What 606 owners told NHTSA about the 2013 Nissan Rogue Select

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.

TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACED DUE TO CVT PROBLEMS WHICH NISSAN IS AWARE OF AND HAS NEVER ISSUED A RECALL. SOME ISSUES INCLUDE: LOUD/WHINING NOISES WHEN ACCELERATING, DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING, SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER, AND INCREASED RPM EVEN WHEN SPEED IS DECELERATING.

NHTSA ODI 11352556

DRIVING FOR ANY DISTANCE 30-40 MILES OR MORE, THE TRANSMISSION FAILS. THE VEHICLE STARTS TO SLOW DOWN WHILE THE RPM'S RISE AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTS MAKING A HIGH PITCHED WHINING SOUND. THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME ANY TRIP OF 30 MILES OR MORE IS ATTEMPTED, USUALLY ON THE INTERSTATE. IF THE VEHICLE IS ALLOWED TO SIT, USUALLY FOR 2 HOURS, THE VEHICLE WILL START AND OPERATE NORMALLY FOR SHORT DISTANCES. DURING THE MOST RECENT EVENT,.THE VEHICLE HAD NOT TRAVELED 30 MILES WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND DURING THIS EPISODE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WHINED THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION STARTED SMOKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES BEGINNING APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS WITH THE MOST RECENT EVENT BEING 8/18/20, YET THERE ARE NO RECALLS.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (MORE THAN 70 MPH) AND THE OUTSIDE WEATHER IS HOT (80 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT OR HIGHER), THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DROPS ACCELERATION TO 60 MPH AFTER ABOUT 1.5 HOURS OF DRIVING, AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE ANY FASTER THAN THAT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES WITH THIS VEHICLE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE.

DURING A 600 MILE ROAD TRIP ON INTERSTATE AND 2 LANE HIGHWAYS, OUR 2013 NISSAN ROUGE BEGAN HAVING ACCELERATION ISSUES AFTER ABOUT 4 HOURS OF DRIVING. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 60 MPH EVEN WITH GAS PEDAL PUSHED ALL WAY. THIS WOULD HAPPEN SEVERAL MORE TIMES. WE FOUND A MECHANIC IN A SMALL TOWN WHO COULD NOT IDENTIFY ANY SPECIFIC PROBLEM. IN A LARGER TOWN THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED SO WE TOOK OUR CAR TO THE LOCAL TIRE AND OIL CHANGE TO CHECK FLUIDS ETC, NO ISSUES WERE FOUND BUT WE WENT AHEAD AND HAD OIL AND FILTERS CHANGED. PROBLEM OCCURRED ONE MORE TIME ON OUR WAY TO OUR DESTINATION. WE DID NOT TRAVEL ON HIGHWAYS FOR A FEW DAYS. ABOUT 5 HOURS ON OUR WAY BACK HOME WE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE ON THE INTERSTATE BEYOND 55 MPH, EVEN WORSE ON HILLS. WE PULLED OVER AND ALLOWED CAR TO REST FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES. WE MANAGED TO GET HOME. THIS PROBLEM DID OCCUR ONCE OR TWICE OVER THE YEARS DURING DAILY CITY DRIVING BUT NEVER TO THIS EXTENT. OUR NORMAL DAY TO DAY DRIVING DOES NOT REQUIRE HIGHWAY/FREEWAY DRIVING.

VEHICLE TRANSMISSION JUST STOPS ACCELERATION LOSES POWER. WAS ALMOST HIT MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE VEHICLE JUST STOPS MOVING. INTERSTATE TRAVELING IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. SPEED WILL DROP 20+ MPH AND WITH PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. DATE LISTED IS TODAY BUT PROBLEM HAS BEEN FOR MONTHS NOW.

AFTER DRIVING FOR SEVERAL HOURS ON THE INTERSTATE THE CAR STARTED LOSING POWER AND WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 60 MPH

NHTSA ODI 11343573

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO WARNING THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER. WHEN I HIT THE GAS THE RPM WENT UP BUT NO POWER . FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND AVOID GETTING HIT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BUT WHEN PUT IN DRIVE /GEAR THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE . I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MY HOME 30 MINUTES AWAY. THE MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT, THE CODE WAS FOR SPEED SENSOR. NOW LOOKING FOR A MECHANIC TO FIX IT . I EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT .

NHTSA ODI 11341576

MY TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED SOUNDING AS IF I HAVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION INSTEAD OF AUTOMATIC. IT ACTS AS IF IT IS WAITING FOR THE GEAR TO BE SHIFTED AT LOW SPEEDS AND HIGH SPEEDS. ALSO, DRIVING TO AUSTIN LAST WEEK, I NOTICE THAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE PAST 60 ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. MY MPG ALSO FLUTTERS BACK AND FORTH. AFTER ARRIVING BACK HOME I LOOKED UP SO INFORMATION AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER RODGERS OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IF THIS IS THE CASE, I AM CONFUSED AS TO WHY THEY ARE STILL SELLING THEM. AND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A MASSIVE RECALL. HAD I KNOWN THIS, I WOULD NEVER HAVE GOTTEN THIS VEHICLE. IF IT IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER IF ISSUE, THE COMPANY SHOULD BE FIXING THESE PROBLEMS. I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL, I GET MY CAR FIXED OR MONEY BACK.

VEHICLE WILL DECELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH GAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER FOR THE ENGINE TO "COOL OFF" BEFORE PROCEEDING. IT HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. I DON'T EVEN HAVE 100,000 MILES ON MY CAR, TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT BE FAILING.

NHTSA ODI 11340772

CVT TRANSMISSION IS MAKING A HORRENDOUS NOISE AND STAYS IN LOW GEAR THROUGHOUT ,NISSAN MURANO I HAVE , RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION CHANGED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM , , EVERY BODY INCLUDING THE NISSAN TECHNICIANS, SAID THIS TRANSMISSION IS NO GOOD , WHY ARE WE NOT PROTECTED BY OUR GOVT. TIME FOR A RECALL .NISSAN HAVE HAD SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS THEY HAVE ADDED 10 YEARS AND 100000 MILES TO WARRANTY FOR SOME VECHICLES BUT NOT OTHERS , TIME TO DO SOMETHING, PLEASE COMB THROUGH THE RECORDS AND SEE HOW MANY COMPLAINTS

ANYTIME I DRIVE MORE THAN 30 MINUTES MY ACCELERATION DOESN'T WORK. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE IF I STOP AT A STOPLIGHT AND IT TAKES A BIT BEFORE MY CAR WILL START DRIVING AGAIN. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I GET HIT FROM BEHIND BECAUSE CARS THINK I SHOULD BE MOVING BUT MY CAR IS INCAPABLE OF IT. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY.

NHTSA ODI 11337344

WHEN DRIVING MY CAR WILL BE MOVING JUST FINE AND OUT OF NOWHERE I WILL LOOSE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR WILL GO UP TO 3 RPM AND STAY, WILL NOT GO FASTER WITH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. THIS WILL HAPPEN WETHER THE CAR IS IN CRUISE CONTROL OR NOT. THE CAR WILL ALSO LOOSE ABILITY TO GO UP HILLS AND PROPERLY ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. THIS HAPPENED LAST SUMMER AND HAS BEEN FINE FINE THIS WINTER. FRIDAY IT STARTED AGAIN THIS TIME IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS ALMOST CAUSED A SEMI TO CRASH INTO US AS IT WENT FROM 70 MPH TO 50 VERY QUICKLY WITHOUT WARNING. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE FOR THIS REASON. THEY ONLY WAY I KNOW TO FIX IT IS TO STOP, TURN OFF THE CAR AND WAIT. THIS DOES NOT MEAN IT WILL FIX IT. I HAVE LOOKED INTO IT AND IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THIS CAR DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH MILES TO WARRANT A NEW TRANSMISSION.

WE BOUGHT A USED NISSAN ROGUE AND HAD IT TWO DAYS WHEN WE HAD NO POWER AT STOP LIGHTS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WE WENT TO AUTO ZONE AND THE RAN THE TESTER ON IT AND CAME BACK WITH LOTS OF ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WE LIVE PAY CHECK TO PAY CHECK WE CAN'T AFFORD A NEW TRANSMISSION. PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I'M READING ALOT ABOUT NISSANS TRANSMISSIONS. PLEASE FIX THESE THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSIONS. I PROMISE I OR NO ONE I KNOW WILL EVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN. *TR

COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE EXPRESS WAY. INTERMITTENT ISSUE THOUGH HAPPENS MAINLY ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR JUST LEAVING THE OFF RAMP. I SEE MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR NISSAN ROGUES FROM 2008-2014. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS MY WIFE WAS ALMOST REARENDED ON THE EXPRESSWAY BECAUSE SHE CANT ACCELERATE. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND IS GETTING WORSE AND MORE OFTEN AS TIME GOES ON. MECHANICS HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE BESIDES REPLACING THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. SHE HAD TO DRIVE ALL THE WAY HOME GOING 25MPH DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY YESTERDAY FROM OHARE WHERE SHE WORKS AS A FLIGHT ATTENDANT HOME HERE IN LAKE VILLA, IL. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED!! SHE US NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE HER OWN CAR. *TR

CAR JUST HIT 85,000 MILES. MY NISSAN 2013 ROUGE IS DANGEROUS AND AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN AT A TURNING AT STOPLIGHT IN HOT WEATHER (ALL THE TIME IN CA) THE CVT TRANSMISSION SLOWS THE CAR TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP. YOU JUST TURN OFF AND ON THE CAR TO RESTART. I'VE ALMOST BEEN T-BONED 2X, COMPLETELY HAZARD. ALSO, ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER DRIVING AN HOUR IT FAILED TO GO OVER 40MPH IN A 65 ZONE. ALSO AN EXTREME HAZARD, THIS CVT TRANSMISSION MUST BE RECALLED AND REPLACED AT NO COST TO CONSUMERS IMMEDIATELY. PART IS FAULTY DUE TO NEGLIGENCE OF NISSAN. *TR

AFTER CRUISING THE CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (70MPH) FOR AROUND AN HOUR THE CAR BEGINS TO SLOW DOWN ON IT OWN AND EVEN FLOORING THE GAS PEDAL WON'T INCREASE THE SPEED, IT WILL JUST REV AT HIGH RPM AND START SLOWING DOWN. THE CAN BARELY SPEED UP TO 30MPH AFTER THAT AFTER CONTINUING TO FLOORING THE GAS PEDAL AND REVVING THE CAR AT IT'S HIGHEST RPM. THERE ARE NO ENGINE LIGHTS. THE CAR HAS TO BE TURNED OFF FOR 10-15MINS BUT SOMETIMES EVEN THAT DOES NOT HELP. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP THEY OFFER TO PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH COST AROUND $4000. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE FOR ALL ROGUE CARS. *TR

NHTSA ODI 11325485

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT THE SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AND WAS COMING UP TO A SMALL HILL. THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AS NORMAL TO GET UP THE HILL. AS SOON AS I BEGAN TO DESCEND THE HILL, THE CAR WAS STILL TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND THE RPMS STARTED TO GET UP TO THE 6000S. I IMMEDIATELY TURN OF CRUISE CONTROL AND LET THE RPMS GO BACK DOWN BEFORE TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO STAY GOING TO SPEED LIMIT. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE RPMS WOULD GO UP QUICKLY WITH BARELY ANY TOUCH TO THE GAS PEDAL, SO I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR GAVE ME NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER AND LEFT ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHILE TRYING TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AT A SAFE SPEED WITH 18-WHEELER TRUCKS HAVING TO SLOW DOWN AND GO AROUND ME CAUSING OTHER CARS TO SLAM ON THEIR BREAKS TO AVOID REAR-ENDING THE TRUCKS.

WHILES DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AFTER A FEW HOURS MY CAR LOST POWER. PRESS THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR WILL NOT GO ANY FASTER. LOOK LIKE THE TRANSMISSION LOOSING POWER VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION NISSAN AND LEGAL AUTHORITIES SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS.

NHTSA ODI 11302611

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!

NHTSA ODI 11302094

THE VEHICLE RADIO GOES ON AND OFF, THE DASH LIGHTS AND GAUGES GO ON AND OFF AND THE VEHICLE JERKS AND THEN STOPS THIS ALL WHILE DRIVING
