2012 Nissan Rogue: adaptive cruise control problems

Filed Jul 2, 2018 · Transmission · 73,000 miles · WY

While driving 80 miles per hour on a wyoming interstate, my 2012 nissan rogue shut off the cruise control and would not accelerate even while pushing the gas pedal to the floor. The car would only accelerate to 65 MPH and would not reset to normal speeds or acceleration patterns until I pulled off the side of the road and let it cool down for 15-30 minutes. The nissan dealerships in fort collins, colorado and billings, montana said this issue arose in several nissan rogues of different years. Nissan fixed 2010 and earlier models on their dime, but have not paid for replacing the transmission coolers with larger coolers for the 2011 or later models. There has not been a recall for the transmission coolers in 2012 nissan rogues up to this point.

I've had problems with acceleration of car twice on the highway. Car feels and sounds like it is stuck in one gear. I couldn't drive faster than 75 MPH. Car started to slow down even with my foot on the gas pedal. Speed dropped from 75 to 65, from 65 to 60, from 60 to 55, from 55 to 49, from 49 to 45, from 45 to 30, from 30 to 10 MPH. All of this happened within 2 miles of the nearest exit. I tried using cruise control to maintain speed at 65 MPH, but it didn't work. Car towed by aaa on 9/10/17.

I have only had my used. Nissan rogue for about a year and a half. I always keep up with the maintenance. I first noticed the problem as I was driving from dallas, tx up to oklahoma city, ok. About one hour into the drive up to oklahoma, the speed began to drop without any notice, and for no apparent reason. The vihechle was not over heating, and I had originally set the cruise control at about 70 MPH. As cars were passing by, it slowly began to decrease it's acceleration. No matter how much I stepped on the gas it would not go up in speed. I was not even going up hill at this point. The speed limit must have been at about 70 MPH and my rogue's speed kept decreasing and other cars, and 18-wheelers kept passing us. To the point where it was only going 35 MPH. I had to stop and pull over for about 20 minutes and then it began working normal. I first thought it may have been a one time thing. Now after a few trips it has became a real problem. I am going to have it checked out by nissan. Today on my way to work (about a 40 min. Drive from home) as I got off the freeway I came to a full stop at a red light, once the light turned green my car was still on but it would not accelerate at all for at least 20 seconds. I had to turn my emergency lights on to let the cars behind me pass me. When I first purchased my used rogue I made a drive from dallas tx, to new orleans, la. And I had no problems. Not even a year later I have problems with acceleration, and just two days ago I heard aa strange rattling noise. I finally have some time off tomorrow and I am going to get some answers and solve this problem. Nissan needs to get this fixed, this is an extremely dangerous problem!

Driving at 70 MPH going uphill the car, with no warning or indication, slowed down to 25 MPH. Press the pedal fully would not make the car go any faster. It was in the summer so it was very hot in california. When you on the freeway with two babies the last thing you want is your car slowing down to 25 MPH. This is extremely dangerous. Took it to the dealer and they said it needs a transmission cooler. It tool 3 months for them to get the part. They installed it in the winter and of course it is not hot anymore. This summer we drove out to arizona during a record high heat wave and once again this time driving 75 MPH with the cruise control on, it disengaged and I pressed the accelerator down and the car slow to 60mph on flat ground. Then on a slight incline the vehicle slowed down to 45mph in a 70mph zone. Out in the middle of the desert with my family. This is unacceptable for a car that was supposedly fixed. Took it to the dealership and they said the transmission needs to be replaced. So I called nissan and they said sorry we cannot help you. They do not even own up to a manufacturer defect. Do not buy this car! Nissan rogue 2012 test drive them in the hottest part of the summer and I would recommend to drive it uphill during this time.
