2013 Nissan Rogue: adaptive cruise control problems

Filed Jun 10, 2025 · Acceleration, Engine · MS

Vehicle has a habit of losing speed, even on cruise control, when going more than 70 mph for extended times and dropping below 60 when doing so on Interstate with no warning lights or system notifications. The most recent occurence was on Saturday, June 7th when driving on the interstate and cruise control engaged at 73 mph when it cut off, dropped to just below 60 without warning and would not accelerate back when pedal completely depressed and then AC system started blowing HOT air and compressor would not kick back on. First attempted to check freon and those levels are not the issue- air blows but blows hot without cooling at all. This did occur in sustained temps in the low to mid-90s.

While driving, the vehicle failed to maintain speed. The cruise control would cut out and the vehicle struggled to accelerate. While attempting to merge onto freeways the vehicle would attempt to accelerate and then it would not shift causing the vehicle to be much slower. This occurred while I was driving cross country to move. The CVT transmission is the culprit. I am being told my VIN is not covered despite there being a known issue with these transmissions during the model year. This issue occurred without warning and compromised my safety and the safety of other drivers as the transmission would fail to shift unexpectedly at critical moments during driving.

After about 1.5 hours of highway driving, the car suddenly started slowing down even with cruise control. When I exited, car shuddered and became sluggish at the STOP sign. I was afraid I would get hit behind on the highway. This is a transmission problem that has occurred multiple times in the last 16 months and is worsening. About 15 months ago, we changed the transmission fluid, which improved things but for only 8-9000 miles. Now it is worse than before.

While traveling on highway at 60 MPH my daughter turned off cruise control to pass another vehicle and accelerated to pass then returned to the right lane and turned cruise back on. When she did this the vehicle slowed down to about 40mph. She was near an exit so she took it and as she was climbing the hill on the exit the car had lost so much power she was going about 5mph. She made it up the exit and pulled the car over and shut it off. She waited a few minutes and started it again and the car would not move at all until she got it up to about 5000 RPM and then it was only inching forward a little. She let the car sit for about 4 hours and towed it home but by then the vehicle started up and rode up the trailer ramp and then back down the ramp when she got it home just like it was normal.

As I am driving at highway speed with my cruise control on, it will all of the sudden drop acceleration and shuts off the cruise control. I can push the gas all the way to the floor and it won't do anything. This has happened to me on several occasions. I pull off the road and turn the car off and then back on but it still will barley go or sometimes it will get to a max of about 60 MPH but the RPM will rev to 5000. Usually when I get to where I'm going (to work, very late) and my car sits all day then it seems fine on the way home.

When driving my car will be moving just fine and out of nowhere I will loose ability to accelerate. The car will go up to 3 RPM and stay, will not go faster with the pedal to the floor. This will happen wether the car is in cruise control or not. The car will also loose ability to go up hills and properly accelerate from a stop. This happened last summer and has been fine fine this winter. Friday it started again this time in heavy traffic. This almost caused a semi to crash into us as it went from 70 MPH to 50 very quickly without warning. This car is not safe for this reason. They only way I know to fix it is to stop, turn off the car and wait. This does not mean it will fix it. I have looked into it and it seems to be an issue with the transmission. This car does not have enough miles to warrant a new transmission.
