The vehicle was being driven on the highway and the acceleration completely dropped. The car would not go over 20 mph! There was a recall up to 2010 nissan rogue for the cvt transmission but doesn't cover 2012. The error was torque converter clutch solenoid circuit intermittent. The nissan dealership said they don't replace that part and it needs a whole new transmission for $5000. I find it hard to believe other…

While driving highway speed, engine rpm would go up without hitting accelerator, then no matter how much i pushed the accelerator i could not get the car up to speed to pass other vehicles. Took vehicle to dealership for evaluation. Either need to spend $3000 for a 'transmission fluid cooler' or $4000 for a new transmission.

Airbag malfunction light is on, dealership tells me they don't know what it means, just that it should be replaced. Could mean that my airbag will not deploy, could mean that it will deploy randomly. My warranty did not cover it, nissan will not fix it. It is $1300 and i have another huge problem with my car: my transmission is going out for the second time and my car is at 102,000 miles. Warranty covered it the…

Cvt transmission failure. As i was driving on the parkway his car will just slow down to a crawl causing a dangerous driving condition. The car will barely move and many other vehicles have come very close to hitting me due to the slow speed that the car will go.

2012 nissan rogue lost acceleration while on a trip. Rogue would not go more then 30-40 mph in a 80 mph speed zone on highway. Almost got hit a couple times trying to keep up with traffic and having to pull over to give the car a break. It was very dangerous with being 7 months pregnant, driving in a no service area. Couldn't call for help. It was hot out to have to stop with my self and three dogs in the car.
