2013 Nissan Rogue: jerking or lurching

Filed Jul 22, 2022 · Transmission · GA

Initially had transmission(Control valve) repaired/replaced in 2018 due to it stopping suddenly while on the highway. Gradually I began noticing it start to shudder(in particular while in drive but stopped), slow to accelerate and felt like it wasn't "catching" when hitting the gas and then jerks forward. Check engine light came on last week(Code P1740) and was informed it was the transmission and valve circuit again.

The transmission is going out and the car is less than 10 years old and it just hit 119,817 miles. I looked at the information on the Nissan Rogue's and it states that the manufacturer had a extended warranty on some of their Rogue's transmissions but not all of them for transmission repair, only some of their Rogues, because they apparently build a crappy transmission. I've looked up this extended warranty and any recall notices here but there are none showing. How do we get Nissan to fix their mess? This is ridiculous! I was driving down the interstate with my 9 month old grandson, when my car lost power and started jerking; I had to pull over and wait until the traffic was cleared so I didn't cause an accident. The car wouldn't go any faster the 18 MPH , not a safe place of the older lady and her grandson to be.. stuck on side of the interstate. After giving the car time to sit for awhile, we were able to get going again, but every time the car went over a certain speed, usually over 60 MPH, it would start to jerk again.

Just last week, the RPMs on my 2013 Nissan Rogue started going crazy, ramping up and down, the car started jerking -- turns out it was a sign of the transmission slipping -- but it returned to "normal" after a few minutes. We continued driving and were on the highway on our way home when all of a sudden, the car went from doing 65 mph to about 15 mph, even though my husband had his foot all the way down on the gas. It was petrifying as we were on a high-speed highway with a speed limit of 65 mph (with many people doing 80 mph), and in addition to our safety, we were concerned about our unborn baby--as I am 3 months pregnant. Thankfully this happened when we weren't terribly far from home and we were able to make it, riding on the shoulder with our hazards on but it was terrifying and definitely dangerous. The car gave no signs of these issues before and it had just passed inspection 2 weeks prior. The car has 92,000 miles; I bought it brand new in 2013; and it has been regularly maintenanced and serviced throughout the years. The check engine light finally came on close to the end of this ordeal (well after the gas pedal stopped responding) and when we brought it to the repair shop they confirmed it was the CVT--which they said is a known defect with many Nissan Rogues. I was frustrated to find out that a class action lawsuit was settled for 2014-2018 Nissan Rogues for CVT and although this a known defect of the 2013 Nissan Rogue as well, the dealership and the company said there's nothing they can do. Now we're looking at a $4,000+ bill to replace the transmission -- and I'm just praying we never have this issue again because this is our primary car for us, our 2-year-old, and by the end of the year, newborn baby. I was never notified before that this could be an issue but a quick internet search really opened my eyes.

Starting 9/1/21 there was a delayed and jerking reaction when the gas pedal was pressed from a full stop. This was very dangerous when trying to cross intersections during city driving, as the car behind could not anticipate that our car wouldn’t go and our car was not able to cross intersections at normal speed, putting us in the way of other traffic trying to cross. During highway driving the RPMs began to run very high without an associated change in speed, causing the driver to be alarmed. An inspection by our local independent mechanic determined the transmission needs replacement. This diagnosis was then confirmed by our local Nissan dealer. The car is currently available for inspection at the Nissan dealer. There was a check engine or service now light that went on when the car would first turn on, but it would go off when the car was being driven.

I have a 2013 nissan rogue select with 87,000 miles. It shudders/jerks intermittently during idle at drive mode even when AC and fan are off. Upon driving to austin in february, my car began to lose power on a highway with 70 MPH limit. The RPM continued to g up , as did the gas gage. I was not able to accelerate. Luckily , I was near an exit and able to coast off to barely make it to the gas station, to allow the car to cool. The temperature gage, never ran hot. Then just last week making the same trip, the same issue, but this time the check engine light came on. This is a dangerous situation where I could be killed, or kill someone else because I am not able to move at the required speed. I thin took it to a nissan dealer and was told it was the transmission. I filed a complaint with nissan headquarters. Someone name jeremy called me a couple of days later only to say that the warranty had expired and there was nothing he could do. I even mentioned the class action suit that he said he knew nothing about. This is a defective factory issue and should have been recalled. I do not have the money, nor should I have to pay for something that was an issue that they knew about. I am including pictures of the repairs. I can provide the whole report, but I do not have a scanner at the moment. Also the firm brandsetter, straanch and jennings in tennessee has a class action suit. Please investigate this. Someone is going to be killed, lets not allow it to get to this point. Thanks.

When driving, the transmission overheats with no indicators. It starts to lose speed and rev very high while the vehicle continuously drops in speed. The diagnostic came back that it was a default in the transmission. The car also jerks, revs, and is very loud.

Driving my rogue at 45mph on 10/13/2017. Decelerated to make a right turn. Then attempted to accelerate after the turn. The rogue jerked and decelerated and turned off. I steered the car to the soft shoulder. Attempted to start rogue. Started but then stalled. It eventually started after sitting by road for 5 minutes. No problems with rogue until 10/20/2017. Was driving at 55 MPH with a semi behind me on 2 lane highway. The rogue starts to decelerate and jerking. I pull to the side of the road in enough time not to be hit by the semi. Rogue totally stopped working. I got it restarted and drove home at 40 MPH. Called and got a repair appointment on 10/24/17. It was a mass air flow sensor that was broken.
