NISSAN Rogue — What to know
The Rogue has been plagued by CVT transmission failures — Nissan faced a class action and extended warranty claims over CVT reliability. The transmission is the most important system to monitor on the Rogue and is the most common expensive repair.
Specifically for brake pressure sensor replacement on this model:
Rogue brake pad and rotor wear is slightly above average for the segment due to the CVT's reduced engine braking effect (all braking is friction-based). Inspect more frequently than on conventional automatic transmission vehicles.
What is this repair?
Plain-English overview
Brake system sensors and pumps — including brake pressure sensors and vacuum pumps fitted to diesel and hybrid vehicles — are critical for correct ABS, ESP and brake servo operation. A failed vacuum pump makes the brake pedal hard and dramatically increases stopping distances.
Warning signs
How to tell your NISSAN Rogue needs this repair
- Hard brake pedal requiring much greater effort to slow the car (vacuum pump failure)
- ABS or ESP warning lights on with brake pressure fault code
- Brake feel that changes unexpectedly between stops
- Hissing from the brake servo or vacuum lines
- Diesel engine stalling risk from vacuum pump driving off the camshaft
Common causes
Why NISSAN Rogue vehicles need this repair
- 1.Normal component wear over high mileage
- 2.Oil maintenance quality and adherence to change intervals
- 3.Operating temperature and thermal cycling over time
- 4.Age degrading seals, gaskets and rubber components
What affects the price
Why your quote may differ
- Vacuum pump design — some are driven off the camshaft, others are electric
- Whether the pump vanes, seals or the whole unit need replacement
- Pressure sensor location and access within the ABS modulator
