| Description of the problem | Going down the interstate at cruising speed with speed control set i noticed that the when climbing a hill we were losing excessive speed and the engine speed would not increase. I disengaged the speed control and manually tried to accelerate and the engine would not increase over 2500 rpms. I immediately tried to exit up an off ramp and could not climb the ramp faster than 10mph. We allowed the rogue to sit for 10 min.'s thinking that is was overheating. When we resumed the trip the rogue was acting normal again. Until the return trip when the same thing happened. Since then it has happened several times. I took it back to the dealership where they told me that there was a service bulletin concerning this issue, but the 2011 model was not covered. In my opinion any system that disengages the acceleration system while traveling the interstate is a major safety concern. Having driven and worked on cars all my life, i have never had one that scared me like this. It is not a comfortable feeling looking in the mirror to see a semi gaining on you and there is basically nothing you can do to get out of the way. |
