2018 Nissan Rogue complaints

TWO WEEK OLD NISSAN ROGUE. THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATES IN THE PARKING GARAGE WHERE I WORK. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN ANYWHERE IN THE GARAGE (ANY FLOOR) AND WHEN I SURPASS ~15MPH. SPOKE WITH THE DEALER AND THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT, BUT GOING BY THE NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE I'M BEGINNING TO THINK NISSAN NEEDS TO ISSUE A FIX AND RECALL. *TT

I PURCHASED MY 2018 ROGUE SL AWD IN MID MARCH 2018 AND I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ISSUES SINCE MARCH 27TH. THE FIRST ISSUE THAT I'VE NOTICED WAS A VERY MAJOR INCIDENT THAT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE (GOT VIDEO) THE (FEB) FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING ENGAGED WHILE DRIVING LUCKILY NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE AROUND! ALLEGEDLY THIS ISSUE WAS RECTIFIED ON JULY 11TH! ALSO THE AUDIO SYSTEM DOES A RESET AND LOCKS UP MOST TIMES! I HAVE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF TO GET IT TO WORK! THE WHEELS HAVE SPOTS ON THEM VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN THE SUN REFLECTS ON THEM (HAVE PHOTO) THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THEM LOOKS GOOD THEY CLAIM THEY BUFF THEM OUT BUT THEY LOOK BRAND NEW. I'VE BEEN IN A LOANER VEHICLE SINCE JUNE 27TH AND IT'S JULY 12TH 2017.5 ROGUE SL AWD I'VE NOTICED A HUGE DIFFERENCE ESPECIALLY IN MPG I'M CURRENTLY GETTING 28.9 MPG AND IN MY 2018 I'M GETTING AN AVG OF 24-25MPG WITHOUT A/C RUNNING! THE REASON WHY WE ARE GETTING LESS GAS MILEAGE IN THE 2018 AWD IS BECAUSE THE 4X4-I SYSTEM IS RUNNING 50% TORQUE ON REAR WHEELS LONGER THEN NEEDED! IN THE '17.5 IT RUNS 50% TORQUE IN THE FIRST GEAR UPON TAKE OFF AND THEN ADJUST AS NEEDED (SWITCH YOUR DISPLAY TO THE 4X4-I AND WATCH HOW LONG THE TORQUE IS USED ON THE REAR WHEELS)! ON A DRY SURFACE YOU DO NOT NEED THAT MUCH TORQUE THROUGHOUT THE OTHER GEARS! I POINTED THAT OUT TO THE TECHNICIAN AND HE GAVE ME A SLIGHT NOD! (THE ACCELERATOR SENSOR, YAW RATE SENSOR OR 4WD CONTROLLER MAY NOT BE WORKING CORRECTLY!) AND THE FINAL ISSUE IS THE ENGI

THE PROBLEM BEGAN IN MY 2017 NISSAN MAXIMA. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE EMERGENCY AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM INITIATED WHILE NO OTHER CARS WERE AROUND. THEY TRADED ME IN TO THE 2018 NISSAN ROGUE AND THE SAME ISSUE HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES IN THIS VEHICLE. EACH TIME, THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. IT WASN'T UNTIL I CONTACTED CORPORATE THAT THEY ADMITTED THEY KNOW THERE'S A DEFECT, BUT NO FIX WAS AVAILABLE YET. THEY KNOWINGLY JEOPARDIZED MY INFANT SON'S SAFETY AND LIED TO ME. THIS DEFECT IS SCARY AND SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO BE SWEPT UNDER THE RUG BY THE DEALERSHIPS. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITH NISSAN.

MY AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM ENABLES WHEN THERE IS NO CAR AHEAD OR NEAR MINE. THIS HAPPENS PRIMARILY WHEN THERE IS A METAL COVER ON THE ROAD SUCH AS WHEN ROAD WORK IS BEING COMPLETED. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN 6 MONTHS. THE LAST TIME I WAS GOING 40 MPH AND IT CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP WITH A VEHICLE BEHIND ME THAT ALMOST HIT ME. I CAN MANUALLY TURN OFF THE SAFETY SHIELD BUT I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF EVERY TIME I START THE CAR.

WE MADE A PURCHASE OF BRAND NEW NISSAN ROGUE SV YESTERDAY 06/24/2018. UNFORTUNATELY WE DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO BRING OUR BRAND NEW VEHICLE AT HOME TODAY AS WE GOT MALFUNCTION WARNINGS 2 TIMES WITH SUDDEN AUTOMATIC BRAKES BY THAT VEHICLE'S AUTOMATIC BREAKING SYSTEM(ABS)AND LOUD MALFUNCTION WARNING NOISE WITHIN IN 4 MILES OF DRIVING FROM NISSAN DEALERSHIP. NISSAN DEALER TOLD US THAT HE WILL ASK HIS TECHNICIAN TO LOOK AT IT TOMORROW AND FIND OUT THE CAUSE OF THAT MALFUNCTION WARNING. BUT AS OF NOW, I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY ANSWER FROM THEM. DUE TO THIS, I FEEL VERY UNSAFE, UNCOMFORTABLE AND SCARED TO DRIVE THAT VEHICLE AGAIN AS I DROVE THAT VEHICLE FOR JUST 4 MILES BEFORE WE TURNED THAT VEHICLE TO DOWNEY NISSAN DEALER AGAIN IN LESS THAN 30 MINUTES OF OUR PURCHASE FOR REPAIR.

AT LEAST 6 TIMES THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING HAS ENGAGED WHEN THERE WAS NO VEHICLE OR OBSTACLE IN FRONT OF THE CAR.IN EACH OF THESE INCIDENTS THE WARNING LIGHT FLASHED BRIEFLY, THERE WAS A BEEP ,THE BRAKES ENGAGED AND THERE WAS A GRINDING SOUND, BUT THE CAR NEVER STOPPED. THE FIRST 4 TIMES IT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN THE RIGHT LANE OF A 3 LANE CITY STREET APPROACHING THE ENTRANCE TO A PARKWAY. ON 2 OF THOSE OCCASIONS I HAD JUST STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WAS PROCEEDING SLOWLY WHEN THE BRAKES ENGAGED THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME OR BEHIND OR I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. SO I MADE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER ON APRIL 4, 2018 , THEY TOOK A TEST DRIVE WITH ME PRESENT AND THEN CONDUCTED A COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO SEE IF ANY ERROR MESSAGES SHOWED UP , NONE DID. NO SERVICE REPORT WAS FILED AT THE TIME .FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AFTER THE PROBLEM DID NOT SURFACE UNTIL LAST NIGHT 6/21 WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL CITY STREET AND A CAR CAME OUT OF SIDE STREET TO CROSS IN FRONT OF MY CAR IT WAS ABOUT A 1/3 OF A BLOCK IN FRONT OF ME AND THE BRAKES ENGAGED . THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR WHICH WE GOT ON 1/31/2018 . THE MAJORITY OF THESE INCIDENTS OCCURRED DURING FEBRUARY, MARCH ANN NOW JUNE , THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON IT.

THREE TIMES THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM HAS ENGAGED WHEN THERE WAS NO VEHICLE OTHER OBSTACLE NEAR OR IN THE CAR'S PATH. ALL THREE TIMES, THE WARNING LIGHT FLASHED, THERE WAS A BEEP, AND THE BRAKE'S ENGAGED AND THERE WAS A GRINDING SOUND AND THE CAR PULLED TO THE RIGHT. FIRST TWO TIMES IT OCCURRED AS I WAS DRIVING UP A RAMP IN A PARKING GARAGE. AS I REACHED THE CREST OF THE RAMP, THE BRAKES ENGAGED AND CAR SLOWED. IF ANYONE HAD BEEN BEHIND, I'D HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED. THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME OR ALONGSIDE. THE THIRD OCCURRENCE WAS ON TWO LANE ROAD COMING THROUGH A TRAFFIC LIGHT -- NO CARS IN FRONT OR IN THE INTERSECTION AND SUDDENLY THE CAR BRAKED AS WELL AS BEEPED. I TALKED TO DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE FIRST TWO INCIDENTS AND THEY TOLD ME THEY KNEW OF NO ISSUES SO OF COURSE DID NOTHING. THIS IS A NEW CAR WHICH I GOT ON MARCH 24 2018. THESE INCIDENTS OCCURRED IN APRIL, MAY AND JUNE. CAR CURRENTLY HAS 4500 MILES ON IT.

WHILE DRIVING IN A PARKING GARAGE. THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM ACTIVATED FOR NO REASON, CAUSING MY CAR TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.

ON MAY 31, 2018, I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 50 MPH ON A 4 LANE ROAD WITH NO CARS BEHIND ME, AND THE NEAREST CAR IN FRONT OF ME ABOUT A MILE AHEAD. SUDDENLY MY CAR CAME TO A FULL AND COMPLETE STOP AND THEN PROCEEDED AT ABOUT 5 MPH. THIS WAS ACCOMPANIED BY TWO WARNING BEEPS AND A SEVERE GRINDING NOISE. AT NO TIME WAS MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG, NOR COULD THEY DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I CALLED THEIR NATIONAL CONSUMER HOTLINE, BUT THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT THE PROBLEM. A QUICK SEARCH ON GOOGLE REVEALS THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE.

ENGINE HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING WHICH IS DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC.

I RECENTLY GOT A CHECK ENGINE ON MY VEHICLE I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY'RE TELLING ME IT NEEDS A FUEL TEMPERATURE SENSOR THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 500 MILES ON IT IT'S A NEW 2018 NISSAN ROGUE

ON 2-3-18, I BOUGHT A NEW 2018 NISSAN ROGUE FROM ED HICKS NISSAN IN CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS. THIS CAR HAD A HANDS FREE SYSTEM THAT ALLOWED CALLS TO BE MADE AND ANSWERED WITHOUT TOUCHING THE PHONE. IT WORKED WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR. IN LATE FEBRUARY, THE CALLING PORTION OF THE SYSTEM FAILED. WE ARE UNABLE TO PLACE CALLS WITHOUT DIALING THE NUMBER THROUGH THE PHONE. THE HANDS FREE SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK AS ADVERTISED. WE ARE UNABLE TO COMPLY WITH THE HANDS FREE LAWS OF THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI EVEN THOUGH WE WERE ASSURED WE COULD WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR. THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH THEY NOW SAY DISABLES THE HANDS FREE SYSTEM IN MOST 2018 ROGUES. THEY SUGGESTED THAT I COMPLAIN TO NISSAN, WHICH I HAVE. MY NISSAN CASE NUMBER IS 30966074. MY ORIGINAL COMPLAINT WAS ESCALATED TO A YOUNG MAN NAMED ZACHRY. HIS PHONE NUMBER IS 615-725-7633. HE WAS VERY NICE BUT PROVIDED NO ANSWERS. NOW HE WON'T RETURN MY CALLS. I LEFT MESSAGES LAST FRIDAY, 5-11-18 AND MONDAY, 5-14-18. HE HAS FAILED TO RETURN MY CALLS. I ASKED THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE SYSTEM UNDER MY WARRANTY. THE SERVICE MANAGER, ROBERT TREVINO 361-227-5771, SAYS NISSAN WILL NOT AUTHORIZE THE REPAIR. I AM AT MY WITS END. NISSAN WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM OR REPLACE THE BAD UNIT WITH A NEW ONE AS IT SHOULD UNDER WARRANTY. I AM UNABLE TO COMPLY WITH THE LAWS OF THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI AND AM PLACED IN THE POSITION OF BEING A DISTRACTED DRIVER IF I HAVE TO MAKE A CALL WHILE DRIVING. I ASK THAT YOU FORCE NISSAN TO REPA

FEB SYSTEM ACTIVATED WHEN CROSSING RAIL ROAD TRACKS. NOTHING WAS IN FRONT OF THE CAR. CAR STOPPED ON TRACKS. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS THE FEB SYSTEM. I THOUGHT THE CAR JUST DIED. FINALLY PUT IT IN REVERSE BOTH TIMES AND BACKED OFF THE TRACKS. LUCKILY NO CARS WERE BEHIND ME. I TOOK CAR TO DEALER. SERVICE TECHNICIAN DROVE THE CAR TO THE SAME SPOT AND THE FEB SYSTEM ACTIVATED FOR A THIRD TIME ON THE TRACKS. CAR IS SITTING ON THE DEALER'S LOT WAITING FOR NISSAN ENGINEER TO COME. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A MONTH AND THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES.

2018 NISSAN ROGUE SV PURCHASED EARLY MARCH 2018. CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 1,700 MILES ON IT. THREE TIMES IN LESS THAN THREE WEEKS, THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM HAS ENGAGED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR ROADWAY. EACH TIME, THE WARNING LIGHTS AND DASHBOARD HAVE FLASHED AND BEEPED. ONLY THE FRONT PASSENGER BRAKE HAS ENGAGED, RESULTING IN A MAJOR "GRINDING" NOISE AND A SERIOUS JERK TO THE RIGHT. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT HAPPENED WITH A VEHICLE IN MY BLIND SPOT AND ALMOST RESULTED IN A COLLISION. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND HAVE TOLD ME THERE IS NO KNOWN ISSUE OR ERROR CODE. THE FIRST TIME TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY ALLEGEDLY RESET THE SENSORS AND TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. THURSDAY, A WEEK AFTER IT CAME HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. MY CAR IS AGAIN AT THE DEALERSHIP. NISSAN CONTINUES TO TELL ME THIS IS NOT A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY HAVE NO CODES FOR SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, BUT BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS AND OTHER SITES, IT APPEARS THERE ARE SEVERAL KNOWN ISSUES. I AM NOW IN A LOANER ROGUE ALLEGEDLY WAITING FOR NISSAN ENGINEERS TO COME LOOK AT MY CAR, WHICH MAY TAKE A WEEK OR A MONTH. IN ADDITION TO THE BRAKE ISSUE, THE ENGINE IN THIS VEHICLE ALSO RAMPS UP TO HIGH RPMS AT LOW SPEEDS (AS IF YOU WERE PUNCHING THE GAS WHEN YOU'RE NOT) AND IDLES VERY, VERY LOUDLY.

THE EMERGENCY BRAKING ENGAGES WITHOUT REASON. THIS HAS LED TO 2 NEAR MISSES. ONCE THE CAR JUST STOPPED IN THE ROAD. I THIOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE MISINTERPRETED A SNOW PILE. THEN, DRIVING OVER A TRAIN CROSSING, THE CAR JUST STOPPED. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET IT MOVING BEFORE A TRAIN CAME. VERY SCARY! WHEN I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THEY WERE NOT VERY CONCERNED. THEY THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE A SOFTWARE FIX IN A FEW WEEKS AND I SHOULD JUST SHUT OFF THE EMERGENCY BRAKING FEATURE UNTIL THEN! I PAID EXTRA FOR THIS FEATURE THAT IS MOST LIKELY GOING TO GET ME IN AN ACCIDENT!!! CRAZY!! I BELIEVE A RECALL IS NEEDED ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

ON APRIL 11, 2018, I WAS DRIVING MY BRAND NEW 2018 NISSAN ROGUE. I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE HIGHWAY, AND WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ALONG A CITY STREET WHEN SUDDENLY THE BRAKES SLAMMED ON, THRUSTING ME FORWARD AND GIVING ME A NEAR HEART ATTACK. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED, HAD THIS HAPPENED UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES. THE EMERGENCY NOTICE ON THE DASHBOARD READ "MALFUNCTION! - SEE DRIVER MANUAL." I HAD THE FORESIGHT TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE DASHBOARD, WHICH I AM INCLUDING IN THIS COMPLAINT. THE ICON WAS THAT OF TWO CARS COLLIDING. THERE HAD BEEN NO CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND NOTHING TO COLLIDE WITH. THE MANUAL INDICATED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM HAD MALFUNCTIONED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I AM NOT ACHING TO DRIVE ANOTHER NISSAN ... EVER. I FILED A REPORT WITH NISSAN CORPORATE CONSUMER AFFAIRS THE SAME EVENING. THE CAR HAD 600 MILES ON IT. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP TOW THE CAR BACK TO THEIR LOCATION THE NEXT DAY. TO DATE, I HAVE NO CAR AND NO ANSWERS. NEITHER NISSAN, NOR THE DEALERSHIP IS CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY, AND NEITHER BELIEVES THEY OWE ME ANY KIND OF ACCOMMODATIONS. FURTHERMORE, IN RESEARCHING THIS VERY WEBSITE, I CAME ACROSS FIVE (5) OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT WERE IDENTICAL TO MINE, AND WHICH HAPPENED WITHIN THE PAST MONTH OR TWO. THIS IS UNDOUBTEDLY A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. IF POSSIBLE, I WOULD LIKE TO CONNECT WITH THESE OTHER CONSUMERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. AFTER NISSAN FOLLOWED UP A FEW TIMES TO TELL ME THAT MY CASE WAS "UNDER REVIEW," NISSAN'S FIN

TL* THE CONTACT LEASED A 2018 NISSAN ROGUE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THERE WAS NO WARNING MESSAGE DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FUCCILLO NISSAN (3893 NY-31, LIVERPOOL, NY 13090, 315-944-3200) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER AND THE INDICATOR DIMMED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE AND WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED A LOANER VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 258.

THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM INCORRECTLY ACTIVATED UNDER A FALSE-POSITIVE SITUATION RESULTING IN THE BRAKES BEING APPLIED WHILE CROSSING OVER A BRIDGE. LUCKILY, THERE WASN'T A VEHICLE FOLLOWING ME, OR ELSE THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A COLLISION.

NAVIGATION / RADIO REBOOTS WHILE DRIVING REQUIRING REPROGRAMMING.

BRAND NEW 2018 NISSAN ROGUE THAT HAS AROUND 2,000 MILES ON THE CAR: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN A COUNTRY ROAD WHERE NO OTHER CAR WAS PRESENT. AN AUDIBLE WARNING SOUNDED AND THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN ON ITS OWN. SINCE THE INCIDENT, AN ERROR LIGHT FOR THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM FLASHES ON THE DASHBOARD WITH AN AUDIBLE WARNING, THEN DISAPPEARS. ALL THE INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN A COUNTRY ROAD WHEN NO OTHER CAR IS IN FRONT OF MY OWN, AND THIS HAS OCCURRED SIX TIMES OVER THE LAST FIVE WEEKS.
