What stands out
No new NHTSA cruise control complaint has been filed on this vehicle in over 10 years — the issue may be aging out of the active population.
Is there a fix? Manufacturer service bulletins
The manufacturer has issued service bulletins covering cruise control on this vehicle — documented repair instructions, service campaigns, or warranty extensions sent to dealers. A TSB isn't a recall (it's not a free safety remedy), but it's the manufacturer acknowledging the issue and how to fix it.

The failure pattern owners describe
Owners of 2014 Nissan Rogues document two opposing but equally hazardous acceleration failures. The first is sudden unintended acceleration: engine revs to 5000+ RPM and the car lurches forward at high speed with minimal or no pedal input, occurring during parking maneuvers and highway driving. One owner's Rogue accelerated from 65 to 80 mph without input and rear-ended another vehicle; another owner had the car slam into parked vehicles and a sidewalk ramp while attempting a gentle parking-lot maneuver.
The second and more frequent complaint is loss of acceleration during highway driving. After 40+ minutes on expressways—or in warm weather—owners report the vehicle will not accelerate despite pressing the pedal to the floor. Speed drops from 60–70 mph to 20 mph in seconds. The check engine light illuminates, and the car only recovers after being shut off for 15+ minutes. Some owners report this repeating almost every long highway drive. A few note cruise control decelerates at the set speed instead of maintaining it.
A third issue is sluggish launch during merging: engine over-revs to 4000–6000 RPM but the vehicle barely reaches 40 mph, forcing dangerous merges onto busy roadways. One owner mentioned the dealer replaced the fuel pump 1.5 years prior with temporary improvement; another received a $5,500 transmission replacement quote. Most vehicles towed to dealers show no diagnostic codes or manufacturer acknowledgment of the problem.

Failure modes owners describe
Unintended acceleration / sudden engine rev
Engine suddenly revs and vehicle lunges forward at high speed without driver input, or RPMs spike to 5000+ when only gentle pedal pressure is applied. Occurs during low-speed maneuvers and highway driving.
When: Intermittent; one complaint at 25,000 miles; some owners report initial rare occurrences before escalation
Symptoms owners cite: Engine revs suddenly without driver acceleration input; Vehicle lurches forward at high speed; RPM monitor shows 5000+ RPM with only light pedal pressure; Loss of vehicle control
Repairs/costs cited: No repairs documented in these narratives; one vehicle had extensive front-end and right-side collision damage
Loss of acceleration / highway deceleration
Vehicle decelerates or fails to accelerate despite pedal being pushed to the floor. Most common during extended highway driving or in warm weather. Check engine light often illuminates. Problem resolves temporarily after shutting vehicle off for 15+ minutes.
When: After 40+ minutes of highway driving; worse in summer/warm conditions; reported from 2015 onward on 2014 model
Symptoms owners cite: Vehicle decelerates while gas pedal is pressed down; RPM rises but speed does not increase; Speed drops from 60–70 mph to 20 mph in seconds; Check engine light illuminates; Power steering light may illuminate; Problem clears after engine shut-off and cool-down period; Even cruise control will decelerate at set speed
Repairs/costs cited: One owner reported dealer replaced fuel pump 1.5 years prior with temporary improvement; one vehicle quoted at $5,500 for transmission replacement; other vehicles towed but not diagnosed or repaired
Acceleration hesitation / insufficient power during launch
Vehicle sluggish or unresponsive when accelerating from stop or merging into traffic. Engine runs loud, RPMs rise to 4000–6000 but vehicle speed remains low (under 40 mph). Requires engine shut-off to recover.
When: In warm conditions, heavy stop-and-go traffic, uphill terrain, or when merging onto highways
Symptoms owners cite: Engine loud and over-revving (RPM 4000–6000); Minimal speed gain despite high RPM; Vehicle barely moves from full stop; Sluggish acceleration when merging into traffic; Engine shakes as if about to shut off when A/C is on; A/C compressor engagement may trigger stalling
Repairs/costs cited: No specific repairs documented
Stalling after braking
Vehicle stalls after brake application, causing loss of engine power and uncontrolled acceleration behavior once restarted.
When: Highway driving above 60 mph when braking required
Symptoms owners cite: Vehicle stalls after pressing brake; Loss of speed control after stall; Acceleration becomes uncontrollable after restart; Shaking when A/C is on, as if engine about to shut off

Common questions
How serious is the cruise control problem on the 2014 Nissan Rogue?
It's a meaningful issue. 17 complaints have been filed and the failure mode causes operational problems for owners. Repairs average $600.
At what mileage does the cruise control typically fail?
Across the 11 complaints that reported odometer mileage, most cruise control failures cluster between 51,000 and 96,000 miles, with the median around 74,000. A quarter of owners report trouble before 51,000; a quarter make it past 96,000. Maintenance history matters more than the odometer alone — this is the reported failure window, not a guarantee.
What does it cost to fix?
Independent shops typically charge around $600 for cruise control repairs on this vehicle. Dealer pricing tends to run 20-40% higher. The exact figure depends on the specific failure mode, parts availability, and your local labor rates. If you're outside factory warranty, an extended service contract often covers this category.
Are there any recalls related to cruise control?
No active recalls currently cover cruise control issues on this vehicle. The complaints filed represent owner-reported failures that haven't risen to the level of a manufacturer-issued recall — but they're still worth knowing about before you buy or budget for repairs.
