2013 Nissan Rogue Fuel System Problems

Your CVT transmission overheats in warm weather, causing you to lose power and the ability to accelerate or reverse. You have to push the car, wait 10 minutes, and perform a manual reset procedure (turning the ignition on/off while shifting through gears) to temporarily restore function. The dealer suggests installing a transmission cooler, but this recurring issue affects multiple owners and requires repeated resets to drive.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle went into LIMP Mode and the vehicle decelerated independently. During the failure, the check engine and traction control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the throttle body wiring harness was faulty and needed to be replaced. The throttle body wiring harness was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 89,000.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN EVEN THOUGH I WAS PRESSING ON THE GAS. THIS HAPPENED A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR INTO DRIVING. I PULLED OFF AND AFTER A LITTLE WHILE STARTED DRIVING AGAIN AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. ON A SECOND OCCASION AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR AGAIN I PULLED OFF TO GET GAS AND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PRESS MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. PICKED MY FOOT UP AND PRESS DOWN AGAIN WITH NO MOVEMENT AT FIRST BUT THEN THE CAR STARTED ROLLING VERY VERY SLOWLY. IT FINALLY PICKED UP ENOUGH SPEED TO GET ME OUT OF THE INTERSECTION AND TO THE GAS STATION. MY DESTIINATION WAS ABOUT 45 MINUTES AWAY AND I DID MAKE IT THERE WITHOUT ANY OTHER INCIDENTS. MY HUSBAND WAS ALSO DRIVING THE CAR ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE THIS AND AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, HE PRESSED ON THE GAS BUT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE AT FIRST. MOVED VERY SLOWLY INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND LUCKILY HE WAS ABLE TO BACK IT UP BEFORE BEING HIT. WHEN THIS OCCURS, NO WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. WE JUST HAVE TOTAL LOSS OF ACCELERATION.

DRIVING UPHILL IN INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 70 MPH WHEN VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING 1 MILE OUTSIDE COLUMBIA SC. I WAS DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO BEING RUN OFF HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN RIGHT LANE AND ABLE TO ACCESS EMERGENCY SHOULDER OF ROAD.

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT READ CORRECTLY.

DRIVING MY ROGUE AT 45MPH ON 10/13/2017. DECELERATED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. THEN ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AFTER THE TURN. THE ROGUE JERKED AND DECELERATED AND TURNED OFF. I STEERED THE CAR TO THE SOFT SHOULDER. ATTEMPTED TO START ROGUE. STARTED BUT THEN STALLED. IT EVENTUALLY STARTED AFTER SITTING BY ROAD FOR 5 MINUTES. NO PROBLEMS WITH ROGUE UNTIL 10/20/2017. WAS DRIVING AT 55 MPH WITH A SEMI BEHIND ME ON 2 LANE HIGHWAY. THE ROGUE STARTS TO DECELERATE AND JERKING. I PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN ENOUGH TIME NOT TO BE HIT BY THE SEMI. ROGUE TOTALLY STOPPED WORKING. I GOT IT RESTARTED AND DROVE HOME AT 40 MPH. CALLED AND GOT A REPAIR APPOINTMENT ON 10/24/17. IT WAS A MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR THAT WAS BROKEN.

WHILE ON MY WAY BACK TO LOUISIANA FROM MY VACATION IN FLORIDA DRIVING WEST BOUND ON INTERSTATE 10. MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER GOING UP AN INCLINE ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUED DOWN THE DECLINE. I PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE TO A GAS STATION AND CHECKED MY VEHICLE FOR LEAKAGE AND FOUND NONE. I CHECKED ALL FLUID LEVELS THE WAY THE MANUFACTURER INSTRUCTS YOU TO AND ALL LEVELS WERE IN OPERATING RANGE. I RETURNED TO THE INTERSTATE AND THE SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS BOXED IN BY 18 WHEELERS AND ALMOST GOT IN AN ACCIDENT TRYING TO EXIT THE INTERSTATE. I STARTED CHECKING INTERNET TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND FOUND OUT I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO IS HAVING THESE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR NISSAN. HONESTLY THIS HAD TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AT [XXX] WITH ANY MORE QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE DATE AND SPEED ENTERED ARE AVERAGES, BECAUSE OF MULTIPLE EVENTS AT VARIOUS TIMES AND CIRCUMSTANCES. I SELDOM KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE BECAUSE THE GAUGE GOES UP AND DOWN WITHOUT EXPLANATION. SINCE I DON'T DRIVE A LOT I CAN JUST KEEP TRACK OF THE AMOUNT I PUT IN THE TANK AND FILL UP WHEN I THINK I SHOULD. TODAY AS AN EXAMPLE, MY GAUGE SHOWED 1/2 TANK. I SAT IN A PARKING LOT WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING WHILE WAITING FOR A FRIEND TO FINISH AN ERRAND. DURING THAT 10 MINUTES, THE GAS GAUGE WENT UP BY ABOUT 1/8 OF A TANK. THIS WAS SITTING ON LEVEL GROUND IN A PLAZA PARKING LOT, SO NO SLANT TO THE TANK TO GIVE A FALSE READING. SO FAR I HAVE HAD NO SERIOUS ISSUES, BUT DUE TO THE FACT THAT I AM ON OXYGEN, I COULD BE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE IF I HAD TO WAIT A LONG TIME FOR HELP. *TR

THE FUEL GUAGE IS JUMPING AROUND. I HAVE READ DOZENS AND DOZENS OF ISSUES WITH THIS SAME THING WITHOUT ANY REAL RESOLUTION. *TR

THE GAS FILL LINE IN THE RIGHT WHEEL WELL IS NOT COVERED COMPLETELY FROM ROCKS THROWN UP BY TIRE THE CAR SHOULD COME FROM THE FACTORY ALL COVERED. *TR
