Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 Nissan Rogue vehicles manufactured March 7, 2007, to November 26, 2013, and 2014 Nissan Rogue Select vehicles manufactured September 23, 2013, to July 2, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience an electrical short in the harness connector due to a mixture of snow/water and salt seeping through the carpet on the driver side floor near the harness connector.
An electrical short can cause a vehicle fire.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the kick panel wiring harness connector and will if necessary install a new harness connector and waterproof seal, free of charge. The recall began on February 26, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

WHEN THE CAR WARMS UP THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE PAST 40MPH OR CLIMB SMALL HILLS GREATER THAN 40 MPH. VEHICLE WILL ACT NORMALLY BUT WHEN YOU GET OFF THE FREEWAY, IT LOSES POWER AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. BIG SAFETY ISSUE WHEN TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AND YOU NEED SPEED TO PASS OR EVEN KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC. FOUND ONLINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND I BELIEVE THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR SAFETY CONCERNS
Power train, Aug 23, 2016
CVT TRANSMISSION OVER HEATS AND CAUSES ENGINE TO GO INTO LIMP MODE AT TIMES OF HEAVY TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE OR HILLS WHEN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 85F. HAS CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN TRAFFIC WHERE I HAVE HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING TO SLOW LANE. I BELIEVE IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD. CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE NEW. I'VE REPORTED THE PROBLEM MANY TIMES TO DEALERS. CONSUMER AFFAIRS WAS CONTACTED, WITH NO RESOLUTION.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND POWER, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DROP ITS SPEED TO BELOW 10 MPH. WE WERE UNABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OFF THE FREEWAY DUE TO LACK OF A SHOULDER, WHEN WE FINALLY WERE ABLE TO GET SAFELY OFF THE FREEWAY, THE CAR SMELLED OF BURNING TRANSMISSION FLUID. AFTER THE CAR SAT FOR 30 MINUTES, WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE A SPEED OF NO MORE THAN 25 MPH TO THE NEAREST TOWN. WE TOOK THE CAR TO OUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A KNOW CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IN AS WHERE THE TRANSMISSION OIL WAS OVERHEATED CAUSING THE CAR TO GO INTO SAFE MODE. NISSAN ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THE FIX IS TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER INSTALLED AT A COST OF $1200.00, IN WHICH WE HAVE TO PAY. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION SINCE BEFORE 2009. WE WERE ALMOST HIT ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS FROM THE REAR BY VEHICLES THAT WERE APPROACHING US AT 60 MPH.

TRAVELING VIA THE INTERSTATE FRO KY TO GA AT ABOUT 70 MPH. VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 35 MPH. DANGEROUS AS OTHER VEHICLES TRAVELING AT 70 MPH OR ABOVE CAME CLOSE TO REAR ENDING MY VEHICLE. OTHER VEHICLES DANGEROUSLY TAILGATED. OBVIOUS RECALL ISSUE AS THERE IS A HISTORY/PATTERN OF THIS BEHAVIOR IN LIKE VEHICLES AND YET NO RECALL ISSUED, VERY DISAPPOINTING!
Power train, Aug 4, 2016
TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 62,135 MILES. OVERHEATED. NO PRIOR PROBLEMS OR REPAIRS. DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDATION IS REPLACE TRANSMISSION AND ADD A TRANSMISSION COOLER. SOLD IN GEORGIA OPERATED IN GEORGIA AND NEEDS A TRANSMISSION COOLER TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE IN GEORGIA?! ESCALATED TO NISSAN REGIONAL BUT WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR. NISSAN HAS HAD AN ENDEMIC PROBLEM WITH PRIOR YEARS ACROSS MULTIPLE MODELS WITH THIS EXACT PROBLEM WITH CVT. THIS IS CLEARLY A CONTINUING DESIGN DEFECT. VEHICLE LOST POWER AND SPEED SUDDENLY ON THE INTERSTATE. ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT AS TRUCKS RAN UP ON THE CAR TILL IT COULD BE PULLED OVER SAFELY.

I OWN A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE.THAT I HAVE KEPT UP THE SERVICE ON AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR EVERYTHING, BUT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY FAILED TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT.THE MILEAGE WAS BETWEEN 80,000.TO 85,000. AT THAT POINT THE ROGUE BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE AND CAN'T ACCELERATE PAST 40 MPH. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AND IT HAS LEFT MY FAMILY AND I STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE 3 TIMES, NOW I CAN'T TRUST THIS VEHICLE AT ALL AND FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. AND NISSAN FOR SOME REASON CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WHEN THEY HOOK IT UP TO THE COMPUTER BECAUSE THERE IS NO CODE ERROR. (BUT THEY DO HAVE THE [XXX] TO TELL ME I NEED TO BUY A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR A CAUSE OF OVER $5000 BEFORE TAXES)THIS ROGUE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD, THIS ALL HAS BEEN VERY FRIGHTENING TO ME AND MY FAMILY, AS I AM ON THE FREEWAY EVERY DAY AND SOMEONE COULD VERY EASILY CRASH INTO ME WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILS OR EVEN WHEN I AM TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM AN ON RAMP OR OUT OF A PARKING SPOT IN THE CITY OR A TOOL BOOTH AND THERE IS ZERO POWER, I CAN'T EXPRESS HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS. NISSAN PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, WE ARE HARD WORKING PEOPLE AND NONE OF US WILL EVER CONSIDER ANOTHER NISSAN IF THIS CAN'T BE FIXED.

I AM HAVING THE SAME CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES AS A LOT OF PEOPLE. IT OVERHEATS WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE FOR LONGER THAN 45 MINUTES ON A WARM DAY AND THE VEHICLE BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE AND CAN'T ACCELERATE PAST 40 MPH. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AND HAS LEFT MY FAMILY AND I STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE A FEW TIMES NOW. I CAN'T TRUST THIS VEHICLE AT ALL AND FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. NISSAN CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WHEN THEY HOOK IT UP TO THE COMPUTER BECAUSE THERE IS NO CODE ERROR AT THIS POINT AND IT WON'T DO IT WHEN THE DEALERSHIP IS JUST CRUISING AROUND TOWN FOR 15 MINUTES (SURPRISE SURPRISE AND A VERY CONVENIENT ISSUE FOR NISSAN). I HAVE A COMPLAINT FILED WITH NISSAN AND I AM BRINGING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR INSPECTION. I HOPE THEY ACTUALLY FIND SOMETHING BECAUSE IF THEY CAN'T ITS INCREDIBLY NEGLIGENT ON NISSAN'S PART AND IS A KNOWN ISSUE IT SEEMS FROM SIMPLE RESEARCH. A RECALL IS NEEDED ASAP. THIS IS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE, ESPECIALLY WHEN IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSTATE AND THE CAR IS UNRESPONSIVE. NHTSA PLEASE DO SOMETHING.

CVT ISSUES. WHENEVER I AM DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS (OVER 60 MPH) UPHILL, MY TRANSMISSION FAILS. A COUPLE TIMES, THE CAR HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED. I HAVE FLOORED THE GAS PEDAL AND MY CAR STILL WON'T MOVE. THIS HAS BEEN VERY FRIGHTENING, AS I AM ON THE FREEWAY AND SOMEONE COULD VERY EASILY CRASH INTO ME WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILS. THERE HAS BEEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE CVT FOR PREVIOUS MODELS BUT IT IS APPARENTLY STILL AN ISSUE.

JUST BOUGHT A USED 2013 NISSAN ROGUE 2 WEEKS AGO, IT HAS 51K MILES ON IT AND IT HAS ALL OF THE SAME PROBLEMS LISTED BY EVERYONE ELSE IN THESE REVIEWS IN REGARDS TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION. AFTER RESEARCHING TO SEE WHAT MIGHT BE WRONG WITH THIS CAR I AM SEEING ALL OF THE DECELERATION ISSUES, NOTABLY ON INCLINES AND I ALSO CANNOT BELIEVE THERE IS NO MANUFACTURERS RECALL. A PROBLEM I'M NOT SURE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS ENCOUNTERED WAS AFTER ABOUT 2 HOURS OF USE, TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM A PARKING LOT OR OUT OF A TOOL BOOTH THERE IS ZERO POWER, I CAN'T EXPRESS HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS. NISSAN PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, WE ARE HARD WORKING PEOPLE AND NONE OF US WILL EVER CONSIDER ANOTHER NISSAN IF THIS CAN'T BE FIXED.

WHEN IN MOTION, DRIVING 50+ MPH, CAR WILL SLIP INTO LOWER GEAR AND ONLY REACH A MAX SPEED OF ABOUT 30 MPH, EVEN WHEN FLOORING THE GAS PEDAL

PURCHASED A USED 2013 NISSAN ROGUE AWD FROM HERTZ CAR SALES NOT EVEN A YEAR AGO. 18 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAS HAD 3 NEAR FATAL ACCIDENTS AS CAR LOSES ACCELERATION SUDDENLY WHILE SHE WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED . IF SHE IS GOING UP A HILL, THE CAR GOES FROM 60 TO NOTHING AND SHE MUST QUICKLY PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY BEFORE SOMEONE BACK ENDS HER! WE ARE ALL DEATHLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYMORE. WILL IT TAKE A DEATH BEFORE A RECALL OF THIS VEHICLE AND IT'S DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION IS INITIATED?

ABOUT 120 MILES INTO A TRIP TO VIRGINIA FROM HARTFORD, CT, MY 2013 NISSAN ROGUE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. MY CAR CURRENTLY ONLY HAS 68,709 MILES ON IT. THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. FLOORING THE GAS PEDAL, I CONTINUOUSLY LOST POWER AND JUST PRAYED I WOULDN'T LOSE POWER WITH A SEMI TRUCK BEHIND ME. I MADE IT TO VIRGINIA, BUT ON MY WAY BACK I WAS CLIMBING A HILL AND MY ACCELERATION DECREASED DRAMATICALLY. THE CAR BEGAN TO BUCK AND I COULD ONLY GO ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR UP THE HILL. WHEN I GOT TO THE TOP OF THE HILL AND GRAVITY TOOK OVER, THE PROBLEM ENDED. WITHIN A WEEK AFTER FINALLY GETTING HOME, I TOOK THE CAR TO HARTE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN HARTFORD, CT. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY CVT, A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE ENTIRE COST OF REPAIR. AS I DROVE AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP, A LOW GRUMBLING AND GRINDING NOISE COULD BE HEARD. THE CAR WAS BUCKING BADLY FROM ABOUT 15-40MPH. I TURNED AROUND AND HAD THEM LOOK AT IT AGAIN AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS IN THE PROCESS OF DYING. I DROVE AWAY AGAIN AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THE CAR WAS LOSING POWER ON ACCELERATION, UNTIL FINALLY, WITHIN ABOUT A 1/4 MILE AWAY FROM MY HOME, THE CAR BUCKED ONE LAST TIME AND STOPPED MOVING. AGAIN, THIS WAS AT A BUSY INTERSECTION WITH CARS COMING UP VERY CLOSE BEHIND ME. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN USA AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CVT FOR ROGUES ONLY UP TO 2010. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM HAS EXTENDED FAR BEYOND 2010 TO OTHER ROGUES, INCLUDING MINE.

DURING MY TRAVEL FROM MARYLAND TO OHIO. MY NISSAN ROGUE 2013 EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS GOING UP MOUNTAINS IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TRAVEL. THE SUV WOULD NOT GO PASS 45MPH EVEN WHEN I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. I TOOK THE SUV TO THE FIRST NISSAN DEALER THAT I SAW AT MY DESTINATION AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS "SLIPPING" AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS OVERHEATED. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS TRANSMISSION WAS DANGEROUS. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH/COLLISION AND COULD HAVE INJURED OR KILLED MY CHILDREN AND I.

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.

WE WERE TAKING A TRIP TO WASHINGTON DC FROM FLORIDA AND WHEN WE GOT ONTO 95 I TURNED THE CRUISE CONTROL ON TO SET AT 75 ABOUT AN HOUR LATER IT STARTED LOOSING ACCELERATION. TURNED THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF AND KEPT LOSING ACCELERATION . HAD TO LET CARS PASS SO I COULD GET OVER INTO RIGHT LANE TO GET OFF ON EXIT. LET THE CAR SIT FOR 30 MINUTES.PROCEEDED TO HEAD BACK HOME WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL AND CAR DID FINE. VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE. I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO DIE TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM. I RESEARCHED COMPLAINTS AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2010 ROGUES.

WE DROVE AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY THE RPMS WENT OVER 4000, AND THE CAR STARTED DECELERATING, WE WERE UNABLE TO GET OR KEEP HIGHWAY SPEED, EVEN WITH PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE TO PULL TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY. AFTER 15 MINUTES IT SEEMED TO FUNCTION, BUT A MILE LATER IT DID THE SAME THING. EVEN WORSE ON ANY SORT OF INCLINE, EVEN SLIGHT. FOR FEAR OF OUR SAFETY, WE HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED 55 MILES BACK HOME. I LOOKED IT UP AND AM WONDERING WHY THERE IS NO RECALL?? OUR SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS ALSO ON THE ROAD IS AT RISK!
Power train, Jun 9, 2016
STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT AND TRY TO ACCELERATE BUT NOTHING HAPPENS, CANNOT GET ABOVE 3000 RPMS. AFTER ABOUT 20 SECONDS, THE CAR BEGINS TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE SO FAR AND I'M SEEING MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON VARIOUS YEARS OF NISSAN ROGUES. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN A MOUNTAINOUS AREA, OUT OF NOWHERE MY CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE CAR TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. NOW THIS IS HAPPENING ON A REGULAR BASIS IF I DRIVE MY CAR FOR LONGER THAN AN HOUR AT 60+ MPH, IT WILL SUDDENLY STOP ACCELERATING. IN ADDITION, IN THE LAST FEW DAYS, AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE INTERSTATE OFF RAMP, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP AND THE CAR JUST BARELY MOVED, ENOUGH FOR ME TO HAVE PULLED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP GOING TO GET MYSELF OUT OF THE WAY. I HAD TO QUICKLY REVERSE TO MOVE MY CAR FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IF THERE HAD BEEN A CAR BEHIND ME AND I WAS UNABLE TO REVERSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED OVER AND OVER AGAIN AS AN ISSUE WITH THE CVT. MY CAR IS ONLY A 2013 AND JUST BARELY OVER THE (CRAPPY) POWERTRAIN WARRANTY THAT NISSAN OFFERS ON THIS CAR.
Power train, Vehicle speed control, May 20, 2016
AFTER DRIVING FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME, THE CAR WILL SUDDENTLY AND CONTINUALLY FAIL TO ACCELERATE OVER A CERTAIN SPEED EVEN WITH THE FUEL PEDAL PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. I BELIEVE THE CAR GOES INTO A FAIL SAFE MODE DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THIS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE AND I COULD NOT LONGER EVEN GET UP TO THE SPEED LIMIT

WHEN DRIVING ON HWY FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES AND YOU REACH AN INCLINE CAR LOOSES ALL ACCELERATION AND SLOWS DOWN TO 40 MPH NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO IT WON'T GO I NEARLY GOT HIT BY 18 WHEELER TWICE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS NISSAN DEALER SAID THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET KILLED

DURING OUR FAMILY VACATION IN 2015, WE WERE DRIVING THRU GEORGIA AND THE CAR WAS SET ON CRUISE CONTROL. WE WERE IN SOME HEAVY TRAFFIC, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE CRUISE KICKED OFF, THE CAR BEGAN A RAPID DECELERATION, THE RPM'S WENT TO ABOUT 5,000 AND WE ENDED UP CAUSING A TRAFFIC SNARL IN 5 LANES OF TRAFFIC UNTIL WE COULD COAST THIS VEHICLE OFF THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY FOR US, WE WERE ABLE TO DO SO WITHOUT INJURY TO OUR VEHICLE OR US PERSONALLY. IT BECAME A CLEARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN A BIG HURRY! WE CALLED A NISSAN DEALERSHIP CLOSE BY (FOUND ON THE INTERNET) AND SPOKE TO A SERVICE MANAGER. THEY WERE ABOUT TO CLOSE DOWN FOR THE DAY, HE WAS KIND ENOUGH TO GIVE US HIS PERSONAL CELL NUMBER AND TOLD US TO LET THE VEHICLE 'REST' FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND THEN IT SHOULD BE FINE TO DRIVE AGAIN. HE EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION 'SAFETY MECHANISM' THAT HAD KICKED IN AND IT'S BUILT TO SLOW THE SYSTEM DOWN TO COOL.WE DISCOVERED MANY WEBSITES DEDICATED TO PROBLEMS WITH THE 2013 NISSAN ROGUE CVT. FAILURE, AFTER FAILURE WERE NOTED, AND NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT COSTS. AS THE 3 YEAR 36,000 MILE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED THE CUSTOMER IS FORCED TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. THE AVERAGE COST BEING $4,200 FOR LABOR AND PARTS. QUITE SIGNIFICANT FOR ANY WORKING FAMILY. I AM ASKING FOR GUIDANCE IN THIS ISSUE, AND ANY INFORMATION WOULD BE APPRECIATED WHERE I SHOULD TURN FOR ASSISTANCE IN RESOLVING. AS I STATED ABOVE, I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR/REPLACEMENT. IF THE TRANSMISSION GOES OUT, I WILL HAVE A $22,000 PIECE OF USELESS METAL IN MY DRIVEWAY. MY FAMILY SAFETY IS A HUGE CONCERN, AND DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IN IT'S CURRENT STATE MAKES ME FEARFUL FOR OUR FAMILY'S SECURITY AND SAFETY WHILE DRIVING.

I DRIVE ABOUT 75 MILES TO AND FROM WORK. DURING THE SUMMER, WHEN I USE MY AIR CONDITIONING IN THE AFTERNOON DRIVE HOME AS I EXIT AND COME TO A STOP AT THE FIRST STOP SIGN I GET NO ACCELARATION AFTER THE STOP. THIS BECOMES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF CARS ALREADY TRAVELING IN THE LANE I'M PULLING INTO. THE REST OF THE RIDE HOME AT FUTURE STOPS IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. I NOW HAVE TO WAIT FOR A LARGE GAP IN TRAFFIC TO PULL OUT CAUSING TRAFFIC TO BACK UP BEHIND ME. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR ANYONE DRIVING THE ROGUE WITH THE AC ON FOR LONG DISTANCES. THE TRANSMISSIONS ISN'T SLIPPING, IT SIMPLY HAS NO POWER AFTER THE STOPS. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ON HOT DAYS IN THE SUMMER WHEN THE AC IS USED FOR THE RIDE HOME.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 2013 ROUGE. WHEN THE CAR WARMS UP IT STARTS MAKING A HUMMING SOUND. THE RPM GO UP QUICKLY AND EXPERIENCE LOSS OF POWER. IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CONFIRM THE NOISE AND EVERYTHING ELSE I DESCRIBED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS BURNT. THEY ASKED ME TO CONTACT NISSAN FOR ASSISTANCE SINCE I HAD 64,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES. AFTER TALKING TO THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE HE INFORMED ME THAT THEY COULDN'T ASSIST ME BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. MY PREVIOUS CAR WAS A 2008 ROGUE. I EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUE AT 90,000 MILES. BACK IN 2010, NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY'S FOR THE 2008-2010 ROGUES. THEY SAID "NISSAN IS TAKING THESE ACTIONS TO DEMONSTRATE OUR CONFIDENCE IN THE CVT TECHNOLOGY AND TO SHOW OUR COMMITMENT TO STAND BEHIND OUR PRODUCTS." AFTER MY PHONE CALL NISSAN DEMONSTRATED THAT THEY ARE NOT CONFIDENT IN THE CVT TECHNOLOGY AND THAT THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO PROVIDE AN SAFE TRAVELING VEHICLES FOR MY KIDS TO BE IN. NOW, IT HAS SLOWLY BECOME DANGEROUS VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE NOT KNOWING WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FAIL AND LEAVE US STRANDED.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE OFF THE FREEWAY ONTO AN EXIT RAMP WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHUT DOWN AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON ITS OWN. THE TRANSMISSION WAS ACTING LIKE IT WAS ''SLIPPING.'' SHE PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE IT TWO BLOCKS TO OUR HOME. THE CVT TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY OUR DEALER.
