My car brakes locked up for no reason as I was driving. I-€™ve called Nissan they did a -€œreset-€ 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. 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.

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.

  • 32,000 miles
When driving and steering, turning left or right, going over bumps in the road, turning curves, there is a clicking noise in my steering column. When I put on brakes it does it also. I am not sure if there is something inside broken or loose. I have taken it to a Nissan dealer and they can't find anything, but they hear the noises, the service manager even recorded the noises. My seat slides on the power racking system. My seat will side from front to back, only a fraction, but it also slides or rocks from left to right. I am afraid that the seat will come unattached if I am in a collision. The ABS will often make the flashing noise and attempt to brake if it sees a shadow on the road, like a parking garage or trees over a road. I have asked the Nissan dealer in asheboro several times and they can't find any issues with the 3 problems that I have listed. Granted I did not purchase from them, so they really don't want to assist me. I purchased the extra warranties, bumper to bumper, and that has not given me any assistance as well. Please help. I want to get rid of this unfit car but I will not be able to because of the noises it is making. This started at about 31,000 and now I have 47,000, numerous trips to a dealer to no resolve. I have had the right- wheel, tire rods or brakes something replaced 3 times, I have had a new heating/air, steering grommet $ $194, out of pocket, break gasket, $50, and these noises that are so bad that I can't stand to drive the car, for over 1 years or so now.

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.

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.

While driving the car, the emergency braking system was activated while nothing was in front of the car. This is the second time that this is happened to me, and the first time the part was replaced free of charge due to it being under my warranty. In this situation, the part is not being replaced and I have been in contact with Nissan corporate who refused to take any responsibility for the defective part. They also refused to replace the part, stating that it is outside my vehicles warranty.

2017 Nissan Rogue sl - platinum. Forward impact collision sensor has been having issues for ever a year now. It was in the shop at the dealership the week after I bought it for this issue. The car brakes on its own and wont let you drive forward. I have taken it to the dealership and reported it to Nissan usa multiple times, and have multiple cases open. The dealership has had it in their shop 8 times soon to be 9, which is 8-9 full days in the shop (taking it in next week to get done again). They are now refusing to replace/fix the part for free. The car has this problem when I am trying to drive. It has happened on back streets, highways, turning left, turning right. It senses something that isn't there and errors out and stops. 10-30 seconds later it lets you go again. This has been happening between March 2019 and May 2020 nonstop reprogrammed multiple times replaced sensor 1X (replacing for the second time next week so 2X total replacements on part) re-calibrated multiple times computer updated multiple times.

I was driving around 40 mph on a straight city street approaching a part of the road that dipped under a bridge. My car's emergency breaking engaged slowing my speed to about 20 mph before the breaks released. Luckily there was nobody else on the road (behind me) and I did not panic. Otherwise, this could have been a dangerous situation. Given that no accident occurred, I do not have pictures to share.

Monterey window sticker states my vehicle has equipped forward emergency braking. This is supported by a 2017.5 rouge press kit release publication Nissan media. This important safety function recently failed to apply the brakes and vehicle rear ended another car. This feature never worked. I feel cheated by Nissan. Vehicle in motion at the time.

My car is Nissan Rogue 2017.5. I am facing an issue related to automatic emergency break malfunction. The emergency break was applied without any reason while I was going in parking garage, passing under bridges, and crossing railroad. Sometimes the forward emergency break warning light was blinking without any reason even when the car was parked. I called Nissan consumer affaires on this issue. I was told to go to the dealer. I took my car to the dealership for 5 times. They did sensor change two times. First time they did front sensor change. Second time they did steering sensor change. Other times they tested and told there is no issue as they were unable to replicate the issue. This issue is not being happened frequently. Last night I faced the same issue. I do not know how to proceed further.
