Service brakes, Forward collision avoidance, Dec 19, 2022, crash
On 12/16/22 while going through an overpass on a expressway/thruway, my 2017 Nissan Rogue automatic emergency braking system suddenly, erroneously and dangerously activated. Vehicle sustained body damage in the course of the sudden, with no reason, defective AEB/FEB engagement. Vehicle was limped off of the expressway/thruway and I called 911 and Triple A for transport to the dealer. I have since learned that Nissan has had thousands of complaints about this serious safety defect. Vehicle is currently at the Nissan dealer being inspected. I do not understand why a recall has not been issued as yet for this ongoing serious safety defect. It is also my understanding that Nissan has issued several corrective action "bulletins" on this matter but there is no real fix. The problem persists. I would never have purchased this vehicle if I had been made aware of the serious safety defect. CarFax Report at time of purchase and service documentation at the dealers do not show that the vehicle ever received any corrective action prior to my purchase of the vehicle in November 2020. I will never feel safe again in this vehicle. I and the occupants of my car on 12/16/22 are lucky to be alive. This serious incident could have resulted in all of our deaths on the expressway/thruway.

Was driving at night. No obstruction s in road (nor any railroad gates or anything Nissan has said in last) and car automatically started braking on main road. Luckily not many people were out and it didn’t cause any damage/accidents
Forward collision avoidance, Nov 15, 2022
On 3 different occasions, emergency braking has been initiated with no object in front that can be struck. Vehicle has locked and unlocked while in transit with no explanation, dashboard quickly shows error then stops.

i was going up a hill and the breaks just automatically activated on their own. there was the beeping then it just happened. nothing in the road ahead of me it was all clear.
Forward collision avoidance, Aug 15, 2022
This morning while driving to work I was crossing a major intersection (Northbound Chiquita Blvd / Pine Island Rd in Cape Coral FL) at 45 mph when my automatic breaking system activated and brought my car to a stop in the middle of the intersection. There was no vehicle or object in front of me and there was no abnormal weather so there was no reason for the vehicle to stop. Luckily there was nobody behind me and I was able to continue on my way to work, but this could be a major safety issue if Nissan Rogues just suddenly come to a stop for no reason.

Me vehicle keeps warning me of a forward collision when there is not the possibility of one. It has locked up the brakes at speed on an open road once before. This thing needs to be recalled this is a wide spread problem with rogues.

Sometimes the crash warning light turns on without a reason I had taken the truck to dealership for this and I was told it’s because it is stopping me from crashing but I don’t see how if there are no cars on front of me or anything at all also a lot of times the car will start shaking when stopping or accelerating again I call the dealership and nothing has been done

While driving on 86th street in Indianapolis, Indiana on a trip, my 2017 Nissan Rogue abruptly and suddenly stopped with no warning whatsoever. I was driving at approximately 30 to 35 miles per hour at the time. The engine remained operating once the vehicle stopped. I pressed the gas pedal after the abrupt stop when the vehicle began to move forward.

The car even after reprogramming ICC/ ADAS radar is still having similar problems over again. The car when driving on an open road suddenly stops and stalls with a malfunction sign and a crash signal in the middle of highway. The car then does not starts and the above message prevents the RPM from increasing. It drives at idle speed with no acceleration. The car fixes back itself some times and restarts driving fine and after few miles, again in the middle of road, same incident happened when it stalled again and same malfunction message appeared. There is an open investigation by NHSTA currently about this incident as reported in majority of 2017 Nissan Rogue. It is a huge safety concern with increased risk of injury or death to self, passengers, and others. Nissan is not taking accountability for this.

Pulling away from a traffic light and the car stopped by itself and the red e - brake light on dashboard came on
Forward collision avoidance, Mar 3, 2022
Was driving down the interstate going 80 mph. All of a sudden the car starting stopping. It wouldn't accelerate but the engine was still revving. Was able to get it pulled to the side of the road. It calmed down, then got back on the road. That was the second time, the first time happen in town while going about 30 mph. At that time I didn't think much about it. Due to it completely stopping it could have caused us to have a crash. I took it to the dealership the next day and they told me there were no recalls for my vin, that only thing they could do was schedule an appointment to have it looked over. Only warning we got was when it happened, the dash flashed and it went to a stop. Nothing before hand.
Service brakes, Forward collision avoidance, Dec 6, 2021
I was driving 5mph at a drive through Xmas light display. While slowly driving through the display, the vehicle suddenly lunged forward followed by the emergency braking system engaging. Which brought the car to a sudden stop in front of the cars following behind us. I turned the car off then back on. Several lights on the dash remained on after restarting the car. I took it into the Nissan dealership in Rockwall, TX. They told me the ABS control module failed and needed to be replaced. Based on what I was doing at the time of the incident, this sudden failure could have resulted in a potential accident. The dealership also told me this is a know issue on other Nissan's and has been known to cause the vehicles to catch on fire.

Car died, now warning light came on malfunctioning of EBS. Cruise control cuts off for no reason. Car breaks on it on. Almost causing accident. It is now in the shop for a brand new transmission!!! And EBS bad sensors. I do not want the car back. Please make them but it back. Also there is a bad ground when using the Bluetooth, but they can’t seem to notice it.
Forward collision avoidance, Sep 27, 2021
The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH with the cruise control activated, the vehicle independently came to an abrupt stop as the crash sensor warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact immediately pulled over and read the safety manual but could not find the cause of the failure. After restarting the vehicle, the contact resumed normal driving with the cruise control activated and the same failure occurred again. The contact called a dealer where an appointment was made to inspect the vehicle. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000.

My car brakes locked up for no reason as I was driving. I’ve called Nissan they did a “reset” on the braking system while I was under warranty. The car continues to flash malfunction and front radar disabled. My car beeps all the time on the road for zero reason. Now my cars warranty is out by a few miles and the refuse to fix it. This is a safety issue. I’m terrified of wrecking and they will not fix it without 1300.00. Called home office they won’t budge. This isn’t my fault the car has done this since I bought it. It’s not safe and I fear of causing a wreck when the brakes lock up again. They would rather me wreck than fix my car under the warranty. I have powers when they rest it when under the 60 days time frame but it didn’t fix the problem. Now I’m stuck with a huge bill on a car I bought to be safe in. Please help there needs to be a recall. After researching I see this is a common issue that Nissan refuses to fix. How many die before it’s corrected. This is a safety issue. Not a brush it off sort of problem. This could kill someone. Bought 01/2020 issues began 02-2020 and are still happening.
Forward collision avoidance, May 18, 2021
Driving on the highway about 65M mph, the forward emergency system (FEB), read an error message. Immediately the engine brake was activated causing the car to brake. I pulled over in the highway and turn off the engine, ERROR message for the FEB was not showing anymore. However few hours (2 hours) later, the FEB error message displayed again, causing the brake engine to kick in and stop the car. At the red light, when i push the gas to start, the RPM will go up to 6000 and the car won't move. Drivers behind me are at risk to slam my car rear end, because of the sudden braking from the FEB error.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 50 MILES AN HOUR WHEN SUDDENLY MY COLLISION ALARM STARTED "BEEPING" AND THE BRAKES ACTIVATED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN, WHILE MAKING A GRINDING SOUND AND CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE. THERE WERE NO OBJECTS IN FRONT OF ME AND THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO CARS DIRECTLY BEHIND ME, THAT COULD HAVE STRUCK MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE SUDDEN UNEXPECTED STOP.

ENTERING INTO A PARKING STRUCTURE, COMING UP AN INCLINE. I HEAR A BEEP, AND WARING LIGHT COMES ON BUT DISAPPEARS VERY QUICKLY, I'M NOT ABLE TO SEE THE ICON. WHILE COMING UP THE INCLINE AND GETTING READY TO MAKE A RIGHT, THE DASHBOARD BEEPS AGAIN AND THE ICON APPEARS AND DISAPPEARED. THE CAR SUDDENLY JUST BRAKES, COMPLETELY STOPS AND YOU CAN HEAR SKID SOUNDS. THE CAR DOESN'T CUT OFF, BUT TAKES A MINUTE FOR ME TO GET THE CAR BACK IN MOTION.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO CARS CLOSE TO ME AND AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED TWICE
Forward collision avoidance, Apr 9, 2021
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM INDEPENDENTLY ACTIVATED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ABRUPTLY STOP EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLE NEARBY. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY SHUT-OFF WHILE DRIVING, WITHOUT WARNING. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WERE NOT YET DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER CROWN NISSAN LOCATED AT 3900 W. WENDOVER AVE, GREENSBORO, NC 27407 AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20MPH, WITH NO VEHICLE OR OBSTRUCTION IN FRONT OF ME, MY ROGUE AUTOMATICALLY BRAKED, FLASHED A WARNING BAR IN THE DASH, AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE PHYSICALLY SHAKING AND MAKING A GRINDING NOISE. THE CAR HAD ENGAGED THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM WITHOUT CAUSE. THIS OCCURRED AT 8:00PM (NIGHT) AND ABOUT 20 FEET BEFORE A RAILROAD CROSSING ON A TWO-LANE STREET IN A RURAL TOWN, BUT THERE WAS NO TRAIN PRESENT. IT TOOK SEVERAL SECONDS TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR AND BEGIN DRIVING AGAIN. THE CAR FOLLOWING ME WAS FAR ENOUGH BEHIND TO AVOID A REAR COLLISION, AND WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE AROUND MY STOPPED VEHICLE. I HAVE REPORTED THE OCCURRENCE TO FRED ANDERSON NISSAN OF ASHEVILLE, WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON SEPT. 29, 2020, AND AM WAITING FOR THEIR RESPONSE ABOUT CORRECTING THE PROBLEM.

SENSORS GO OFF AS IF SOMETHING IS IN FRONT OF ME TO POSSIBLE EMERGENCY BRAKING AND CUTS OFFS AFTER BEEPING A COUPLE TIMES WHEN I'M DRIVING ON AN EMPTY ROAD. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND CONCERNS ME THAT IT WILL EVENTUALLY ENACT EMERGENCY BRAKING. THIS OCCURS WHILE I'M IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET GOING STRAIGHT.

1. MY FORWARD COLLISION WARNING GOES IN AND OUT OF SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES PER MONTH. 2. THE CVT QUIT WORKING AT 78,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING ON I-70 BETWEEN DENVER, CO AND THE EISENHOWER TUNNEL WHEN SUDDENLY THE RPMS KICKED UP AND THE SPEED DROPPED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT GEAR I WAS IN BUT I COULD ONLY DRIVE 40 MPH AT 3500 -4500 RPMS. THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL AS WELL. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO RESET WHEN VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN RESTARTED AND SEEMED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. HOWEVER, WHEN TAKEN FOR A TEST DRIVE, THE BURNING SMELL OCCURRED AGAIN WHEN CLIMBING A HILL AND SEEMED TO DISSIPATE WHEN TRAVELING DOWN HILL AND TRANSMISSION IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.

ON 11/22/020 WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE 605 FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 65 MILES AN HOUR, MY VEHICLE CAME TO A SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED STOP. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THE ANTI COLLISION SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME AND THE DASHBOARD WARNING WAS INDICATING A MALFUNCTION ON THE EMERGENCY BREAKING SYSTEM. I HAVE REPORTED THE TWO PRIOR INCIDENTS TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY HAVE STATED THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ORIGINAL SENSOR AFTER THE VEHICLE MADE A SUDDEN STOP SIX MONTHS AFTER I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE SENSOR WARNING LIGHT WAS STILL AN ISSUE AFTER THE REPLACEMENT AND THE DEALERSHIP THEN FELT ADJUSTING THE SENSORS DISTANCE WILL RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.. IT DID NOT... MY VEHICLE WAS ALMOST IN A COLLISION AS IT CAME TO ANOTHER SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED STOP AFTER A FEW MONTHS AFTER WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN IN THE INTERSECTION. THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTED NISSAN AND WERE ADVISED TO STABILIZE THE SENSOR WITH A BRACKET. NONE OF THE METHODS NISSAN HAS USED RESOLVED THE SENSOR MALFUNCTION. NISSAN DEALERSHIP INSISTED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND INSISTED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE SENSOR MALFUNCTION. ON 11/22/2020 MY VEHICLE ALMOST CAUSED A REAR END COLLISION AS IT AGAIN MADE A SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED STOP. THE DEALERSHIP FAILED TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION AND DESPITE ME HAVING A VIDEO AND PICTURES OF THE DASHBOARDS WARNING LIGHT ON. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE IS A HAZARD ON THE ROAD AND CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE A SEVERE ACCIDENT DUE TO THE FAULTY EMERGENCY BREAKING SYSTEM. THE DEALERSHIPS ADVICE IS TO GET BACK IN MY CAR BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, THEY ALSO DO NOT WANT TO SEE THE VIDEO OR THE PICTURE OF THE DASHBOARD WITH THE MALFUNCTION WARNING DISPLAY.
