While in motion (approximately 45-50 mph) on a bridge approaching a highway my vehicle self-braked. I did not brake, the vehicle did. There was nothing close to me, in front, or behind me at the time. The vehicle was screeching from the braking. Once I was able to control the vehicle, I got off the highway. I contacted my dealership and they weren't phased, I was told perhaps the sensor probably saw something. This is not safe, and I am very concerned to drive my vehicle.

I was driving to work this morning at 6:25am about 35 mph on a major road, not highway, when the automatic vehicle brakes stopped the car suddenly. The brakes showed up in the display. There was nothing in front of me, clear road, no rain. I was shaken up a bit, the brakes released

Twice I have gotten this error (see attached photos) while merging onto interstate in March 2019 I only took photos the first time and once I have had the brakes automatically attempt to stop the car on a regular road in July 2019.

My Nissan Rogue has experienced the same issue 3 times in a 2 month period. 1st time - driving, crossing a busy intersection front end shuddered, shook heavily, check engine light came on. I was able to drive it to local mechanic who ran diagnostics and stated there were too many codes regarding the electric system and recommended I take it to dealership. Took it to local dealer, diagnostics were run again, and they reported they were not sure of the issue, suspected damage to the maf sensor (which was then throwing off the report of all other sensors). They replaced it with Nissan manufactured part and electric tape and I was told it was good to go. 2nd time - stationary making a left onto busy main street, car shuddered, stalled, no check engine light completely stopped. Unable to drive it, when changing gears it just coasted backwards (due to the hill I was on). Had it towed to the same dealer, told the same thing as previous visit 'not sure what's wrong, probably the sensor, ' was told they replaced it again with Nissan manufactured part and 'taped up real good this time.' However could not guarantee it wouldn't happen again, also still no idea what exactly caused the stalling. 3rd time- driving straight after being stopped at res light, car stalls, engine light back on, and unable to drive it. The car coasted to the nearest shoulder and now waiting for a tow truck to take me to a different dealership, whom hopefully can fix the problem that continues to happen.

Takata recall 2 occasions vehicle was in motion, once 35+ mph and 40mph. Car literally stopped in the middle of the road with moving traffic. Dealership claimed it was the sensor the first time & switched it. Happened second time today & almost caused multiple fatal wrecks. Both times on busy roads & this time exiting a bridge into on coming traffic and multiple lanes. I'm scared to drive this vehicle. Bought it brand new. Fist couple months had sent video and reported on 3 occasions where the radio screen was also defective and they replaced it. On both occasions this has been traumatizing and just looking at the computer is not enough! I put down $8K and traded in a vehicle to buy my first new car, only for it to become a death trap!

While moving at both highway speeds or speeds between 20 -40 mph, the emergency braking system would engage without warning and without an object in front of the vehicle. This would cause the brakes to engage, the vehicle to shudder until I could re-take control, and an error alert on the dash board. The dealer's recommendation was to turn off the radar assisted emergency braking every time I got into the vehicle, as it was a "flawed technology". after multiple events and trips to the dealer, they replaced the part and updated the software.

Aeb system randomly alerts or engages while driving even with no obstructions. Error says "unavailable front radar due to obstructions" no obstructions are visible on road. Occurs while driving 10-20mph or 50+ on highway. Second complaint, infotainment system randomly restarts/reboots on its own during the day.

On two separate occasions (7/5/2019 & 7/15/2019) the car engaged its automatic emergency braking system (alerted and braked to a stop suddenly) while in motion for no apparent reason. Both events happened in the same location (on a highway under an overpass bridge) with no cars or other obstructions in the path of the vehicle.

The car's automatic emergency braking system brakes suddenly without warning and randomly. It does so without any obstacles or obstructions visible, or when vehicles are in the vecinity while driving. This proposed safety feature in actuallity has made these experiences feel it as unsafe. I have had this problem for a year and a half. To remedy the situation I have turned off the automatic braking feature off, since it does not work. And on the contrary it actually makes the SUV feel more unsafe.

Rogue

  • 6,067 miles
The automatic braking system engaged for no reason while traveling forward at 30mph. This happened on a city street with a slight decline and no cars around the vehicle. There was a sharp deceleration accompanied by a grinding sound. This lasted a brief second or two, then the vehicle resumed forward motion. The vehicle did not come to a complete stop. This is the second time this has happened with this vehicle. The last time it happened (the first week we had the vehicle) the dealer replaced the distance sensor. Obviously there is still a problem.
