I was almost struck twice. After 20 minutes i was able to start the…

From stop to trying to cross a intersection vehicle stopped accelerating. If another car was coming a loss of acceleration can cause a serious accident. I have seen several complaint for the same issue posted all over the internet. From 2008 to 2013 models. It seems to be a known issue and no recall yet. I hope they do not wait until a death occurs. *tr

On numerous occasions when trying to accelerate the car will lose power to the point it almost fills as if it will shut off. Usually happens when starting off on a grade or slowing for a turn then pushing the gas pedal. The car also shudders and feels like it chugging or wobbling along, as if the road it lumpy. I have seen numerous complaints on the issue, but no recall or service bulletins have been issued. When it…

The 2011 rogue is the car we use for longer trips when we're not flying. About two hours into a long interstate trip in may 2013 we started to hear a high pitched whine from the transmission whenever we would accelerate to go uphill or pass another vehicle. Shortly after we started hearing that noise the transmission was unable to "downshift" (technically cvts don't downshift) and we lost power. We could still…
