There are 19 owner-reported speed control & cruise complaints for the 2017 Nissan Roguein NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
The contact owns 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle stalled and decelerated with the accelerator pedal being depressed. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or a dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000.
There is a severe acceleration issue happening with this vehicle. When ibling for to long or stop/go traffic, the acceleration of the vehicle disappears and seems to ride with little mobility. The rpms will sky rocket, yet the car will not move fast at all. It's gotten quite scary crossing two lanes of traffic from a stoplight. There is an attached doc from the manufacturer communications section stating just this issue on Jan 2018.
This has happened multiple times on Interstate 20. I will merge onto the interstate and my Rogue will lose power completely. I can have the gas pedal almost at the ground and there is no acceleration. The RPM will go up to 4 but literally no acceleration is happening. I can feel the car get to 60 and then it won’t go any faster. At times when idle at a red light or in a parking spot so many warning lights will come on about pedestrian crossing and some other odd ones. If I turn the car off for 30+ seconds the car resets back to normal until the next time it does it. I don’t know if these two issues are related but both are impacting the trust I have in this vehicle to get me where I need to go and arrive alive. I have cell records and photos from some of the times the lack of acceleration situation happened because I was so frightened I called my spouse or son to ask what was happening. The incidents on I20 my children were also in the car and could feel that we were not going fast enough to keep up with traffic and could no accelerate or increase speed with the gas pedal going down, down
My cars intake runner control valve needs to be replaced when I am driving my car will beep and say malfunctioning on the dash the power to my car lessons I can push the pedal of my car to the floor and only be going 30 to 40 miles an hour, I tried getting the part from a couple garage is it is on back order a long list of people are waiting for this part Nissan said they don't know when I will be able to get it when it will be back in stock this is a non-safe to be driving a car like this. I can be going down the road in my car will say malfunctioning.
While having my car on for an extended period of time, my car will randomly not accelerate when I push on the gas pedal. As soon as I turn the car off and turn it back on, my car will reset itself and will resume as normal, until it happens again sometimes just 30 minutes later. This issue has happened since I have purchased the car. This happens mostly when I am in stop and go traffic, when I need to accelerate at a stop light, or even just in a pick up line for my son’s school. I took my car into the Tim Dahle Nissan Dealership in South Jordan, UT and they claimed my transmission issue was not related to the issues mentioned in the complaints and that there are leaks causing it, however, everything lines up exactly with the issues as described and I have never heard of these leaks happening until the visit that I happened to ask for a warranty fix. The last time this complaint happened was back in 2021 where they updated the software on the transmission, they told me this would fix the issue and it did not resolve the issue at all, as if still continues to happen. I submitted a complaint to Nissan in February this year advising of the same issue happening and I received a letter in the mail stating that this was an issue that would be covered under the warranty. Please help me get this fixed!!!
But I am driving my car will not go it's normal speed I can hold the pedal to the floor and it slowly will gain speed 30 to 40 miles an hour when I stop at a red light my car will literally go 5 miles an hour With my pedal being all the way to the floor until I shut it off and turn the key back-and-forth five times The part that I need is on back order Nissan can't make them fast enough this is very unsafe to be driving like this my dash will say malfunction I really wish I could upload a video to show you
While I am driving my car will beep and say malfunctioning and drop the please power as I push on the peddle, and it's hard for me to gain more speed as the speed limit increases. If I am to slow down or stop at a red light then start to go again my car takes a few minutes to get to the speed limit it's like the car has bo power going it is. Today I pulled into fhe road after leaving a store and was only going 3 miles an hour my car did not want to go this is berry dangerous to be driving this way. The part is on back order and can't get it to fix the problem, my mechanic said if it's not fixed it could cause other problems like cause my Cadillac converter to go. This should be recalled if it's in such high demand and this should be on Nissan if I can't buy the part to fix my car it's verry unsafe and needs to be fixed
The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 60 MPH, the vehicle had unintendedly accelerated and then inadvertently decelerated. The vehicle was taken to three independent mechanics and diagnosed with mass air flow sensor failure. The mass air flow sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer. The dealer performed an oil change, a brake fluid change, and cleaned the throttle body. The dealer informed the contact to add a fuel injector cleaner to the vehicle twice a year. However, the failure recurred. The contact took the vehicle to Cherry Hill Nissan (2325 NJ-38, Cherry Hill, NJ 08002) and had another oil change and windshield wiper replacement. Cherry Hill Nissan informed the contact that the failure was related to a towel the contact had placed near the driver's side floor mat, which jammed the accelerator pedal. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
The vehicle does not shift gears when attempting to accelerate. The RPMs increase but the speed is sluggish to accelerate. The struggle of the engine is audible from inside the car like the sound of revving of an engine. No warning signs or messages have been associated with the problem. The problem does not happen every time the car is used but has occurred on several different occasions. The car is available for inspection upon request. This problem is dangerous to the driver, passengers, and other drivers on the road as well, because it disrupts the flow of traffic when attempting to merge onto the highway. Many people are forced to slam on their breaks to avoid rear ending the vehicle when it does not accelerate.
I LOOSE ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED.
OWN 2017 ROGUE. AFTER RECEIVING AN RECALL SOFTWARE UPDATE 5 HOURS LATER MY CAR EXPERIENCED THIS. HAD RIGHT FOOT ON BRAKE AND WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT WITHIN A PARKING GARAGE. CAR WAS MOVING BUT AT IDLE SPEED CAUSE I WAS 1/4 OF WAY INTO PARKING SPOT WHEN SUDDENLY I HEARD THE ENGINE REV AND CAR TOOK OFF STOPPING ONLY BY THE CEMENT WALL IN FRONT OF ME. HAD IT BEEN A RAILING ON THIS OUTSIDE WALL I WOULD HAVE GONE OVER 7 FLOORS DOWN. NO MATS IN CAR AND I WAS WEARING FLATS SO NISSAN CAN'T SAY THAT CAUSED THIS
THE CAR JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING
ON MARCH 16TH I HAD A ACCIDENT THAT WAS A RESULT OF A KNOWN ISSUE THAT NISSAN IS NOT ADDRESSING (MORE IF I AT WWW.NISSANPROBLEMS.COM/AEB ). BASICALLY, WHEN LEAVING A PARKING GARAGE MY CAR SUDDENLY MADE BEEP BEEP BEEP SOUNDS AND STOPPED ON ITS OWN AND THE CAR BEHIND ME HIT MY CAR. I HAVE ALREADY REACHED TO THE INSURANCE WHERE I WOULD JUST NEED TO PAY $500 DEDUCTIBLE FOR THE FIX HOWEVER THE FIX WOULD ONLY HANDLE THE BUMPER FIXING AND NOT THE FACT THAT THE CAR IS DEFECTIVE. I'D OBVIOUSLY DON'T WANT TO KEEP THIS CAR. IN THIS CASE I'D BE LOOKING FOR ASSISTANCE WITH NISSAN, WITH LEASE TERMINATION AND WITH BODY INJURIES. NISSAN REQUIRES THE CAR TO BE UNTOUCHED FOR THEIR 'INVESTIGATION' IN A CERTIFIED LOCATION (THEY CLAIM MY CURRENT SHOP IS NOT CERTIFIED EVEN THOUGH IT IS LISTED IN THEIR SITE IT IS) WHERE THE ENTIRE PROCESS WOULD TAKE BETWEEN 4-12 WEEKS. DURING THIS TIME THE CAR CAN'T BE TOUCHED AND OF COURSE NOT DRIVEN. NO RESOLUTION OFFERED TO MEANTIME TRANSPORTATION AND EXPENSE COVERAGE.
PULLED INTO PARKING STALL. WITH FOOT ON BRAKE, SHIFTED CAR TO PARK. ENGINE REV'ED AND CAR LURCHED FORWARD AT HIGH SPEED, JUMPED CURB AND CONCRETE WALL IN FRONT OF STALL. IMPACT FROM STOPPED CAR TO WALL IS LESS THEN 2 FT, BUT CAR IMPACTED WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO DAMAGE FRONT AND SIDE PANELS (SEE PHOTO).
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 2 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. THERE WAS NO CRASH INVOLVED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO M'LADY NISSAN LOCATED AT 5656 NORTHWEST HWY, CRYSTAL LAKE, IL 60014, (815) 459-2288 TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,700.
STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES WHEN ACCELERATING ALLWAYS.
FRONT EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED TO BRAKE THE CAR WHEN THERE WAS ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE CAR AND RESULTED IN A CRASH. MY CAR HIT ANOTHER CAR.
THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONED, I WAS DRIVING IN A GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT WITH A PERSONAL FRIEND AND SUDDENLY THE CAR'S EMERGENCY BRAKE PROTECTION ACTIVATED JOLTING THE CAR TO A STOP. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE WAS IN A PARKING DECK (DIFFERENT FROM THE FIRST LOCATION) AND THE CAR AGAIN ACTIVATED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PROTECTION SYSTEM JOLTING THE CAR TO A STOP. I THEN FELT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND BROUGHT THIS INTO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECKED THE CAR AND CALLED REPORTING THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND I SHOULD PICK IT UP. I PICKED THE CAR UP AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT UNTIL I SWITCHED CARS WITH A PERSONAL FRIEND WHO USED THE CAR TO DRIVE ONE MILE BACK TO HOME DOWN A 4 LANE ROAD. UPON COMING TO AN INTERSECTION, SHE REPORTS SHE BEGAN SLOWING DOWN AND GOT IN A TURN LANE TO MAKE A LEFT ONTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ROAD AND AS SHE WAS APPROACHING THE LIGHT, THE CAR ACTIVATED THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM, AGAIN JOLTING THE CAR TO A STOP. SHE STATES DURING AND AFTER THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, SHE KEPT HER FOOT ON THE BREAK THE ENTIRE TIME AND WHILE DECOMPRESSING THE BRAKE, THE CAR THEN JOLTED FORWARD CRASHING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER. I HAD THE CAR TOWED IN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HAD CORPORATE NISSAN STEP IN TO INVESTIGATE THE CAR. 6 WEEKS LATER THEY INVESTIGATED THE CAR REPORTING THAT NO ERROR WAS FOUND WITH THE CAR AND AGAIN I SHOULD PICK MY VEHICLE UP. I REQUESTED SPECIFIC TESTS AND ASKED THE TESTING PROCESS FOR THE CAR AND WAS ADVISED BY THE INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT THAT THEY COULD NOT DISCLOSE THAT INFORMATION AND THAT THE TESTING AND RESULTS WERE "PROPERTY OF NISSAN" AND THAT THEY WERE NOT OFFERING ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE.
WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH SNOW AND ICE THE FRONT GRILL OF THE VEHICLE BECAME COVERED WITH A COATING OF ICE. THIS BLOCKED THE FRONT RADAR DEVICE FROM WORKING. THEREFORE SHUTTING DOWN THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM AND THE AUTOMATIC COLLISION DETECTION SYSTEM WHICH BRAKES THE VEHICLE WHEN GETTING TO CLOSE TO A VEHICLE IN FRONT. THIS CONDITION PERSISTED EVEN AFTER PASSING THROUGH THE STORM BECAUSE THE TEMPERATURE WAS AT FREEZING OR BELOW. THIS OCCURRED WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY. THE ICE ON THE GRILL ONLY MELTED AFTER STOPPING, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL AND AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM RETURN TO NORMAL. WOULD THIS ICE BUILD-UP ON THE FRONT GRILL ALSO CAUSE A PROBLEM WITH THE RADIATOR AND THE COOLING SYSTEM?
