My brakes are not working properly. I first noticed my brake not responding correctly to the normal amount of pressure on 1/15/19. I would apply normal pressure and have no response, and have to press harder to get any kind of decline in speed. I took it to a local shop and they put on brakes, rotors, and flushed the brake system. A few weeks went by and the brakes were okay, but still not normal. On 2/1/19 the brakes would completely fail. I would press the brake and the brake would hit the floor with no backward pressure on my foot and no slowing of the car. I took it back to the shop on 2/2/19 and they flushed my brakes. I ran a few errands and returned my car that same day because it was still not stopping properly. They flushed the brakes again and suggested I see a Nissan service center if that did not fix it. On 2/4/19 I took my car to a Nissan service center. They could not find the issue, but suggest a brake flush. I declined because of the price and my brakes had been flushed twice two days prior. But to be safe, I returned it to the original shop and had them flush my brakes again. The car will now stop. However, the same amount of pressure may cause a sudden stop or a smooth stop. The brakes are still not responding properly and I am afraid they will fail again. I called the Nissan customer affairs line and they said to have a Nissan service center flush the brakes. A brake flush is a brake flush and it is not worth $118 to have a Nissan shop flush my brakes for the same outcome. I looked online to see if other 2013 Nissan Rogue owners had sudden brake failure, and they have. I believe this is worth looking into. Accidents are happening because of something with this Rogue, not because of my lack of maintaining it. This is Nissan's failure, not the consumer.

I purchased this vehicle used with just over 49,000 miles on it. I have had it for less than a month. I discovered that the right rear brake line has been run incorrectly during assembly. The mounting plate and bolt, where it is supposed to attach are both present. The brake line was run under a frame bolt instead of above the bolt. The brake line is rubbing on the bolt frame. The chaffing has rubbed through the outer rubber coating. The website is not allowing me to upload video or photos. Please contact me and I can email the video and photos.

On Saturday, May 16th heading on the 91 East by bellflower, ca. Frwy I was driving and when a sudden stop I found it hard to make a stop because the brake felt as if it sunk in. I unfortunately hit a truck in front of me. The vehicle did not receive any damage but my Nissan 2013 Rogue did. I took pictures to show the damage. At the time of the accident, I was very concerned because the air bags did not deploy. The vehicle did receive a front impact but the air bags had no reaction to the hit. At the time of the accident I rode with my 3 children ages, 18, 15 and 11 and my fianc. Prior to this happening I took the vehicle to get it's maintenance and after this happening I was sure that the vehicle felt very different. It was almost as if it would accelerate and the brakes kept sinking in with having a delay in making a full stop. The vehicle is currently in a body shop through my insurance and I do not recall the mileage? this is very concerning and has been ever since receiving the recall letter regarding the possible electrical problem that might set a fire. Please advise/help. Thank you!

Driving on hwy, went to make left at light, the wheels locked and the car slid into a guardrail damaging the entire front of vehicle. I want to know if there is some sort of factory defect with the braking or steering system and if so what is my recourse to have this car exchanged or repaired. I've had it for 3 months - don't believe anything should be locking on it. This is dangerous for me and any passengers I may have. I need to know about this brand new now damaged car of mine. Thank you.
