas medal to the floor and it would move more than 5-10 mph for several hundred feet until it worked again. We have owned this vehicle for 3 years now and haven't had a problem until now. We live in arizona with extreme heat and I have read other people's posts about heat could be a problem, however we see extreme temperatures every year since we owned it with no problems until now.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. While driving at an unknown speed, the rpms increased from 500 to 600 and the vehicle decelerated independently. An independent mechanic inspected the vehicle and informed the contact to shift gears. When the contact did so, the vehicle was able to operate normally; however, the failure recurred six months later. The vehicle was taken to nelson Nissan (800 w queens st, broken arrow, ok 74012, (918) 258-9901) to be diagnosed, but the cause of the failure was undetermined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

While driving on 101 north passing through santa rosa, CA on may 29, 2017 going the highway speed limit of 65mph, my 2013 Nissan Rogue was struggling to get up a small incline when the mph suddenly dropped to 30 and I could not get the car to go any faster. The road was packed with cars as it was memorial day weekend. I had 3 children in my car. We barely made it over to the shoulder when the car completely went dead. It was absolute sheer luck that there was no accident. Cars were swerving all around me to avoid hitting me. I was in the far left lane and had to cross over 2 other lanes (going 30 mph on the highway) to get to the shoulder. My car is only 3 years old and has 85,000 miles on it. My dealer said "this type of problem is common" with this model. I googled "2013 Rogue cvt transmission problems" and found hundreds of similar complaints: this happens on the highway, at highway speeds. This does not seem to happen on surface roads. This is very, very dangerous. The company was besieged with cvt complaints and fixed their 2010 and 2011 models, but this problem is still happening with all subsequent Rogue models. People need to know about this.

At around 56,000 miles the engine would rev on its own when id go up hill then no problems until 6 mths ago where @ 66,000 miles the car would desperate on its own from 70mph to 55 then 25 on the highway. I had to drive with my hazards on. I would then push the gas pedal to the floor and it would take 10 seconds to get to 50mph. The car has no power it seems like.

The vehicle idles and vibrates constantly when the gas pedal is used. My wheel may not vibrate 10 minutes out of a half hour drive. It either barely will take off from start or it completely floors it and excels. Feels like a diesel rugged vehicle and not a smooth normal ride like any car or SUV should ride. I complained the day it was purchased and have hated it ever since.

Car won't turn on randomly. We have replaced the battery five times. Each time the car randomly stops working every few thousand miles. The car will take ten or eleven tries to start. This is extremely dangerous. If for any reason we ever needed to leave the car cannot start quickly. It happens randomly, not all the time (sometimes it starts fine after one turn, the next time it could take five minutes to finally start, then go back to fine). No one has been able to tell us what is the cause of this defect.

I am having the same cvt transmission issues as a lot of people. It overheats while driving on the interstate for longer than 45 minutes on a warm day and the vehicle becomes unresponsive and can't accelerate past 40 mph. This is incredibly dangerous and has left my family and I stranded on the interstate a few times now. I can't trust this vehicle at all and fear for the safety of my family. Nissan can't find anything wrong when they hook it up to the computer because there is no code error at this point and it won't do it when the dealership is just cruising around town for 15 minutes (surprise surprise and a very convenient issue for Nissan). I have a complaint filed with Nissan and I am bringing it to the dealership again for inspection. I hope they actually find something because if they can't its incredibly negligent on Nissan's part and is a known issue it seems from simple research. A recall is needed ASAP. This is incredibly unsafe, especially when in the middle of a busy interstate and the car is unresponsive. Nhtsa please do something.

I recently bought my Rogue at the auto nation Nissan dealership in marietta. I began my first long distance trip back home on the hwy and the car began to lose speed. I had to stop on the side of the interstate to properly assess the situation. Figured it could have been just a fluke, began to get back on the road and with my foot all the way down on the floor, the car would barely run. Called Nissan dealership and the service manager suggests that I turn my car off and let it sit because it's overheating due to GA weather. Now, it is hot, but there are millions of cars in GA that don't have to sit every hour you're on the road. He said after then, to just drive on the hwy at about 60mph. Sir this is the interstate. Not possible. People will run over you. Took it right back to Nissan and a few days later, they stated to me that there was nothing they could do. They did not properly assess the situation as the service manager told me that he drove it on the city streets. I get online and research only to find that others are having the same issues. I don't want anyone to have to go through this, Nissan needs to recall this vehicle. It is terrible. Essentially, you're paying for a glorified scooter! I need this problem taken care of immediately!.

We drove an hour on the highway and suddenly the rpms went over 4000, and the car started decelerating, we were unable to get or keep highway speed, even with pedal all the way to the floor. Luckily we were able to pull to side of highway. After 15 minutes it seemed to function, but a mile later it did the same thing. Even worse on any sort of incline, even slight. For fear of our safety, we had to have vehicle towed 55 miles back home. I looked it up and am wondering why there is no recall?? our safety as well as others also on the road is at risk!.

Lost the ability to speed up after traveling above 70 for an hour and a half. Car began slowing down and I had to pull off on the side of the road, turned the car off and waited about 10-15 minutes before I could accelerate again.

2013 Nissan Rogue caught on fire less than 10 minutes after it was parked in driveway, after a short trip running errands. Vehicle was not running when fire began. Initially, smoke began to escape from under hood then quickly caught on fire. Entire front end of vehicle burned before fire was extinguished.

My 2013 Nissan Rogue awd loses acceleration on the highway. I live in a mountainous area and it appears to happen when accelerating up hill. It happens every time at between 65-75 mph. I will be accelerating up a hill at 70 mph and it will drop down to sometimes 50 mph even when pressing I'm the accelerator completely. It's very dangerous when semi trucks are passing you in the mountains going 10 under the speed limit. This is a major issue and Nissan should recall them immediately. I've heard of many other complaints across the globe with this model. My Rogue is only now at 57,000 miles. I noticed the issue at 50,000 miles. I am an excellent driver and I do not speed.

The transmission consistently overheats (service dept told me this is what the issue is) and caused the car to go into "fail safe" mode which means you have no power. I was travelling in an 75 mph zone and the fastest I could get to was 60. Tractor trailers were having to slam on their breaks. I put my flashers on to make it safer. This has happened on 6 different trips. Per the svc dept this is a known issue with the Nissan Rogue and the fluid gets too hot. This is a very dangerous issue because you do not know it is in fail safe until you attempt to give the car more power like to pass or something. Very very dangerous. I have video of the incedent if needed.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. While driving various speeds, the vehicle suddenly failed to accelerate properly. The failure was intermittent. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000.

While driving my car for a few hours it start to loose power when going uphill this is very scary especially if I am driving with other traffic or in-front of a truck/trailer this is the third time I notice this issue and I am very concern about it.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. While driving at 70 mph, the contact noticed an antifreeze odor coming from the air vents of the vehicle as well as emitting from outside the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 4,000.

Vibration present at low speed 30 to 40 mph. In cold weather engine is loud like a diesel truck until vehicle warms up (around five minutes of driving). I owned a 2009 model and had same issues which Nissan could not fix after many visits. Will be last Nissan I will ever purchase again!.
