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.

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.

While driving on the highway the car the vehicle shudders/vibrates and the stops accelerating even when the throttle is pressed to the floor. Example: If I am driving at 80 miles an hour with my foot on the throttle, the vehicle will begin to decline in speed (dropping to 70 or 60 miles an hour) and will not accelerate any faster once additional pressure is placed on the throttle. After thorough review, it was found that this is a common issue with the 2013 Nissan Rogues. According to Vehiclehistory.com, Nissan extended the 2013 Nissan Rogue transmission warranty to 10 years and 120,000 miles for the continuously variable transmission (CVT) in the 2013 Rogue. This site, also has multiple complaints regarding the Power Train on the 2013 Rogues listing the same issues. Upon contacting the Regal Nissan Dealership located at 1090 Holcomb Bridge Road, Roswell, GA 30076, I was informed that there is nothing they could do as a formal recall had not been issued for my specific VIN number. I am currently submitting a claim to the BBB National Programs as well.

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.

At only 80,000 miles, the vehicle dangerously lost power while driving and inevitably would not allow the car to accelerate. Upon being parked, the vehicle would start, but would immediately shudder and stall out when trying to move in drive or reverse. Nissan has had countless complaints about the defective CVT transmission failing prematurely, and has issued warranty extensions on all other vehicles and years aside from the 2013 nissan rogue.

Brought our vehicle to the dealer 6/21/16 to be serviced for failure to accelerate after coming to a stop at intersections. At first we were told it was the CVT and we'd need a new transmission. Then they replaced a valve and said it was fine. Two days later the car jerks and shudders while driving below 45 MPH and violently shudders and shakes while stationary; feels like something is pushing it. Malfunction indicator light went on after this. Brought it back to the dealer and was told there is a "misfire" and that it's completely separate from the previous problem. Waiting to hear the diagnosis. Seeing many similar complaints online with most relating to the CVT. It's very scary to be in the car with my kids when it was jerking and shuddering.
