When the CVT transmission gets hot the power from engine to transmission begins to reduce. This safety feature leads to massive fuel consumption as well as complete loss of power while driving. This has caused myself to be stuck in the middle of intersections on multiple occasions. This "safety feature" didn't start doing this until 50 miles past the warranty expired. At first it would take hours of driving before this would happen and it seems like each time it happened it took less and less driving time before it would happen again. Currently my rogue is around 150k miles and I can't go more than 20 miles before it happens. I took the rogue into shops for a full tune-up every30k miles trying to be sure it last for as long as possible, so I know it isn't an issue of neglect. I have researched online trying to find a solution to the problem and all I have found are thousands of other owners with the same issue. Some owners have had the problem begin as early as the 10k mark. Since the introduction of the CVT transmission every vehicle it is used in has this problem. Nissan needs to address this problem before it causes a death from pure neglect on their part. I've owned 4 nissan vehicles and loved them all but his is the first one I had that didn't make it past 100k miles before having a major issue.

From day one I have had nothing but problems out of my rogue. It won't crank half the time and then it started stalling on the interstate. While trying to go over hills or trying to accelerate the rpms would rev up but the vehicle would lose speed. I would start out going over a hill doing 75 MPH and by the time I reached the top of the hill I was doing 60 MPH. The car actually stalled in the middle of a four way intersection and after being driven for 30 or so miles the vehicle would start missing on the interstate. I brought the vehicle to the dealership and the transmission was replaced. This has solved the speed control/stalling problem, but the new transmission doesn't want to shift gears. I was told this was an upgraded transmission with two gears and that it would shift different from a regular transmission.
