annoying quiver

[scotch4life]

does a weird quiver or shaking happen to your rogue everytime you stop for about 25-30secs when the ac is on? it happens like youre shifting gears on an M/T car. and if the ac is turned off, the engine stops. weird. can anyone shed light on why this does not happen when the ac is on? heard its a feature but i wanna understand it more from actual users here.
HELP.

thank you.

Yeah, that quiver you're talking about is actually pretty common in Rogues, especially with the AC on. It's tied to the idle stop-start system. When your AC's running, the system prioritizes keeping the compressor going, so instead of fully killing the engine at stops, it just kinda holds it in this weird limbo state where the RPMs drop but don't fully cut off. That "quiver" feeling is basically the engine trying to balance power to the AC and maintain idle stability. Some people say it's more noticeable when your battery's not at peak performance or if your motor mounts are a bit worn. If it gets worse, might be worth checking those out.
