Saved me from Injuries

[TaiLuu]

I got in to a wreak earlier. lady didn't stop in time so she ran in to me.
Air bags deployed and the Rogue magically stopped by its self applied the brakes. If it wasn't for that I would of been in the ER or worst.
The Rogue probably saved my life. Man, My rogue is f*** now.......

I always felt that the Rogue would protect the occupants in a majority of accidents. Congrats on coming out of it pratically unscathed considering the ER was the other option.

Brand new car, that sucks.

At least you got your first dent out of your system.

Now MOD away! yahoooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Lol I didn't even know the car brakes its self after crashing. or maybe the damage caused the braking. cause i was hit in the front driver side wheel well area. my rim , strut, steering knuckle, and axle are shot. maybe frame too.

MODs? hmmmmm
Rebuild 8.5:1and throw a supercharger?
or rebuild fuel system and run e85 with a supercharger?

The Rogue does not have any 'automatic' or 'preview' brakes like some Infiniti models. The Rogue (like nearly all Nissan's since ~2002) does have 'brake assist' which boosts power to the brakes when it senses rapid application of the brake pedal.

What Damages do you think I have?
Right now I'm thinking Strut, Wheel, Panel, bumper, Steering knuckle, Ball joint, CV joint,Axle, Caliper, rotor, frame?, door, transmission?
Do you think the Collision would of pierced the transmission or the Cv joints protected it? I didn't get a chance to check.







Heres the story. Still not solved yet. Do you guys side with me? to get my hopes up.

Glad to hear you're okay!
Anyway, her fault. And good thing you got a witness too. That'll further put her at fault.

Will Nissan still warranty me after a car accident?
Still clean title.
By that I mean the parts that got replace.

[ThandaPani]

Glad to see you come out safe.

My friend had a collision with her rogue few months ago where an 80 year old lady drove on the wrong lane and crashed on to her. Her car was totalled, but she came out safely. On the other hand, I bumped into a car on the highway when the CRV in front made a hard stop in the middle of the highway. Couldn't fully stop, and I just tapped his car a bit and the rear spare wheel dented my front bumper, the hood and damaged the radiator a bit ($3000+ cost), even with a soft touch. So for Safety, Rogue is great, but Body strength, Its not that great (Just IMO).

Ok, Got My Rogue Back !!!
I got a Few questions. Karl chevy was repairing my car and They never replaced the head rest I told them they needed to replace them so they will. The Head rest moves back and forth.
The question is .. is there any other things that needs to be relearned or replace from a collision.
Of course the repair meant disconnecting the battery so I re did the clock and my Avg MPG is reseted.
I know the rogue has EPS but would disconnecting the battery change steering?
I know resetting ECU/ Disconnecting Battery would Cause the transmission To shift differently or back to how factory made the transmission. Cause the steering is more heavy.

2 Days ago they said the Rogue was ready to be picked up and I went to get it I check if everything work but the Window didn't Auto up It needed to be relearned.
and the air bag light was on. so they had to take it to nissan.
I Don't want to Drive it off and come back with the air bag all deploy cause they forgot something.

There gonna send me a list of things that got replaced next week, but The things I know that got replaced were

Steering rack
Axle
Half shaft
All the suspension parts on the front driver side. Includes Steering knuckle
Bumper, Fender, Door, window, Headliners, curtain air bags, Wheel, Tire, Brake Caliper, Brake line, And they will replace Head rest after they get it in.


And One more thing I do not remember if the Spare tire was full sized or a donuts.
Those bastards are lucky I don't remember cause right now I have a Donut.
11' Rogue SV AWD

For informational purposes, how much did it cost to repair that type of damage.

[TaiLuu]

^^^$11,000 Not Including Rental Car
5,500 Is probably Labor charges.........

I recently had a rear-ended accident too...why did you want to change the head rests? Will they change the Head Rest cushion with the two chrome rods or the whole assembly inside the seat? Was it moving like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gl0Sdqz_jyo

[TaiLuu]

Yep, That's how it is.
And I Really Hope they knew what I meant.
I just told them My rogue has a feature called Active Headrest And You probably need to get a new headrest for both seats. lol
To think that would trigger the airbag light cause right now I don't have Active Headrest.

My wheels don't Straighten When I'm done making a turn FML
They didn't lub the Rack Pinion right....

[Qashqai]

I think you don't have to worry about it. I made a really deep research and I can say that there is no electronic component in the active head restrain system. It is just a simple mechanic part that is activated by the weight of the occupant. In case of a rear ended collision, when the occupants body goes backwards, the head restraint goes forward. To protect the neck. I also compare the headrests with three brand new Rogues and two 2008 Rogues..they all move like the one I upload on Youtube...

It is just human nature. After the accident you though they are broken..but not. (and your accident was not rear ended type like mine)

http://www.nissan-global.com/EN/SAFETY/ ... /HEADREST/

The system is as complicated as the ones in Toyota:

http://www.toyota.co.za/ContentPage.aspx?PageId=127

After my accident I thought my is broken as well. I though it is a single-use safety feature, like airbags. But no. The owners manual doesn't say anything like "you should change them after a serious collision" and NissanGlobal website says "they will go back to their original position after a collision". The only question is maybe they are damaged. My previous car was a Renault (back I was still living in Europe) and the owner manual of that car says "after a serious collision you should let mechanics check the seat belts"....Yes seat belts are not single use security parts like airbags, but they SHOULD be checked.

But here comes the trade off...Would you really want those mechanics take your seat apart and change (or try to change) the parts and but them back together. While they are removing the seat God knows what other damages THEY will cause. So I, after making lots of research, decide not to let them touch the seats.

[TaiLuu]

I did think about how they were going to open the seats up too. lol
I thought they would just replace the seats for easier repair. but yea this is pretty much true.
After what I've been through with Karl Chevrolet I don't Want them touching my seats now. Hehe
But Serious I Do not remember the Headrest moving like that.
When I drive a long distance I would drive with one arm behind the headrest and pull up. The seat to wiggle but the headrest doesn't move like how it would now.

[Qashqai]

believe me it moves. Just go to the closest Nissan dealer and test one of the new Rogue's headrests. I did (under surprised look of people) they move like this...
