2013 Nissan Rogue Complaint Log

Transmission is the issue. It is available for inspection. I have to have my transmission fluid changed every 8,000 miles - my car will stop at red lights/stop signs. The RPM’s will go up but the car will not move. This has almost caused multiple accidents as the car behind me thinks I am going when I cannot move. If I stop, I may not get going for several seconds. It’s taken up to a couple minutes at times. This has been looked at by our mechanic and it does this for him as well. There are NO warnings. No check engine light, no change in the car. No signs of this happening. It is terrifying not knowing when this may happen. The transmission fluid is black when we get it changed after inly 8,000 miles.

1) Air bag light on indicating it doesnt work 2) horn sounding continusly, activate on a left wheel turn 3) cruise control doesnt work but is active in the screen panel 4) radio start automatocally increasing volume continiously driving me crazy.

I am filing a claim here today because I feel that Nissan has ripped me off in coverage of my Nissan Rouge. I was told by 4 different people about the CVT Transmission problem that has been going on with Nissan Rouge Vehicles. I was stranded on the side of the interstate 84 with two small children. I had to get into an UBER because tow truck couldn't allow more than 2 in truck. Of course I could not leave 1 child. My vehicle should be covered under warranty because this is a known problem with Nissan Rouge vehicles. However, Nissan is not covering this issue on my vehicle.

I was driving on the interstate when my car suddenly stopped accelerating. There were no warnings or messages on my dashboard. I was almost rear ended by a semi truck because the car rapidly lost speed. I pulled off of the road for over an hour before the car would accelerate again.

Ongoing issue with transmission. Original incident was loss of acceleration at on-ramp to highway. Continued driving, no repeatable issue. Later code P1778 with intermittent hesitation after idle-stop in traffic. Ordered replacement “stepper motor”. Tried changing transmission fluid, filters, “stepper motor,” oil cooler flush. Now vehicle does not go into reverse and _continuously_ hesitates after idle-stop in traffic. Consistent hesitation after stopping causes other drivers to tailgate, swerve and become obscene. Problem has not yet been observed or confirmed by dealer. Component has not yet been inspected by police, manufacturer or insurance representative. There was no warning light before the initial failure.

MY 2013 NISSAN ROGUE S 2.5L 4CYl GAS QR25DE IS HAVING A CLOGGING WATER LEAK ISSUE. I STARTED EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE OVER 6 MONTHS AGO UPTIL NOW FOR MY SUV. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE HAVING THAT LEAK IN MY PASSENGERS FRONT SIDE COMING OUT FROM MY OPEN ROOF AREA AND WETING MY INTERIOR CAR FRONT FOOT MATS AND STINCTS. THE LEAK FLOWS OUT UNDER MY VEHICLE, THERE BY, WATER GUSHES OUT WATER UNDER MY VEHICLE, LIKE A TAP WATER RUNNING OUT. I HAD TAKEN IT TO A MECHANIC WORKSHOP 6 MONTHS AGO & STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE OVER AGAIN. AFTER UNCLOGGING IT, IT COMES BACK CLOGGED BACK AGAIN. I NEED HELP FOR RECALL OR ANYHOW THAT NHTSA WILL HELP TO CONTACT NISSAN TO TAKE CARE OF IT, SO IT BE FIXED PROPERLY, NOT UPTO A YEAR I BOUGHT THIS CAR. I'M NOT HAPPY THAT NISSAN PRODUCTS FOR OPEN ROOF WILL BE HAVING THIS ISSUE & PEOPLE COMPLAINS IT ALSO AS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE MAKE & MODEL. THANK YOU!

Transmission failure was diagnosed. The car stopped accelerating on me on winding back roads putting myself and others at risk. Nissan told me there are no recalls so they will not repair it. This is the second issue I had with the car, however the first was not related to safety concerns. This one most certainly is! My life was at risk as a curvy road has blind spots other vehicles will not expect a car to be broken down when they come around a curve. This is due to the 2013 Nissan Rogue Transmission failure my SUV only has 97,000 miles

2013 Nissan stalled and suddenly RPMs s went up and would not accelerate and I was out in the middle of the HI way was not able to accelerate had to coast over on the side of the HI way. would not move forward or backward. close to causing serious car accident.

The water leaking on driver floor and I don’t know what happens so I think air conditioner because I checked the sunroof and it is good.

While driving, alarm on car just started horn blowing and all hazzard lights began to flash. This happened on a second occasion that after parking car, the alarms and lights went off when door was opened to get out. The third occurrence lights and horn began blowing while parked. Was unable to get it to stop Drove it home with all horns and lights flashing. On the first occurrence the sudden blowing, non stop of horn and all hazard lights flashing startled me, the driver, and I frantically searched for a place to pull over It took over 15 minutes before it stopped flashing and blowing. Each episode was sudden and unexpected. No buttons keys etc had been touched during these episodes, except the opening of the door during 1 previously mentioned time. I do not know if it is an electrical issue or component issue. But car definitely is being taken to the shop, which leaves me hunting transportation until something can be figured out. I had a disabled individual in the care with me that caused a fear and anxiety with him. He was riding in the back seat.

THERE HAS BEEN A ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION FOR 5 YEARS AT LEAST AND AS OF 2 WEEKS AGO, THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY WENT OUT.

Recently the Air bag light on dashboard continually flashing. No collision. They do not turn off. I cannot reset

Driver’s side airbag warning, airbag not functional. Airbag function alert light (flashing) came on with every vehicle start, and continues during car operation. There have been no impacts, dash services or events since car was new, that might cause alert. Dealer says defective parts in airbag harness and sensor need to be replaced, at our cost.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the seat belt warning light was blinking. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer but was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 142,000.

The car driver side window door leaks water into the driver side floor near where the legs go. The floor is always wet has Mold on it. Mirror above driver side has mold on it. Seatbelts throughout the car have accumulated mold on them. Behind the driver side that rug is wet soaked as well. The water has traveled to the left side of the vehicle is now getting moist. The trunk never shuts there’s an electrical issue with the wiring. As I drive the trunk opens and shuts not completely but unlatches allowing the trunk to swing open. The electrical issue with the trunk has drained my battery several times. The notification of the door door being open is constantly draining my battery. I have been stranded several times due to this electrical issue. As I drive the steering wheel tilt to the right I cannot control my steering. My steering wheel now looks like it’s out of place it’s like if I try to drive straight the car will go slight right. I have three toddlers who I need to drive to daycare in order to go to work to provide for my family. I do not feel safe driving this car. I went to a Nissan dealership informed them of all these issues in my concerns that I did not feel safe driving this car and they said there was nothing I could do about it unless I paid for the fix. As a consumer defect I do not feel I should be responsible for the manufacture errors

Lack of power under acceleration when driving upgrade hills. Engine RPMs increases but vehicles did not accelerate and stayed at about 40 mph in highway (with whining noise and oil smell). On the way back home, same thing happened when stopped at a traffic light, vehicle would not move with engine RPMs increases.

This car went on fire after being parked for over 5 hours.

After about 1.5 hours of highway driving, the car suddenly started slowing down even with cruise control. When I exited, car shuddered and became sluggish at the STOP sign. I was afraid I would get hit behind on the highway. This is a transmission problem that has occurred multiple times in the last 16 months and is worsening. About 15 months ago, we changed the transmission fluid, which improved things but for only 8-9000 miles. Now it is worse than before.

Airbag light flashing on and off, code B1054 shows driver airbag module(open).

Initially had transmission(Control valve) repaired/replaced in 2018 due to it stopping suddenly while on the highway. Gradually I began noticing it start to shudder(in particular while in drive but stopped), slow to accelerate and felt like it wasn't "catching" when hitting the gas and then jerks forward. Check engine light came on last week(Code P1740) and was informed it was the transmission and valve circuit again.

When driving the car it will start to slow down though i hit the gas it doesn't do anything, I have to try to find a safe place to pull over and not get hit by another car while doing so. If I stop and wait it will sometimes get better, but it started doing it more often so I stopped driving it. I'm usually driving in town on flat roads when it happens. There are no warning lights coming on, the engine temp gauge doesn't show overheating. If I put the transmission in neutral I can push the gas pedal and the RPM increases but not when the transmission is in gear. The battery is fine and has no starting issues. I have checked fluid levels and they are full.

My 2013 Rogue air bag light started flashing randomly. This truck hasn't been in an accident. The other issue is with the transmission. I had previously experienced issues with the speed not accelerating when it heats up. Now my transmission light came on and it makes a wining noise. I was on the road and it started acting up not picking up speed. I was on a 70 highway and had to pull over wait for half an hour. Only difference is now my transmission light came on. It has 89k miles.

Need a new transmission. Mechanic stated it was slipping. I drive to and from Work. I see there’s many others with the same issue. There should be a recall. Have to come up with 4500 Dollars When the car isn’t even worth that much and I owe that much left on the car note.

When you drive highway speed for 45 mins it will drop your speed to about 45 you can't accelerate there is no power to get back up to speed and if you pull over and stop you can't go anywhere for a while. It is very unsafe ad this has happen to me in heavy traffic.

At 96,000 miles, I was driving and the CVT transmission went out. I was able to pull over but had to have the car towed for service. Nissan has had numerous problems with failing CVT transmissions, some recalled. I had service done from the dealership - $6,000 was what I paid after negotiating a quote for $1,000 more for a new transmission. I did notice a revving issue just prior to the failure - RPM gauge showing fluctuations.

i have had my vehicle for 4 years with no issues and recently started having transmission issues. the car will loose power on the highway risking my life and my children on interstate 78. i have to pull over and turn off the car and wait 20 minutes before it works somewhat. if stopped at a light the car does not go and the pedal depressed all the way to the floor. i will be contacting nissan. i did enter my vin information for the recall for 2013 vehicles nut this one was not part of that recall. please help. this is very dangerous for anyone and expensive to repair even if you take care of your car.

I was driving down the highway from the airport headed back home, and the car started to lose power. My foot was pressing the pedal to accelerate but the RPMS went past 3-4K and the speed kept going down. No engine lights showed up on the dash or any type of warning. I pulled over on the brim of the highway, I called someone who said to let it sit for a while and try again - i checked my radiator fluid - it was fine and didn't over heat. All electrical components work - i could barely accelerate. I was able to coast for a while at 60 mph and then when i needed to accelerate nothing happened. I tried to call the dealership today and they said there is no safety recalls - but i can see there is a CVT extended warranty in place, but not until 2014 Nissan rogue. I have a 2013 nissan rogue.

At 156k I'm getting told I have to replace my slipping transmission. I just recently had to replace my lower control arms. Diagnosed to replace my CV axle. Also, last year I had to pay to have my seat belts fixed since the rear passenger belts would not buckle leaving serious safety risks for my children

The transmission is going out and the car is less than 10 years old and it just hit 119,817 miles. I looked at the information on the Nissan Rogue's and it states that the manufacturer had a extended warranty on some of their Rogue's transmissions but not all of them for transmission repair, only some of their Rogues, because they apparently build a crappy transmission. I've looked up this extended warranty and any recall notices here but there are none showing. How do we get Nissan to fix their mess? This is ridiculous! I was driving down the interstate with my 9 month old grandson, when my car lost power and started jerking; I had to pull over and wait until the traffic was cleared so I didn't cause an accident. The car wouldn't go any faster the 18 MPH , not a safe place of the older lady and her grandson to be.. stuck on side of the interstate. After giving the car time to sit for awhile, we were able to get going again, but every time the car went over a certain speed, usually over 60 MPH, it would start to jerk again.

Unexpected CVT transmission failure on a gently used 2013 Roque with 96,000 miles on it. No help from Nissan or previous class action suits even though it's clear they knew this an issue. This vehicle, like many others, were properly maintained and should have been included in those approved for extended warranty. Nissan told me that I was not listed as the owner but I'm the 2nd owner and I guess that's there excuse for not notifying me of any class action that MIGHT have been worthwhile to file. Very upset and car just towed tonight to Nissan for $4,800 cvt tranny repair.

When stopped at a stop sign or red light car losses power and almost stalls.

The airbag light is flashing on off in a repeat pattern continuously. Mileage is about 75,000. Attempts to reset it using the key switch on-off method have not been successful. I see other owners have filed complaints of similar nature. Taking it to dealer for evaluation and subsequent repair if any. However wanted to report the problem in case this is a widespread occurrence with other owners also

Just last week, the RPMs on my 2013 Nissan Rogue started going crazy, ramping up and down, the car started jerking -- turns out it was a sign of the transmission slipping -- but it returned to "normal" after a few minutes. We continued driving and were on the highway on our way home when all of a sudden, the car went from doing 65 mph to about 15 mph, even though my husband had his foot all the way down on the gas. It was petrifying as we were on a high-speed highway with a speed limit of 65 mph (with many people doing 80 mph), and in addition to our safety, we were concerned about our unborn baby--as I am 3 months pregnant. Thankfully this happened when we weren't terribly far from home and we were able to make it, riding on the shoulder with our hazards on but it was terrifying and definitely dangerous. The car gave no signs of these issues before and it had just passed inspection 2 weeks prior. The car has 92,000 miles; I bought it brand new in 2013; and it has been regularly maintenanced and serviced throughout the years. The check engine light finally came on close to the end of this ordeal (well after the gas pedal stopped responding) and when we brought it to the repair shop they confirmed it was the CVT--which they said is a known defect with many Nissan Rogues. I was frustrated to find out that a class action lawsuit was settled for 2014-2018 Nissan Rogues for CVT and although this a known defect of the 2013 Nissan Rogue as well, the dealership and the company said there's nothing they can do. Now we're looking at a $4,000+ bill to replace the transmission -- and I'm just praying we never have this issue again because this is our primary car for us, our 2-year-old, and by the end of the year, newborn baby. I was never notified before that this could be an issue but a quick internet search really opened my eyes.

Driver's side seatbelt keeps coming unlocked for no apparent reason. Airbag light stays on because of this issue.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the passenger’s side seat belt signaled that the seat belt was detached despite being correctly attached. The horn also failed intermittently. The contact spoke to the dealer and was informed that the horn and seat belt failure was related to an electrical failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.

I Have a 2013 Nissan Rogue AWD Sport. There is no single incident. Just the issue of the CVT Transmission breaking down every year I've owned this stupid car. Everything is fine. The car is 185k miles and do all the regular maintenance and the car is fine. The only issue is the Transmission has literally broken every year and the warranty even covered the first transmission break which happened within 3 months and then less than a year repaired/fixed by replacing the CVT with a refurbished transmission. Then about over a year later had a $2400 repair job on all the gaskets and seals on the transmission because of leaking and slipping. Same issue we'd push the gas and nothing would happen. Here I am about a year later on the dot from the $2400 repair and starting skippin and slipping again and my mother in law took the car to get checked out and it needs another transmission repair probably $1400 at least they won't fully know until they go in and look. 4 repairs in 4 years on the same part , the CVT transmission. Had I known this was going to be a continuing issue like this, I would've purchased a new car instead of going cheap on a used car in decent shape. I research Nissan and transmissions and there's lawsuit cases on the transmissions so apparently its not the old car or anything like that. Its a continuing issue with transmission and they should tell or warn people.

I was driving home and smelled burning rubber or plastic coming from my vent while my heat was on. The smell got stronger and stronger. I turn the heat off and only smelled it a little. I parked my vehicle and I am now in search of a mechanic.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH, there was a clicking and rattling noise coming from underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who diagnosed that metal fragments were present inside the transmission. No further information was available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 46,000.

Every time you drive on the highway going 70 miles per hour the hood of the car moves and makes noise as if it where to pop open

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving approximately 30-35 MPH, the vehicle made clicking and rattling sounds. Additionally, the vehicle was shaking. The vehicle was taken to three independent mechanics and diagnosed with transfer case assembly - Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) failure. The transfer case assembly - Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was towed to a dealer. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that the vehicle was out of warranty. The manufacturer had the vehicle towed to the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 46,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSFER CASE HAD METAL FRAGMENTS IN IT.

My driver's side air bag warning light came on yesterday (Jan 5th, 2021). To be specific, it flashes on and off constantly while the engine is running. The dealer 'reset' the light and it stopped flashing. But after driving the car for about an hour, the flashing light has returned and will not stop. The dealer informs me that I will need to replace 2 parts (a cable and a control unit I believe). Total parts and labor will be $2200 dollars plus tax. Isn't an airbag something that should last for the life of the car? My car has 127,000 miles on it and I have owned it since 2018. To my knowledge, it has never been in an accident.

While driving on the highway the car the vehicle shudders/vibrates and the stops accelerating even when the throttle is pressed to the floor. Example: If I am driving at 80 miles an hour with my foot on the throttle, the vehicle will begin to decline in speed (dropping to 70 or 60 miles an hour) and will not accelerate any faster once additional pressure is placed on the throttle. After thorough review, it was found that this is a common issue with the 2013 Nissan Rogues. According to Vehiclehistory.com, Nissan extended the 2013 Nissan Rogue transmission warranty to 10 years and 120,000 miles for the continuously variable transmission (CVT) in the 2013 Rogue. This site, (Nhtsa.gov) also has multiple complaints regarding the Power Train on the 2013 Rogues listing the same issues. Upon contacting the Regal Nissan Dealership located at 1090 Holcomb Bridge Road, Roswell, GA 30076, I was informed that there is nothing they could do as a formal recall had not been issued for my specific VIN number. I am currently submitting a claim to the BBB National Programs as well.

Transmission stopped working suddenly after pulling onto busy road and I was forced to pull over to shoulder to avoid being hit by other cars
