3 Transmission Noise problem

Failure Date: 08/15/2019

When driving my 2013 Nissan Rogue further than 30 miles going speeds of 60mph or greater the rpms race out of control, the car dangerously reduces speeds on freeway even while the accelerator is still pressed. I have to turn off car on the side of the freeway for 10-15 mins before trying to drive again, only to have the speeds reduce and rpms race out of control again. If you are trying to go up hill for a short distances or go up hill on entrances ramps, exit ramps, or up hill on bridges there is the same lag in transmission. The rpms race out of control and Rogue dangerously reduces speeds. There is also a loud whining noise when you press accelerator beyond 60mph or going up hills, ramps, or bridges. I'm frustrated with Nissan they know about this issues with this model 2013 Nissan Rogue. They've even extended the transmission warranty for 2008-2010 with the same issue just under a different name. They also acknowledge its a problem for models 2008-2013 through there 2015 Nissan service bulletin. My frustration is Nissan wants me to pay thousands for a known problematic safety issue with these models and years. But refuse to do so. If they can extend the cvt transmission warranty for the 2008-2010 they should also extend the ctv warranty for the 2013 model that's having the same issues with the cvt sensor and valve. I've only had my 2013 Rogue since 08/2019. The Rogue was �fixed� once but all was done is transmission fluid was changed in 08/2019. Now it's one year later and same exact issues are occurring and they are refusing to fix again as a customer satisfaction.

4 Transmission Noise problem

Failure Date: 07/15/2019

The car has approximately 85,000 miles. Took into the dealership for service because of rough idling, loss of acceleration and a whining noise when accelerating. Dealership came back and said transmission was bad. Discovered that cvt failure in 2013 Nissan Rogue is common and a known issue. Recalls have been issued for some models but not all even though many owners have experienced the same problems.

5 Transmission Noise problem

Failure Date: 06/14/2019

A month after buying the vehicle brand new I brought it to the dealership because of excessive shaking and jittering and whining noises. They said it was normal that it's the new style transmission. Now 140k miles later. I'm onn a trip with cruise control set at 75 I noticed I was slowing down it slowed to 60 while driving down the interstate in the middle of fast moving traffic. Turned cruise control off and attempted to accelerate. Once I pressed the gas pedal it did nothing. Rpms didnt go up mph didnt go up. It was like it just shut off. I got to the next exit pulled off on side turned the vehicle off and then back on. It was fine about an hour later it did the same thing so stopped at a gas station checked fluids everything normal. Got back on the interstate it was normal again. Made it to our destination and vehicle seemed fine the next 2 days but we never needed to drive over 55. On the trip home it started again about an hour in. So we stopped ate and got back on the interstate. This time we kept the speed under 65 the entire trip home and it was fine. Brought it to the dealership to get it checked out to find out that it's my transmission that needs to be replaced.

6 Transmission Noise problem

Failure Date: 05/18/2019

Driving 70-75 mph on I-80 west less than a year after bought used. Began hearing high-pitched whine that stopped when I lifted my foot from the accelerator. Continued two miles to plaza with sound getting louder and had to coast into parking area because transmission would no longer engage. No revving, nothing. Towed home ($213). Fine for months, then happened again on turnpike. Pulled over, waited an hour to cool. Drove rest of distance going 50 mph or less. Finally had to floor gas pedal to get any movement after stoplights. Now makes buzzing-screaming noise every time it starts, in neutral or otherwise. Nissan dealer says $4,000 for repair. I'm 67, on fixed income and still making payments!.

7 Transmission Noise problem

Failure Date: 05/05/2019

2013 Nissan Rogue has the worst transmission problems ever and no one is doing something about it!! my vehicle constantly loses power. It whines. It makes noises. It loses power suddenly. I have put many complaints in with the dealer and they say their is nothing wrong. . . . Wtf are they smoking crack?? or. Is it because Nissan USA doesn't want to pay?? NHTSA please do something before someone gets killed on the highway trying to push the vehicle to the side or gets hit by an 18 wheeler b/c the �13 Rogue just dies on the highway. If you investigated Nissan USA data base over the last 5-8 years you will find huge numerous complaints about the cvt transmission on this vehicle. Or. Look at carcomplaints. Com. You will again see what is happening and again. . . . Nissan USA does nothing. Why did Nissan extend the cvt warranty on the following years. . But not the �13�s. Because something is wrong and it's huge money they have to spend. We are in a covid 19 time and people lost their jobs and funding is limited and to have someone pay out $6000 for a new transmission. . . Which Nissan USA should be fixing themselves is unethical, immoral and basically fraudulent and should be addressed immediately and hold Nissan USA feet to the fire. . . Period!!!! NHTSA. Please help. You are the last resort. I don't know what else to say. Best michael catuogno.

8 Transmission Noise problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2018

I was driving from bloomington CA to phoenix az. . As I approached an incline on interstate 10 the vehicle began to climb the grade it suddenly began to loose speed and power. A whirring noise was comeing from the engine /transmission compartment. The vehicle quickly began to loose power and speed. It quickly went from 70 mph to about 10 mph. I luckily reached the top of the grade and pulled over to the side of the road. I could not pull over earlier because large semi-trucks were having to go around me. This caused a very dangerous situation since it is only a two lane highway and I was impeding traffic. When I pulled over I shut the engine off and opened the hood to see if there was some obvious reason for the problem. There was not. I let the engine cool a liitle then proceeded on to see if I could make it to my destination. I proceeded at a low speed until I got to to my destination. I had noticed in the past some issues with climbing inclines but never to the extent experienced presently. I went to the dealer in az and was toldit was the transmission and was probably caused by transmission overheating. Since the trip was only a couple of days I will have to try to make it home as is.

9 Transmission Noise problem

Failure Date: 01/25/2018

While driving the car on a highway in heavy traffic, it began to shake and make a loud noise. Within a couple of minutes the car began to slow down and would not accelerate. After pulling over in the middle of heavy traffic the car completely stopped. The car was towed to a Nissan dealer and the it was found that the cvt had an internal failure with no movement. Although Nissan was contacted immediately they refused to assist with the repairs of the car because the mileage deemed the car out of warranty. There were no indication that this problem was going to occur. The transmission was defective and faulty and had to be replaced. After researching the problem, I discovered that Nissan has had problems with the transmissions of Rogues in the past. The vehicle was then towed to a aaa car care center for repair.

10 Transmission Noise problem

Failure Date: 07/07/2016

About 120 miles into a trip to virginia from hartford, CT, my 2013 Nissan Rogue began to lose power. My car currently only has 68,709 miles on it. The "check engine" light came on. Flooring the gas pedal, I continuously lost power and just prayed I wouldn't lose power with a semi truck behind me. I made it to virginia, but on my way back I was climbing a hill and my acceleration decreased dramatically. The car began to buck and I could only go about 35 miles per hour up the hill. When I got to the top of the hill and gravity took over, the problem ended. Within a week after finally getting home, I took the car to harte Nissan dealership in hartford, CT. They told me it was my cvt, a transmission issue and that I would have to pay for the entire cost of repair. As I drove away from the dealership, a low grumbling and grinding noise could be heard. The car was bucking badly from about 15-40mph. I turned around and had them look at it again and they basically told me that my transmission was in the process of dying. I drove away again and almost immediately the car was losing power on acceleration, until finally, within about a 1/4 mile away from my home, the car bucked one last time and stopped moving. Again, this was at a busy intersection with cars coming up very close behind me. I have called Nissan USA and they told me there was a recall on the cvt for Rogues only up to 2010. I believe this problem has extended far beyond 2010 to other Rogues, including mine.
