I was driving on i70 from lakewood, co to new castle, co and about half way through the drive, no mater what gear I was in or how hard I push the gas peddle down (floored it), my car would only go 35-40 MPH on the hills. I was on a highway where the speed limit is 65 and in some places 75 and it is very unsafe to be stuck going only 35-40 miles an hour.
2010 Nissan Rogue transmission complaints
Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 124, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
When driving in a high way at 70mph car would lost conection with engine none responsive and can cause major accident car transmission practacly goes on on nutral doesnt respond to gas pedal.
Near the end of may of this year, the car started losing power on the interstate. It became unresponsive to the pedal and would only go about 40 MPH. It also made horrible noise and vibration. Vehicles going 70 MPH had to avoid hitting it. This happened on bridges in louisiana where off ramps are miles away. Took it to nissan dealership and was told I needed a transmission replacement, no repair parts. Cost $3,800 plus tax. Discovered nissan's extended warranty, 10 years of 120,000 miles, whichever comes first. Car has 101,000 miles but was purchased in march 2010, past 10 years by 2 months. If I purchased in june 2010 nissan would pay. Since bought in march, nissan refused any responsibility. Was able to get it repaired for $3,200 with a rebuilt transmission with 12,000 miles 12 month warranty, which ever comes first. Same type of trans that nissan admits is faulty. Don't feel safe, but can't sell car with good conscious.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 nissan rogue. The contact stated that while driving at various highway speeds the vehicle failed to respond when the accelerator pedal was depressed. After stopping and allowing the vehicle to rest for several minutes, the vehicle operated normally. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer nissan of gastonia (2275 east franklin blvd, gastonia nc) where it was diagnosed that the transmission cooler needed to be replaced. It was also deem that due to the damage caused by the cooler failure that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 nissan rogue. While driving 65 MPH, the vehicle decelerated to 25 MPH with the accelerator pedal engaged.

Made it home. Did not happen again until 9/26 called mechanic said he was standing looking at a 2019 that the guy said is doing the exact same thing. Made a whirring noise and lost power, he said it was a 5-6k transmission fix and he would get my car in this coming monday to hook it up. I told mendalls that we haven't had any problems besides the highway trips and he said the other guy said the exact same thing. 109 powertrain transmission deceleration complaints.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 nissan rogue. While driving at unknown speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. After the accelerator pedal was depressed several times, the vehicle restarted and an abnormal cracking noise was heard. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the differential needed to be repaired and there was no warranty. The vehicle was taken to pomoco nissan of hampton (1134 w mercury blvd, hampton, va 23666, (757) 206-2704) where it was diagnosed that the kick panel harness connector needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 73,952.
I have a 2010 nissan rogue I have been having issues with loss of power when driving on the highway while driving at 70 miles an hour it starts decelerating to 60 and the 50 MPH sometime when I'm at a light it will not take off. I will put the the car I drive or reverse car will not move. Also I was trying to pass over another car and when I pressed the gas vehicle would not respond. This is a safety issue if I ever saw one why will nissan not take care of this CVT issue I don't know why they don't address this problem before more deaths occur. This issue has happened on hwy. I-10 driving from houston texas to katy texas wich is about 25 miles.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 nissan rogue. The contact stated that the pinion nut became loose and the driveshaft detached from the rear of the vehicle. The failure occurred while traveling 35 MPH. The contact could not steer and had to stop the vehicle in the middle of the road. The vehicle was towed to straub nissan (205 straub dr, triadelphia, wv 26059, (304) 233-2222). The contact stated that the dealer would not pay for the repair because the pinion nut was not covered under warranty; therefore, the contact would be responsible for the cost. The contact was waiting to hear back from the warranty department. The manufacturer was not contacted. The cause of the failure was not determined. The failure mileage was 120,000.
One week after purchasing the car, I took it on the highway where the speed limit is 75 MPH. After about an hour the speed slowed to 65, then 60, then 50 etc., even tho the gas pedal is to the floor. Cruise control also had no effect. I had to pull over in a very dangerous situation. After a few minutes, I got back on the road and up to speed again. This has happened now 3 times in 2 days.. So obviously I don't feel safe taking it on a busy highway. From what I gather, this is a transmission cooling issue and is remedied by installing a $1200 external cooling unit of some sort that nissan is aware of but won't address(?) I am not happy.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 nissan rogue. While driving 70 MPH over smooth or flat road surfaces, the vehicle felt as if it were on an incline. The vehicle decelerated to 20 MPH. The failure was experienced numerous times. On one occasion, the vehicle decelerated and the contact was able to move the vehicle to the left lane. The contact had to place the gear into reverse and reverse the vehicle in order to shift into drive. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the continuously variable transmission failed. The contact consulted a second independent mechanic who stated that the transmission could not be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
125000 miles and the CVT transmission failed. I was om my way to the store and it started grinding and was done.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 nissan rogue. While driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle stalled while making a left turn. There were no warning indicators illuminated during the failure. The failure occurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to modern nissan of lake norman (18615 statesville rd, cornelius, nc 28031) where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 112,000.
I took the car to the dealership I purchased the car from because there were winning noises coming from the left side in the engine/transmission compartment. In addition to cut and unsealed wires under the dash and in the fuse box, as well as a stuck caliper (that they replaced for my convenience according to the service manager). The car has been in the dealer for a total of 2 weeks in the 1 month I have own the car and they have only fixed the caliper. My concern with the cut and unsealed wires is that lights (parking brake and battery) in the dash turn on while I am driving and it has turned off on me when coming to a stop. It happened to my wife (with my newborn in the car) when she was driving the car in the highway, she came to a stop because of traffic and the car turned off on her creating an unsafe environment for both my newborn and child. The response from the dealer was "we are unable to duplicate the failure, the computer doesn't show any codes" yet it happens to me frequently.
Driving on I-76 on cruise control at 75 MPH when vehicle starts to run rpms in excess of 4k while losing acceleration. Pull over and turn off vehicle. Check under the hood, slight burning smell. Wait about twenty minutes, turn vehicle on, won't accelerate at all. Wait some more, drives for a little while, then high acceleration with loss of speed again, this time never going over 60 MPH. I'm lucky I was not rear ended on the interstate and killed with my two year old son.
After driving on a highway with my nissan rouge 2010, with continuous speed of 55 to 60 MPH for about half hour, and then came to a full stop, due to traffic congestions, the car won't run or accelarate, even if I push the (gas) pedal all the way to the floor. I have to turn off, and turn off the engine to get it going again. It happened many times during warm or hot weather. In winter, it seems to be fine. The dealer said it was transmission problem, but they charged me, even they have not found or fix any issues.
Transmission display symptoms of failure while going 65 miles an hour on a highway with my children and ultimately stalled out.
2010 nissan rogue driving on highway I-57 northbound around 159th doing the speed limit of 60 the conjuring start slowing down I pulled over on the shoulder and turn the car off and it would start up it wouldn't say anything had the car towed to a mechanic saturday morning monday they told me the trance wisconsin CVT trans the car is has 84000 miles 2010 excellent condition no major issues and they won't honor the warranty on the car
Drive shaft broke and took out shift gear cable.. Car was in motion and just stopped dead in middle of the road. Upon calling nissan to inquire cost of drive shaft they replied " we have them in stock because this is very common, happens all the time"
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 nissan rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH, the vehicle went into safe mode and independently decelerated. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The contact stated that the failure usually occurred after two hours of continuous driving. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced the issue several years ago and the transmission was replaced by the manufacturer free of charge. The manufacturer was contacted and informed that the failure recurred. The dealer information was not available. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 128,324.
After approximately 2 hours of driving on the highway, the transmission goes into "limp" mode. Nissan states this is the result of the transmission overheating and the only solution is installing a new nissan external cooler. Car will barely reach 55-60 MPH especially if going up hill. Also, once the car is stopped it will not accelerate quickly. The first time this happened it gave no warning and it almost caused an accident due to the accelerator not responding when my attempting to turn across oncoming traffic. This is going to cause an accident with serious injuries or worse if not addressed. There was no warning the transmission had overheated and gone into this mode. The first sign was the car simply failing to accelerate with the gas pedal depressed to the floor. Multiple times the car has just suddenly decelerated in heavy highway traffic from 75 MPH to 55 MPH after only 1.5-2 hours of highway driving. This seems to be a significant defect that is going to cause an accident. Also it appears that this issue has been ongoing for a extended period of time with little to no effort from the manufacturer to address the issue.
On the highway going an a 1.5 hour trip the 2008-2010 rouge transmission will over heat causing the vehicle to go into "limp" mode with no warning which means it has no power. Nissan sent out a service bulletin to their service departments in september 2016 acknowledging their is a defect and the fix is an external cooler but they refuse to fix my car. If a family of 4 is in the car and they don't know what to look for the vehicle could go into "limp" mode and when they try to pull back onto the highway they could lose power right in the middle of the highway and get struck by oncoming traffic and be killed. Who would answer for that? Fletcher nissan in joplin mo are the ones who told me to contact you because nissan corporate are the ones refusing to fix the issue. It has happened to my family several times in our car. At first they said we just needed the transmission flushed. We bought the car with 10000 miles on it and it has been doing it ever since we have had it. Luckily I knew what to look for and kept my family out of harms way. Josh houchin the service mgr. At fletcher nissan said they have had 5 2008-2010 rouge vehicles come in in just the last few months with the same defect. So it is not just my vehicle. They need to recall all the affected vehicles before someone dies because of this. Thank you
My 2010 nissan rogue will not accelerate when going uphill on the highway. When flooring the gas pedal, the car will slow down from 70 to 60 to 50 to 40 MPH on a uphill (there were only three passengers including driver). The car transmission will eventually stop working until the car cools down. Took car to a nissan service center and was repaired under nissan's CVT 10 years/120k miles warranty referencing tsb ntb14-002e. The valve body was removed/replaced and an external cooler was installed to resolve the issue.
While driving at highway speeds, vehicle suddenly decelerated to 50, then 35, then 20 MPH. Fortunately, we were near the exit and were able to leave the hwy. After shutting off the vehicle and waiting a few minutes, the vehicle performed normally. This is the 3rd time in one year of ownership this has happened.
Cvt transmission overheated due to the following normal driving conditions 1. Hot weather (92 f) 2. A long drive (over 3 hours) 3. Driving up highway mountains in virginia. Fail safe activated causing the car computer cpu to drastically cut power to the wheels. This caused a lack of power such that I could not accelerate up the hill in excess of 45 MPH. The speed limit on the hill was 70 MPH. Eighteen wheel trucks were immediately behind my rogue forcing me to pull onto the road shoulder allowing them to go past. I brought the car to a local nissan dealer who confirmed from examination of the car cpu that the transmission overheated and that an overheat code was found in the cpu. They also confirmed that the fail safe was activated that caused the severe power loss. The nissan dealer knew exactly what the problem was from my description. Nissan is aware of the problem and even extended my transmission CVT warranty from 6yr/60,000 miles to 10yr/120,000 miles. However, their solution to this problem is to install an auxiliary CVT transmission fluid cooler at an expense to me of $1225. My dealer checked with nissan and said they would not cover the expense even though the transmission in my car is still on warranty. Documentation of my exact experience can be found on youtube @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg_zf1eo0pw. There are several more videos on youtube under rogue CVT power loss and documentation on many sites on the internet. In conclusion, nissan is installing CVT transmissions in several of their model cars with a known overheating issue and requires their customers to install a transmission fluid cooler at the customers expense. The dramatic loss of power is a big safety issue. In my case I had to speed up to get up the hills as my speed dropped from 80mph down to 45mph finally pulling onto the shoulder.
This started happening right after the last recall feb 2016. Was going at 65 MPH little uphill (from 1200 feet to 2200 feet) then the speed started dropping from 65mph to less than 30mph on a busy california I-15 freeway. I had to pull the car from the far left lane (5 lanes each way) to the right shoulder where I stopped for about 35 minutes then started the car again. It happened at least 4 times since they messed up my car in the last recall. Other issue I experienced was when I stopped at a traffic light and tried to move, it barely moved then all of the sudden it jumped, it was very risky. I had to pull to a parking lot (this happened 3 times)
Well I was driving in the highway with speed limit of 80 MPH, car suddenly went down to 40, almost hit by a big old truck, jeez glad to be alive, I loved nissan n I had my first car as nissan n switch to toyota but now I wanna try nissan as it was my fav, now I missed my toyota, atleast toyota csr are helpful in fnding the problems. Nissan dealers oh boy they don't know whats going on, I think they r just pretending. If anybody is buying nissan, think twice if you wanna risk ur life. Hope noone gets hurt on highway with the same issues!!
9-5-15 was making a right turn car came to sudden stop in the middel of turn.ending up finding out the tranission blow cost me 4500.00 to put a new transission in. Once I got the transission put in I toke the vehicle back telling then when at a stop sign or lights the car would die out. Sometimes the car has no power when taking off. Car has been to 3 differant shops for the dieing out, it has no codes no one can find whats wrong with the car.
While driving on the highway, my 2010 nissan rouge suddenly would drop the speed to under 55mph. I would push the pedal to the floor but it still would not accelerate. No warnings or engine light displayed on the panel. This was a very scary experience. What is someone didn't pay attention and rear-ended me because of my sudden speed reduction without a warning. I am scared to drive my car on a interstate. I paid a lot of money for it and now it has a very limited use. I only hope that nissan will carefully look into this problem. Someone's life could be lost because of it. This is a very serious safety issue and I know that I'm not the first person to make this complaint.
