Failure Date: 08/07/2018

I have a 2013 Nissan rouge , 2. 5 , 2 wheel drive with cvt transmission. I was in highway driving 60 Mar, suddenly, speed went down to 40 , now power, I have to pull over,. . . I show it to the mechanic and it is a transmission,. . . I called a dealer and I was told that is not under warrenty. I noticed many similar complaint with this brand model! why your company does not enforce a safety laws and fine the Nissan company for selling defective cars to the public where they put people life in danger? what boy , if I was stuck by big truck or the cars in the freeway and died! would Nissan company accept any liability? the Nissan company should be punished for the irresponsible act . I bought the car for 24000. 00$ and still are paying my monthly payment and it does not make sense to me at all that I have to spent another 4000. 00$ from my pocket to fix their fault defective transmission? why they do no re call it? why they are selling it to the public that they know for the fact that is unsafe car to dive????? my car was in the motion 60 miles an hour in the free way and speed went down by itself, m and the transmission start acting,. . . You put in drive or reverse it does not move at all?????? there are many complaint similar t o mine at your data base or other company or google,. . . It is a safety risk to drive this king of Nissan in the road, especially in the high way, even 5 years old knows that. The Nissan company should be fined and enforced bt law enforcement , your company, court,. . . To recall all the Nissan rough and repairs or replace their fault transmission free of charge.

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.

Myself with my 6 year old daughter were driving from new haven, CT to fitchburg, MA. About 1 hour into the drive, my 2013 Nissan Rogue would not accelerate beyond 40mph!!! we were in steady fast moving traffic on a hot July 20th, 2018 afternoon, heatwave weather! it was terrifying!!! I put on my blinkers and slowly veered to the right lane! I had to get off the highway and make it to the nearest gas station. After several frantic calls to family members trying to figure out what to do, I decided to add engine oil, anti-freeze, gas and water hoping something would help. After sitting for an hour, I drove on the local roads to try out the car again but realized I had to get back on the highway and try to accelerate above 60mph again!!!! we made it to our 3 hour trip destination. The next day on the way back, the same problem happened and this time after stopping for a while my car still would not accelerate until we sat with the car off for an hour in the heat in a town that I am not familiar with! we had to use all local roads to get back home and that took double the time because I had to keep pulling over so the car could cool off some!!!! several mechanics have told me that I need a new transmission. It is too expensive to fix right now!!! I'm so disgusted with this car and cannot wait to get rid of it!!!! if a location takes over an hour to get to, I can't drive this car!!! my car is a pearl white color. The paint peeling on the hood and sides of the door is a whole other frustrating problem that gets worse and worse!!!.

Failure Date: 07/07/2018

Takara recall - while driving on freeway at 70 mph on the freeway, vehicle stopped accelerating and I was forced to pull over. The vehicle then shut itself off. After a few minutes I was able to restart my car but it would only accelerate slowly up to 20 mph. My car did get up to 55 mph finally but I was not able to return to my selected route home. Was forced to drive with hazards on by way of a country highway only.

43 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 12/11/2017

At approximately 6:30am, I woke up to my vehicle alarm sounding. The vehicle did not respond to the remote when I attempted to shut it off. I went to check what was the problem as the vehicle was parked in the driveway. The vehicle was on fire. Fdny was called to put out the fire.

44 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/12/2017

I was in the middle of a busy intersection getting ready to cross onto the highway, when I noticed that my vehicle would not fully accelerate. When I got over 40mph, I began to hear strange noises coming from my engine, like a whistling or wining sound. I have previously heard like a squeaking noise while driving my vehicle before, but thought that maybe it was my brakes, because I old heard it sometimes when I would come to a stop, or pull off. Just last month I put a new battery in my vehicle, but my car just shut down on me one night while I was out. Then a couple weeks later I notice these noises I just refered to. My check engine light then comes on maybe a week or two after I just put a new battery inside my car! again I think maybe its just something small. I always get regular maintenance done, so I knew that I was due for a transmission flush aiso. . Not a mechanic, so thinking that maybe that was why my light was on. I then ended up paying about $200 for the flush, and my light was still on. I went to a couple different auto shops and let then check my light only to be told that I needed to take it to a Nissan dealer because they think its the transmission or maybe the O2 sensor, but only a Nissan dealer can confirm that!. So I did, only to spend an extra almost $100 for a diagnostic test, when I told them what was said. So final results: I need to replace my ctv transmission on this vehicle that I have only had since Feb. 2016 and still have a loan out!!! and file 2 claims with Nissan, that took ten days, only for them to tell my they will not be reimbursing, or replacing, or assisting with this because they vehicle does not have a current recall for this make, model, and year. However, they are aware that there are recalls on previous models of the same vehicle for the same issue!!!!!!!.

45 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2017

Pearl white paint is peeling off for no reason. Rust is now visible on some spots. Normal use and I only have 38,500 miles on it. Took it to the dealer 2 years ago when only a quarter size spot was visible. Now it is many more and larger spots.

46 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/08/2017

Cvt transmission fails during acceleration at intersections; transmission fails when going uphill and starts rapidly DE-accelerating putting vehicle at risk of being rear-ended; even on level highway, Nissan Rogue will start losing acceleration putting vehicle at risk of accident and injury/death to passengers. Totally unpredictable and unreliable.

47 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/11/2017

In April of 2017 while driving ther wa a metal on metal sound coming from underneth the car while stepping or accerlating on the gas. After taking to my mechanic I was advise that I needed a new catalytic converter there was no engine light notification. I recieved a letter in November 2017 from Nissan stating that the evaporative emission vapor tube may develop a clog. After speaking with my mechanic he stated I should filed a claim which I did . Nissan stated that my new catalyic converter had nothing to do with my emmissions. I refiled my cliam after having my mechanic wrote a narrative I then recieve an e-mail from Nissan stating that after reviewing my vehicle indentification number, there is no evaporative vent tube warranty extension related to the VIN and those would be the reasons why the request would be deined.

48 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/12/2017

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.

49 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2016

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.

50 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/20/2016

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!.

While driving speed the limit of 70mph my car reduce speed to 40mph. . . On the highway . I could not increase the speed. . . I try byy pushing the paddle to the floor it still would not increase speed. Now it began to make noise as if it had a cold and the engine lite comes on. So I stop at auto one to have it check and it said that the torque converter was having problem. Since this is a major problem . I went to my mechanic. . And he check everything to see what was wrong. . Change the oil, and all suppose to be replace. And also added a cleaning fluid to clean out any clogs and dirt. . . Now it's been six month and once again I have the same problem with the cvt. . So now I take it to the dealership. Same thing . . . Oil change and so on. I very scar now because my car is reacting badly and no one can't see the problem. So I google my problem and found that 7 people with the same problem with their Nissan rrogue. I believe this is a major problem with the making of this model car . And it's not something that can be fix without taking the transmission completely apart which will cost 3,000 and not included labor. . . I purchase my car two years ago it should not be acting this way and neither should the seven other people that purchase these vehicle. When will someone correct this when someone get seriously hurt.

52 Equipment problem

Started 3 day ago stalling while driving down the road. The steering wheel locks up and lose power even with the accelerator all the way down. Almost got rear ended. The engine is still running but have to put in park and turn engine off and restart. Happened 4 times today on my way to work. You lose power with everything but engine still working. Called Nissan to see if there was a recall because there were a lot of complaints with this same problem and they said no. This is a very serious problem that needs to be investigated. Nissan wanted me to bring to dealership and pay 114. 00 just to get a diagnois . Online they said it was a fail safety which Nissan should be responsible before someone gets badly hurt or killed.

55 Equipment problem

I filled up my gas tank. Turned the gas cap until it clicked and drove away. A few days later my car gives me a warning that my gas cap isn't tight. I tighten the gas cap however the warning keeps popping up when I start my car. The warning eventually goes away but my engine light comes on. I buy a replacement gas cap from the parts store however the engine light stays does not go away. A fe days later the engine light turned off. Everything is fine I go to get gas and tighten my gas cap. A few days later the gas cap light warning sign comes on again. The engine light follows a few days later. I take the car to the auto mechanic shop and he tells me I need an authentic Nissan gas cap. He orders one and puts it on and reset the engine light. Nothing is wrong with my car. I ride around a few days and the engine light stays off. I go to have my car inspected by the state for the emissions test everything is fine. A few days later my engine light comes back on. I take it to a different mechanic shop and have them test the car. They tell me the read out says it's a slow leak from the gas cap. He tighten the gas cap and reset the engine light. A few days later the I receive a warning sign about the gas cap and then the engine light comes on. The gas cap warning and engine light has been coming on and going off for over four years now. Both mechanics told me that the engine is not recognizing the gas cap. It's an authentic Nissan gas cap I purchased earlier this year. One mechanic told me Nissan has a bulletin out about the gas cap but has not completed a recall.

Passenger 2 airbag light at times does not register when my 74 lb daughter is sitting in the seat but it will register if my purse is in the seat. At times it will flash on and off then stay off. Yesterday 5/6/14 I ran errands then when I went to get my daughter from school. The check engine (malfunction indication light as called in vehicle book) came on. I took the vehicle to auto zone and the test shows its the oxygen sensor. Was advised to check upstream & downstream sensors as well as catalytic converter since these can cause damage to it as well. I should mention the employee telling me this built Nissan vehicles for 23 yrs. Today I have an appt at the Nissan dealership. I've only had this vehicle 3 months = not happy.

My 2013 Nissan Rogue makes a loud howling noise at speeds over 65 mph.

61 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/06/2014

While driving in temperatures under 40 degrees the interior windows fog within minutes of being in the car when the heat is on. Turning on defrost and opening the windows does not help. I've had to pull over numerous times to prevent a car accident because the visibility is so bad. The problem seems to be worse at night, but does happen during the day too. When the windows appear to be clear and the car is left outside for at least 30 minutes, whatever moisture is left in the car freezes to the inside of all the windows creating a layer of ice. It has taken well over 30 minutes and even close to an hour to get it to clear enough to be able to safely drive. But once you begin driving again the fog almost immediately returns. There has also been unexplainable moisture in the carpets as well as in the spare tire compartment. During a 3 hour car trip there was a layer of ice on all the windows that never cleared the entire time, despite the car being warm, defrost on, and it being sunny weather. The car has been in six times to two different dealerships and no one can seem to figure out what is wrong.
