Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2014-2020 Rogue and 2017-2022 Rogue Sport vehicles equipped with a jackknife style ignition key. The jackknife key may collapse into a folded position while driving.
Driver contact with a key in the collapsed position could inadvertently shut off the vehicle while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the vehicle shuts off while driving, the air bags may not deploy in a crash as intended, increasing the risk of injury.
Dealers will insert a spacer into the key slot of the jackknife key, free of charge. Interim notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed March 29, 2023. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 30, 2023. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R22C5.

Back over prevention, sensing system, cameraSep 12, 2019
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Nissan Altima, Armada, Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Titan Diesel, Versa Note and Versa Sedan vehicles, as well as Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80 vehicles. Additionally included are 2019 Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.

CAR WILL SAY OBSTRUCTION AHEAD WHILE IN MOTION AND THEN DEAD STOP. THIS HAPPENS IN PARKING GARAGES, IF THE ROAD HAS A DIP AND A PUDDLE, UNDER BRIDGES, GOING AT SPEEDS FROM 5-15MPH. MOST RECENT TIME HAPPENED MAY 5 2018, THIS TIME IT DEAD STOPPED WITH A RED PHOTO MEANING COLLISION IN THE GARAGE, NOTHING WAS IN FRONT OF THE CAR THE CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT STOPPED, THE BREAKS WERE ROCK SOLID, CAR TOOK TIME TO MOVE AFTER GAS PEDAL WAS HIT. THIS IS A MULTIPLE TIME INCIDENT.
Service brakes, May 1, 2019
WHILE IN MOTION AT 10 MPH, WITH NO OBSTRUCTION ANYWHERE AROUND MY CAR, THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BREAKS DEPLOYED FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND IT SIGNIFICANTLY SLOWED MY CAR DOWN. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES ALREADY ON A STREET. I AM AFRAID THAT IT MIGHT HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY AND THAT I WILL BE REAR-ENDED. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THERE IS NO PRE-WARNING. THE CAR TAKES CONTROL OF THE BREAKS AND SLOWS IT DOWN FORCEFULLY AND ABRUPTLY. THIS PROBLEM IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS MIGHT CAUSE POTENTIAL HARM TO MYSELF, MY PASSENGERS, AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. IT MIGHT BE FATAL IF MY ROGUE DEPLOYS THE AEB ABRUPTLY AND FORCEFULLY ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS.
Electrical system, Service brakes, Apr 30, 2019
AEB ACTIVATES WHEN DRIVING CAUSING VEHICLE TO STOP SUDDENLY FOR NO REASON. THERE IS NOTHING TO TRIGGER THIS, VEHICLE JUST STOPS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES TO ME. NISSAN SENT OUT A NOTICE THAT THERE WAS A SOFTWARE UPGRADE AVAILABLE TO ELIMINATE THIS FROM HAPPENING. ONCE SOFTWARE WAS UPGRADED, HAPPENED 1 TIME AGAIN AS I APPROACHED RAILROAD TRACKS.. TOOK TO DEALER,VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 12,700 MILES, DEALER UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM. NISSAN HAS ACKNOWLEDGED "NO FIX" AND TO RETURN TO DEALER IF PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN. HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS CASE #35496726, WITH NO SATISFACTORY RESOLUTION. DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

DRIVING LOCAL IN CITY STREET HEADING STRAIGHT APROX. 25 MILES AN HOUR. BRAKE SYSTEM ENGAGED IN A LOCK UP CAUSING A GRINDING AN HAULT. HAPPENS FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS & THEN RELEASED BACK TO NORMAL. ALMOST CAUSING TO BE REAR ENDED. THIS IS NOT THE 1ST. TIME OF THIS OCCURRENCE TAKEN PLACE.
Service brakes, Apr 20, 2019
THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 35 MPH THE BREAKING SYSTEM ENGAGES FOR NO APPARENT REASON CAUSING THE CAR TO RAPIDLY SLOW TO ALMOST A STOP. IN BOTH CASES THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE TO CAUSE THIS. VEHICLE LOSES SPEED AT A RAPID PACE CAUSING THE OCCUPANTS TO BE THROWN FORWARD INTO THE SEATBELTS. ONCE AT VERY SLOW SPEED THE BREAKS RELEASE AND THE VEHICLE OPERATORS NORMAL. BOTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET WITH THE CAR IN DRIVE.
Service brakes, Apr 16, 2019
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BREAKS ENGAGE AT RANDOM TIMES. THERE IS NEVER ANYTHING IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE OR IN ITS PATH, BUT THE CAR BEEPS, SHAKES, AND THE BREAKS ENGAGE AT RANDOM MOMENTS.
Service brakes, Apr 15, 2019
DURING NORMAL DRIVING , DRY ROADS, IN BOTH DAYLIGHT AND NIGHT DRIVING EMERGENCY BRAKING ACTIVATED AND THERE WAS NO OBJECT IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND EVENTS ALSO OCCURRED AFTER VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR A "SOFTWARE UPDATE."
Service brakes, Apr 15, 2019
IN OCTOBER 2018, I WAS DRIVING MY NISSAN ROGUE WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL (PROPILOT) ACTIVATED. SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY, WITH NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, MY VEHICLE APPLIED THE BRAKES FOR A BRIEF PERIOD - MAYBE ONE SECOND - NOT LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE IT SKID. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER, AND THEY APPLIED SOFTWARE UPDATE NTB18-041A.TO REPROGRAM THE RADAR SENSOR. ON MARCH 9, 2019, THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN - I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 55 MPH ON INTERSTATE 81, WITH NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, AND MY VEHICLE APPLIED THE BRAKES SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE - IF ANOTHER VEHIICLE BEEN CLOSE BEHIND ME, IT COULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED OUR VEHICLE.

GOING HOME FROM WORK ON FRIDAY, GOING 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, MY VEHICLE BRAKED ON ITS OWN. THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE ROADWAY, IT WAS A CLEAR, SUNNY DAY. THANKFULLY, NO VEHICLE WAS CLOSE BEHIND ME. I IMMEDIATELY EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND WENT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE ROGUE. I EXPLAINED TO THE SERVICE PERSONNEL WHAT HAPPENED. HE DROVE THE VEHICLE AROUND THE PARKING LOT AND CAME BACK AND SAID IT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING AND CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT. HE SPOKE WITH HIS MANAGER, WHO TOLD THE SERVICE MAN THAT HIS ROGUE DOES IT AT TIMES, TOO. I SAID THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND IT'S DANGEROUS. I GOT NO RELIEF. I DECIDED TO SEE IF IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND LEFT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR HOME. LESS THAN A FEW BLOCKS FROM MY HOME, THE BRAKING PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS GOING 40 MPH. I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AS SOON AS I GOT HOME AND EXPLAINED IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND THE SERVICE PERSON ACTUALLY GOT SURLY WITH ME AND TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN AT 8:00 AM (SHARP) ON MONDAY FOR A CHECK WITH A TECHNICIAN. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED FOR FREE BY NISSAN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE SOMEONE'S VEHICLE CAUSES AN ACCIDENT AND CAUSES INJURY, OR WORSE, DEATH.
Service brakes, Apr 12, 2019
WHILE DRIVING AT A CONSTANT SPEED ON A STRAIGHT ROAD WITH CLEAR WEATHER AND NO OTHER CARS AROUND, THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB) SYSTEM ACTIVATED AND ABRUPTLY BROUGHT THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE WE LEASED THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2018. THE FIRST TIME WAS WITH 300 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM SO NOW WE ARE FORCED TO DISABLE THE AEB SYSTEM EVERY TIME WE DRIVE THE CAR. IT IS DEFINITELY NOT WHAT WE WANT TO DO BUT WE HAVE TO.
Service brakes, Apr 11, 2019
DRIVING THROUGH TOWN, USUALLY THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, MY CAR BEGINS ALARMING AND THEN DRAMATICALLY SLOWS DOWN, IF I GIVE IT GAS IT WILL GO AGAIN. IT HAPPENED TO ME 3 DIFFERENT TIMES, EACH TIME THERE WERE NOT PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME OR ANYTHING IN MY PATH. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE AND IT SHOULD BE FIXED. WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS IT DID IT AGAIN, AND THIS TIME I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 15 MPH, DUE TO CONSTRUCTION. AGAIN THERE WAS NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME, AND THE DASHBOARD ALARMED AND THEN IT DRAMATICALLY SLOWED AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY SAID IT MIGHT BE THAT MY MPH LIMIT WAS SET TO 10MPH ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT, THEY SHUT IT OFF AND SAID THAT WOULD HELP. LIKE I SAID, I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 15 MPH WHEN IT HAPPENED, SO I NOT CONFIDENT THAT THIS WILL FIX IT. IT HAS ONLY BEEN 3 DAYS SINCE THEY SHUT THAT FUNCTION OFF, SO I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED. THEN THIS MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK, MY COLLISION LIGHT WAS ON AND FLASHING, AND EVERY TIME I MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN, THE CAR SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING WAS GRINDING. I HATE THIS CAR AND AM INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTED.
Service brakes, Mar 31, 2019
THE CAR HAS AN AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM WHICH ENGAGES IF IT SENSES AN IMPENDING ACCIDENT, IT SHOWS A WARNING AND THEN TAKES CONTROL OF THE CAR AND BRAKES IF YOU DO NOT. THE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT MALFUNCTIONS AND ENGAGES WHEN THERE IS NO THREAT. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME SENERIO, NISSAN HAS ACTKNOWLEGED THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE - BUT HAS NO FIX FOR THE SENSOR ISSUE. MINE ENGAGED TWICE YESTERDAY WHILE I WAS ENTERING THE FREEWAY AT APP 30-40 MPH. THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND NO OBSTRUCTIONS. THE ROADS WERE DRY, IT WAS VERY WINDY OUT, THE RAMP TO THE FREEWAYS BOTH WAS AT A SLIGHT INCLINE WITH STRAIGHT ACCESS. THE CAR "SENSED" I WAS GOING TO HIT SOMETHING AND EMERGENTLY BRAKED OUT OF NOWHERE. THERE WERE CARS BEHIND ME THAT ALMOST HIT ME.
Service brakes, Mar 28, 2019
WHILE DRIVING 55MPH BRAKE SYSTEM ACTIVATED WITHOUT REASON, CLEAR DRY PAVED ROAD WITHOUT TRAFFIC OR OBSTRUCTIONS. HARD BRAKING BY SYSTEM FOR MAYBE 30 MPH DROP IN SPEED THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. DRIVER AND PASSENGER WERE SHOOK UP. FELT LIKE GOING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS WHERE THEIR WERE NONE. HAD THEIR BEEN CLOSE FOLLOWING TRAFFIC WE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. TOOK CAR TO DEALER WHO CHECKED IT OVER AND DID SOME KIND OF UPDATE.
Service brakes, Mar 22, 2019
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BREAK MAKES THE VEHICLE STOP MOVING WITHOUT ANY THING INFRONT THAT HAPPEN FOR 4 TIMES AND LAST LIME I WAS ON I65 NORTH TOWARD GALLATIN TN DRIVE ON 70 MPH THANKS GOODNESS NO ONE WAS RIGHT BEHIND ME AND ANOTHER THANKS TO THE TRUCK DRIVER COME ALSO TO A COMPLETE STOP BEHIND ME TO PROTECT ME FROM THE ONGOING TRAFFIC
Other or unspecified, Service brakes, Mar 22, 2019, crash
GOING UP A RAMP IN THE PARKING GARAGE, THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING ENGAGED WITH NO OBSTRUCTION, CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY STOP. CAR BEHIND ME DID NOT EXPECT SUDDEN STOP AND REAR ENDED ME.
Service brakes, Mar 8, 2019
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM ON MY VEHICLE INITIATES WHEN NOT NEEDED INTERMITTENTLY. NO VEHICLES, OBJECTS, ITEMS, CURBS, ETC IN VICINITY OR IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP FOR VOLUNTARY AEB UPDATE, PER NOTICE FROM NISSAN, AND DUE TO IT NOT BEING 'ACTIVE' CODE, UPDATE COULD NOT BE PERFORMED. WAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT CODE COULD BE SEEN AS HAVING 'POPPED', BUT DUE TO CAR HAVING BEEN TURNED OFF AND THEN TURNED ON PRIOR TO BEING AT DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION, THEIR MAINTENANCE PROCESSES PREVENT THE SOFTWARE UPDATE. IT WAS FURTHER EXPLAINED TO ME THAT ONCE I TURN CAR OFF AFTER THE AEB EVENT, THAT IT IS NO LONGER AN ACTIVE CODE, BUT BECOMES A PASSIVE CODE. THIS BECOMES AN ISSUE DUE THE VERY NATURE OF REQUIRING AN ACTIVE CODE, AS I WILL ASSUME THAT NOT ALL OWNERS ARE ABLE TO GO DIRECTLY FROM THE AEB ACTIVATION STRAIGHT TO A NISSAN DEALER (I MYSELF HAVE THIS ISSUE AS IT HAS REPEATEDLY HAPPENED TO ME IN THE MORNINGS ON MY WAY TO CAMPUS OR WORK AND AM UNABLE TO TAKE IT TO DEALER WITHOUT HAVING THE CAR TURNED OFF FOR SOME TIME.). THIS SHOULD BE ELEVATED TO A WARRANTY RECALL REGARDLESS OF ACTIVE CODE OR NOT, AS HAVING A SOFTWARE ISSUE REGARDING A BRAKING SYSTEM SHOULD BE CONSIDERED MORE THAN JUST INCONVENIENT.
Service brakes, Feb 18, 2019
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKE ACTIVATES (SLAMS ON BRAKES ACCOMPANIED BY VISUAL AND AUDIBLE WARNING) WITH NO VEHICLE OR OBSTRUCTION IN LANE AHEAD. VEHICLE WAS MOVING ON A CITY STREET. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE 3 MONTHS AND IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SO FAR. DEALER RAN SOFTWARE UPDATE, BUT DIDN'T CORRECT PROBLEM.

THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A FRONT RADAR SYSTEM WHICH WILL APPLY EMERGENCY BREAKING IF OBJECTS ARE SENSED TO BE IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHILE IT'S IN MOTION. ON JAN 29, 2019, MY VEHICLE ENGAGED EMERGENCY BRAKING WHILE I WAS CROSSING A RAILROAD CROSSING ON A ROUGH CITY STREET. THE VEHICLE BEGAN BEEPING, CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL AUTOMATICALLY PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN, AND WOULD NOT DRIVE UNTIL I PRESSED THE BRAKE. THIS LEFT ME SITTING ON AN ACTIVE RAIL CROSSING WITH A VEHICLE COMING UP BEHIND ME. THIS SIMILAR SITUATION HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL OTHER TIMES WHILE CROSSING UNDER BRIDGES AND ENTERING PARKING GARAGES BUT IN THOSE CASES, ONLY LIGHT BRAKING OCCURRED AND I WAS ABLE TO PROCEED WITHOUT NEEDING TO PRESS THE BRAKE.
Service brakes, Jan 26, 2019
WHILE DRIVING MOUNTAIN ROADS GOING UP THE VEHICLE STOPPED WHEN TURNING ON A CURVE. THE CAR BEEPPED THEN PAUSED. NEXT DAY ON THE 26TH WHILE GOING UP THE MOUNTAIN THE VEHICLE DIDN'T BEEP BUT DID STOP WHILE DRIVING IN 3RD GEAR. CAR DIDN'T START GOING AGAIN UNTIL PUTTING CAR IN DRIVE AND PRESSING THE GAS.
Service brakes, Jan 19, 2019
THE AEB (AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BREAKING) SYSTEM ON OUR 2018 NISSAN ROGUE MALFUNCTIONED, STOPPING OUR CAR ON THE ROADWAY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO TRAFFIC ANYWHERE NEAR OUR VEHICLE WHICH WAS TRAVELING STRAIGHT ON A 4 LANE ROAD AT APPROX 40 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD GROAN SOUND, STARTED SHAKING, BRAKES ACTIVATED, LIGHT FLASHED ON DISPLAY PANEL AND BEEPING SOUNDS. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY AND OR KILL PEOPLE. THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY FIXED IT BUT AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING RECURRENCE I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE WHATSOEVER IN THIS VEHICLE. WE NOW TURN THE AEB SYSTEM OFF EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. THIS IS A LEASE CAR, 1 YEAR OLD WITH 9,300 MILES. DEALER REPAIR PAPERWORK STATES: NEC TO REPROGRAM LASER / RADAR CONTROL UNIT ALONG WITH ICC / ADAS CONTROL UNIT PER BULLETIN NTB-041A.
Electrical system, Service brakes, Jan 17, 2019
WHILE DRIVING, THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM DASH LIGHT FLASHES. NISSAN SUGGESTS THE ISSUE IS DUE TO FROST. THE RADAR SENSOR IS LOCATED BEHIND THE FRONT GRILLE EMBLEM AND MAY BE BLOCKED DUE TO FROST BUILD UP. NISSAN CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE, AND THERE IS NO FIX. HOW CAN A VEHICLE'S BRAKING SYSTEM BE UNAVAILABLE, YET THERE IS NO ISSUE? THE ISSUE SHOULD BE RECALLED. PERHAPS RELOCATE THE SENSOR. ALSO, IF IT IS IN FACT DUE TO A FROSTY EMBLEM, THEY SHOULD ADD A HEATED EMBLEM TO PREVENT THE BUILD UP.

AEB MALFUNCTIONING BRAKES APPLY INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING WITH NO OBSTRUCTION IN FRONT OF THE CAR. VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A 40MPH SPEED LIMIT ROAD THE BRAKES APPLIED AND SHE JUST MISSED BEING REAR ENDED.
Electrical system, Vehicle speed control, Service brakes, Jan 2, 2019
THE AEB SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING. ON MULTIPLE OCCASSIONS THE CAR SUDDENLY BREAKS EVENTHOUGH THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE CAR. IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED TO ME WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY - GENERALLY THE ROADS ARE CLEAR. ON ONE OF THE MULTIPLE OCCASSIONS, CLEARING THE RADAR OF BUG SPLATTER SOLVED THE PROBLEM. ON ALL THE OTHER OCCASSIONS, THERE WAS NO OBSTRUCTION TO THE RADAR. THE BRAKES COME ON, THE AEB LIGHT ON THE CONSOLE COMES ON, A WARNING FLASHES, AND THEN THE CAR MOVES ON AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. AFTER DOING THIS SEVERAL TIMES OVER SEVERAL MILES, THE AEB LIGHT COMES ON AND IT DESPLAYS AN ERROR MESSAGE ABOUT THE FRONT RADAR IS NOT WORKING AND THE CRUISE IS DISABLED. ON ONE OF THE OCCASSIONS A LARGE PICKUP TRUCK TOWING A TRAILER WAS RIGHT BEHIND ME WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY PUT ON THE BRAKES. FORTUNATELY, HE WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE HITTING MY CAR. WHEN I HAD THE CAR SERVICED AT THE DEALER, I TOLD THE SERVICE REP ABOUT THE ISSUE. HE INDICATED THAT A SHADOW OR SOMETHING LIKE A LEAF BLOWN ACROSS THE RADAR CAN CAUSE IT TO REACT. I DID NOT NOTICE ANY OCCRENCE OF SUCH. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE FOLLOWING TO CLOSE WILL END UP RAMMING ME IN THE REAR END. AFTER DOING AN INTERNET SEARCH, I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE OCCURENCES OF THIS PROBLEM AND THAT NISSAN HAS SENT OUT SEVERAL TECHNICAL BULLETINS ABOUT THE PROBLEM. AS NOTED ABOVE, THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE EVENTS OF THIS TYPE. IT TYPICALLY HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY.

ON OCT 24TH I WAS ON MY WAY TO DRIVE MY AUTISTIC SON TO HIS DAY PROGRAM WHICH IS LESS THEN A MILE AWAY.
