THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKE KEEPS COMING ON WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN ON ROADS WHERE I AM THE ONLY CAR AND IT HAS HAPPENED AND MOST RECENTLY ON THE HIGHWAY WITH CARS SPEEDING BEHIND ME ALMOST HITTING ME. THERE ARE NO OBSTRUCTIONS OR CARS IN FRONT OF ME WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING.
MY VEHICLE BREAKS BY ITSELF AS I AM DRIVING WHEN THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME AND DRIVER SEAT MOVES BACK AND FORTH. THERE ARE OTHER SENSORS COMING ON MY VEHICLE FROM TIME TO TIME
AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, THE STATIONARY PORTION OF THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED AND SHATTERED. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT AND THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE CENTER OF THE SUNROOF. I WAS NOT NEAR ANY OTHER VEHICLES AND NOTHING STRUCK THE CAR. IT SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT.

BOUGHT THIS CAR BE WITH 42 MILES ON IT. ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT THE AEB SYSTEM STARTED ACTIVATING AND SLAMMING THE BRAKES WHEN NOTHING WAS IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD NEVER HAD A CAR WITH THIS FEATURE BEFORE. I LATER GOT A NOTICE TO BRING IT IN TO A DEAL FOR AN UPDATE BEFORE THE WARRANTY WENT OUT. THE CAR IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND HAS BEGUN DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING 65 ON THE INTERSTATE WITH NO TRAFFIC OR OBSTACLES IN FRONT OF ME. THE WARNING SYSTEM WENT OFF THEN IMMEDIATELY ACTIVATES THE BRAKES SLOWING ME DOWN TO 40 MILES AN HOUR. THANKFULLY THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS ABLE TO REACT IN TIME TO SWERVE AND MISS ME. I GOT TJE ONE FINGER SALUTE FROM THE DRIVER OF THAT VEHICLE. IT IS NOW HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. I WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ANOTHER UPDATE. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THAT RIGHT NOW. ANYWAY THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED WHEN THEY DID THE FIRST UPDATE ON THE AEB SOFTWARE. PURCHASES FROM BENTON NISSAN IN BESSEMER, AL BUT HAVE HAD ALL SERVICE PERFORMED BY SIERRA NISSAN OF SYLACAUGA,AL. BUT I HAVE QUIT UTILIZING SERRA NISSA SINCE THEY PUT THE WRONG TYPE OF OIL IN MY CAR AND REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THEY ADMITTED TO THE MISTAKE ALSO IT WAS PRINTED THE SERVIVE RECEIPT AS PROOF THAT THEY OIL THEY USES WAS INCORRECT.
TRANSMISSION CONSTANTLY JERKS. IT IS CONSTANTLY FEELING LIKE IT IS FIGHTING ITSELF GOING DOWN THE ROAD. MECHANICS HAVE TEST DRIVEN IT AND CAN'T FEEL IT SOMETIMES OR CAN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. BEEN THIS WAY SINCE I PURCHASES THE CAR. I BOUGHT IT WITH 42 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.

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.
