    We were driving back home when my husband noticed that the car would not accelerate above 65 mph. This occurred about halfway home, so about 200 miles into our drive back home (of the 350 mile total). The car was not overheated, nor was it making noise. He would put his foot down all the way on the accelerator, as if he wanted to go full speed and it would not respond. There weren't any warning lights lit up on the…

    The car experienced extreme deceleration on the highway. I was unable to accelerate in a minimum 45 mile per hour highway (in puerto rico) when car decelerated and was unable to go more than 5 miles per hour after decelerating for a toll. As i changed lanes to get to the shoulder, i almost caused what could have been a fatal accident of myself and my infant daughter. I pulled over to the shoulder and shut the car…

    My rogue is having intermittent problems with acceleration after driving on the highway. It does it when it slows and you try to start going again and it does it when you stop after being on the highway and try to start going again. It does not do it every time the car is driven on the highway either. I pushed the pedal to the floor and the car did not accelerate at all. Frequently, it was stuck at a the speed in…

    After traveling 50 miles, my 2008 nissan rogue failed to accelerate at the first stop light. This occurred again on 7/17/2013. I traveled 50 miles and again the car failed to accelerate at the first stop. I called nissan consumer affairs and they claim not to have any knowledge of this type of incident occurring in the rogue. I researched various forums on the internet and it seems to be prevalent in nissan's cvt…

    This is one of several similar incidents. I was on a road trip to nyc, driving on the highway with the cruise control on at 73 mph. In all incidents, i noticed that after having the cruise on for over an hour, all of a sudden the cruise would just "kick off". It would stop working. And my car would start to decelerate. Being on a main highway, traveling 73 mph with everyone around me going equally as fast, if not…

    The cvt transmission in the 2008 nissan rogue is very dangerous. The car loses acceleration after traveling a distance (over 40 miles) and when it comes to a stop, it will not take off. Saturday, june 8, 2013 i drove from college station, tx to houston, tx (85 miles). When i came a stop sign after exiting the freeway, i stopped and then attempted a right turn into oncoming traffic. Once i depressed the gas, the car…

    After driving 2.5 - 3hrs of highway driving would not accelerate (increase in speed ). I have been in intersections and the car would not accelerate which is a very serious safety concern. I have to travel to alabama and florida several times each year from my home in south carolina and this has happened when trying to pass large16 wheeler trucks or just keep up with traffic flow. To do this when traveling at speeds…

    My 2008 nissan rogue has a tendency to lose power on the highway after being driven for over a long period of time at a constant speed, usually about 45 minutes to an hour at 75 miles an hour. The vehicle will start my making a weird whistling or whining noise then after that you cannot accelerate it'll be stuck at whatever speed your going. When i come across a bridge or a hill it'll slow down a bit then accelerate…

    On multiple occasions while driving on freeway or around town rogue would not accelerate properly from stop. Pedal would be pressed down but car would barely inch forward. Also, twice as i was just driving home from work this symptom started and the car just stopped running altogether. Had the vehicle towed to my mechanic and he told me i had ran out of gas both times. I know the gage read 1/4 tank both times. The…

    Several times in the past few months, rogue will not accelerate when trying to go from stopped position. No power to go uphill or pull into traffic. This does not happen all the time, only occasionally, but is happening more often. Yesterday, car did this while traveling at speed of 55+ mph. This was the first time it slowed while already at high speed. My daughter drives this vehicel and we are parking it for now…

    While me and my child were traveling uphill on a busy freeway, i noticed the car was decelerating. No matter how hard i pressed on the pedal to increase the speed, the car continued to slow down. Many cars behind us had to swerve from hitting us and honked for us to move out of their way. Unfortunately, it was beyond my control and the car would not move. A couple of guys had to move our vehicle out of harms way. It…

Both times i was driving on the highway, at 60-65mph when suddenly, the car would not go over 40mph even when the gas pedel was floored.

    This involves a nissan rogue s 2008 we purchased new from the dealer. At approximately 55,000 miles while on a trip to destin, fl our cvt transmission began to malfunction on the highway. 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 started to notice the problem when trying to pull out on to a busy road that was on a slight hill. For some reason the car would not go when you hit the gas. After a while of doing this a light came on and i took it to have it looked at. Whatever they did seem to have fixed the problem of the car not accelerating when on a hill. But the problem still remained that if you drove for so long (5-10 min) on the…
