MY 2018 NISSAN ROGUE HAS HAD THE AUTO BRAKES (AEB) KICK IN AND CAUSE MY CAR TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON MULTIPLE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHEN THERE WAS NO HAZARD, CAR OR PEDESTRIANS IN THE ROAD. IT HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST FIVE SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND THE LAST THREE TIMES I WAS BARELY ABLE TO AVOID BEING REAR ENDED. IT HAS HAPPENED ON SIDE STREETS, HIGHWAY AND ON INTERSTATE ROADS ON VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM 30 MPH TO 75 MPH. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED WITHOUT CHARGE TO CUSTOMERS. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE SO WE WOULD HAVE A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE OUR CHILDREN IN AND THIS IS IMPEDING ON THE SAFETY STANDARDS OF THIS OTHERWISE GREAT VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE STALLS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AFTER A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND TRAFFIC LIGHT. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FROM THE YEAR 2020 UNTIL NOW, MARCH 22ND, 2021. THE ACCELERATION STALLS HAVE ALMOST CAUSED ABOUT THREE ACCIDENTS SO FAR IN BUSY INTERSECTIONS IN NORTH JERSEY. I HAVE BROUGHT THE SUV INTO NISSAN SERVICE CENTER THREE DIFFERENT TIMES AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS, 'SCANNED VEHICLE, NO DTC CODES FOUND AT THIS TIME NPF NO PROBLEM FOUND AT THIS TIME'. I HAVE MULTIPLE VIDEO DOCUMENTATION SHOWING A HIGH RPM OF 3-4 WHILE VEHICLE'S MPH IS BARELY PASSING 20MPH, RESULTING TO THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT APPEARING AND THE MALFUNCTION ERROR MESSAGE ILLUMINATING ON THE DASHBOARD.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED MY 2018 NISSAN ROGUE IN AUGUST OF 2020 AND AS OF MARCH 2021, I'VE HAD 5 INSTANCES WHERE THE FRONT RADAR SYSTEM FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE MALFUNCTIONED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE FRONT RADAR SENSOR IS PART OF THE INTELLIGENT FORWARD WARNING SYSTEM IN NISSANS AND ITS JOB IS TO DETECT THE DISTANCE BETWEEN VEHICLES. THE SENSOR IS TIED TO THE CRUISE CONTROL AND EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM. THE FAULT CONSISTS OF A FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION WARNING LIGHT MALFUNCTION ILLUMINATING LEADING TO THE DISENGAGEMENT OF THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE (IF ENGAGED PRIOR TO THE MALFUNCTION) OR THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM BECOMING DISABLED. ALSO, WHEN THE FAULT APPEARS, THE BRAKES ARE ABRUPTLY APPLIED BEFORE BEING RELEASED WHICH IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER AS YOUR RELYING ON THE INTEGRITY OF YOUR BRAKING SYSTEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY MENTIONED THAT THERE WERE NO CURRENT RECALLS IN PLACE FOR THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE AND THAT THE SYSTEM WOULD NEED TO BE UPDATED WITH THE LATEST SOFTWARE UPDATE TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM IS CORRECTED. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY APPROXIMATELY $150 TO INSTALL THE UPDATE TO THE SYSTEM, WHICH TO ME SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE COMPANY DUE TO IMPLIED SAFETY ISSUES. I WAS SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT A RECALL WAS NOT IN PLACE FOR THIS SYSTEM, CONSIDERING THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE SINCE 2014 AND YET THE NISSAN COMPANY HAS YET TO ISSUE ANY TYPE OF SAFETY RECALL FOR THE ROGUE MODELS, HENCE MY SAFETY COMPLAINT. I FEAR THAT IF THIS PROBLEM ISN'T CORRECTED SOON AN UNSUSPECTING DRIVER COULD GET HURT!

IF I HAVE SAFETY SHIELD TURNED ON , THE CAR ATTEMPTS TO BREAK WHEN OTHER CARS DRIVE NEXT TO ME. THERE WILL NOT BE ANY CARS IN FRONT OF ME, BUT THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTS TO BREAK. I HAVE TO APPLY MORE GAS TO KEEP MY CAR FROM STOPPING WHEN IT SHOULDN'T. I KEEP REPORTING THIS ISSUE TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY ASSURE ME EVERYTHING IS FINE. I HAVE ALSO MADE IT A POINT TO WIPE THE CRASH SENSORS AND CAMERAS CLEAN BEFORE DRIVING, BUT I AM STILL HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I AM ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM WHEN USING THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE. IF CRUISE CONTROL IS SET ON, THERE IS A DELAY OF ABOUT 2-5 SECONDS WHEN THE CAR TRIES TO AUTOMATICALLY BREAK. FOR EXAMPLE, IF MY CRUISE CONTROL IS SET ON, A CAR WILL TURN IN FRONT OF ME AND THEN MOMENTS LATER MY CAR RANDOMLY BREAKS AS IF THE CAR IS STILL IN FRONT OF ME. IF I AM APPROACHING ANOTHER CAR, THE AUTOMATIC BREAKS APPLY VERY LATE IF CRUISE CONTROL IS SET ON. I KEEP BRINGING THESE ISSUES TO THE DEALERSHIP'S ATTENTION AND HAVE EVEN PAID FOR A FULL INSPECTION, BUT THEY ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. THE CAR KEEPS BREAKING UNEXPECTEDLY AND I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND I. WE DO NOT WANT TO BE IN A SITUATION WHEN THE CAR BREAKS UNEXPECTEDLY AND CAUSES A FATAL CRASH BECAUSE OF THIS.

DRIVING EAST ON I-94 NEAR BATTLE CREEK, MI AT HIGHWAY SPEED IN CRUISE CONTROL WITH MY WIFE AND 3 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER THE BRAKES APPLIED HARD. HAD TO STAND ON THE GAS AND WAS FIGHTING THE BRAKES BRAKES THAT WERE STILL APPLIED TO GET BACK TO 60 TO KEEP FROM BEING RUN OVER. PULLED OVER AND SHUT IT OFF. FOUND ICING ON THE FRONT SENSOR. RESTARTED CAR AND FAULT CLEARED. PROCEEDED ON HIGHWAY AND IT WORKED FOR A BIT BUT FAULT SHOWED UP AGAIN BUT WITHOUT THE HARD BRAKING. SHUT OFF THE AUTO BRAKING WHICH ALSO SHUTS OFF CRUISE CONTROL. IT WAS SNOWING SOME ON THAT TRIP. OUR RETURN TRIP THE NEXT DAY IT WAS SUNNY AND WE HAD NO PROBLEMS. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS A FUEL MILEAGE HISTORY THAT SHOWS UP WHEN YOU SHUT THE CAR OFF. IT SHOWED 10 MPG FOR THAT SHORT STINT WHEN WE HAD THE PROBLEM, OTHERWISE 26 MPG FOR ALL THE OTHER STINTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COLE NISSAN IN KALAMAZOO, MI WHERE THEY HAD IT FOR TWO WEEKS. WE DESCRIBED HOW THE INSTRUMENT LIGHT WOULD FLASH ON AND OFF SOMETIMES BEFORE THIS, BUT HAD NEVER APPLIED THE BRAKES LIKE THIS. WHEN WE WENT TO GET THE CAR WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO CODE SET AND THEY TESTED THE SENSORS AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. INTERESTINGLY, WE DIDN'T GET ANY SORT OF SERVICE REPORT OR PAPERWORK. DOES THAT MEAN THEY AREN'T REPORTING IT? THE SERVICE GUY TOLD US SOMETHING ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION BEING IN TOO LOW OF A GEAR AND THEY DIDN'T FIND A CODE THAT THE BRAKES HAD APPLIED. MAKES NO SENSE. THIS CAR SHOULD NOT REACT TO SNOW ON THE FRONT OF THE CAR BY LOCKING THE BRAKES OR "DOWNSHIFTING". THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.

PE19010 · False Automatic Emergency Braking

Opened Sep 9, 2019 · No close date supplied

Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Forward Collision Avoidance: Automatic Emergency Braking

NHTSA received a defect petition (DP19-001) from the Center for Auto Safety (CAS) on March 21, 2019 alleging that the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system on Model Year (MY) 2017-2018 Nissan Rogue and Rogue Sport vehicles was engaging in cases where there was no obstruction in the path of the vehicle. The CAS petition additionally alleges that, based on Nissan's actions, the manufacturer is aware of the issue due to issuing a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) launching two "Quality Actions," and initiating a "Customer Service Initiative" in relation to it. CAS contends that Nissan's actions do not represent an adequate long-term solution to the problem, as the action is only available during the basic coverage period of the warranty. CAS also argues that the alleged failures are an unreasonable risk to safety and views Nissan's communications as not acknowledging the potential safety issue involved, instead treating the alleged problem as a performance update.The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) analyzed Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) complaints received from consumers and identified a total of 129 unique subject vehicle reports (for all submission dates) alleging a false positive triggering of AEB. Of these complaints, three were identified that contained allegations of a collision resulting from the activation of the system, and all three indicating related injuries.In response to ODI's April 15, 2019 Information Request letter, Nissan provided data indicating that it has received 750 unique subject vehicle complaints relating to false positive activation of the AEB system. Of these complaints, 12 were identified that contained allegations of a collision resulting from the activation of the system. Four complaints contained allegations of injuries, three of which were the result of a collision. These complaints included duplicates of complaints that ODI received. The injury allegations were limited to soft tissue type injuries such as whiplash and bruising.Based on its review of the information identified to date, ODI has granted the petition and is opening this preliminary evaluation in order to evaluate the cause, scope and frequency of AEB false positive activations, as well as to evaluate the suitability of the manufacturer's campaign to address the concern or improve performance of the AEB system. The complaints cited can be viewed at NHTSA.gov under the following ODI identification numbers: 11230875, 11230481, 11230361, 11229400, 11229302, 11229294, 11228994, 11223074, 11222925, 11222644, 11220499, 11218713, 11218608, 11217157, 11210334, 11210256, 11210148, 11209127, 11209032, 11207333, 11205931, 11205717, 11205661, 11205172, 11205124, 11205027, 11204803, 11204349, 11204324, 11196805, 11196561, 11196466, 11196091, 11195938, 11195574, 11194380, 11193989, 11192761, 11192283, 11192063, 11190855, 11190840, 11189976, 11187374, 11186903, 11185890, 11185883, 11185132, 11183406, 11180813, 11174713, 11173666, 11173302, 11172299, 11171331, 11170989, 11165434, 11164646, 11162898, 11162502, 11162396, 11161413, 11161230, 11155985, 11155209, 11155181, 11154181, 11153607, 11153334, 11151373, 11151028, 11142595, 11142557, 11142386, 11141775, 11141433, 11141387, 11141347, 11140604, 11139711, 11139226, 11133402, 11132376, 11130998, 11130662, 11129949, 11128704, 11124099, 11123564, 11123353, 11123321, 11122783, 11119475, 11119300, 11118604, 11115088, 11113479, 11113371, 11112371, 11111659, 11111057, 11110919, 11110689, 11104075, 11103844, 11103437, 11102715, 11102333, 11100117, 11099313, 11091006, 11089960, 11089798, 11089533, 11088815, 11088718, 11081072, 11079453, 11073644, 11072718, 11065505, 11061598, 11057739, 11056061, 11055766, 11048349, 11035301, 11033225, and 10972343.
