2008 Nissan Rogue Speed Control & Cruise Problems

AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE RPM WILL SKYROCKET AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD. WE HAVE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE IT DRIVES NORMALLY AGAIN. LATELY THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BUCKING WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE.

After driving roughly two hours on highway in stop and go rush hour traffic, our 2008 Nissan Rogue lost its ability to accelerate and the RPM would go only slightly above 2000. There were no dashboard warning lights. We pulled over at a rest stop and turned off the engine for ten minutes but the problem persisted. We had to get off the freeway and take back roads out of concern for our safety. We reached our destination, the then car sat for several hours and behaved normally for about an hour on the way back, but then the problem recurred. We only drove short distances for the next month, but on our next long drive the same thing happened again. Our mechanic found no engine codes and does not know what is causing the problem. This all happened only about 3000 miles after we had a new OEM transmission installed. For over two months, we have been unable to take any long trips with this car out of concern for both our ability to complete the trip and for our safety as well as the safety of others.

I have a 2008 Nissan rogue The cruise control light keeps blinking can't find the issue tire pressure light stays on. My driver side door handle will not open the door. Other than that my car runs fine

Sudden loss of power after driving on highway for a few hours. Car does not go above 2500 RPM or 50MPH. Shutting car off for a few minutes fixes the problem until it happens again a few hours pater.

TODAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING A STEADY SPEED OF ABOUT 70 MPH FOR ABOUT 30-40 CONSECUTIVE MINUTES. MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE SL BEGAN TO DECELERATE SLOWLY. I BEGAN TO PRESS GRADUALLY ON THE GAS PEDAL. AS I DID THIS, THE CAR MADE A WEIRD SOUND AS IF IT WAS TRYING TO SHUT OFF. AT THIS POINT MY FOOT WAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CARS RPM WAS GOING AS HIGH AS 4000 BUT THE CAR ITSELF WAS NOT ACCELERATING OVER 50 MPH. ALL OF THIS HAPPENING WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 6:30 PM. I COULD HAVE EASILY GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPEN EITHER. A FEW TIMES I HAVE BEEN AT A COMPLETE STOP AT A RED LIGHT OR COMING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY RAMP AND THE CAR WILL TAKE 10-15 SECONDS TO ACCELERATE AND TAKE OFF! THIS IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS BUT CAN ALSO BE QUITE ANNOYING FOR THE CAR BEHIND ME. ALL THIS HAPPENING WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS ON MY DASH, I HAVE GOTTEN THE CAR CHECKED OUT BUT TO NO AVAIL NO CODES ARE COMING UP AND MY CAR SEEMS TO BE FINE. I HONESTLY BELIEVE THIS IS A GLITCH IN THE SOFTWARE OR SYSTEM. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ON MULITPLE DIFFERENT FORUMS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE ON THE SAME MAKE, YEAR AND MODEL! I HONESTLY BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND HOPE THAT ONE OF YOUR TECHNICIANS SERIOUSLY LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT!

I AM HAVING CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES. IT STOPS ACCELERATING WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND I'M NOT ABLE TO GO FASTER THAT 60 MPH. WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE THE RPM METER GOES UP, WHICH ISN'T GOOD. I AM NO LONGER WITHIN 10 YEAR FRAME OF NISSAN'S EXTENDED WARRANTY SO I HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR A TRANSMISSION THAT NISSAN KNOWS ISN'T RELIABLE AND WILL FAIL AGAIN. I'M HOPING THAT A RECALL COMES FROM THEM INSTEAD OF AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT LEAVES A LOT OF CONSUMERS OUT IN THE COLD. I'M GLAD THIS HAPPENED TO ME CAUSE I KNOW, NEVER, TO BUY A NISSAN VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON RANDOMLY. ENGINE SOUNDS STRESSED WHEN DRIVING.

'TAKATA RECALL' AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM OF A RUN AWAY WHEN ENGAGING THE CRUISE CONTROL AROUND 70MPH ON HIGHWAY

NISSAN ROGUE ACCELERATION THE CAR WILL SPORADICALLY STOP ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY. SOMETIMES FROM A STANDSTILL THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE QUICKLY. RPMS ARE WILL STILL GO UP BUT SPEED WILL NOT.

WHILE DRIVING AT VARIED SPEED THE ROGUE WILL REFUSE TO ACCELERATE AND THE RPMS WILL RISE, BUT THE CAR WILL NOT GO NO MATTER HOW FAR YOU PRESS THE ACCELERATOR DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED COUNTLESS TIMES AND WHEN I RESEARCH ONLINE IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON AND KNOWN ISSUES WITH ROGUES OF THIS YEAR. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR COLLISIONS DUE TO THIS ISSUES.

DURING PROLONG PERIODS OF DRIVING (2-2.5 HOURS) AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF ACCELERATION WITHOUT WARNING. RPVS WILL NOT GO PAST 2500. SPEED WILL DROP TO 45-50 MPH. I'VE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED TWICE BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER (THE SPEED DROPS INSTANTLY). IT'S BEEN HAPPENING CONSTANTLY SINCE JUNE 2016. DRIVING SHORT DISTANCES WITHIN THE CITY IS NOT A PROBLEM, BUT CAN'T DRIVE SAFELY ON 75MPH HIGHWAYS WITHOUT LOSING POWER.

I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR A COUPLES OF YEARS NOW, MY ROGUE LOSSES POWER AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES OR MORE ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN THIS SITE AND ELSEWHERE OF WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCUR AND HOW IT'S SO HARD REPLICATE BECAUSE THERE'S NO ENGINE LIGHT. I'VE ALREADY REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION IN APRIL 2013 AND NOW MY ENGINE LIGHTS IS ON, TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY SAY IT'S MY TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY. I JUST HIT 126,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND OF COURSE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRES AT 120,000. NISSAN NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT (IF IT HASN'T HAPPEN ALREADY).

MY VEHICLE LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON WEDNESDAY. THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE A BIT AND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR, THE SPEED DECREASED TO ABOUT 30MPH AND THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE AN AIRPLANE TAKING OFF. THE CAR EVENTUALLY REGAINED ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE UNTIL I GOT OFF ON THE EXIT NEAR MY HOUSE AND THAT IS WHEN THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION AGAIN IN THE MIDST OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I'VE HAD THIS CAR AND EACH TIME I CALL THE DEALERSHIP THEY CLAIM TO NOT HAVE HEARD OF THIS EVER HAPPENING. IT EVEN HAPPENED ON A TRIP FROM TN TO SC. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE AND CONGESTED CITY STREETS. I AM NERVOUS ABOUT TAKING THE CAR ON TRIPS LONGER THAN 30-45 MINUTES LONG. THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WHERE THE TPMS LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR DAYS. WHEN I HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, I'M USUALLY TOLD THAT THE AIR PRESSURE IS GOOD AND THAT THE LIGHT IS JUST MALFUNCTIONING. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP DENIES HAVING KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ISSUE ALSO AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY A TON OF MONEY FOR THEM TO CHECK IT OUT. *TR

THE CAR WILL BE AT A COMPLETE STOP AND YOU WILL PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AND IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE, YOU CAN FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL, AND IT WILL HAVE VERY LITTLE REACTION. IN ADDITION, WHEN THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING ALL YOUR LIGHTS STOP WORKING SO THE PERSON BEHIND YOU DOES NOT KNOW YOU ARE NOT AT A COMPLETE STOP. THIS IS NOT A CONSISTENT PROBLEM BUT YOU NEVER NOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN - IT'S LIKE THE CAR GOES INTO THIS AMNESIA STAGE. *TR

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. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND FELT AS IF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS APPLIED. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED IN HIGH GEAR. THE HESITATION RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY FOR OVER TWO MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

NISSAN ROGUE 2008 WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY INCLINE. VEHICLE TOPPED OUT AT 45 MPH IN 65 ZONE. UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, VEHICLES HONKED AND PASSED BY. THIS CONTINUED UNTIL TOP OF INCLINE, THEN VEHICLE RESUMED ACCELERATION. TOOK TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO LEARN THAT NISSAN OFFERS EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR CVT TRANSMISSION AND THAT THIS ISSUE QUALIFIED FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. DEALER ORDERED TRANSMISSION COOLER KIT ON 3/3/2014. DEALER HAS SINCE INFORMED ME THAT PART REQUEST IS RESTRICTED AND CAN GIVE NO TIMEFRAME OF REPLACEMENT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 2 WEEKS ( NOW 3/19). NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ALSO UNABLE TO EXPEDITE PART. ACCELERATION ISSUE HAS HAPPENED 2 ADDITIONAL TIMES WITHIN LAST TWO WEEKS, AGAIN ON THE FREEWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF 65 MPH TRAFFIC. NISSAN HAS INDICATED THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE REPLACEMENT VEHICLE WHILE AWAITING PART. I EXPRESSED CONCERNS THAT THIS IS A VEHICLE SAFETY ISSUE IN WHICH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AGAIN WAS UNABLE TO COMMIT TO PROVIDING REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. CASE # [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WE WERE DRIVING BACK HOME WHEN MY HUSBAND NOTICED THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 65 MPH. THIS OCCURRED ABOUT HALFWAY HOME, SO ABOUT 200 MILES INTO OUR DRIVE BACK HOME (OF THE 350 MILE TOTAL). THE CAR WAS NOT OVERHEATED, NOR WAS IT MAKING NOISE. HE WOULD PUT HIS FOOT DOWN ALL THE WAY ON THE ACCELERATOR, AS IF HE WANTED TO GO FULL SPEED AND IT WOULD NOT RESPOND. THERE WEREN'T ANY WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE CONSOLE, AND IT WAS NOT OVERHEATED. WE IMMEDIATELY CALLED OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM WE WERE HAVING. THEY SAID WE COULD TAKE THE CAR INTO THEM, BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY $150 JUST FOR THE INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE, AND THEY CONFIRMED THERE WASN'T A RECALL SO WE WOULD ALSO HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL FOR THE REPAIRS. WE STOPPED TO EAT AND CALM OUR NERVES AND GOT BACK ON THE ROAD. WHEN WE GOT BACK IN THE CAR, THE PROBLEM DID NOT START UP AGAIN UNTIL A FEW MONTHS LATER, DURING OUR NEXT LONG DRIVE AWAY FROM HOME, AND HAVE AVOIDED TAKING IT ON LONG TRIPS SINCE THEN. THIS WAS MY FIRST AND LAST NISSAN. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET RID OF THE ROGUE! IT HAS PROVEN TO BE BUSY WITH ELECTRICAL ISSUES. *JS

THE CAR EXPERIENCED EXTREME DECELERATION ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE IN A MINIMUM 45 MILE PER HOUR HIGHWAY (IN PUERTO RICO) WHEN CAR DECELERATED AND WAS UNABLE TO GO MORE THAN 5 MILES PER HOUR AFTER DECELERATING FOR A TOLL. AS I CHANGED LANES TO GET TO THE SHOULDER, I ALMOST CAUSED WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL ACCIDENT OF MYSELF AND MY INFANT DAUGHTER. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ISLAND AND COULD NOT AFFORD A TOW TRUCK. I WAITED FOR TWO HOURS AND TRIED STARTING THE CAR AGAIN TO SEE IF I COULD CONTINUE. THE CAR SEEMED BACK TO NORMAL AND I MADE IT HOME. THE EXTREME ACCELERATION HAS HAPPENED TO ME 2 OTHER TIMES AND I CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE. I RECENTLY RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND THERE IS A WIDE ARRAY OF PEOPLE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES AND SIMILAR EXPERIENCES AND CLOSE CALLS WITH VEHICULAR ACCIDENTS. SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT, THE CAR NOW HAS 130K MILES AND DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I AM AN ACTIVE DUTY MEMBER STATIONED OVERSEAS IN PUERTO RICO AND DID NOT RECEIVE NOTIFICATION THAT A WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED. PLEASE HELP ME EFFECT A NISSAN RECALL IN CVT ENGINES IN THE SELECT MODELS MENTIONED IN THEIR CONSUMER AFFAIRS WEBSITE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

MY ROGUE IS HAVING INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT DOES IT WHEN IT SLOWS AND YOU TRY TO START GOING AGAIN AND IT DOES IT WHEN YOU STOP AFTER BEING ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRY TO START GOING AGAIN. IT DOES NOT DO IT EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY EITHER. I PUSHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. FREQUENTLY, IT WAS STUCK AT A THE SPEED IN WHICH THE CAR WAS IN BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY THERE WAS ALSO TROUBLE WITH ACCELERATING. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A STRANGE WHIRLY NOISE. THIS CONTINUED SPORADICALLY FOR SEVERAL MILES. *TR
