The failure pattern owners describe
Owners of 2023 Rogues report cruise control and forward driving aids disabling suddenly at highway speeds with "Forward driving aids disabled" messages, sometimes triggered by cold weather (35–50°F). The forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking systems have failed to activate during actual collisions, with one vehicle totaled after three separate braking-system failures. Three owners report unexpected acceleration while stopped at lights or parked—engine revs hard against the brakes with no way to stop except turning off the engine or shifting to neutral.
Engine malfunction with reduced power (8–30 mph cap) happens dozens of times per day during stop-and-go traffic and highway driving. One owner at 38K miles reports over 30 incidents; dealerships cannot replicate the fault or find error codes. Another owner already received a replacement engine but it's failing faster than the original, accumulating over 112K miles with repeated sensor replacements and six to seven months in the shop.
An AWD error caused one vehicle to slow and stall on the expressway; the engine coolant bypass valve was replaced. Dealerships cite an engine bearing safety recall with remedy delayed until late 2025, refusing diagnosis without a $4,500 upfront fee and offering no loaner vehicles. One owner lost $7,910 after selling a 45-day-old vehicle Nissan wouldn't repair, while another faces years of payments on a car unable to drive safely.
Failure modes owners describe
Forward Collision Warning/Cruise Control System Dropout
Forward driving aids and cruise control intermittently disable with 'Forward driving aids disabled. Front sensor blocked' message, especially in cold weather (35–50°F). Lane camera suspected as cause; overheating issues reported.
When: Intermittent, multiple times per trip; cold-weather trigger noted; one owner at 112K miles
Symptoms owners cite: Cruise control shuts off mid-drive; Forward collision warning and avoidance systems disable; 'Forward driving aids disabled. Front sensor blocked' message appears; Vehicle decelerates suddenly when system cuts out; Cold weather (35–50°F) triggers prolonged outages (30–45 min); Lane camera overheating suspected
Codes mentioned: Forward driving aids disabled fault
Repairs/costs cited: Three sensors replaced at dealership per one owner; dealership unable to replicate fault in another case. No permanent fix achieved.
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: Dealership stated no error codes found; told owner issue may require recall before service. Lane camera overheating mentioned as possible underlying cause.
Automatic Emergency Braking System Failure
Automatic braking and crash detection alarm failed to activate during collision events, occurring at least three separate times before vehicle was totaled.
When: First occurrence May 2025, second July 2025, collision August 6, 2025
Symptoms owners cite: Automatic braking system failed to engage; Crash detection alarm inoperative; Vehicle unable to be controlled in collision scenario; Repeated failures over three separate events
Repairs/costs cited: Problem was never addressed at dealership due to scheduling issues; vehicle ultimately totaled in collision.
Unexpected Acceleration and Loss of Braking Control
Engine accelerates without driver input, particularly when stopped at traffic lights or while parked. Vehicle accelerates through brakes and continues until shifted to neutral or engine shut off.
When: While stopped or parked; one incident 12/23/2024; occurring 4+ times in one month for another owner
Symptoms owners cite: Engine revs and accelerates while foot on brake; No effect from brake pedal; Vehicle accelerates off road or into oncoming traffic hazard; Only remedy is turning engine off or shifting to neutral; Recurring behavior after initial occurrence
Repairs/costs cited: Dealership unable to duplicate fault or find cause.
Engine Malfunction with Reduced Power/Stalling
Check Engine light with 'Engine Malfunction. Power Reduce. Service Now' message; vehicle speed reduced to 8–30 mph regardless of throttle input. Occurs during stop-and-go traffic and highway driving.
When: Less than 38K miles for one owner (30+ incidents); at 70K miles and beyond for another
Symptoms owners cite: Engine revs and warning light appears; Speed capped at 8–30 mph despite hard throttle; Check engine light and multiple other warning lights; Vehicle unresponsive to accelerator pedal; Recurring multiple times per day over months; Stalling events
Codes mentioned: Engine Malfunction—Power Reduce code
Repairs/costs cited: Dealership unable to diagnose at 38K miles. One owner replaced catalytic converter, muffler, EGR sensor (twice), mass airflow sensor, remanufactured engine, and oil changes every 3K miles. Remanufactured engine failing faster than original.
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: Engine bearing degradation recall issued; remedy not expected until late Q4 2025. Dealership refuses service without $4,500 upfront diagnostic fee. No rental or loaner assistance offered.
AWD System Malfunction and Engine Coolant Bypass Valve Failure
AWD error displayed; vehicle slows drastically, then stops and will not restart. Engine coolant bypass valve (P26A3-00) replaced to address the fault.
When: Occurred on expressway during active driving
Symptoms owners cite: AWD error message displayed; Vehicle abruptly slows from highway speed to complete stop; Vehicle will not restart; Vehicle required towing
Codes mentioned: P26A3-00
Repairs/costs cited: Engine coolant bypass valve replaced.
Turbo Engine Malfunction and Reduced Acceleration
Turbo engine malfunction causing reduced power and slow acceleration. Dealership states $5,000 turbo replacement required; owner disputes whether it should be covered under engine bearing recall.
When: 3-year-old vehicle at time of complaint
Symptoms owners cite: Engine malfunction warning light; Reduced power and acceleration; Low performance
Repairs/costs cited: Dealership quotes $5,000 for turbo replacement. Owner states turbo hose and bearings covered under recall, but turbo itself is not. Throttle body failure anticipated as secondary damage.
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: Engine bearing recall applies to turbo hose and bearings only; turbo replacement not covered.
Fuel System Issue and Poor Fuel Economy
Vehicle smells of gasoline continuously and achieves only 225–250 miles per full tank, well below normal fuel economy expectations.
When: <UNKNOWN>
Symptoms owners cite: Constant gasoline smell; Severely reduced fuel economy (225–250 miles per tank)

It's a meaningful issue. 16 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?
Mileage data is limited for this issue. Owners report failures across a wide range, suggesting cause is more about driving conditions and maintenance than mileage alone.
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.
