I've been have shaking and delays with the CVT transmission. It has altogether failed now and I've only owned the vehicle since the end 2017. It didn't last two years. There is no way I will replace the transmission only to have the same problems again. Shame on nissan for not valuing their customers enough to fix the CVT problems. If you've settled in court, there should definitely be a recall on all CVT transmissions. I wish I knew about the CVT issues, I would have steered clear of nissan vehicles. I was driving down the street when it went out. Couldn't accelerate at a stop light.
2013 Nissan Rogue transmission complaints
Page 6 of 12: complaints 131 to 160 of 314, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Torque converter malfunction diagnostic code p0744 requiring replacement of transmission at 66,000. Noticed stalling at highway speeds.
My daughter was stopped at a red light and when she tried to accelerate the car wouldn't move. She was able to get to the side of the road and after a few mins & a trip to advance auto parts & then a mechanic she was told to bring it home. Then the check engine light came on. She pulled into another advanced auto parts and they reset it. She lost power while driving over 50 MPH on back roads and the interstate several more times. This car is not safe to drive. We were told she needs a new transmission and it only has 82k miles. She's a high school student and doesn't have $3,700 so the car just sits while she still makes payments.
Transmission squeals when driving
It appears there's a problem with the CVT transmissions and several complaints filed. I just purchased this vehicle not even a month ago but it's past the warranty
We were traveling down I 65 in kentucky at interstate speed when all of a sudden the car just lost power. The car would barely go 40mph. We were only a few miles from home so we limped the car home. I just purchased the car on the 18th 2 days before. The problem is the CVT transmission but the dealership refuses to admit that is what's wrong. Gillie hyde in glasgow ky. I'm a paralyzed army vet and live on a fixed income and I cannot afford to repair the car. Nissan knew the problems with the CVT transmissions but chose to continue manufacturing the 2013 rogue knowing the hazardous transmission and how it could cause accidents and deaths.
2013 nissan rogue has acceleration problems when driving on the interstate. It won't accelerate and sometimes stalls out. It only happens when driving long periods of time or when trying to accelerate up a hill.
Vehicle starts running hot after on interstate for approx. 30 min, temp will return to normal if heater is being ran on high. Diagnosis was thermostat needed to be replaced. Vehicle runs hot after thermostat was changed. While on interstate for approx. An hour vehicle still running warm. Temp returns to normal while heater is on high. While on cruise control rpms increased suddenly to 4500 with a speed of 70. Slowed down to 60 and rmps continued to climb to 4500 until I pulled over on the side of the road.torque converter clutch solenoid failing. Temp fix, sprayed connection cleaner on torque converter clutch solenoid, rpms are still slightly elevated from normal, but manageable for now.
2013 nissan rogue, 100,000 miles. I was driving the vehicle south down the interstate from charleston to orlando, ~70 MPH, driving normally in june 2019. Around the ga/fl border, when I would hit the gas pedal to accelerate, the spedometer wouldn't go higher. The engine would rev, and the rpms would increase to 3-4,000. Happened for about 10 minutes until I got to an off-ramp. After the car cooled down for 45 minutes, we got back on the road since it was a sunday night in the middle of nowhere ga, kingston to be exact. It drove well for the rest of the drive down to orlando with stops every hour. Same thing happened on the way up from orlando to charlotte, rpms went up, spedometer didn't move. Let the car cool and then it drove fine at lower speeds. Took it to a nissan dealership when I got back and they diagnosed the transmission as having a faulty torque converter, p0744 was the code that came back. 12 hours of labor, saying they needed to replace the transmission. Found the service bulletin: ntb16-090, and it seems like it's spot on, happened after prolonged driving in high temperatures. After reading the bulletin, it connects the dots for why my engine would sound weird when I was driving in the mountains, the engine would start to sound really trying after some time. Saw that a number of nissan vehicles have been recalled due to faulty CVT transmissions, and I don't know why nissan 2013 rogues have not been recalled yet.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan rogue. While making a left turn, the vehicle hesitated to accelerate. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was 70,000.
The transmission "stalled" stopped operating as I was at 55 MPH, at the end of a steep uphill onramp merging onto hwy 395 from hwy 70 in eastern california. No warning lights on dash showed. Almost got ran over by a large truck. I managed to coast to the side of the hwy. After resting there for 20 minutes or so, the transmission worked partially and I limped it into reno with the flashers on. The nissan mechanic in reno told me "they do that when they get too hot." this is dangerous.
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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan rogue. While driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle decelerated and the rpms decreased without warning.

Takata recall. This would be my second time changing this transmission. First time was when my car didn't wanna accelerate and got stuck on 40 MPH instead of 70 miles per hour. My nissan at the time had only 50,000 miles. My nissan right now has over 150,000 and the transmission slipping again. Did a transmission flush and nothing. I've also notice now when the weather is over 96 degrees the transmission acts up by stalling on 40 MPH while driving. Even my AC compression also takes a high effect as well. If it's not one, it's the other.
While taking extended drives, the RPM's begin to increase and the vehicle begins to loose power slowing down to the point where it completely loses power. This has happened at least six times on the road, five on busy interstate highways. All instances the speed of the vehicle was traveling in excess of 60mph. Nissan knows of the problem with its CVT transmissions and has issued a technical bulletin. Nissan's technical service bulletin ntb14-002d, which describes the issue as the CVT going into fail-safe after continuous operation under the following conditions: 1) high RPM and/or driving speeds of 65 MPH for 1.0 - 1.5 hours or more, 2) driving in ambient temperature of 96 degrees or higher, 3) climbing steep or extended hills for 6 miles or more, and 4) whine or rattle noise occurring during reduced engine performance (vehicle speed decrease). In the case of my vehicle, these conditions were present in most of the cases (four of the six times), in two instances ambient temperature was not a factor (november and february travel) and in one instance, climbing steep or extended hills was not a factor. Now the transmission seems to be slipping during short, local, trips. This began occurring at approx. 36,000 miles and the vehicle now has 90,000 miles (this report to nhitsa is for the most recent incident on 5/20/19). I don't take long trips frequently (10 is probably the maximum number of long trips I have made in this car). Nissan has identified a problem with 2008-2010 CVT transmissions and have extended the warranty on the rogue to 10 yrs./120,000 miles; the same should be done with this model as well. It is unsafe and unacceptable. I've talked to three nissan service departments and all three have wildly different answers (and prices). I don't which dealer to trust, and I don't know if it's better to repair it or trade it. Either way, I can't afford it.
As I was driving home from work, my car lost acceleration. The vehicle will not speed up, even when I press the gas to the floor. The engine just revs up. I was going up a hill in a busy section of town and was almost in an accident as the person behind me did not realize I was unable to accelerate. Luckily I was able to pull to the side of the road.
When driving down interstate going 65 - 70 MPH after 1 hr driving car suddenly stooped accelerating. I pulled off on an exit and reached a stop light. When I pushed on gas pedal the car would not accelerate right away. Happened at two sets of lights. Shut the car off for 20 minutes and started driving again and it seemed ok. Driving ok short distances while I was in maine. On my way home to massachusetts after 1 hr of driving on interstate going 60 - 70 MPH again I lost acceleration. Had to pull over and sit another 20 minutes. I was able to continue my drive after sitting and letting it cool down.
Loss acceleration and my car would not shift gears properly
A month after buying the vehicle brand new I brought it to the dealership because of excessive shaking and jittering and whining noises. They said it was normal that it's the new style transmission. Now 140k miles later. I'm onn a trip with cruise control set at 75 I noticed I was slowing down it slowed to 60 while driving down the interstate in the middle of fast moving traffic. Turned cruise control off and attempted to accelerate. Once I pressed the gas pedal it did nothing. Rpms didnt go up MPH didnt go up. It was like it just shut off. I got to the next exit pulled off on side turned the vehicle off and then back on. It was fine about an hour later it did the same thing so stopped at a gas station checked fluids everything normal. Got back on the interstate it was normal again. Made it to our destination and vehicle seemed fine the next 2 days but we never needed to drive over 55. On the trip home it started again about an hour in. So we stopped ate and got back on the interstate. This time we kept the speed under 65 the entire trip home and it was fine. Brought it to the dealership to get it checked out to find out that it's my transmission that needs to be replaced.
Driving 70-75 MPH on I-80 west less than a year after bought used. Began hearing high-pitched whine that stopped when I lifted my foot from the accelerator. Continued two miles to plaza with sound getting louder and had to coast into parking area because transmission would no longer engage. No revving, nothing. Towed home ($213). Fine for months, then happened again on turnpike. Pulled over, waited an hour to cool. Drove rest of distance going 50 MPH or less. Finally had to floor gas pedal to get any movement after stoplights. Now makes buzzing-screaming noise every time it starts, in neutral or otherwise. Nissan dealer says $4,000 for repair. I'm 67, on fixed income and still making payments!
I bought my nissan rogue in december 2013 brand new. When the incident happened, the car has roughly 60,000. Just last summer 2018, as I was driving to atlanta on I- 20 west my car started to decelerate while I was driving at 75 MPH after 40 minutes into my trip. I was so nervous, as I continued to push the gas but nothing happened as cars speed up behind me. I merged over to the right lane to avoid causing an accident. While in this lane semi trucks quickly started to approach behind me and that's when I knew something was terrible wrong. I merged off the nearest exit for my safety. I found somewhere to park and turned off my vehicle. I restarted it and preceded to my destination without any problem. This same thing happened later that year. I did get my car diagnosis and discovered that it is the transmission but that company didn't have the equipment to due that repair. Recently, I went to nissan dealership and got another diagnosis and they said it is the transmission which will cost $4000. I would imagine that my car would not have that type of problem within 4 years of ownership since this transmission was built by nissan. I have researched and seen that I am not the only one who had this problems with this year model.
Driving on highway, 65-70 MPH, ambient temp about 89 degrees, vehicle has no acceleration, slows to about 45 MPH, high pitched whining noise. Manage to get off of highway, after slowing traffic and pull to side of highway. Turned car off, sat by side of highway for an hour plus, started car, turned around and made it home -- about 30 miles -- in about an hour and a half, due to re-occurrence of issue. No lights came on. No warning, just loss of acceleration and inability to keep up with traffic.
My 2013 nissan rogue loses power while driving and will only accelerate to twenty miles per hour doing this time. Today 06/17/2019 is the fourth episode. The first three happen while in cruise control driving uphill. I had to turn the car off and after 15 minutes or so it was drivable. However today it happened while driving on a normal flat freeway surface while in the hov lane. Traffic was light or this could have been a major issue. My wife and granddaughter were in the care with me. From my research, many owners or having or had this problem with their 2013 nissan with the CVT transmission. Request someone checks and require nissan to fix the problem(s).
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan rogue. While driving at an unknown speed, the rpms increased from 500 to 600 and the vehicle decelerated independently. An independent mechanic inspected the vehicle and informed the contact to shift gears. When the contact did so, the vehicle was able to operate normally; however, the failure recurred six months later. The vehicle was taken to nelson nissan (800 w queens st, broken arrow, ok 74012, (918) 258-9901) to be diagnosed, but the cause of the failure was undetermined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
At 60 to 70 MPH RPM increases to 6,000 then car slow's down and stops . This is a life threatening situation. This has happened to many people . This car should be off the road now. Do your job!
After driving about an hour and a half in 90 degrees with air conditioner on, the rpms jolted upwards while my car began to decelerate. It felt like it popped out of gear and I was careening down the highway in neutral. I was able to get it to the side of the rode and let it set for a couple of hours. I then had to take back roads and drive under 50 MPH with out air conditioner, but made it home. I brought it in to maplewood klein nissan dealer and device. They did a diagnostic test and said there was an intermittent transmission problem. I needed a new transmission, at $4200, and the car only has 139000 miles. They told me to contact nissan consumer affairs and file a complaint. They service department said this appears to be a common problem and nissan company has been helping with repairs, anywhere between 30-70%. However, after several phone calls and emails, I was informed by the consumer affairs department they do not help customers with this issue if past the 60000 miles or 5 years. I asked how the other customers where able to get help, despite being past the warranty, and I was told nissan was in no position to help me. I said it was dangerous t drive and the CVT should not be going out this soon. I also stressed that research shows many customers are experiencing the same issue and something is wrong with the transmission they put in the cars. I was told no help would be given, thank you for calling.
