We drove an hour on the highway and suddenly the rpms went over 4000, and the car started decelerating, we were unable to get or keep highway speed, even with pedal all the way to the floor. Luckily we were able to pull to side of highway. After 15 minutes it seemed to function, but a mile later it did the same thing. Even worse on any sort of incline, even slight. For fear of our safety, we had to have vehicle…

Stopped at a stoplight and try to accelerate but nothing happens, cannot get above 3000 rpms. After about 20 seconds, the car begins to accelerate. This has happened twice so far and i'm seeing many complaints about this on various years of nissan rogues. This is obviously an issue and needs to be addressed by nissan.

While driving on the interstate in a mountainous area, out of nowhere my car would no longer accelerate. I had to pull off of the road and restart the car to resolve the issue. Now this is happening on a regular basis if i drive my car for longer than an hour at 60+ mph, it will suddenly stop accelerating. In addition, in the last few days, after coming to a complete stop on the interstate off ramp, i tried to…

After driving for long periods of time, the car will suddently and continually fail to accelerate over a certain speed even with the fuel pedal pressed to the floor. I believe the car goes into a fail safe mode due to an issue with the transmission. This happened on the interstate and i could not longer even get up to the speed limit

Recently on a long four hour drive on the interstate. The car would not shift down and went into its safe mode. I could not even get it to back out of a slanted parking lot that i had pulled in to drop my wife off. I had to let it cool for 30 minutes. I took…

My car has a cvt transmission that is very sensitive to heat. When it gets hot (which can occur when driving long distances, up hill or in hot weather) the car goes into safe mode that reduces the speed of the car dramatically and you have no acceleration power. I was traveling for about an hour and half at a constant speed of 75-80 on a flat to rolling freeway in the summer (temperate average here about 100*). All…

The transmission consistently overheats (service dept told me this is what the issue is) and caused the car to go into "fail safe" mode which means you have no power. I was travelling in an 75 mph zone and the fastest i could get to was 60. Tractor trailers were having to slam on their breaks. I put my flashers on to make it safer. This has happened on 6 different trips. Per the svc dept this is a known issue with…
