“I was driving for about 40 minutes uphill on a freeway when my 2013 Nissan Rogue started to lose speed. First I couldn't accelerate more than 60mph, then 45mph. I had to be towed home and was told I need a new transmission. After reading so many similar complaints, I am convinced this should be investigated and recalled.”
NHTSA complaint #11130233, filed 2018-09, 93,000 miles“The vehicle idles and vibrates constantly when the gas pedal is used. My wheel may not vibrate 10 minutes out of a half hour drive. It either barely will take off from start or it completely floors it and excels. Feels like a diesel rugged vehicle and not a smooth normal ride like any car or SUV should ride. I complained the day it was purchased and have hated it ever since.”
