We were completely stopped at a stop sign waiting to pull out into traffic. There were cars coming but at a safe enough distance so we accelerated, got into the roadway and the car wouldn't move. We had the gas pedal all the way to the floor and the car wouldn't move. Since then we have had multiple incidents of this where the transmission freezes and we are stuck in oncoming traffic. It's only a matter of time…

Stopped at a stop sign. Pushed the accelerator but the car would not accelerate. Continued down the road and could not go above 40 mph on the highway. Stopped the car at the side of the road, turned off the car. Thought maybe just a hiccup and would return to normal. Started it up and began to drive and still was unable to accelerate above 40 mph on the highway. Called the shop and let them know i was on my way. On…

Vehicle has been popping in and out of gear, lurching,stopping for the last two days. Today in lurched forward, launching us down an icy hill, after doing 5 or 6 360 degree spins, we stopped at the bottom of the hill. Only by sheer luck, did we not hit anything. This seems like a very dangerous problem that others have had. Is nissan doing anything about it? *tr

On dec 12, 2011 at 0500 am my 2009 2008 nissan rogue had a keyless entry rollaway. The car was turned off and rolled away causing car and property damage (damage to the car door) after turning off my engine i left the car, leaving the car door open and the car rolled away. I believe that this is a major design flaw of keyless entry cars and that it is the responsibility of both the ntsb and nissan to personally…

Vehicle has sudden loss of power due to overheating of transmission fluid causing vehicle to go into a limp mode reducing speed to approximately 40-50 mph. Happens when driving at highway speeds for 2 or more hours. Once coming to a stop, the vehicle will not accelerate at all...completely powerless. Have had to a nissan dealer 4 times receiving nothing more than a band-aid temporary repair by draining some of the…

It caused car to lose speed, no longer pull, idle erratically, and not be able to get up to speeds over 55 miles an hour. It would also not pull off from stops but rather just coast out into the middle of an intersection, leaving…

I own a 2008 nissan rogue that has had ongoing problems with the cvt. When i first experienced the problem, nissan did not even know/acknowledge there was an issue. When traveling during the summer on the highway at high speeds (70-80 mph) i would randomly lose power to the vehicle. For instance, if i was driving with the cruise control on, it would shut off and gradually start to decelerate. Stepping on the gas did…

I have a 2008 nissan rogue (all wheel drive). It has a loud noise (grinding/clunking) sound at slow speed. I'm told by the dealer that they have another one that is doing the same and they don't have an answer. Nissan states that they are looking into it, don't know what it is, but that the vehicle is safe to drive..... If they don't know what it is how can they say that it's safe to drive? To me it sounds like it's…

I have a transmission rattle/clanking noise which is fairly constant in the car, except at high acceleration. I have complained numerous times to nissan about the problem, but nissan is currently considering this sound normal. It has been getting worse, and i am concerned about a transmission failure, which could cause an accident. *tr
