2008 Nissan Rogue: adaptive cruise control problems

Filed Aug 9, 2022 · Airbags, Body · IL

1.Frame bracket has rusted out and dealer only sells whole frame. VERY EXPENSIVE *It is obviously an issue which has not been addressed but has been *noted on internet. (went after market to repair still at $775!) 2. Airbags system light now on and was on recall in the past. Dealer will only look at it for $100. * Noted on internet as a continuous issue for some. 3. Cruise Control on past recall. Has not functioned since dealer fixed in recall. *Still turns on by itself and will not go off unless I turn vehicle off. **Definite safety issue** 4. Parking brake not functioning properly was also on recall. If I use it then it will not release all the way and continues to drag. USELESS. Have had repaired 2 times by mechanic since recall. 5. Transmission replaced on SILENT recall with extended warranty. Had issues from almost the start. WHY would I purchase another Nissan of any type? Vehicle 2008 Nissan Rogue is 13 1/2 years old with only 76,000 miles. No way should it have these issues. It has never been in an accident! I love the vehicle but not these issues. I will be replacing this vehicle in the future with a competitor.

The vehicle stopped honking while in motion, and when taken to a service center, we were advised that the coil that controls the electric panel stopped working. At the moment, the vehicle does not honk, cruise control does not work, and the electric dashboard turns on and off randomly while in movement. Recall number 09v‑411

Car will loose acceleration when driving on a flat highway for no known reason, it will go from 70 MPH to 30 pmh and struggle to move. Pressing acceslerator is like stepping on air. Going up a slight incline car will loose acceleration, after 20-30 miles driven will loose acceleration, at stop signs, red lights will loose acceleration when going from brakes to acceleration nothing will happen car will not move. Car has been driven less than 5k miles since purchased used from dealership. Also cannot use overdrive mode, engine noise is very loud and grinding rough sounds are heard .if using cruise control acceleration issues plus engine sound will both turn up at same time. This is both highway driving, city street driving and always when car is in motion.

After 5 hours of operation, while climing upgrade near charlotte nc, vehicle slipped out of gear and lost power. This repeated over a series of inclines for the next 50 miles and nearly resulted in several rear end accidents. During these incidents,the vehicle both lost power and the cruise control unexpectedly shut off. Local nissan dealer confirmed it was due to a known heat issue with CVT transmissions, and an advisory was out to inspect and advise when reported. Nissan instructed an additional cooling appliance be added to keep the fluid cool so operation was normal. Issue is this should be a recall based on assumption that any vehicle will drive at highway speeds for several hours and eventually have to encounter relativly easy upgrades on our highways. Transmission failure under these circumstances is inevitable, and so will be potentially fatal or at least injury inducing incidents.

I first experienced a loss of power in my vehicle while stopped at a red light. When the light turned green I started to go, even with the gas pedal pushed all the way to the floor the car would barely move. The engine would rev, but the car barely had any power. I drove it straight to the dealership where I bought it (hayes chrysler in gainesville) the stated it was they though the transmission needed to be replaced and sent it to the carriage nissan garage. After having it there for a few days the technician said he could not duplicate the problem! I left and before I could even get 15 miles down the road I was going approximately 60mph, when all the sudden I started losing speed. Regardless of the fact that I had the gas pedal too the floor! I turned around and took it straight to nissan, however in the last 10 minutes of my drive to the service shop the problem stopped! They kept it for another day and still could not duplicate the problem and they stated that it was most likely the ABS senor that needed to be replaced. We replaced the sensor and I thought all the problems had been solved! Wrong!!!! There have been 3 instances were I have had the cruise control set while driving down the interstate, and all of the sudden I start losing speed! There have been 4 instances where I have almost been t-bones with my 2 small children in the car because the car has lost acceleration in the middle of an intersection!!! The morning I took my car to the shop this time (8-25-14) I was almost hit by a semi when my car couldn't get through the green light before it turned red. I have read hundreds of complaints, and fights for a recall on this transmission! My nissan tech states that if there is no code thrown during the incident then they cannot replace the transmission, yet every case I've read say that no code has shown up at all! This is a danger to owners of this vehicle.

I own a 2008 nissan rogue that has had ongoing problems with the CVT. When I first experienced the problem, nissan did not even know/acknowledge there was an issue. When traveling during the summer on the highway at high speeds (70-80 MPH) I would randomly lose power to the vehicle. For instance, if I was driving with the cruise control on, it would shut off and gradually start to decelerate. Stepping on the gas did nothing. In some cases, I would be driving down the highway only able to go about 25 MPH. Additionally, when coming to a complete stop, for example when exiting the highway and waiting at a light, the car is very slow to respond to start moving again. After taking my car to three different dealerships, nissan finally began to acknowledge there was an system issue (not after making me spend $400+ for a transmission flush). They said that the combination of elevation, heat and high speeds was causing the transmission to overheat and go into "fail safe" mode. Finally last summer (july 2012) nissan replaced the transmission in the vehicle. Now, one year later and only 20,000 miles on the new transmission, I am having the same issues. Most bothersome, however was the last few times this has happened, it was not hot and I was not driving in the mountains. After 30 minutes of driving about 82 MPH with 65 degree weather, I lost all power to the vehicle. I had to merge with traffic that was moving at least 70 MPH and I was only able to move at 40 MPH. Nissan has said that they are aware of the continued issue, but because the CVT is technically performing as it should, they will not cover it under warranty. They said they are developing a coolant, but is this a real solution? Bottom line, this is not a safe, reliable vehicle. Every time I get in my car, I wonder if I will be able to get where I need to go in a timely and safe fashion.

This is one of several similar incidents. I was on a road trip to nyc, driving on the highway with the cruise control on at 73 MPH. In all incidents, I noticed that after having the cruise on for over an hour, all of a sudden the cruise would just "kick off". It would stop working. And my car would start to decelerate. Being on a main highway, traveling 73 MPH with everyone around me going equally as fast, if not faster, and then all of a sudden decelerating was like putting on the brakes with no brake lights. It was positively dangerous and scary. To make matters worse, after it got down to between 60 and 65, it would not accelerate. I put my foot to the floor and there was no acceleration. I got into the right hand lane as quickly as I could, and prayed the entire time to not be killed. After about 5 minutes, I was able to accelerate up to 70. But the cruise would just kick off as soon as I set it again. Maddening, dangerous and scary. And it happened more than once. Exactly the same way each time. And only after being in the car with cruise on for over an hour.
