I was going home from work like everyday I drive 40 miles one way at highway speeds and when I left the highway I came to a traffic light so I was waiting there and when the light turned green I pushed on the gas pedal like I normally do and the car would not respond and then started going but very slow I was afraid I was gonna be stuck at that intersection,and then I let go of the gas and pushed the gas again and the car startedgoing like if it was awakening and then it was going normal again,since then that happened 2 more times but the other times were more scary because I was at stop signs and when I tried to go after a complete stop the car was going very slow again and I was lucky that I didn't get hit by oncoming traffic,I contacted the dealer but they wont do anything unless they see the code or their mechanics reproduce the problem
2010 Nissan Rogue transmission complaints
Page 5 of 5: complaints 101 to 124 of 124, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The car suddenly lost power while driving on highway route 46 in little falls, nj during rush hour traffic. Luckily the it happened while in the right lane so my wife was able to get off the road quickly but had no forward power. The car was towed to acme nissan in south brunswick, nj where it was diagnosed with a failed transfer case and transmission. My wife's commute is rather far at 80+ miles round trip a day but it is almost all on highways. For a car to have a complete failure of the transmission at speed on a crowded highway wat this age/mileage out of the blue is completely unsafe.
Driving on highway and heard a grinding noise on the car. I also noticed car would not drive at optimal speed when gas pedal pressed to keep up with traffic. It felt sluggish and as it was losing power. I turned off the air conditioning system and the car started condensating through the events. None of my previous car have done that before. After about an hour drive the cars hood was extremely hot you could barely touch it. I felt scared for my family as this car does not feel safe at all. Dealer is not taking it back and I've now had this troubled car 20 days but they won't admit it's defective. They said they can change the transmission but only because its under warranty. Nissan needs to recall all CVT cars.
I took it out of town on a business trip 200 miles from home..only to have it start acting up about 2hours from my destination. Going up hills, my car lost power, would no longer go above 60mph(not too safe loosing power like that when the speed limit is 75mph). You could push the accelerator all the way to the floor, and the car would not accelerate anymore..and the RPM's would not exceed 2. This happened 2 times in the next 2 hours...would last about 12-20 minutes, and then, power would come back, this same thing happened 5 more times in my next to trips, I took the car to the dealer and they blamed nissan for the type of transmission use in this type of cars. This is not safe. In all the times I lost power going up-hill, and in those occasions there was someone behind me. Every time had to quick swerve around me, to avoid rear-ending me at 75mph, as I lost power down to -60mph.
I had been driving my rogue and my kids and I were going home. I was in a left turn lane in a busy intersection and halfway through I lost power. I barely made it out of the intersection, and after a minute the car went back to normal. It has happened twice now and the second time was worse than the first. Nissan sys there's nothing wrong.. We did have the transmission flushed at their recommendation.
Very little acceleration from pulling off from a stop, will not pull off from an incline in drive, overdrive or low gear.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 nissan rogue. The contact stated while that driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle began to decelerate and the engine rpms would not exceed 3000. The accelerator pedal was abnormally depressed to the floorboard; however there was an extremely slow response. The failure occurred whenever the vehicle was in operation for over two hours. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 61,000.
Driving from denver to summit county up 1-70 the vehicle lost power and would not go above 3000 RPM during climbing causing rapid slowing on a very busy highway. It has now happened several times and every time since I've driven up there since may. Twice I've had it in to the dealership who claimed it was due to high transmission fluid (which had not been changed since purchase). It has been lowered twice. The last time this occurred it was so bad that I pulled off at an exit for fear of safety. I turned off the vehicle and let it rest for a few minutes. Started it back up and attempted to do a u-turn. With the gas pedal all the way to the floor the vehicle only inched along leaving me stranded across the road and vulnerable to a crash if another vehicle had come along.
When turning right, there was no acceleration as I pushed down on the gas pedal. This has happened on a regular basis and occasionally has happened heading straight in traffic. There is often a lag in acceleration when pushing down on the pedal. Tough in merge situations.
2010 rogue has repeated problems with acceleration. Specifically from a stopped position. And when on a hill, if you are stopped, it won't accelerate at all, even when pushing driving pedal all the way down to the floor. On top of this, it now will not hold a cruise with cruise control on the interstate. Extremely dangerous when attempting to turn left from a stopped position without a green arrow. This is apparently, according to complaints, a very common problem, and there needs to be a recall. Have called dealership three times to schedule service and tell them about this major problem only to be told I would get a call back with no call-back. Am showing up tomorrow with my car insisting on an answer.
My car's transmission failed while driving home. I have a long commute to and from work. Luckily I was able to get home at 20 miles an hour and was not hit by a tractor trailer. My commute is a long drive on congested highways. I could have been killed. I have been having issues with the vehicle for a while. I recently had some work done to the car and bought nissan parts, I bought 4 spark plugs and all 4 were broken/defective. I have had this car for 2 years and have major issues with it in that short span of time.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 nissan rogue. The contact stated that when the vehicle was being driven in stop-and-go traffic, there was a delay in accelerating from a complete stop. The contact stated that the failure would only occur with repetitive braking and accelerating in heavy traffic. The vehicle was taken to the dealer twice but the problem was not corrected. The failure mileage was unknown, but the current mileage was 21,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 nissan rogue. The contact stated that the vehicle was hesitant to acceleration attempts.

The current mileage was 18,896 and the failure mileage was 18,846.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 nissan rogue. The contact stated that the vehicle would not accelerate forward when driving on an incline. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure nor was the vehicle repaired. The current mileage was 10,043. The approximate failure mileage was unknown.
After driving the vehicle on the interstate for 45 miles, I got off on my exit it just lost power. It would not accelerate and when it did, it was slow. Would not go 40mph. It didn't matter how much I pressed the accelerator pedal, it would not go. I was holding up traffic and it was scary. Nissan of saint augustine florida said they could find no fault or codes. Today (almost 2 months later) it did the same thing. This time it was raining and almost got into an accident. I think something is wrong with the vehicle, maybe a lemon. It did this several times before, but this time I'm going to ride with the mechanic or I'm have to create a video of the incident, just incase they don't believe me.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 nissan rogue. The contact stated that the vehicle lost power abnormally while decelerating to a toll booth and the vehicle became resistant to acceleration attempts.

Rogue 2010 after 3000 miles transmission making noise at low speed. Complained to nissan service department. They told me no problem find. Brand new car with frustration. Nissan service department not friendly at all. They do not care about you. I never recommend any one to by nissan.
After an extended time of driving on the highway my 2010 nissan rogue will not accelerate after coming to a complete stop when I hit the accelerator for about a minute, then it jerks forward and works again. I brought it into bill kay nissan to have it looked at and I was told it was "normal" and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I have been stuck at a left turn lane after the light has turned red without being able to move. The dealership was not helpful at all, telling me that their computer wasn't able to find any error codes.
Tl*the contact owns a 2010 nissan rogue. While traveling 15-30 MPH and turning in any direction the contact heard a vibration inside and outside of the vehicle.

Nissan rouge 2010 - it has only been 5 months since I bought a brand new rogue 2010 from victory nissan chesapeake. I received a recall card from them regarding a throttle noise. I took my car for change oil and the nissan service did a reprogram to eliminate the noise. The noise had lessened. Thinking that it is a brand new car, I did an observation and waited for my second change oil and complained about the noise in my car again and the brake that felt like it's losing a thread when you step on it. After my change oil, I was told that my transmission needs to be replaced. However, the dealer has to order it and will call me back in 2-3 days. A week had passed and I did not receive a call. I called nissan USA to complain about the service and I have been driving this car knowing that there is a problem and have complained about the break and the transmission. I called back again and the service agent just told me that the transmission is not yet in. I was driving in the rain when the accelerator just kept going even if I was not pressing on it. I was concerned and took the car back to the dealer and was given a rental car. I bought a fully loaded car but was given a lemon car. I could've been dead by now if I am still driving that car for who knows what will happen next if the accelerator and brake will not be controlled. I kept calling nissan but I did not receive any response. One of the sales in the dealer told me that this was the 3rd rogue 2010 transmission problem that was reported in the same place. A very unsat costumer service and dealer services by letting an unsafe car to be on the road!
When slowing to a stop after a long (2 hours) period of driving at highway speeds, the car could not then accelerate after a stop. The rpms would rev to between 2-3,000 but the car would not accelerate for a few seconds. In intersections, this was dangerous because it could cause an accident. The car only has 500 miles on it. An initial trip to the dealership said that there were no codes and no problem. On the return trip, after an extended highway drive, the same problem occurred. The car is unsafe to drive in its current condition and is going back to the dealership tomorrow.
