Engine stalls while driving by model year

What owners say

Filed Aug 2, 2023 · Transmission · CO

The transmission/power train on this vehicle is experiencing common failures as reported by many owners. On my way to work, my Nissan Rogue began to stall and lose speed while on the highway. The speed decreased from 70 mph down to 50 mph. Approximately 5 minutes way from work, my vehicle barely accelerated through 4 way stop while making left turn which posed a high risk with on coming traffic headed in my direction I had my vehicle inspected by my ASE certified mechanic and was informed that my Rogue prompted transmission failure code. He (Dale Baca, Alternative Auto Care in Thornton, CO) also informed me that this was a recurring issue with my Nissan Rogue as well as other Nissans with the CVT transmission. No indication of failure or warning lamps was given on my dashboard on the day of July 28th, 2023.

The CVT transmission is failing on longer drives in warmer weather. The car stalls and stops accelerating and eventually stops running altogether. This has occurred when my daughter is driving on the highway and it is a huge safety risk as it renders the car disabled in traffic.

I was in motion on the freeway. I heard a loud pop then a metal to metal sound. I was towed to a mechanic who stated the subframe is damaged and bushings. Online searches showed me other models of nissan were recalled for this. Mine did not show up on the recall list but it probably should. How does this just happen? I don't feel safe. I have children to keep safe. The electrical part is that my vehicle hesitates to nearly a stall, especially in idle at say stoplights. I also had to have the transmission rebuilt due to a defect with your transmission. My windshield wiper spray does not work and I was told a part would be coming in for me from japan. It's no longer under warranty and I still have not received the part. I got a lemon. I can't afford to keep up on maintaining what was supposed to be a reliable car.

Car doesn't accelerate on long trips it stalls down to 40-0 MPH on interstate leaving you to wait 30 mins on the side of the interstate before it accelerates. I almost got hit by a big truck because of it stalling down. I've taken it to multiple shops and no one knows what the problem is. This is very dangerous

We travel to orlando which is a 3 hour drive we go 4 times a year and the rogue fails on us at least 4 times every trip. After an hour on the highway are vehicle struggles to accelerate we go from 80 to 60 and car feels like it struggles with the pedel to the floor. Also when the AC is on and we are at a light the car trys to stall. And the airbags are defective the airbag on the passenger side doesn't recognize anyone in the seat and the one on the dash just blinks. I'm afraid they won't deploy if in an accident. First and last nissian will ever buy. The loss of acceleration I think is a death waiting to happen big hazard. We have this vehicle for three years and same problem from day one

My 2010 nissan rogue stopped accelerating properly on a highway. I could not properly merge into traffic. Very scary!!! I made it home and thought it was a fluke. It then began stalling periodically, and the acceleration issue continued. We needed a new transmission at 78k! Flags forward 46k more miles on replaced transmission,...the problem reappeared and was worse! Nissan won't replace this one and was very rude, unprofessional and won't semi the problem and serious safety issue. This was my third nissan, but my other two were muranos and never had an issue. My experience here was so scary and so disappointing with nissans dismissal of this serious issue that we will never buy another and will tell all our friends and family too. You should not buy from nissan as they do not stand behind their products!

I started my rogue and left a driveway as I approached a stop sign about 2 miles ahead the car stalled. I was still in gear, the engine was off, and the check engine light was on. After stopping I was able to restart the car after a few tries. Then, for the next 2-4 miles it revved really high and seem to be in a recover mode and would not allow me to go over 40 MPH. The service center can't replicate and claims that the oil was overfilled. There were some codes but they didn't feel those applies to the incident therefore this issue isn't warranted. This is a major safety concern for myself, my family, and other drivers on the road that nissan refused to acknowledge or remedy. The fuel pump was replaced.
