general problems of the 2013 Nissan Rogue - part 2

A month ago I was having acceleration issues with my vehicle. I was at a traffic light and could not make the left turn because my vehicle would not accelerate. I was able to pull my vehicle to the side of the road and had it towed. I brought it to Nissan and paid almost $5k for a new transmission. (2nd transmission replacement in the last 3 years). A month later having same acceleration issue, Nissan a week later said I needed a fuel pump. Drove home from the dealership after paying another $915 and my vehicle is giving off a burning smell, making horrible noise which wasn't present previously and struggling to drive.

My vehicle can never accelerate 70+ mph for more than 45 mins at a time, on the highway. The car will slowly start to decelerate to no more than 40mph. I'll have to pull over for about 10 mins and turn the engine off.

Car will stop accelerating when driving on the freeway for over an hour. This has happened about 10 times now. It only had about 50,000 miles on it the first time it happened. Several independent body shops could not detect the problem. In viewing other complaints, sounds like it's the transmission. Nissan needs to recall 2013 Nissan Rogues for this problem!.

While traveling to orlando florida on Sunday 05/27/2019, my vehicle stopped accelerating on the highway. The more I pressed the gas pedal the slower my vehicle became. By the grace of god an 18 wheeler truck saw my distress and guided me 1 mile to the exit on I-75 south. My car dropped down to 20 mph. This was the most traumatic experience. I was stranded from 6 pm Sunday until 6:30 am the next morning where I was then able to get my vehicle msu ran errands company to tow me 113 miles to my nephew's home in brayselton georgia where we took the vehicle to a Nissan dealership in buford georgia. They ran a diagnostic check to find out my transmission was gone. I never had an indication this was going out and now the price to replace this transmission is well over $5,000. 00. I am over 400 miles away from my vehicle and don't know how I will get my vehicle fixed. Dealership told me that since I am not going to get it fixed by them I need to come get it due to them not having room to store it until I can figure out what to do. The warranty only lasted for 60,000 miles or 5 years which ever came 2st. Why can't the warranty on such an expensive part be given a 100,000 mile warranty? people such as myself riding along going about their everyday business ot knowing the vehicle they purchased can literally be a death trap. This is so not right to have to come up with a large amount of cash for such a huge repair and still have a car note to pay. I would like for Nissan to go online and read the reviews of their product, stand by these people and stand by he product. It should not have to wait until someone loose their life to dig deep into seeing the problem.

Driving on highway, 65-70 mph, ambient temp about 89 degrees, vehicle has no acceleration, slows to about 45 mph, high pitched whining noise. Manage to get off of highway, after slowing traffic and pull to side of highway. Turned car off, sat by side of highway for an hour plus, started car, turned around and made it home -- about 30 miles -- in about an hour and a half, due to re-occurrence of issue. No lights came on. No warning, just loss of acceleration and inability to keep up with traffic.

Car did not accelerate when I pressed the accelerator pedal while I was driving on the highway after about 2 hours driving. This happened with no apparent reason and without any warning. It was very dangerous as I was driving on the left lane and had to cross for lanes in order to stop on the side. Several minutes later, after letting the car to rest, the malfunction indicator light was turned on. After few more minutes the accelerator pedal returned working.

Tl-the contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 40 mph, with the accelerator pedal depressed, the vehicle decelerated to approximately 20 mph. The vehicle was taken to walt massey Nissan located at 600 western bypass, andalusia, al 36420, (334) 731-4430, to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that there was too much transmission fluid in the transmission. The transmission was drained to the correct level however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted or notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 123,000. Ah.

Tl-the contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 70 mph, the vehicle independently started to decelerate. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed. The failure was intermittent. Neither the dealer nor manufacturer were notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,891. Ah.

Nissian Rogue 2013 looses transmission power climbing up low/medium/high grades (city and freeway). From town driving to city to long distance traveling any sort of grade. My 2013 Nissan Rogue went from 65 mph to 10 mph going up the "grapevine" on hwy 5 in California. My foot was all the way floored and my car would not go past 10 mph! large big rig trucks were honking at me in the slow lane and almost rear-ended me (trucks could not change lanes into the middle lanes due to traffic)!! as I slowly crept up the steep grade (from bakersfield, CA to los angeles, CA) and then descended, my car began to pick up speed again. Car was not overheated, no unusual noises, smoke, or warning lights. Took car into Nissan service center in san diego. Luckily, I purchased an extended warranty and they serviced my transmission. They reported to me that this is a "known problem with the 2013 Rogues. " "many transmissions have had to be replaced in the Nissan 2013 Rogues due to loss of acceleration power, whether city or freeway driving. "! I was extremely scared at the immediate loss of power in my vehicle as I tried to accelerate on the grade while big rigs were coming very close to my car! this is a serious problem and can cause fatalities!! big rig trucks cannot slow down instantly and if they are behind a Nissan Rogue that looses acceleration power!! this is a family vehicle and it is very scary to think about the loss of life because Nissan was negligent in recalling known transmission problems. I've researched similar situations as what I experienced in my own 2013 Nissan Rogue and there are many documented complaints, multiple transmission replacements in vehicles less than 5 years old, and yet the problem continues!.

I was travelling on the highway up a long incline when the accelerator pedal stopped working and the car began to decelerate. I was able to pull of the road. I turned the car off, then restarted it and tried to go and the accelerator pedal would not engage. There were no hazard lights illuminated and car temperature was fine. Approximately 15 minutes the car star working normally and I got back on the highway. The car drove okay for a while but on the next big hill the accelerator failed again, this time the cvt (transmission) indicator light came on. After waiting another 15 minutes, the car was still not safe to drive at highway speeds, the accelerator was sluggish and unreliable. I was able to get home by driving slowly on back roads, but will not be able to safely drive it again until this issue is resolved.

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.

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.

Loss of acceleration due to overheated transmission; my 2013 Nissan Rogue with 66,000 miles on it started to lose acceleration on a major interstate (65mph to 30mph). I took it to my local dealership and they told me that this is a common problem with Rogues, and that my transmission fluid was basically getting so hot it was boiling and had caused major damage to my valve body. I had to replace the valve body and put in an external coolant system which cost $2700. The repairs were not covered by Nissan as my transmission warranty was only up to 60,000 miles, however this is a serious manufacturing issue that needs to be addressed by Nissan.

When I drive my 2013 Nissan Rogue for over an hour the transmission switches to safety mode and reduces the speed in the vehicle. Once it cools down it drivea normal. Tjis has put me in very dangerous situations while driving on the highway. Did all of uts scheduled maintenance and also paid dealership extra for a cvt transmission evaluation. They said the transmission is faulty. Very dangerous to loose power while driving.

Beginning in November of 2017, acceleration began to have issues. When accelerating, the car would drag and hesitate before fully dropping into gear. All other components worked fine. I would allow the car to heat up 10-15 minutes in the morning and that did not help. Shortly after, each time I step on the gas, the engine revs tremendously despite the slightest acceleration. The pin will not move then move quickly causing a grinding/buzzing sound between 2k & 3k before feeling like it drops I tom gear, even at 15-25mph. This problem continues, but the cause can no to be diagnosed. In January of 2018, the warning lights on the dashboard came on and the car lost acceleration. Upon taking it to the mechanic, I was told everything tested fine, the software simply needed to be reset. After resetting, the light has not returned, but the acceleration issue has not changed. In March of 2018 after experiencing another abrupt slow-down on a side street, I parked the car and smelled a burning of some type of fluid upon getting out of the car. Once the initial smell dispersed, no sign of damage, leaking, or other issue was present. In April of 2018, no further acceleration issues have occurred, but the warning lights again came on. Again, nothing was diagnosed, it was said there was some type of software issue and simply needed to be reset again. Shortly after, the ac unit completely stopped working. I turned off the car, restarted and the system came back on, but no matter what blows out hot air which is hotter often than if the heat is turned on full blast. The car has been well maintained and undergone regularly schedule maintenance and has 84k miles. My mechanic ran the VIN and there's were no open recalls, however, the car was just diagnosed with an �electrical issue. �.

Loss of ability to accelerate. Transmission will go into fail safe mode after approximately 20 minutes of driving regardless of weather, or town or hwy driving. It has left me with be able to go 40 mph or less on the highway. Will not accelerate after stopping and when it does the rmps will be up near 4000 just to go 10-15 mph. On 3/31/2018 I had to be escorted off the hwy by chp because I couldn't keep up with traffic. This is not the first time is has happen. It occurs just about everyday. I have checked all my fluids there are no lights on my dash.

I was driving on ih10, in houston at 60-65mph, 6 lanes. Had driven 10-15 mile, car started trembling at steerring, did not feel in control of staying in my lane. Eased accelerator, tried again, felt same shimmy, unsafe. Easied to 1st exit, ASAP. 1st auto shop on campbell rd. Drove it, felt it was axle problem, but couldnt get it on lift til Monday. 2nd repair -silber auto service diagnosed same, got on lift within hour. Replaced next 2 days. I left , got rental, back home to nb, TX. Tuesday shop said it did not correct problem. Had it towed home by family Thursday, nb Nissan inspected Friday. 29,000 miles on auto, out of 5yr warranty. 'cannot duplicate concern" I do not feel safe driving Nissan at this time. I had gone to be with 93yr dad heights hospital w fractured lt hip, stayed 2 nites in hospital, started home to work 2 weekend shifts as pedi hh nurse on good Friday. I was prepared to keep auto for at least another 4-5 yr, as I am in late 60's. Very disappointed w Nissan, this my 2nd Nissan. Havee read other people with same concerns with same type vehicle. Was hoping they would correct the unsafe " concern". Will not trade into Nissan, but must take care of my own life/safety. Have taken good care of Nissan with oil changes, tire rotation, new battery, x2 new tires out of unrepairable flat, torn windshield rubber molding, flapping uncalled for on highway on previous trip to houston. Same nb Nissan repaired on my return. I had 22,000 miles then, last year. Nissan USA was unhelpful, unsynpathetic, I feel its just $$ & business as usual for auto industry. Thats what they do, pitiful.

My Nissan Rogue will suddenly lose the ability to accelerate. This has happened attempting to accelerate from a complete stop, while the car is moving, etc. It has happened on hills and flat surfaces. This is a very dangerous problem, as it has also happened mid turn and on train tracks. I took it in for service, and the dealer stated there was no problem when there clearly is. My own research has shown this is a known problem with Nissans, and is an issue with the cvt. I have complained to corporate and the dealer I took it into.

Cvt transmission. One owner comepletes all regular maintenance. While driving on the interstate the car makes a whining noise, loses power and will not accelerate. This caused semis to grid lock I moved off road to avoid getting hit and causing a multi car pile up. I look up and see complaints of the same nature by the 100's and sadly Nissan isn't willing to address the issue with the cvt on later models but extended the warranty on previous models with the same transmission.

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.

The Nissan Rogue 2013 has approximately 70,000 miles on it, and after extensive research have found my vehicle is not the only one that has a faulty cvt installed. Nissan is fully aware of the hazard they have been selling since 2008. Their vehicles enter "safe mode" after driving longer than an hour due to transmission fluid overheating, as a result of not having a cooler/fan. This safe mode causes your vehicle to lose power immediately and is very dangerous when driving on interstate or even highly trafficked areas. I have contacted Nissan customer service and they refuse to claim responsibility. This mechanical issue cannot be found by Nissan car repairsmen because it is factory installed that way. Please get recall. I have a 4 month old baby who's life is at stake.

If you have a sustained speed of over 40 mph for 30 minutes or more the car will stop accelerating. . Read more...

I was driving on a major highway and all of a sudden I loss power, the car never turned off but as I pressed on the gas pedal it wouldn't accelerate so I had to coast from the left lane all the way to the right lane to get to the emergency lane. Mind you there is oncoming traffic blowing there horn because of course I'm clearly not going the speed limit on the highway. I had to call a tow truck to take me to the closest Nissan dealership which I'm not familiar with because I'm out of town. But once I get there they tell me my transmission is out and I need a new one. I bought this car in 2013 brand new I'm the only driver and my transmission goes out in 2017. I still don't believe it's my transmission but who am I to argue but I have to put up $4,200 and I'm still paying on this vehicle!!! I should have went with my first mind and got my Cadillac. I will be trading this Nissan Rogue in and inform everyone I know not to purchase a Nissan at all. My warranty doesn't cover a thing, wow!!! I've had 2 other mechanics look at and they say it could be my sensors because my speedometer still moves when you give it gas and if it sits a while it will go forward and backward but not for over a mile or two. I really wasted my money on this vehicle.

The 2013 Nissan Rogue was built without having a coolant valve on the transmission. I can be driving down the road and all of a sudden the rpm on my car with begin going very high and the speedometer will never move all the while I am pressing the gas down to the floor. The car is going almost only 20 or 30 miles per hour at this point. I am not going up a hill or going very fast I usually only travel about 60 or 65 mph. It makes a whining sound and will not accelerate. I did take this issue up with my local Nissan dealership and they said what is happening is since there is no valve to keep the transmission cool then it overheats and loosing acceleration is a kind of way of "self-diagnosing" and attempting to cool down-due to there not being a valve on the car during manufacturing. I do indeed have an extended warranty for 100,000 miles up to 5 years, but they said they can not pay for the part because it was not on the car when it was made. They said they will not pay for parts to be put on the car. On November 25, 2015 Nissan put out a service bulletin on how to put the part on and are well aware that Rogues from 2008-2013 do not have this valve. I feel very unsafe that my car could lose acceleration at any point-and it has on the interstate, highway, and many other places. Nissan states that the Rogue had everything on it it was supposed to, but they can't tell me how they can put a bulletin out on how to fix this issue and they know this issue needs to be fixed, but then won't pay for the issue. I really feel there needs to be some type of recall on a car that does not have the proper valve on it to keep it from overheating. That sounds like a real safety issue to me, a single mother who works and travels with 2 small children.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan rouge. The contact stated while stopped, the vehicle accelerated independently without warning. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle stalled while driving. The contact called an independent mechanic regarding the failure. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but did not offer any further any assistance. The vehicle failure mileage was 100,000.

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.

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.

Car loses acceleration on warm days and driving on the highway for 30 minutes plus. Pressing on the gas pedal to accelerate only causes rpm's to increase but the mph of the vehicle does not. After pulling the vehicle over and given a chance to cool down, normal operations resume until the fluids in the cvt drive heater up again. This has happened several times and is very dangerous. If you are in a bad position on the highway and need to accelerate for some reason anc cannot, this can be a very dangerous situation.

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.

While driving on the interstate in a mountainous area, out of nowhere my car would no longer accelerate. I had to pull off of the road and restart the car to resolve the issue. Now this is happening on a regular basis if I drive my car for longer than an hour at 60+ mph, it will suddenly stop accelerating. In addition, in the last few days, after coming to a complete stop on the interstate off ramp, I tried to accelerate from a complete stop and the car just barely moved, enough for me to have pulled into oncoming traffic, but not enough to keep going to get myself out of the way. I had to quickly reverse to move my car from the middle of the road. If there had been a car behind me and I was unable to reverse I would have been hit. This problem has been reported over and over again as an issue with the cvt. My car is only a 2013 and just barely over the (crappy) powertrain warranty that Nissan offers on this car.

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.
