    This vehicle is very dangerous to operate on warmer days. The transmission seems to overheat very easily causing the vehicle to go into a fail-safe "limp mode". This is very dangerous as it occurs on the highway, on hills, mountain roads, and with my children in the car. It has placed me in dangerous safety situations and the dealership and manufacturer acknowledge the issue exists but take no further action in…

    While driving long distances at high speeds (75-80mph) the car suddenly stopped accelerating even with gas pedal floored. The car automatically decelerated to 50 mph and maxed out at 60 mph. We pulled the car over and checked all fluids, which proved normal. We turned the car off to let it cool for a few minutes. Once the car was turned back on it drove normally for about an hour and then the problem occurred again.…

    Cvt transmission and cooler - vehicle randomly drops acceleration. When acceleration drops, the car will not go above 40mph even if you put the pedal to the floor, and the rpms rise to 8. No rhyme or reason. This is a known issue with this transmission. Nissan only extended warranty to 2010 models, yet this is the exact issue covered under the extended warranty. There are many other nissan owners with 2011 models…

    The 2011 nissan rogue has a problem that is common with all of them. When going uphill in the vehicle it looses speed and can no longer accelerate. The car will slow down to around 40 mph. It depends usually on the grade of the hill. This is a safety issue as semi trucks can go faster than what the vehicle is going while going uphill. Cars are trying to pass semi trucks and if the semi truck has to slow down going…

It has dropped as low as 30 mph without recovery and i have to stop on the side of the road for 20-39 minutes and then attempt to drive again either very…
