The automatic emergency braking (aeb) system is engaging when there is no threat of an accident. It has happened twice with the most recent being 19jun2019. Both times I was accelerating from being stopped at a light. Both times system flashes orange, beeps, makes awful grinding noise, and slows the car down.
- Durham, NC, USA
When going through an intersection at approximately 40 or 45 mph, with no other vehicles visible in front or behind, the car gave a warning, flashed the safety system to red, and engaged the brakes. The car decelerated rapidly, the driver hit the brakes briefly, not long enough to come to a stop. The safety system went back to normal, the driver was able to accelerate and continue driving and the car behaved normally afterwards. This is the second time it has done this in a few week's time.

- Shirley, NY, USA
The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Rogue. While operating the vehicle, the brake assist randomly activated and caused the vehicle to decelerate and/or stop. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a representative was sent to examine the vehicle at priority Nissan (6390 richmond rd, williamsburg, va). The front sensors were replaced and a software update was performed, but the failures continued. Also, while in reverse, the rear sensors malfunctioned and failed to alert that a second vehicle was positioned in the rear, which could cause the driver to back into another vehicle. In addition, while driving with the cruise control engaged and set at 55 mph, the speed would increase on its own while driving on a curved road. The cause of the failures was not determined. The failure mileage was 5,000. As of 5/30/19 no volume with navigation system still, A/C not working right. Vehicle continues to jerk when pushing on the gas. Remote start not working again, Nissan connect has frozen up again. Consumer was told by the dealer there was nothing to repair or fix aside from the things that showed up on diagnostic's.

- Providence Forge, VA, USA
The contact rented a 2018 Nissan Rogue. While driving approximately 10 mph through a parking lot, the front driver's side wheel made contact with the side of a curb. After making contact with the curb, the vehicle suddenly accelerated to approximately 80 mph. During the incident, the vehicle made a sharp 90 degree turn and the steering wheel became very difficult to turn in either direction. The vehicle crashed into a commercial building. The vehicle penetrated the wall and stopped inside the building. Both the driver and front passenger suffered head and neck injuries, which required medical treatment. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not determined. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was unknown.

I was driving on a city street during a clear day at approximately 9am. The vehical was going 40mph when the front collision sensor activated the emergency braking system. There were no cars or obstacles around the vehicle. I was traveling in a straight line. The car suddenly stopped. After stopping, the vehicle returned to normal operation and the collision warning cleared. I have scheduled service to address my concerns with the front radar system.
- Saint Marys, GA, USA
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.
- Irving, TX, USA
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 two separate occasions, I was driving approximately 40 mph on a highway and my 2018 Nissan Rogue stopped suddenly and then started again. There was no other vehicle directly in front or behind me. The first time it happened my mileage was 3000+. the second time it happened I was driving approximately 20 mph in a residential neighborhood. My mileage was approximately 4,200. On both occasions I was going in a straight direction. My vehicle has also alerted me multiple times that there is a malfunction with the crash detector. I have uploaded a picture.

As a result, the contact crashed into a vehicle which, in turn, crashed into a parked vehicle. There were no injuries sustained; however, the contact was taken in for a medical check-up. The contact was unsure if a police report was filed. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed; however, a schedule was made to have the vehicle inspected by the insurance adjuster. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1,600.
