Hi, I am experiencing a known "CVT overheating" problem with my rogue. What's happening is that when the CVT gets more then some threshold temperature it goes to so called "safe" mode and the car looses speed dramatically, including situations on a high way. This is a safety issue! I brought me vehicle to the dealership 2 times and as a result they suggested to install a "cooler kit" by nissan which potentially can solve the problem just by cooling the CVT is a "better" way. They are asking for about $1200 for the installation. I see that as a nissan's design flow. I don't think paying for this out of my pocket is the right solution. I think nissan should start a re-call on that problem. This is unacceptable situation on how nissan handles it right now (in fact it doesn't handle it all). Thank you.

2010 Nissan Rogue transmission complaints
Page 3 of 5: complaints 41 to 70 of 124, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Several time the car has not accelerate properly from a stopped position. I would press the gas all the way to the floor and the car would not move until suddenly it seemed to "catch". Just recently driving at a speed of about 75mph the car gradually slowed and would not accelerate. It dropped down to about 65 MPH and then eventually gradually accelerated. When I got off the highway I came to a stop light. Again, the car would not accelerate. When I got home I put the car in park and tried to "rev" the engine and at first nothing would happen. I had my foot to the floor. The transmission in this rogue has already been replaced twice! This transmission has about 50,000 miles on it.
Traveling on the highway 70-75 MPH suddenly the car lost power and sped down to 45 -50 MPH,I try to press the gas down to the floor and no results' pulled over for 10 minutes and then resumed to drive.I checked the ratings and notice many complaints about the same problem .very dangerous situation,I don't think nissan wants anybody kill on the road because of negligence ! Pay attention to the complaints and re-call the vehicle before a casualty happens please!
I bought a new 2010 nissan rogue sl awd in july 2010. At about 50-60k miles, the engine would cut off if I came to an abrupt stop after traveling about 60-65mph and then braking ' at a red light for instance. I have also had an issue with the car not accelerating on the highway when pressing on the gas. This happened few times and I took the car to the dealer's service department, who said they could not identify a problem after doing a test drive. I find hard to believe nissan is not aware of this issue with these many complaints of same or very similar problems. Today, 9/27/16, my car engine cut off while entering the highway, I was super lucky my car was not hit by a truck, which could have ended with me being killed.
After driving on the highway for about an hour, the car decelarates and I am unable to keep up with traffic. This will continue until I am going about 55 MPH. Once I get off the highway and stop, the car will not go again until after a few minutes. This can be very dangers when trying to get into traffic after traveling onthe highway. This has happened 4 times now. This needs to be recalled by nissan asap.
I was driving on the highway at about 75 MPH for around 30-40 minutes when the car stopped accelerating and began decelerating. I had my foot all the way down on the gas peddle and it just kept losing speed. Lucikly I was able to coast into the right lane, because I wanted to get into the breakdown lane when the car finally began to accelerate again. The car began acting normal after that until I got off the exit ramp about 10 mins later. I stopped at the end of the ramp and when it was my turn to go the car had again no power. My foot was pushing the gas peddle to the floor and the car just began to roll, I quickly had to turn on my hazard lights and roll to the side of the road. My husband and I waited for a few moments and then the car drove normal. This has happened a few times to me now, always after driving on the highway for about 30-45 mins. I have been looking online and have seen many complaints about this same issue, but nissan refuses to file any kind of recall. I have owned a few nissans but after this, and reading all the complaints about the same problem this is my last one. I could have killed myself or someone else if this had caused an accident. It seems to me that everyone driving a rogue is driving a ticking bomb since you have no idea when this is going to happen. This needs to be addressed and investigated as to why nissan is not fixing an issue that they know exists. Do they care that little about the safety of their customers.
While driving on the highway, my 2010 nissan rogue will lose power. I have to press the gas pedal all the way to the floor and the car decelerates; there is absolutely nothing I can do. The last incident occurred 8/11/2016. I was driving at about 75mph; on a highway which is flat and the car completely lost power; speed went down to about 60 MPH. Finally regained speed on flat stretch of road but every time we hit a slight incline we would lose power. I was using the cruise control and when this happened it would just decelerate completely. It did it sporadically. After I stopped and then restarted the car and proceeded again, it seemed better for a short time; then it would start up again. It's very scary and everyone was passing us.....including other nissan rogues and some tiny cars?? This is clearly an issue that needs a recall!! Please help!
The first time the incident happened I was exiting the expressway and after stopping at a red light the car started to make a weird noise. When trying to accelerate through the green light the car would not move for 15 seconds. I even tried slamming the gas pedal down. After that I would always hear a whining noise when driving on the expressway or a prolonged amount of time. When driving out of state to tennessee the car started to decrease in speed on a hill and I was almost hit by a cop. Pulling over at a gas I let the car sit for 30 mins. I tried to renter the expressway and the car still would not move. After a while I was able to get back on the expressway. Once in tennessee the car barely made it up the hills I had to time it just right. On the way back to ga the car began the issues again and while trying to pull off the car decreased in speed so quickly I was almost hit by a semi-truck. I have taken the car in for the electrical recall that did not help. The car has had two complete tune ups nor has not worked. I refuse to pay out of my pocket for another transmission; which has not aided others in this same situation. I have been dealing with this for a year. Everyday it's a guessing game if the car will ever get me to and from work safely.
I have a 2010 nissan rogue that has 60,000 miles and the last couple of years it has began to lose speed when on the highway going 65mph. When I would push on the gas pedal it would not accelerate past 40mph. This would happen when driving longer than 1 hour and when going uphill. None of the service lights would light up, but it was very scary driving on a highway going 65mph one minute and then 40mph the next minute, especially this highway has a minimum speed limit of 55mph! This has been my only real safety issue with this vehicle other than the tires constantly deflating and the awd does not do as well I expected in the snow.
I have nissan rouge 2010. I bought it brand new. Everything was ok until last 7, 8 months when start with problems. Every time when I drive car more than 45 + miles on highway my speed and power goes rapidly down from 70 MPH to 40mph and below with noise from engine. If you try to accelerate does not work. You press pedal to the floor nothing is happening. The worst part is all this come without any warnings. I did some online research and I was shocked that a lot of people have same problem. Most likely is transmission. Yesterday me, my wife and five years old daughter were driving from houston, tx to san antonio tx which is 180 miles, I was driving 70-75 MPH on I-10 when same thing happened again I lost my speed to under 40 MPH and 18 wheeler behind us almost hit us. We were very lucky that day. I think problems with those small suvs somebody needs to take seriously and those vehicles should be recall before tragedies starts. 06/26/2016
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
While driving on the highway, car will lose power. We press the gas pedal all the way to the floor and car decelerates; there is absolutely no power. The last incident occurred 5/13/2016. We were driving at about 80mph; we were on a flat stretch of road and the car completely lost power; speed went down to about 40 MPH. Finally regained speed on flat stretch of road but every time we hit a slight incline we would lose power. Part of the time we were on a two lane hi-way and cars were backing up behind us. Then, after going along with no problems for a period of time we pulled of at an exit. After stopping at a stop sign when we tried to move gas pedal went to the ground and car did not move-then it lurched suddenly and accelerated. Later in the drive-on a flat ground going 80 MPH car lurched and decelerated --as I said, this has happened before; this last incident was most frustrating as we were on a long road trip and feeling very unsafe
We have a 2010 nissan rouge that will be driving fine then all of a sudden it starts decelerating to less than 70 MPH on a busy interstate. Even trying to push the gas pedal all the way down does not do anything. We purchased this nissan for our child to drive to college because we thought it would be safe. We have major concerns about this happening every time it is driven on the interstate. Does not have this problem when driven just locally. It only has 65k miles on it. Thought nissan's were supposed to last forever and be safe. Don't feel safe sending my child to college in it anymore because this is happening so frequently.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 nissan rogue. The contact stated that while driving on an incline at 40 MPH, the vehicle decelerated to 30 MPH. The failure was experienced several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission assembly needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 55,000.
The car developed a problem where the transmission was slipping and I noticed fluid leaking. Took to dealer, and I had additional coverage for repairs and break down. They told me the enclosed transmission developed a leak due to corrosion. That corrosion damage is not covered, and it cost $400.00 to remove the part rather than replace it. The car has a grinding vibrating sound when driving. The CVT is known to have this issue, and the transmission is sealed so you can't check your fluid level and it is required to only use nissan manufactured transmission fluid. The CVT is tied into a fail safe mode that can be activated by high temperature in the engine. A cooling kit has been recommended but I have read mixed posts as to the dealerships charging to put it into the car. The car has been known to totally lose power while driving if it goes into this fail safe mode or when the CVT just fails completely. Warranty was extended to 10yrs/120000 miles for CVT.
Almost since I bought the car, I felt while driving that the motor was shaking and I took it to a mechanic that told me must be the axle, then I took it to the universal nissan in orlando, and they told me that it was nothing, and that was normal in the CVT,motors. It kept doing it and I took it again to see if there was a recall, nothing was found, now after the warranty expired I took it for a oil change and they found that the right axle have to be replace entirely, since the oil transmission is leaking from it, and that the part that hold the motor have to be replace too, since the bushing fell apart and it is dangerous, I know there are others with the same problem and nissan doesn't want to fix it unless a lot of money is paid, they were just giving excuses so the warranty expired, so now they want to charge a lot. This should be included in recalls.
After a 30 minutes to 1 hour drive on a highway, the vehicle drops in speed when driving uphill. Vehicle speed decreases and stays no more than 35 MPH; resulting in an unsafe, hazardous condition. Nissan diagnosis found to be a transmission problem and needs to replace it, p0725 and u1000, however CVT warranty extension has expired.
In highway driving conditions the transmission will over heat. The transmission then goes into safe mode and disengages from the engine. The car then loses power. You are then stuck on a highway with traffic around you doing 70 MPH and your car has no acceleration, no power and you are just stuck. This has happened on more than one occasion. Nissan claims nothing is wrong.
Vehicle would not accelerate while driving the transmition was shifted into neutral than into drive without response, I turned off the car and it would not restart, I let the car rest it started after about 20 min, all of this occured after a long trip 1.5 hours then a short break 0.5 -1 hour. This problem could not be replicated by the dealership mechanics. Please see attached url for same type of complaints. Http://www.carcomplaints.com/nissan/rogue/2010/drivetrain/power_train.shtml
Transmission makes grinding noise upon accelerating to normal speeds from complete stop, at times car loses aceleration after driven on highway/freeway and come to a stop, constant shaking and grinding/squeaking noise from transmission upon acceleration.
We purchased the car as a new car demo. It had about 5000 miles on it. The car ran pretty good for 60/70 thousand miles and then we started noticing that when we went on longer drives(highway), the car would go into a "powerless" state when you stopped or slowed down. We later became familiar with the term "limp" mode or "safe" mode. The transmission goes into these modes when it is overheating. I took it to the dealership when it first happened and they said there was nothing they could do because no computer codes had surfaced for the trouble. This visit was around 80k, well under our 125000 mile warranty. The most recent time was 2014 we went out of town again and the check engine light came on. Being about 400 miles from home, we stopped at a local auto parts store and had them check the code. They told me the clutch/torque converter was making a code pop up. We preceded to drive home and took it to the dealership the next day. At this point we had 119000 miles on it still under the warranty. Thecheck engine light went off before we could get there. The dealership once again said nothing was showing on the computer even though I told them exactly what code I had learned of before returning to the shop. They again claimed to not be able to work on the car without the code. I guess they aren't real mechanics! Anyways, we now have 140000 miles on the car and the code is present again and all nissan can say is it is out of warranty. They offered to give us "employee" pricing on a new car but completely refuse to help with the repair. Doesn't make us feel good about owning another nissan.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 nissan rogue. While driving at highway speeds, the vehicle suddenly failed to accelerate past 65 MPH and the rpms would not increase past 3,000. The failure was intermittent and occurred after driving for more than one hour. The contact also indicated that the failure was more severe while driving up an incline. In addition, the service engine light recently illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose the cause of the failures. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 75,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 nissan rogue. While driving at approximately 65 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to accelerate. The failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the CVT (continuous variable transmission) needed to be repaired. As a result, the vehicle transmission was flushed however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.
2nd complaint of repeated issue, subsequent occurrence. 2010 nissan rogue lost power and decelerated from 70 MPH to approximately 40 MPH while traveling on highway, hazards applied however vehicles approaching had to change lanes. On this occurrence a vehicle check engine light appeared. Pulled off road and when accelerator was depressed engine revved to approximately 2500 RPM with no forward motion then lurched forward rapidly accelerating then lost power again before returning to normal operation. Note that nissan dealership acknowledges that this is a known issue, instructed that the CVT transmission warranty has been extended to 120k miles and to bring to dealership. Nissan states this is the result of transmission overheating and causing the vehicle to enter safety (also known as limp) mode.
Was driving highway speed for an hour when the vehicle stopped responding to acceleration. Got off the highway and allowed the car to rest. Upon another hour at highway speeds the car again did not respond to acceleration.
Pulling away from multiple stop signs, the rogue would not accelerate even with pedal pressed to floor. People were honking behind me and passing. Had this same issue with going through traffic circles to slow down and yield and then try to accelerate again. Rogue took several minutes to go up to 40mph. I finally had to pull over into parking lot. I turned car off and waited about 5 minutes to then try again. When I turned the rogue on this time, it seemed to function normal. I was able to continue at normal speeds and acceleration the remainder of my trip. My husband and our mechanic were not able to replicate the problem. I have read that many people seem to have this same issue. Very dangerous since you expect car to move as you pull into traffic and it does not. There were no lights on dash at time of incident. I have noticed the vdc & slip light has come on several times over the past 2 weeks for no apparent reason. Including today about 3 hours before this acceleration problem. I had been driving to several places throughout afternoon with car shut off between. I would estimate I drove a total of 60 miles over a 5 hour period. Car started acting up during the last 30 minutes before my final destination. When this took place, it took me about 1 hour to go 17 miles. Normally it takes me just under 30 minutes.
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!
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 nissan rogue. While driving 60 MPH, the transmission failed without warning. The contact stated that the transmission failure caused the vehicle not to accelerate. The failure occurred twice. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing, but the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 79,000.
After driving about an hour, the CVT no longer works and the car will not accelerate, even if you put the pedal to the floor. It will not go above 2,000 rpms and if you go up a hill you will lose accelerations. This happens frequently after an hour or more of driving. The only way to temporarily fix the issue is to turn the car off for a while. It has almost caused major accidents on the highway.
Vehicle was traveling 70 on the interstate on cruise control when the speed suddenly dropped 20 - 30 MPH and the engine started racing forcing us to pull the vehicle off the road. The vehicle idled properly then drove properly the remainder of the trip. This scenario has happened several more times, all but one while on cruise control. I took the vehicle to the service department at a nissan dealership. Mechanic diagnosed the problem as the issue in nissan service bulletin ntb14-002a:::---- 2008-2012 nissan rogue; reduced performance due to CVT fluid temperature protection logic the maximum vehicle speed is, or was, reduced by the CVT fail-safe logic after continuous operation under the following conditions: 1)high RPM and/or high speed driving (RPM of 4000+ or speeds of 65 MPH [104.6 km/h] for 1.0 ? 1.5 hrs. Or more) 2)driving in ambient temperature of 96 degrees or higher 3)climbing steep or extended hills for 6 miles (9.6 km) or more 4)whine or rattle type noise occurring during reduced engine performance (vehicle speed decrease) ---- nissan has a known and intentional issue in the transmission system while operating under some very normal conditions. Nissanusa consumer affairs initially told me that the warranty had been extended for this vehicle and the problem would be covered. They have since indicated that the repair for this issue (adding an external cooling mechanism to the transmission) is not covered by the extended the warranty... Looking for some sanity here. Nissan needs to fix the transmission (design?) problem under their extended warranty....updated 09/11/15
