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!

Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact noticed that the vehicle was jerking prior to the failure. The driver depressed the brake pedal but was concerned about the vehicle moving. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified however, no further assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 82,000. The VIN was not available.
Drove home, while attempting to park, (car was in motion) vehicle stalled & steering locked, lights on dash flicked off, radio went off then came back on. This happened 4 times while I attempted to park. Finally parked vehicle successfully & turned car off. This happened several times in recent months but only for a few seconds also on another occasion was unable to turn steering wheel once vehicle was on. Tonight was the worst experience, alarming. I plan to take SUV in for check up tomorrow.
As I was driving the vehicle (2011 nissan rogue) cut off as I was slowing down. The vehicle began jerking as I was driving. All the lights on the dashboard came on and the vehicle shut off at a stop light. During another incident the vehicle stalled while going down a rode with a small hill. Then stalled on the highway off ramp. Luckily, we had a shoulder area to pull off. After sitting in the vehicle an waiting for 10 - 15 minutes the vehicles started and began driving fine. We later took the car to our local mechanic and her changed all the belts, axle rods, ball joints as wells as an oil change. The car rod fine for 3 months then bam! Once again the same issues occurred. Our mechanic suggested researching information about the transmission because he felt the car transmission should not be the problem but from all the problems we were telling him, him thinks it is the transmission. We have read several current and former nissan rogue owner complaints and realized the problem was bigger than minor wear and tear. I would appreciate if the federal safety agency will take this matter seriously and have nissan take responsibility for the faulty work it is doing with vehicles put the lives of millions at risk daily!!!!

Shortage issue drawing power from somewhere to cause corrosion on battery and cause car to stall or not start.
When driving on highway vehicle go from 70 to 40 RPM just jump, and the vehicle will not run , have to pull off the road and wait a while before it can move, cannot take a trip that take 30 min, also will not crank when the weather is 30 or under., when vehicle stalled dangerous because cars are behind it almost wrecked on several occasion/., this been going on since I brought the vehicle. Started from 2012 to this date 2019/
While my son and I were driving up in the hills my nissan rogue 2011 awd stalled and started to roll backwards cars were honking son put on flashers and had gas pedal to floor it had no power whats so ever. Finally got into a parking lot trying to get some power. Suddenly it started to work again. This was a very dangerous situation and nissan knows about it and should not put peoples lives at stake like this. Something needs to be done about it. Thank you very reading.
The CVT transmission on the vehicle failed at just under 115k miles. I followed the maintenance plan provided by the manufacturer and had the transmission inspected at a dealer as part of that maintenance schedule. The transmission failed in rush hour traffic on a busy city street, and there were no check engine or other warning lights in advance of the car suddenly struggling to accelerate and jerking to a stop when trying to brake. This happened in rush hour traffic with a child in the car, which was extremely dangerous. Even after I was able to coax the car off the road and into a parking lot, jerking and practically stalling along the way, there were no warning lights or other indicators that subsequently came on to indicate there was any potential trouble with the vehicle. The dealer service advisor could only say the transmission suffered an internal failure and could not explain why it happened, what caused it or how the transmission passed prior inspection fewer than 30k miles prior to sudden failure. It is fortunate we were not rear-ended when the acceleration failed and that I was able to get off of the road so that me and my child were not in further danger on the road. This transmission is hazardous to have in vehicles as it can bring one to a stop almost immediately with no warning at all, and the manufacturer can't even explain why or what happened. They also will only replace the failed CVT with another CVT, which I believe is unsafe so I won't be having it repaired. The nissan cvts should not be on the road. They are as dangerous to others in traffic with one of their vehicles when the transmission fails as they are to the owner/occupants of that nissan vehicle.
