Rogue

  • 52,000 miles
About 2 months after fixing a recall on the aeb system on my 2018 Nissan Rogue, my car's aeb system engaged while driving 75 mph on the interstate causing my vehicle's antilock brakes to kick on and beep a warning to slow down because my car's sensor believed something was in front of me. There was nothing in front of me for miles and fortunately, no one was behind me to slam in to me. My local dealership stated that the problem was a faulty icc sensor, which works complementary with the vehicle's aeb system. Fortunately, it will only cost me the $100 deductible on my extended warranty because at 52K miles, I'm over warranty, but Nissan needs to correct this problem to be a safety issue and fix regardless of the mileage on each vehicle.

My Rogue has been brought in 4 times for safety issues. I have contacted Nissan and not getting anywhere. All my sensor lights came on and ABS. My car broke on the freeway going 70 mph to 50 mph. Luckily no one was behind me. That happened in May 2019. I was terrified to drive and used my husband's car. I looked up and they said if ABS lights you should not drive and have it towed because it could start a fire! then it happened again and I was on a side street going 40 mph and it braked to 30 and there wasn't anything in front of me. I don't want to drive this car at all. I want them to just take it back. I drive as a home care nurse for a living and it is not safe when driving is a big part of my job. I have brought ther car in 4 times! not safe!!!!

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.

Rogue

  • 24,000 miles
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!

Rogue

  • 3,000 miles
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.
