Power train failure!! Death risk!! While on a road trip, my car completely lost power. My family and i were in complete danger. After driving about 50 miles, i lost all speed at the el cajon pass (15 fwy north, heading towards victorvile, ca). I was driving at an uphill incline when i noticed my speed was decreasing and i begain to make my way to the right. The far right lane, the "slow lane" is used by semi- trucks…

While driving down the highway at highway speeds 75mph all of a sudden my vehicle would not go any faster than 40 mph, accelerator to the floor. This happened to me on a few different occasions, however no warning lights ever came on. If i pulled over and shut the car off it seemed to perform "normal" again. And this only happened to me when i was on the highway driving a long distance. Upon the return from my last…

Cat transmission overheats and subsequently will not accelerate after driving at highway speeds for over an hour. Very dangerous. The first incident took me completely by surprise on a highway in dallas entering dfw. I feel like this is the definition of a lemon but also very dangerous when not disclosed.

Transmission suddenly and without warning has close to 100% loss of power. Three times this happened when stopped and attempting a left turn with on coming traffic, narrowly avoiding a bad accident. Even with accelerator pedal to the floor car would barely move. Car is very dangerous and is at a repair facility waiting for a new transmission.

Car has very slow to no acceleration from a start. Sometimes it stops accelerating in reverse. This does not matter if car is cold or driven for a while.

While driving at 65 mph on the new jersey turnpike, the car suddenly dropped in acceleration to 40mph. Pressing on the gas caused the rpm to rev, however no change in speed occurred. Upon inquiring about this issue, i came to find out that this is a common problem with nissan's cvt components that the company is aware of, however no recall has been issued. Extreme weather conditions, such as heat waves, using the…

While driving a 2011 nissan rogue back from the dealership, the engine light came on and the vehicle stopped accelerating. The accelerator was pressed to the floor and nothing happened at all. Luckily, i was alone in the vehicle and not my wife and two young kids. That could have be devastating if loss of acceleration occurred on the freeway. This vehicle is equipped with a cvt transmission which nissan is…

The car makes a whining noise (sounds like a wind up toy) and have experienced loss of power. I was on a road trip in july of 2016, had driven a couple of hours, driving on the highway (75 mph) and suddenly lost power/could not accelerate - dropped down to 20mph with the gas pedal pushed all the way down to the floor. Later that same trip, after pulling off to get gas, the car would not go at all while at a red stop…

Nissan has had and continues to have transmission problems, they did a recall for transmission failure up to year 2009. I have a 2011 nissan rogue with 80,000 miles and i just received a call saying that my transmission needs to be replaced. This cvt transmission has always had problems and nissan knows this but they wont and know one in the govt will do anything to hold them accountable.

June 20, 2016: traveling at 70 mph on i-70 in colorado, less than 50 miles west of grand junction, co, my 2011 nissan rogue, suddenly lost power on a gradual uphill climb. No engine light or warning light was noted on the console. On steeper inclines, the rogue would not exceed 35 mph.

After driving the car for a couple of hours continuously, especially on the highway, the transmission bogs down and the car will barely go. Nissan has a tsb out on this issue for several of their models that have the cvt transmission. My rogue has 120,000 miles on it and i'm on my third transmission due to this problem.

I am beyond upset and down right frustrated with nissan. Both of the nissan i have owned have had the transmissions go out in them. One at 120,000 miles and the other at under 85,000. This is a safety hazard and could potentially kill someone! I just had a used transmission with 22,000 put in and the same [xxx] issue is happening. I owe over 10k on my vehicle and am going to have the hardest time selling this.…

Brought car to mechanic because car was making grinding noise. After checking, mechanic found cvt transmission failing. Car is only at 35000 miles. Not cover by warranty because i had the car pass 60 months. Apparently this is a issue with cvt transmission with previous rogue. Warranty was extended for models up to 2010. Not 2011 model, even though is the same exact car.
