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.
MAINTENANCE-'OTHER' LIGHT COMES ON AFTER STARTING AUTO. SERVICE TECH 'DISCONNECTED' WARNING WITHOUT DETECTING WHAT WARNING WAS ABOUT. AUTO WAS IN FOR REGULAR SERVICE. SERVICE ADVISER WAS CONTACTED NEXT DAY WITH ZERO RETURN CALLS WITHIN TWO DAYS.

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 RECOMMENDAT…

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.
THE CAR STOPS WHILE ACCELERATING EVEN THOUGH NO CAR IN FRONT OR BACK. THERE WAS A BEEPING SOUND. IT ALREADY HAPPENED TWICE.

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.

2PE19010 · 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.
