WHEN DRIVING AT A MODERATE SPEED THEN SLOWING DOWN IN TRAFFIC THAT IS SLOW AND STOP AND GO, ONCE I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND GET READY TO GO AGAIN THE CAR HESITATES TO TAKE OFF. THE ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE A TRUCK AND DOES NOT GO ABOVE 25MPH WITH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. THE LIGHTS THAT APPEAR ON THE DASH IS THE SAFETY CRASH AND WARNING LIGHTS. I THEN HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE TURN THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON AGAIN FOR IT TO GO BACK TO NORMAL. THIS HAPPENS 1-2 TIMES A WEEK. I AFRAID THIS GOING TO CAUSE A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO SHERIDAN NISSAN THREE TIMES. THEY ARE SAYING NOTHING IS WRONG.

OWN 2017 ROGUE. AFTER RECEIVING AN RECALL SOFTWARE UPDATE 5 HOURS LATER MY CAR EXPERIENCED THIS. HAD RIGHT FOOT ON BRAKE AND WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT WITHIN A PARKING GARAGE. CAR WAS MOVING BUT AT IDLE SPEED CAUSE I WAS 1/4 OF WAY INTO PARKING SPOT WHEN SUDDENLY I HEARD THE ENGINE REV AND CAR TOOK OFF STOPPING ONLY BY THE CEMENT WALL IN FRONT OF ME. HAD IT BEEN A RAILING ON THIS OUTSIDE WALL I WOULD HAVE GONE OVER 7 FLOORS DOWN. NO MATS IN CAR AND I WAS WEARING FLATS SO NISSAN CAN'T SAY THAT CAUSED THIS

A FEW TIMES ON A COOL START IN THE MORNING IT DOESN'T FULLY TURN OVER. I WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND TURN KEY AGAIN THEN IT TURNS OVER. A FEW TIME WHILE BACKING UP OUT OF MY WORK SPOT, THE CAR 'JUMPS' LIKE IT IS GOING TO KILL. AS SOON AS I HIT BRAKE IT REVS BACK UP AND THEN I CAN GO. TODAY I LEFT WORK, THEN AT A STOP SIGN MY CAR KILLED. I REALLY DIDN'T THINK MUCH, UNTIL IT KILLED. I WILL BE CALLING SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOMORROW.

ON MARCH 16TH I HAD A ACCIDENT THAT WAS A RESULT OF A KNOWN ISSUE THAT NISSAN IS NOT ADDRESSING (MORE IF I AT WWW.NISSANPROBLEMS.COM/AEB ). BASICALLY, WHEN LEAVING A PARKING GARAGE MY CAR SUDDENLY MADE BEEP BEEP BEEP SOUNDS AND STOPPED ON ITS OWN AND THE CAR BEHIND ME HIT MY CAR. I HAVE ALREADY REACHED TO THE INSURANCE WHERE I WOULD JUST NEED TO PAY $500 DEDUCTIBLE FOR THE FIX HOWEVER THE FIX WOULD ONLY HANDLE THE BUMPER FIXING AND NOT THE FACT THAT THE CAR IS DEFECTIVE. I'D OBVIOUSLY DON'T WANT TO KEEP THIS CAR. IN THIS CASE I'D BE LOOKING FOR ASSISTANCE WITH NISSAN, WITH LEASE TERMINATION AND WITH BODY INJURIES. NISSAN REQUIRES THE CAR TO BE UNTOUCHED FOR THEIR 'INVESTIGATION' IN A CERTIFIED LOCATION (THEY CLAIM MY CURRENT SHOP IS NOT CERTIFIED EVEN THOUGH IT IS LISTED IN THEIR SITE IT IS) WHERE THE ENTIRE PROCESS WOULD TAKE BETWEEN 4-12 WEEKS. DURING THIS TIME THE CAR CAN'T BE TOUCHED AND OF COURSE NOT DRIVEN. NO RESOLUTION OFFERED TO MEANTIME TRANSPORTATION AND EXPENSE COVERAGE.

THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONED, I WAS DRIVING IN A GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT WITH A PERSONAL FRIEND AND SUDDENLY THE CAR'S EMERGENCY BRAKE PROTECTION ACTIVATED JOLTING THE CAR TO A STOP. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE WAS IN A PARKING DECK (DIFFERENT FROM THE FIRST LOCATION) AND THE CAR AGAIN ACTIVATED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PROTECTION SYSTEM JOLTING THE CAR TO A STOP. I THEN FELT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND BROUGHT THIS INTO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECKED THE CAR AND CALLED REPORTING THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND I SHOULD PICK IT UP. I PICKED THE CAR UP AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT UNTIL I SWITCHED CARS WITH A PERSONAL FRIEND WHO USED THE CAR TO DRIVE ONE MILE BACK TO HOME DOWN A 4 LANE ROAD. UPON COMING TO AN INTERSECTION, SHE REPORTS SHE BEGAN SLOWING DOWN AND GOT IN A TURN LANE TO MAKE A LEFT ONTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ROAD AND AS SHE WAS APPROACHING THE LIGHT, THE CAR ACTIVATED THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM, AGAIN JOLTING THE CAR TO A STOP. SHE STATES DURING AND AFTER THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, SHE KEPT HER FOOT ON THE BREAK THE ENTIRE TIME AND WHILE DECOMPRESSING THE BRAKE, THE CAR THEN JOLTED FORWARD CRASHING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER. I HAD THE CAR TOWED IN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HAD CORPORATE NISSAN STEP IN TO INVESTIGATE THE CAR. 6 WEEKS LATER THEY INVESTIGATED THE CAR REPORTING THAT NO ERROR WAS FOUND WITH THE CAR AND AGAIN I SHOULD PICK MY VEHICLE UP. I REQUESTED SPECIFIC TESTS AND ASKED THE TESTING PROCESS FOR THE CAR AND WAS ADVISED BY THE INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT THAT THEY COULD NOT DISCLOSE THAT INFORMATION AND THAT THE TESTING AND RESULTS WERE "PROPERTY OF NISSAN" AND THAT THEY WERE NOT OFFERING ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE.

THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED.

Vehicle speed control, Forward collision avoidance, Jan 29, 2017
WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH SNOW AND ICE THE FRONT GRILL OF THE VEHICLE BECAME COVERED WITH A COATING OF ICE. THIS BLOCKED THE FRONT RADAR DEVICE FROM WORKING. THEREFORE SHUTTING DOWN THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM AND THE AUTOMATIC COLLISION DETECTION SYSTEM WHICH BRAKES THE VEHICLE WHEN GETTING TO CLOSE TO A VEHICLE IN FRONT. THIS CONDITION PERSISTED EVEN AFTER PASSING THROUGH THE STORM BECAUSE THE TEMPERATURE WAS AT FREEZING OR BELOW. THIS OCCURRED WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY. THE ICE ON THE GRILL ONLY MELTED AFTER STOPPING, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL AND AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM RETURN TO NORMAL. WOULD THIS ICE BUILD-UP ON THE FRONT GRILL ALSO CAUSE A PROBLEM WITH THE RADIATOR AND THE COOLING SYSTEM?
