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.

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.

Rogue

  • 5,600 miles
I was travelling in my vehicle when I came to a red traffic light and stopped. Once the light turned green, I proceeded to go forward when my vehicle seemed to slowed down on its own. When I stepped on the gas pedal, it seemed the vehicle didn't want to move forward. The other issue is that this morning I was driving in my vehicle when all of a sudden some sensors seemed to be set off. I then pulled over and turned of the ignition. I was then able to start my vehicle and proceed to my destination without another occurrence.

My Nissan Rogue 2018 has an issue with the forward collision avoidance. I started experiencing this problem as soon as I bought it in March 2018. The first time it happened was on a normal road, I was driving at about 40mph and just crossing an intersection the car emitted few beeps and slowed down for about 3 seconds and then went back to normal speed. After that episode I took the car back to the dealer on March 30th to check it. The result was that there was no error code and all was working as normal. I took the car back and the same issue happened few other times. When passing through that same intersection the same issue happened maybe other 5 times. It usually happens in intersections when passing below traffic lights. Just 2 days ago on the 4th it happened inside a garage when I was going at 20 mph. I am seeing a lot of complaints on this and Nissan is not doing anything. I like the car but I cannot keep it with this defect.

Takata recall. I brought a brand new 2018 Nissan Rogue in April of 2018. My engine light came on and the car only has 9000 miles on it. I took in to the dealer and they claim the light is on because a rodent chewed the wires belonging to the harness. At 1st I was given a loner vehicle and told my transmission was having problems. On Friday I took the car to the dealership. They were very unprofessional from the beginning. Now 4 days later they tell me a mouse ate my wires and that's not something they cover for a harness and now they want to reverse the charges for the loaner car making it a rental. Also my gas gauge off and on displays empty and the car is full of gas. My car is driven everyday there is no way a rodent if any type would even ever survive I'm my car. This is utterly ridiculous. Nissan just does not want to repair the vehicle. They told me it's not there problem it's a machine and they break down.

Rogue

  • 75 miles
I purchased a new 2018 rouge 12/17/18 with 57 miles on the odemeter. On the way home the breaks engaged for no apparent reason on the highway. The next morning the breaks engaged several times for no reason and a breaking malfunction warning came on. I took it back to the dealership for repairs. After picking it up on the interstate going 75 mph the breaks rapidly engage nearly causing an accident. I have read on multiple sites this isn't an isolated case- nisson is going to cause a death if they don't take action.

Rogue

Takata recall: My front sensor goes off and 'beeps' at me when there's nothing in front of me, my back up camera freezes while in reverse and goes black, and my entire screen goes black occasionally. When my sensor goes off, it has done it while at 70 mph while on the freeway and even force braked for me. I bought a brand new car and pay a lot of money monthly to have this car, I expect it to work accordingly. I've taken it in multiple times and I basically get told 'tough'.

I started noticing the headlights not turning on upon start up in my garage, they have been set on auto turnon since I bought it in August. Driving on cloudy, overcast, foggy days not turning on. Nov.22, approx. 6 pm, started car, could see that headlights were on with drl on. Put in gear, backed out, on a city street, drove down street on headlights went off. Had to park, turn vehicle on/off, turn headlights on/off manually before they came back on. They were set on auto when this happened. Took it in to dealer Nov.26, they said no recalls/updates and working. Took off, drove 15-20 minutes and the dash/radio/headlights all blinked off then back on."?" obviously this is a major safety issue when they go off in the dark and I'm driving. Radio/maps issue. The radio randomly stops playing. One time touched maps button to turn off and the whole thing froze up. Radio not working, maps not working. I was driving down the highway/or city street when this happens. Totally random events. After it had been turned off for approx. 20 minutes, restarted car and it was working again. On Nov.23 radio quit playing again. I've already taken it into the dealer 2 times for this issue. Drove straight to dealer, setup to take in Nov.26. They checked it no new updates, opened technical ticket and was told they would call me. Called me later that afternoon, said Nissan aware of the issue and working on a fix which could be new update ( no good), maybe replace the radio or the computer in the car. No dates given as to when this might happen. Told just go ahead and drive it.this has happened multiple times when driving. What with this radio issue and now the headlight issue something needs to be done.

Rogue 4-cyl

  • 9,800 miles
Multiple occurrences of car tire pressure monitoring system warning light appearing on dash and it seemed the brakes were going on too, without being applied. But I didn't believe that could happen on its own. It happened one time on expressway but I thought I must have hit a pothole (car was pretty new then) and happened multiple times on surface streets. Dealership told me tire pressure was not even and that sensor was very sensitive. Why the car was braking was beyond me, but was attributed to uneven tire pressure. It happened again and this time tire pressure was at 33 psi on all tires (recommended number on each tire), so I brought it to dealer again. This time it was thoroughly examined and I was questioned thoroughly on the situations when this happened. The collision monitoring system unit(s) were replaced. Car had 9,800 miles. The tire pressure monitoring system was fine. Scary situation and I must admit I'm apprehensive to be driving it still. But, it's a lease so I'm committed. I should find comfort in the fact that the parts were replaced, however, I'm not yet comfortable. So, I thought it needed to be reported so others can be aware.
