I have had this 2011 Rogue in a repair shop 6 times for the same issue and each time the technician replaced the air flow sensor because of “ code reading “ the rogue lost power without warning and stalls at red lights. My most recent repair the technician stated the cruise control spring needed replaced and could be the issues with sudden power loss . I have had the O2 sensor replaced, catalytic converters replaced, starter, alternator and MAS with the problem returning within 3 months . The Rogue is very dangerous and I am filing a complaint in hopes other people do not sink thousands of dollars into a bad vehicle!

Just bought my 2011 Nissan Rogue today and drove around off and on all day with no issues. I went to my son's house for approximately 5 minutes (left car running) and when I went to leave I had no acceleration. I tried pushing on the gas pedal with no luck. It literally coasted about a block before it finally stopped moving. I made a few phone calls and was told to shut the car off for about 5 minutes (which I did) and then turn it back on (which I did) and I put it in drive and it was all of a sudden fine. I feel as if there has been more than enough complaints regarding this issue with the 2011 Nissan Rogue and the federal safety agency should address this matter with Nissan who should be held accountable for this. I personally bought the vehicle based on all the good things I was told about it but now, not even 24 hours after buying it, I am regretting my decision. I should have stuck with my kia soul (she never let me down)!! I feel this is a HUGE safety issue

Im having issues accelerating since i purchased the car, the transmission is bad , there is cut electric wires by the brake and gas pedal. When breaking there's knocking, pinging, the brakes shakes. I almost got into 4 accidents with my family and child. I was told by dealer it was the reg gas i put in the tank but then got carfax history and seen a mechanic and was told transmission is bad the light is on dash. At 25mph the rpm jumps up and down. Gas tank reads incorrectly.

I am having the same issue that most people are complaining about. Vehicle will not accelerate after being driven for 45 minutes or longer. Happened to me four times while driving for 2 hours. Once on the highway and three other times on a city road with vehicles stuck behind me. One of those times I had no where to pull off and sat on the road. This should be a major concern for nissan and the federal safety agency. Sooner or later someone is going to get seriously injured or worse. Instead, we are pouring our money into a vehicle with no way to fix it. I have about 100,000 miles and kept a good job of maintenance on the vehicle. Please address this situation!

Another in the long list of people who are experiencing vehicle disabling features due to nissan's engineering failures. It's wild that there isn't more protection from huge corporate bullies like nissan. Garbage product with no trust behind the name. My hope is that people read these and start telling nissan with your wallets. Don't buy. Just like the others when car is in use for more than 45 minutes, heat causes the governor to disable speed to the point where my family has almost been rear ended on several occasions. This isn't a one time occurrence, it happens weekly. Nissan claims there is nothing wrong and/or no fix. Car is worth nothing and is barely worth driving. Way to stick it to the little guy nissan.

On 7/31/2020, traveling from ft. Lauderdale to sarasota, florida, on I-95, (alligator alley) around 1 hr in after turning on cruise control, (90+ outside temps), cruising at around 82 MPH ... Car suddenly decelerated to -60 MPH and, pedal to the metal, would not accelerate, continued to slow down. I pulled into a rest stop, turned it off for 20 minutes, then restarted it and used my fixd device and app. It brought up code p0744, "torque converter clutch circuit intermittent". It ran ok for the rest of the trip and the return trip but acceleration was sluggish. On 9/3/2020, same trip, same road, same 90+ temps outside, on I-95, (alligator alley), a little over 1 hour in, no cruise control this time, car did the same exact thing: decelerated from 82 to -60 MPH. I pulled into a rest stop, turned it off for a half hour, re-started it, ran the fixd app again, but this time it said "no errors", and threw no codes. Both times car was ok after being off awhile. No problems on return trip ...but in general, acceleration is sluggish. I stopped by the dealer and the service representative said they could put the computer on it for $139 but probably couldn't diagnose it unless it was happening or some codes were stored, which was doubtful I said no thanks. This is a very dangerous problem! There are over 200 complaints about this issue/problem for this year alone, but it appears that all rogues seem to have complaints about this exact issue of deceleration and the manufacturer acts as if it doesn't exist. Some have had to replace the transmission, some have added transmission coolers with no improvement. I've owned dozens of vehicles and have never encountered this problem before. In mid pandemic with only my ss check as income I don't know what to do. I need to drive up to ny and ma and need a safe, reliable car!

Lost excceleration would not go above 60 MPH, the rpms were going over 3 I had to pull over on the highway. There was no warning light or anything it just happened, it eventually started back up but soon lost power again, I was barely able to turn onto the street going to the auto shop where I purchased the vehicle. I owned this vehicle less than a year only 4 months when this happened. This was a very alarming situation I almost got ran over thankfully I was able to pull over. They checked it out and couldn't find anything then finally said it was the transmission then also mentioned that I had a problem with the axle which was leaking and costed me more money, which I don't think I should have had to pay since I only had it for 4 months. This vehicle is unsafe and I don't feel safe driving it anymore since I got it back. I have done research and see that this vehicle has been recalled I had no idea to even look for a recall on this vehicle. I have a friend who has a 2016 that has the same problem recently happen to her on the road.

Passenger airbag sensor blinks due to a malfunction. Cost to fix is $3k due to having to replace the passenger seat where the sensor is, which is half the value of the vehicle. This has been blinking for the past year and is extremely distracting and dangerous while driving. Not sure if this means that the passenger airbag will not deploy, which is *extremely* dangerous. Additionally, when traveling, the vehicle often loses acceleration, even with the gas pedal all the way down. It becomes extremely difficult and dangerous to stop or turn. The steering wheel loses power steering, and the brakes do not engage quickly at all.
