For the past week I have experienced my gas pedal sticking when I accelerate to pass a vehicle at an increased speed. It takes several taps of the brake to get the pedal to unstick. The latest incident was yesterday on my way home from work. I took my car to a local Nissan Dealer and they said they determined it was the floormat, but I looked at that each time it happened and it is not over the floormat. I'm afraid to drive this car and don't know what to do about it.
Driving down interstate on nice clear day with minimal traffic, cruise control set at 70mph when suddenly the cruise disengages, warning light begins to appear on dash showing 2 cars colliding with audible alarm informing me that the front radar is obstructed. Cruise control will not work and any attempt to use cruise control is met with audible alarm and warning that front radar is obstructed. I stop, check all radar/sensors for debri... everything is fine, no bugs, not debri, no obstruction. I restart engine, same warning appears before I even put transmission in drive. Start driving, same situation, front radar obstructed, cruise not available. After 10 miles or so the flasing light goes off, everything returns to normal, cruise control works properly. Car may experience this oroblem twice in hundred mile trip on perfectly clear day. Other times it may not happen at all on a 100 mile trip. When this does happen in heavy traffic the situation becomes dangerous quickly because the automated braking is disabled and if the radio is on it's easy to not realize the system is off until your speed is reduced significantly. I have had 2 close calls because of this - one with a car in front of me stopping abruptly and the system failed to maintain the selected gap between my vehicle and the vehicle in front of me so I had to veer onto the median to avoid a collision; the second time the cruise abruptly disengaged traffic behind me almost ran into me which caused vehicles behind me to have a close call. So far this problem has always happened on the highway or interstate, never in town. Sometimes when it is raining really hard the same warning light & audible alarm will sound, however cruise control remains operational as does the automatic braking. So it appears to work properly at times.
This vehicle was purchased brand new on June 2020. First incident was in November 2020 I was driving at 55mph on a highway and all of the sudden the emergency brake was turned on and my car came to a complete stop and the car started beeping letting me know of the possible collision. There was clearly nothing in front of me but thanks to this incident I came so close to causing a monstrous chain effect of an accident and could have been fatal if someone would have rear ended me given the speed everyone is traveling and my car suddenly stopping. I took my car to the dealership it was purchased from and they "did a software update" and replaced the electric module of the car. Since that incident I am very fearful that it'll happen again. It's terrible that I'm driving a care I don't even feel safe in and still paying. Also there's this noise coming from the back axel's they sound like if there braking apart very loud and every time I back up they can even be heard and it turns heads and its terrible again I'm embarrassed of the loud noise of it and took it to the dealership all they can say is "cant hear and cant fix issue since its non-existent". also the radio randomly will shut off and power on at any time then speakers start to sound like if someone dropped water inside of them! and again the dealerships response "no issue at the time of service" and there recommendation is to record it on my phone when it happens. Well I cant do that if I'm driving. This car is the definition of a lemon. Not happy of the purchase and wouldn't recommended this vehicle to anyone.
Driving down Ohio pike after a short stop, car felt like it was driving in a low gear or not shifting and the manual option was not engaged. Traveling approximately 35-45 mph for about a mile or so when all of a sudden the steering wheel jerked to the left and car decelerated into oncoming traffic turn lane. Thankfully no one was in turn lane. I put car in park, collected my thoughts, daughter reached over and put hazards on. There were no warning lights on the dashboard and the weather was cloudy but dry conditions. I was able to drive the car to a parking lot across the two lanes, turn the car off, restar it drive it around the parking lot and then attempt to drive it to Nissan dealership 3 miles away. The car still seemed to not drive like it was in the correct gear so pulled off into a restaurant parking lot and eventually was towed to closest Nissan. It has been one week, I still do not have my car back because dealership will not release it back to me for safety reasons. The dealership indicated they are working with Nissan. I was given a loaner car to get home in another state. This is is a lease car that I am paying for and not able to use and now I am scared to drive. As of now dealership told me a wire came loose from the computer.
My 2020 Nissan Rogue I only had about 3 days and I was driving turning out of a church parking lot and it cut off on me. I tried to crank it and it would not crank. The check engine light was also on. Had to have it towed. The second 2020 Nissan Rogue I got from the same dealership, I have been having issues with the Feb/aeb light coming since September. No one, no animals, no fog, no rain, no other cars are near me when this light kept coming on, that I have video of. Had it looked at at two different Nissan dealerships one found past codes in Oct and the other on 11/3 said everything was perfectly fine nothing was wrong. On 11/4 I was driving about 35-40 miles per hour on a city street and my car just braked on me out of no where. And a red/orange light with a car in the middle with a sound wave type symbol blinked on the dashboard and when off before I knew it. It was terrifying and thankfully no one was hurt because our heads flew forward and this could have caused an accident. No cars were in front of me during this time, but there were some behind me that could have hit me and caused a major accident. The dealerships are aware and so is Nissan Consumer Affairs, but I am still being told it is okay to drive this unsafe vehicle because there are no codes that the computer can find.
