A few months prior to my transmission fully breaking down, i was experiencing episodes where my rogue would lose acceleration even as the accelerator pedal was pressed as far down as it could. Mainly these episodes would occur after stopping at a stop sign or traffic light. I would begin to press the accelerator; however, the vehicle would not accelerator nor would the rpm's increase. Suddenly, the "engine" would…

Driving down the highway, my 2009 nissan rogue began overheating. Had the vehicle towed to my mechanic where he found coolant in the spark plugs so replaced all plugs and checked the radiator. When i went to pick up the vehicle, it wouldn't start. He checked it over again and said that it had a blown head gasket. Unfortunately, the power train warranty was only good for 5 yrs/60,000 miles. I was 6,000 miles over the…

Vehicle would start and i was able to change gears but these will not activate. Even when accelerating the vehicle it will not move. Vehicle had to be towed. This is the second incidence; the first time we experience this situation was at the time we took the vehicle out of the dealer. After stopping for gas and starting the vehicle again it only moved for about 5 mins, then stopped completely. Vehicle was returned…

When going over 60 miles an hour, usually about an hour into a long drive, the nissan rogue will not accelerate. The rpm indicator goes haywire and my foot is completely down on the pedal but there is no acceleration. This first happened in august 2012 when i was driving over a mountain to get to the desert so i thought the car was overheating. Since then this has been happening consistently whenever i drive for…

I was driving down the highway at 65-70 mph. Came to a slight long incline on the highway. It slowed to 60 miles per hour with the accelerator all the way pushed down. When i came to a rest stop and took off again-the acceleration was slow to pick up speed. This is not the first time this has happened. I was coming back from seattle to spokane, wa going up the mountain pass. I could not go over 30 miles per hour…

I punched the pedal to the…

I was driving from baltimore to philadelphia in june of this year. After about 1 hour of highway driving my 2009 nissan rogue started to stall as i reduced speed to get on the ramp of another highway. I wanted to pick up speed in order to merge onto the next highway, but my car would not respond.

I was driving on i-25, my car set on cruise control at 75 mph when suddenly the speed dropped to 45 mph in a matter of seconds - without warning. I pushed the gas pedal down to the floor but it didn't do anything. There was also a whining sound like the car was working extra hard. I immediately pulled off the highway; fortunately, there were no cars behind me. I was confused and didn't know what happened so i sat…

During the cold weather, and it happens in every winter that the transmission was not shifting in the morning, it stayed at high rpm when gas panel was applied. It was very dangerous since my commute started with a highway. *tr

3rd failure - same problem with 2009 nissan rogue 4cyl w/cvt. Car loses power - when stepping on gas, car only creeps forward, accelerating very slowly as if it's not getting gas or as if you are starting off in a high gear. Attempts to manually downshift have no effect; shifting into neutral allows engine to rev freely. Last two incidents occurred with wife and 2 young children in car on busy road - very high…

This is a safety issue! - over the past few years, i filed a complaint to the nhtsa and made numerous complaints to the dealer service center about this ongoing problem with the cvt. I commute everyday on the nj turnpike. I have to make stops 'to let the engine/cvt cool off' both going and coming home from work because the car will not accelerate. I barely get over to the shoulder in high speed traffic. Sometimes if…
