| On multiple occasions while driving on freeway or around town rogue would not accelerate properly from stop. pedal would be pressed down but car would barely inch forward. also, twice as i was just driving home from work this symptom started and the car just stopped running altogether. had the vehicle towed to my mechanic and he told me i had ran out of gas both times. i know the gage read 1/4 tank both times. the acceleration issues always seem to begin when the gas is getting below half empty. it seems to be the same fuel sender issue others have complained about, and maybe it also somehow affects how the transmission performs. either way my family and i have only owned this rogue for a year and it was supposed to be our newer reliable car. very unhappy. contacted the dealer but they would not even look at it before charging me and said they have never had any problems with their rogues. obviously they are turning a blind eye. *tr | |||

| This involves a nissan rogue s 2008 we purchased new from the dealer. at approximately 55,000 miles while on a trip to destin, fl our cvt transmission began to malfunction on the highway. it caused car to lose speed, no longer pull, idle erratically, and not be able to get up to speeds over 55 miles an hour. it would also not pull off from stops but rather just coast out into the middle of an intersection, leaving the driver without control of the vehicle to get out of the way of oncoming traffic. we were instructed by the nissan dealership to limp the car back to atlanta so they could replace the cvt transmission and stated they knew it was a known problem with those particular cvt's. once we got the car back, nissan explained that they had installed a newer model of cvt in our car and that it would not happen again. now, june 23, 2012, our car is back at the dealer with the same issue. the car now has 102,00 miles. this time we are on our way to chattanooga, tennessee when the cvt begins to act up. symptoms included loss of power, loss of speed and idle leaving us unable to switch lanes and get off highway due to lack of pull and power. the cars idle or rpm begins to jump erratically and redlining causing the car to lunge forward uncontrollably and then lose power back and forth. now imagine this all while your wife and three daughters (ages 9, 4, and 9 months) are in the back seat. virtually having no control over the car while other vehicles speed by at 70 mph trying to avoid smashing you to pieces. this time there is no limping it back to the dealership. barely able to make it off the highway, the cvt is severely damaged and inoperable. cvt fluid is draining rapidly out of several different locations. as well, the entire body of the car is coated in trans fluid and smoke billowing out of the hood due to the fluid coating the engine too. | |||

| Several times in the past few months, rogue will not accelerate when trying to go from stopped position. no power to go uphill or pull into traffic. this does not happen all the time, only occasionally, but is happening more often. yesterday, car did this while traveling at speed of 55+ mph. this was the first time it slowed while already at high speed. my daughter drives this vehicel and we are parking it for now as there have been several incidences where she has almost been hit by oncoming cars. | |||

| 3 times now my 2008 nissan rogue has had acceleration problems on the highway. it happened the 1st time on aug. 20, 2011 then again on sept. 5, 2011. both times i was driving on the highway, at 60-65mph when suddenly, the car would not go over 40mph even when the gas pedel was floored. i have read online many people are having this same issue with the cvt transmission. i feel this car is unsafe-as you can not move the car up to speed to get it out of the way of on coming traffic. i have an appointment with the nissan dealer on sept. 10-but they are telling me they have not heard of this problem. | |||
