2018 Nissan Rogue acceleration problems

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Car drives sluggish then takes off rides fine for awhile then problem repeats

NHTSA complaint #11740278 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Issues accelerating from a complete stop. Happens sporadically, unable to replicate for mechanic, and no codes or warning lights. Has become a safety issue when needing to cross left at any intersection. Doesn’t not accelerate fast enough to safely cross even after flooring the pedal for multiple seconds and no warning when this issue will occur so car gets stuck trying to accelerate in the intersection with oncoming traffic, near collisions on passenger side from oncoming traffic on a route taken multiple times a day as there are NO warnings prior to failure. Get stuck accelerating into intersection and can’t stop because cars behind me accelerate at a normal speed. Vehicle has been to repair shop.

The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH on the highway, the vehicle suddenly decelerated to 40 MPH. The contact stated that the vehicle was jumping while accelerating. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact pulled over safely and restarted the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to three independent mechanics who determined that there was a malfunction error and CVT judder. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 141,832.

The car has never been in an accident or flooded. Mechanics have been unable to computer diagnose the problem. Warning lights depend on what is happening at the time. However the rear camera light remains on as that feature ceased to function within days of the warranty expiring. Vehicle has begun to intermittently shake violently.Other times the RPM’s are highly erratic, revving up and slowing down or bouncing like crazy. Car sometimes looses power and acts like it is going to stall. Driving on the bridges in Charleston, especially the tallest, the car operates dangerously and unpredictably. The car cannot manage the incline without stuttering or stalling and loosing power. Again, this is not an all the time issue, but an unpredictable occurrence. The RPM gauge will hit 3-4 but the car cannot go over 20-40mph with RPM’s tacking & check engine light comes on. Stalls happen without warning and while operating at normal rates of speed. Meaning it is not a stop & start issue alone. It may happen at 70 mph on the freeway. You never know. On one occasion the push to start feature failed for hours leaving me stranded. The rear back up camera light is on and the feature no longer works. This is dangerous, not an occurrence that is exclusive to me - according to the dealership it is “A complete head scratcher. We keep seeing it. Hearing the same stories but Nissan is non-responsive to the volume of complaints on this issue.” They went on to explain that this will stress the engine and transmission and cause damage to other parts of the car. So they are aware but don’t care? That’s the translation. Moreover, Nissan is aware that this problem has a domino affect that becomes incredibly costly to their customers and that “you can fix one issue and more often than not, another occurs because of the preceding damage.” The transmission failures know to Nissan and known in the industry are life threatening.

Sudden loos of power while accelerating the vehicle.

When diving and accelerating the speed stays between 25-40 miles and will not go over 40. It seems like I have cruise control on but I don't. I have to pull over and turn the vehicle off. When I start it again it works fine. It has happened at least 10 times already. Also, when I accelerate from a stop sign the vehicle hesitates to respond, several seconds later the vehicle was fine. Turning the vehicle on/off seems to fix the problem. I'm scared to drive on the freeway. Please fix this issue.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED MY 2018 NISSAN ROGUE IN AUGUST OF 2020 AND AS OF MARCH 2021, I'VE HAD 5 INSTANCES WHERE THE FRONT RADAR SYSTEM FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE MALFUNCTIONED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE FRONT RADAR SENSOR IS PART OF THE INTELLIGENT FORWARD WARNING SYSTEM IN NISSANS AND ITS JOB IS TO DETECT THE DISTANCE BETWEEN VEHICLES. THE SENSOR IS TIED TO THE CRUISE CONTROL AND EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM. THE FAULT CONSISTS OF A FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION WARNING LIGHT MALFUNCTION ILLUMINATING LEADING TO THE DISENGAGEMENT OF THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE (IF ENGAGED PRIOR TO THE MALFUNCTION) OR THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM BECOMING DISABLED. ALSO, WHEN THE FAULT APPEARS, THE BRAKES ARE ABRUPTLY APPLIED BEFORE BEING RELEASED WHICH IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER AS YOUR RELYING ON THE INTEGRITY OF YOUR BRAKING SYSTEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY MENTIONED THAT THERE WERE NO CURRENT RECALLS IN PLACE FOR THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE AND THAT THE SYSTEM WOULD NEED TO BE UPDATED WITH THE LATEST SOFTWARE UPDATE TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM IS CORRECTED. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY APPROXIMATELY $150 TO INSTALL THE UPDATE TO THE SYSTEM, WHICH TO ME SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE COMPANY DUE TO IMPLIED SAFETY ISSUES. I WAS SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT A RECALL WAS NOT IN PLACE FOR THIS SYSTEM, CONSIDERING THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE SINCE 2014 AND YET THE NISSAN COMPANY HAS YET TO ISSUE ANY TYPE OF SAFETY RECALL FOR THE ROGUE MODELS, HENCE MY SAFETY COMPLAINT. I FEAR THAT IF THIS PROBLEM ISN'T CORRECTED SOON AN UNSUSPECTING DRIVER COULD GET HURT!

THE DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL WILL ACCELERATE WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE STARTS TO ENTER THE LANE IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. IT WILL EVENTUALLY FULLY DETECT THE VEHICLE AND DECELERATE, BUT I USUALLY HAVE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO PREVENT FROM GETTING TOO CLOSE TO THE RECENTLY MERGED CAR.

OUR 2018 NISSAN ROGUE AEB SYSTEM IS FALSE BRAKING WHEN IT SHOULDN'T. THE AEB FALSE BRAKING HAS ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS IF WE DIDN'T OVER POWER THE BRAKE SYSTEM OR TURN IT OFF QUICKLY. ALSO THE AEB SYSTEM TURNS ITSELF OFF WHILE THE CAR IS ON CRUISE CONTROL AT FREEWAY SPEEDS IN RAIN, BRIGHT SUNLIGHT, OR BUMPY ROAD CONDITIONS. THIS ALSO HAS ALMOST CAUSED OUR CAR TO BE REAR ENDED BY ITS ABRUPT SLOWING DOWN. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE ONE YEAR WE HAVE OWNED THIS CAR.

BOUGHT THIS CAR BE WITH 42 MILES ON IT. ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT THE AEB SYSTEM STARTED ACTIVATING AND SLAMMING THE BRAKES WHEN NOTHING WAS IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD NEVER HAD A CAR WITH THIS FEATURE BEFORE. I LATER GOT A NOTICE TO BRING IT IN TO A DEAL FOR AN UPDATE BEFORE THE WARRANTY WENT OUT. THE CAR IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND HAS BEGUN DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING 65 ON THE INTERSTATE WITH NO TRAFFIC OR OBSTACLES IN FRONT OF ME. THE WARNING SYSTEM WENT OFF THEN IMMEDIATELY ACTIVATES THE BRAKES SLOWING ME DOWN TO 40 MILES AN HOUR. THANKFULLY THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS ABLE TO REACT IN TIME TO SWERVE AND MISS ME. I GOT TJE ONE FINGER SALUTE FROM THE DRIVER OF THAT VEHICLE. IT IS NOW HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. I WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ANOTHER UPDATE. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THAT RIGHT NOW. ANYWAY THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED WHEN THEY DID THE FIRST UPDATE ON THE AEB SOFTWARE. PURCHASES FROM BENTON NISSAN IN BESSEMER, AL BUT HAVE HAD ALL SERVICE PERFORMED BY SIERRA NISSAN OF SYLACAUGA,AL. BUT I HAVE QUIT UTILIZING SERRA NISSA SINCE THEY PUT THE WRONG TYPE OF OIL IN MY CAR AND REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THEY ADMITTED TO THE MISTAKE ALSO IT WAS PRINTED THE SERVIVE RECEIPT AS PROOF THAT THEY OIL THEY USES WAS INCORRECT.

THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM HAS MALFUNCTION MANY TIMES - AT LEAST 10 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP BEING JANUARY 2018 THROUGH NOVEMBER 2019. THE MOST RECENT SPECIFIC INCIDENT OCCURRED ON NOVEMBER 22, 2019 AT 12:20PM IN CLEAR DAYLIGHT WHILE DRIVING ON PAVED ROAD, CITY STREET, NOT TURNING. THE RATE OF SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 15MPH AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO IMMEDIATELY STOP. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING DUE TO THE HIGH POSSIBILITY OF SERIOUS INJURY IF THE MALFUNCTION WERE TO OCCUR AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED.

WHILE DRIVING ON A SUNNY DAY ON A CITY STREET MY CAR SUDDENLY SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES WHILE DRIVING UNDER A HIGHWAY OVERPASS. IT DID THIS ON IT'S OWN IN CLEAR WEATHER WHILE IN MOTION. IT APPEARED THE CAR REACTED ON IT'S OWN TO THE SHADOW OF THE HIGHWAY I WAS ABOUT TO DRIVE UNDER. THERE WAS NO CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND I IN FACT WAS ABOUT TO ACCELERATE TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AFTER GOING UNDER THE OVERPASS. THE CAR BRAKES SUDDENLY WHEN GOING INTO THE SHADOW OF THE OVERPASS. IT STARTLED ME AND MY AUTOMATIC REACTION WAS TO SWITCH MY FOOT TO THE BRAKE AND WHEN I DID I COULD FEEL THE BRAKE WAS ALREADY DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR BRIEFLY STOPPED AND THEN THE BRAKE LET UP AND I THEN COULD CONTINUE DRIVING A COUPLE SECONDS LATER. IT WAS SCARY AND DANGEROUS. SOMEONE COULD'VE BEEN BEHIND ME AND HIT ME. I WAS RATTLED FOR 30 MINUTES AFTERWARD. I AM UNSURE OF THE EXACT DATE THIS OCCURRED BUT I GAVE THE BEST ESTIMATE I COULD DOWN BELOW.
