2013 Nissan Rogue Engine Problems

My car is a 2013 Rogue S with 118,000 miles. Two weeks ago I was on the I-95 at around 70 miles an hour and the car suddenly goes to 45 miles, despite my insistence to maintain my speed, I had to give up and pull over to the right ... I was able to go home at low speed and this experience traumatized me. After that I consulted a mechanic who told me without joking that these cars have the worst transmission and I should contact Nissan. I contacted Nissan customer service to explain the problem, they told me no and gave me a case number (52135330). After checking, it turns out that following repeated complaints Nissan would have increased the warranty up to 120,000 miles, but not for me!

Since about 100,000 miles the engine valve cover/gasket is leaking engine oil which has leaked below and caused deterioration on other parts below like the tie rod boots etc. Vehicle is currently in the shop and I can send any documentation once I get it back.

-vehicle will stop accelerating in traffic -accelerate suddenly even when your foot is not on the pedal

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 50 MPH on the highway, other vehicles were honking attempting to get her attention. Then a strong abnormal odor was coming the vehicle and it was discovered that there was a fire coming from the driver’s side footwell. The contact merged to the shoulder of the highway and safety exited the vehicle. No injuries were reported. The fire department arrived on the scene and extinguished the fire. The police were on the scene and a report was filed. The origin of the fire was unknown. The contact stated that she sustained emotional distress due to the failure. The vehicle was towed to a salvage yard. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was contacted and made aware of the failure and no assistance was provided. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 260,000. The VIN was not provided.

only a month after I bought the car I was going normal highway speeds(around 70mph) and it felt as if my car slipped into neutral, I had 0 acceleration and continued to slow down on the highway, I shifted into low gear and back to drive and it picked up again. This has happened four more times where the cars automatic transmission has slipped.

After driving on the freeway in hot weather the car car decelerates and will not accelerate. Car goes from 65 MPH to around 40 MPH. This is a very dangerous situation in traffic. This has happened several times every year since we bought car. I have 'googled' this and it seems to be quite common with this Nissan model. Also other Nissan models. I am afraid to take this car on any road trip. Nissan will not address this issue. Something needs to be resolved before someone gets killed in this car!

I BELIEVE THE TRANSMISSION IS NO GOOD

THE AC COMPRESSOR HAS STOPPED FUNCTIONING. AC FAN WILL RUN BUT NO AC AIR ON IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. *TR

MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO GO INTO LIMP MODE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. A MECHANIC STATES THAT IT THE CVT, TRANSMISSION ISSUE. I JUST WENT OVER MY WARRANTY AND NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET 3,000-5,000 DOLLARS TO HAVE FIXED. I HAVE SPOKE WITH MANY OTHERS THAT HAVE THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL, 2013-2018 WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I WAS IN THE FAST LANE AND MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT TAKE THE GAS AND ENDED UP ON THE SIDE OF THE RODE THREE TIMES DURING MY TRIP. ONCE I TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF, IT WOULD DRIVE NORMAL UNTIL I DROVE FOR ANOTHER HOUR OR MORE.

SIMILAR TO OTHER NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS OUR 2013 ROGUE HAS LOST POWER WHILE DRIVE ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION AND OFTEN STRUGGLES TO KEEP SPEED. ONE INSTANCEWE WERE AT A RED LIGHT ON A STEEP INCLINE WHEN THE CAR LOST POWER. THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL BACK TOWARD THE CAR BEHIND AND WE NEARLY AVOIDED A COLLISION. WE NOTICED THIS ISSUE THE DAY WE PURCHASED IT. WE HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO OUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP RIGHT AWAY AND SEVERAL TIMES AFTER TO REPORT THE ISSUE BUT THEY KEPT SAYING NOTHING WAS WRONG. WE HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THE RECOMMENDEDMAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS FROM NISSAN BUT NOW AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS ENDEDTHEY INFORMED US WE NEED TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION.NISSAN HAS BEEN ACTING VERY UNETHICALLY AND ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITYFOR THIS ISSUE THAT COULD BE FATAL TO OTHER DRIVERS.

CVT TRANSMISSION DIED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. THREE DIFFERENT TIMES THIS HAPPENED TO ME IN THE HIGHWAY GOING AT 75 MPH AND LOST COMPLETE ACCELERATION WITH THE GAS PEDAL DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY. MY RPMS WENT UP TO 8000 THIS LAST TIME. ROSEN NISSAN IN MADISON DID THE DIAGNOSTIC ON IT ON THE THURSDAY PRIOR TO MY DEPARTURE ON MY TRIP , AND SAID THAT ALL THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID REPLACED. APPARENTLY THERE WASN'T ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. PRIOR TO MY HAVING THIS ALL DONE I HAD RESEARCHED WHY MY CAR WOULD STOP ACCELERATING COMPLETELY AND THE REASONS WERE DUE TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION WHICH HAD BEEN RECALLED IN A NUMBER OF ROGUES AND MURANO AND VERSA'S. MANY HAD TO HAVE THEIR TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED AND THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTIES ON SOME OF THE MODELS TO 120K/10 YR. MINE WASN'T! TELL ME WHY A CAR WITH 110K THAT'S 5 YRS OLD WOULD ALL OF A SUDDEN DIE IF THERE'S NOT SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ACTUAL RELIABILITY OF THE WAY THE TRANSMISSION WAS BUILT IN THE FIRST PLACE? GOING IN CIRCLES WITH NISSAN THEY'RE DENYING ANYTHING WRONG ON THEIR END AND WON'T REPLACE SOMETHING THAT CLEARLY A LOT OF ISSUES HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITH THIS TRANSMISSION!! SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE NISSAN ACCOUNTABLE!

THE CAR STARTED DE ACCELERATING AS I DROVE. GOING FROM 70 TO 45. IT WOULDN'T PICK UP SPEED AS I PULLED OFF AN EXIT TO GET TO A GAS STATION. I LIVE IN ATLANTA AND TOOK A TRIP TO SAVANNAH. IT DID THIS THE WHOLE WAY DOWN AND BACK. I'VE ONLY HAD CAR SINCE FEB 2016. IT HAS ROUGHLY 102000 MILES AND SOME CHANGE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEED REDUCED TO 20 MPH AS THE VEHICLE WAS BEING PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART, BUT SHUT OFF AGAIN EVEN WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AND WAS SLOWLY DRIVEN HOME. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE DEALER (ABELOFF NISSAN, 3259 PA-611, BARTONSVILLE, PA 18321, (877) 715-4935) STATED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE. AFTER THE VEHICLE LEFT THE DEALER, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC CONFIRMED THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE, BUT THE DEALER INSISTED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE AND SENT THE CONTACT A COMPUTER PRINTOUT TO BACK UP THEIR OPINION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,300. *TT CONSUMER STATED CAR MAKES NOISE ONCE IN AWHILE WHEN SHE STEPS ON THE GAS PEDAL. UPDATED 11/21/18JB

FUEL TANK NEEDLE STAYS EITHER FULL OR EMPTY NO MATTER HOW MUCH FUEL IN THE TANK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. DIAGNOSIS SHOWS FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR

IF CAR IS IN DRIVE BUT STATIONARY (LIKE IN A TRAFFIC LIGHT), THE ENGINE STARTS TO VIBRATE SUBSTANTIALLY FORCING THE DRIVER TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL. BY DOING THE ABOVE THE CAR CAN MOVE BACKWARD IMPACTING OTHER VEHICLES, CARS ETC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE RPMS INCREASED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE ROAD SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AFTER A HALF AN HOUR. THE FAILURE OCCURRED A FEW TIMES PREVIOUSLY AND THE VEHICLE HESITATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO JEFF WYLER NISSAN (8680 COLERAIN AVE, CINCINNATI, OH 45251, (513) 385-1400) AND DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CONTACT COULD NOT REMEMBER THE DETAILS. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO MATT CASTRUCCI NISSAN (3013 MALL PARK DR, DAYTON, OH 45459, (855) 299-1946) TO BE DIAGNOSED AND THEY HAD TO "DROP THE PAN". THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD PAY 60% OF THE REPAIR COST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

THE CVT BELT CAUSES THE CAR TO STALL OUT WHILE IN DRIVING CONDITIONS. WHILE DRIVING AND PULL UP TO A STOP WHILE THE CAR IS AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE THE CAR WILL STALL AND WON'T TAKE OFF. SOME INTERSECTIONS I HAVE APPROACHED HAVE ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS SO TO THIS PROBLEM. I FEAR FOR MY FAMILY AND THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS FOR OVER AN HOUR, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HOFFMAN NISSAN (46 ALBANY TURNPIKE, CANTON, CT 06019, (860) 651-3256) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION OIL WAS NOT COOLING. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND AN AIR COOLER NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER OPENED CASE NUMBER: 31451265 AND OFFERED TO COVER FIFTY PERCENT OF THE REPAIR COST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVING OVER MOUNTAIN PASS FROM DENVER TO SLIVERTHORN I LOSE POWER AND CAN NOT GET SPEED ABOVE 45MPS AND DROPPING. DRIVING DENVER TO CAPSER ENGINE OVER HEATS AND STALLS AT OVERPASS WITH NO POWER TO DRIVE FOR 10 MIN UNTIL ENGINE COOLED DOWN. DRIVING FROM JACKSON HOLE TO LANDERS CAR STALLED ON HWY AND HAD TO BE SHUT DOWN FOR 15 MIN TO COOL BEFORE COULD DRIVE. ENGINE IS TILL RUNNING AT THESE TIMES BUT NO POWER OR DRIVE AND SEEMS LIKE ENGINE IS OVERHEATING. IS SAFTY HAZORD ON ROAD BECAUSE IT WILL STALL OUT WITH NO NOTICE AND NO WAY TO EVEN GET POWER TO MOVE OFF OF ROAD IF COME TO COMPLETE STOP AFTER 2-3 HR DRIVE AND STOP AT LIGHT. SEEMS TO BE WORSE DURRING SUMMER MONTHS WHEN IT IS HOTTER OUTSIDE (LIKE LAST WEEK DRIVING OVER EISENHOUER PASS/TUNNEL) THAT IT DOES DRIVING THE SAME ROAD IN WINTER. THOUGHT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ALREADY AND NIASSAN WAS WORKING ON IT IN HOTTER AREAS LIKE TX FIRST THEN THEN GETTING TO OTHER REGIONS BUT IS ALSO EFFECTING DRIVING HERE IN CO. DATE IT HAS HAPPENED ARE SEVERAL 08/25/2014 (CASPER OVERPASS) 09/10/2015 (LANDERS WY ON HWY) 05/18/18 ON I-70 GOING UP EISENHOWER PASS/TUNNEL NO POWER MADE IT TO TOWN AND STOPPED TO EAT TO GIVE TIME TO COOL OFF BUT WITH THEY WAY THE CAR HAS PREFOMED IN PAST AND WAS LOSING POWER IF MPS WOULD HAVE GOTTEN TO 20MPS AND I WOULD HAVE STOPPED CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN STALLED AT LEAST 15 MIN ON THE ROAD. THE ONLY THING I HATE ABOUT THE ROGUE IS LOSS OF POWER AND OVERHEATING. PLEASE F/U WITH MANUFACTURE TO CHECK INTO ENGINE OVERHEATING. I KNOW MY SISTER ALSO OWNED ONE THAT HAD TO HAVE HEAT SENSOR PLACED ON ENGINE TO HELP WITH OVERHEATING ON ONE SIDE AND HERE MODEL WAS ALSO A ROGUE CLOSE TO SAME YEAR. NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES POWER AND GETS HIT ON HWY. 2014 HWY SPEED 70-75 45000. MAY 2018 65MPS BEFORE PASS AND DROPPING TO 40-45 ON PASS. LANDERS 65MPS 2014 55000, 2018 MTN 96000

DRIVING FROM YUMA TO SAN DIEGO DOING 70 TO 80 MILES PER HOUR UNTIL I HIT THE HILLS. I REDUCED MY SPEED TO 65 AND SET MY CRUISE CONTROL. NEVER HAD A/C ON IT WAS STILL COOL, BEFORE NOON. HALF-WAY THROUGH THE HILLS I LOST ACCELERATION AND CRUISE CONTROL SHUT-OFF. REST OF THE WAY THROUGH THE HILLS WAS IN THE SLOW LANE/EMERGENCY LANE GOING 25 TO 30 MILES PER HOUR. FINALLY MADE IT THROUGH THE HILLS BUT BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO EXIT I8 I WAS GOING 20 THEN 15 THEN 10 MILES PER HOUR. AFTER AN HOUR OF LETTING THE CAR SIT I STARTED AGAIN PUT IN IN REVERSE AND THAT'S AS FAR AS I GOT. I HAD NO POWER AT ALL IN "D" OR "L", HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED 51 MILES. OBVIOUSLY NISSAN HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ROGUE MODEL AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM.
