2011 Nissan Rogue: sudden loss of power

Filed Mar 15, 2023 · Acceleration, Electrical · TN

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!

While driving this vehicle on highway and secondary roads I noticed a loss of power and slippage of the transmission. I took to a local shop several times but wasn't able to diagnose. I finally took to a nissan dealer ( mcguire nissan of syracuse ) and they diagnosed as a bad transmission. They give me an estimate to install new transmission and oil cooler for transmission for $5,300.00 plus tax. I then did some research on the nissan and found out that nissan had alot of issues with their transmissions , so many that they extended the warranty from 5 year - 60,000 miles to 10 year - 120,000 miles on most of their vehicles. I contacted nissan directly and they said this doesn't pertain to my 2011 as it only covered the 2003 thru 2010. My vehicle only has 74,000 miles. During my research I read that a lot of these transmissions were only good for 80,000 miles and that is why they extended the warranty. Ultimately I was compelled to get this fixed from mcguire of syracuse and with tax cost me $5,791.54. I believe that my car should have been included in this recall as the issues are the same as the other years that had issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.

Car started making slight whirring noise when accelerating. Took it in to be looked at and they couldn't find an issue. Went another week and the noise got worse and starting skipping and losing power when I tried to accelerate after it's been sitting for a few hours, mostly just in first gear. Almost got in an accident pulling into traffic and lost complete power for a few seconds, was lucky enough to get into a turn lane before I got hit by oncoming traffic. Took it to another mechanic and determined it was transmission and needs to be replaced. They're telling me my car could turn into a giant paperweight at any moment.

2011 nissan rogue transmission- I was picking my dad up to go to hospital where my sister was having a heart cath, as I put it in reverse it started jumping, my dad says what is that it feels like your transmission. We go through mcdonald's drive thur and it starts jumping. When leaving work it starts jumping losing power so I took it the next day to east tn nissan they said it was my transmission. I find it hard to believe that only the 2011 rogue is the only one that doesn't have the extended warranty to 120,000 miles.

Transmission slips after about 200 miles on long trips. You have to stop and let it cool down before you can go on. Sometimes it may take 10-15 mins. Sometimes you have to wait over night before driving it.. When it happens the transmission will wind and you lose power with no warning. I caught myself in the middle of jacksonville fl on 95 when it happened I thought I was going to get in an accident.

On june 15, 2018, I was driving on the freeway and my nissan rogue 2011 with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) started to lose power for no apparent reason, and it decelerated from 70 to 40 miles per hour (MPH) in a 70 MPH zone. The engine was making a whining noise while revving at high RPM's. I tried to accelerate back up to the speed limit and it wouldn't accelerate more than 40 MPH and the engine continued to rev at high RPM's. I had to pull over to the freeway shoulder and put my hazard lights on while driving 40 MPH. I exited the off ramp and stopped at the stop sign. When I tried to accelerate, the car was very sluggish and I had to pull over to the side of the road again because it wasn't accelerating and was driving at about 2 MPH. The only way I could drive was to down shift to low and drive at low speed on surface streets. Cars were honking their horns behind me because my car would take 5 - 10 seconds to move forward from a stop sign. I had to stay in low gear because it wouldn't accelerate in regular drive gear. I stopped at an automotive repair shop and was informed that the local aamco transmission shop refused to work on nissan rogue transmissions. The automotive repair shop said that it would cost $4,500 for a new transmission. I shouldn't be having transmission problems on a 2011 vehicle. I heard that nissan extended the warranty for nissan rogue transmissions built before 2011. My nissan rogue was built in 2011 so the warranty extension doesn't apply to my vehicle.
