Rogue

  • 17,500 miles
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.

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.

Rogue

  • 500 miles
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.

Rogue

  • 38,000 miles
2018 Nissan Rogue - out of the blue, dashboard light flashes "warning malfunction" and the emergency brake light icon comes on. The vehicle also by itself started braking making it hard to drive. There were no cars in front of me. I turned the car off, waited a few minutes and turned the car back on and the warning light was gone. This happened again a few days later while I was driving, again, no cars or anything blocking my way - car is braking on its own. Taking car to dealer for service to be looked at - saw similar issues having been posted on the web.

Rogue

  • 11,800 miles
Aeb (automatic emergency braking) disables itself automatically. The system turned itself off when I was driving at 40mph. The system thinks there is an obstruction when their is nothing in front of you. This defeats the purpose of the system to stop you in an emergency. Make Nissan change the radar. This is a safety issue.
