While driving the ABS randomly brakes and a malfunction warning comes on while on the highway which can cause an accident Nissan will not fix it without charging 1300 dollars when there is a class action low suit on this issue. You can disable the feature but a malfunction warning still comes and beeps loudly.

Several times since I bought the car brand new, my automatic emergency braking system has activated for no apparent reason while driving with myself and children in the vehicle. The car gives a verbal warning that there is an obstruction in the road where there is nothing there, then with no time to react, it automatically brakes. This has happened at least 10-15 times since owning the vehicle. I've had the sensors replaced and done everything I can to try to get help with this vehicle. Nissan advised me that there's nothing else that can be done

I purchased this car brand new. 2 weeks later I was diving on the freeway and the park brake system light went and bam the brakes hit. Scared the crap out of me. I've owned this car for 8 months now. Its happened to me 6 times already. The bad thing is you never can predict it. I've taken it to the local dealer and all they tell me is that they can get it to duplicate. So I went on line to do my own research and found a bunch of other people with the same issue. I am elderly so I was starting to think I was going crazy and also the Nissan dealer was making me out to be as well. I purchased a new car so I could be safe. I feel like I'm driving around a loaded unpredictable gun. These incidents happened on the freeway going South I25 of albuquerque. The other happened on bridge and isleta abg 87105. Downtown area albuquerque twice. Fee way I40 going East of albuquerque. I will be installing a camera to make sure it documented for further action. Because it will happen again.

Since purchasing this vehicle used in Dec 2019 there has been many occasions of the forward alert for collision activating and there was no other cars near the front of the vehicle, it flashes on the dash so quickly and goes off before we can see what it's saying.there has also been many occasions of the automatic breaking activating and auto breaking while driving at various speeds including on the interstate and leaving the interstate onto off ramps as well as normal city driving. Just recently found this reporting site and as we are afraid of a rear end collision happening if this is not addressed with Nissan.

Rogue

Leased a 2018 Nissan Rogue in August of 2018 and started having electrical issues with the vehicle. While driving, the navigation screen, center cluster where the speedometer is and all air condition and electronics would power off and restart itself, as if I was cranking the vehicle up. Took the car in for service and the dealership stated they had never seen this issue before and that they didn't know how to fix it. The dealership called me the next day stating the car was ready. On my way home from the dealer, the sensor system that works with the automatic emergency braking failed. I totaled the vehicle and fractured C5, C6, C7 in my neck, and had to wear a cervical collar for 4 months following the accident. I also suffered a concussion. Nissan took over and started they needed to perform an investigation. They found an issue with the sensor system in the car, and the aeb was not functioning. This could have all been avoided. 10 months later they send out a customer service initiative to have the car updated and looked at again. However the car was no longer in my possession.

Rogue

The front crash light started flashing out of the blue and then the car slammed on the brakes and brought it to a complete stop and it was a completely clear night with no traffic around me. There was zero reason for it to do that! I was going almost 70 mph on a country road and there was not an animal or another car anywhere in sight. It happened twice that the light came on and the first time, I pulled over, killed the car, opened my door and reset it and started driving again. It came on again and then slammed the brakes on. Luckily there was no one behind me or I probably would have been in an accident! I took a video just prior to the car slamming on the brakes.

I was sitting at a light with a car in front of me. The car in front of me started moving so I accelerated slowly and my car started beeping and then the breaks locked up. I was not too close to the car in front of me so I am worried as to why this happened. If there had been a car behind me, they probably would have hit us my car stopped so quickly.

I am driving forward at 55 mph on a main road in the city. There were absolutely no cars in front, on sides, or behind me. Then warning flashes on dash quickly and immediately after warning display my car slammed to a stop. I was slammed forward into the steering wheel. It was the automatic braking system that is malfunctioning apparently.

The breaking system on my 2018 Nissan Rogue driving 50mph slammed on the breaks and caused my car to stop without warning, a red light came on and I was whipped forward. There was no traffic in front of me and 2 cars behind that would have hit me as I was able to get off side of road. This would have been a fatal accident. We have contacted our Nissan dealer who said they have never heard of this,

I was driving on a city street, came up to an intersection to make a left hand turn and all of a sudden the car put on the brakes and jolted me and my passenger forward. There was no car in front of me or behind me at this time. I seen the warning come for no reason. I am a little nervous about driving the vehicle at this point.

I was just leaving my job, and driving down a local, double yellow-lined road, doing about 35-40 mph, when my 2018 Nissan Rogue's automatic breaking system suddenly, and aggressively engaged, causing the entire vehicle to shudder, and make a horrible noise, along with flashing orange, triangle warning light. The terrifying part about it, was that there was absolutely nothing in front of me, and thankfully no one behind me. I pulled over, and had a small nervous breakdown. This is an extreme safety issue! I don't want to think about what could have happened, had I been on the expressway or had my daughter in the car, and there was an accident! Nissan should absolutely recall the cars affected by this! not just issue bulletins to dealership's. unacceptable. I'm calling the dealership tomorrow, to find out what can be done. Now, I'm afraid to drive my car.

The automatic emergency braking system constantly activates while driving. I am worried I will get in a wreck. I have had Nissan look at it and have had the update done and I still have the same issue. I have spoken with the region representative and Nissan will not do anything about it and I am told I can take it to the dealership to have it looked at. It has happened hundreds of times since I have purchased it.

I would like to report an issue with the vehicles automatic braking assistance system. While driving the car on an avenue, the car just stopped completely with no other traffic in the area. No one in front or behind. The car came to a complete stop and I and my passenger where thrown forward with the seat belts tightening around us. The car has also slowed down on major streets and highways.

Rogue

  • 37,450 miles
As I was driving on a city street on 09/03/2020 my car decided to stop automatically by itself in the middle of the street. The breaks locked up and the steering as well, I was thrown forward almost hitting my head off the steering wheel, I didn't because I had my seatbelt on, thank goodness. If there was another vehicle behind me I would have most likely died. This is completely unacceptable and should not be happening. I called the dealer where I had purchased it from, performance Kia in moosic, pa and they can not get me in for a whole week which is also unacceptable because I have to drive it in order to get my children around and myself to work, this is scary and needs to be resolved. I noticed plenty of other people complaining about this issue as well!

Rogue

Happened about 6 months ago while driving home from a friends house. Suddenly the car made an awful sound and the brakes locked. Scared the crap out of me. Took it to the dealer and they checked the brakes-saw nothing. Was driving yesterday down the street going about 25 miles per hr and the brakes suddenly engaged with that horrible sound again, everything in the middle seat flew to the front, flung me into the steering wheel-chest first and the car behind me barely swerved around me to avoid an accident. I am terrifed to drive this car again! I cannot believe it. I paid a lot of money for my car and to be afraid to drive it again for fear of an accident or losing my or anyone else's life is scary!!! please help us who purchased these cars!!

Keep getting warning message while driving - this warning appears when the blind spot warning/lane departure warning or forward collision warning systems are not functioning properly. The breaks while driving will seem to shake. Like I don't have control of them. Water coming in through the hatch/trunk of car. So many problems with this brand new car.
