I HAVE HAD AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE AES(AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM) INDICATOR LIGHT FOR ABOUT A MONTH. IT STARTED WHEN I HAD 300 MILES ON MY CAR. THE SENSOR WOULD RANDOMLY COME ON. THE 1ST FEW TIMES, THE CAR WOULD SLIGHTLY BREAK WHEN THE SENSOR WOULD COME ON. AFTER AWHILE THE SENSOR WOULD JUST COME ON(WHICH TURNS THE WHOLE SYSTEM OFF WHEN IT IS ON) RANDOMLY WITH NO BRAKING. I HAVE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. THEY HAVE REPROGRAMMED AND REPLACED THE SENSOR. IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THEY THEN WANTED ME TO MAKE SURE I PUT MY CAR IN GARAGE FOR A WEEK TO SEE IF IT WAS RELATED TO MOISTURE/FOG ON THE WINDSHIELD BEFORE THEY WOULD REPLACED THE FRONT CAMERA. I HUMORED THEM AND DID THAT. TO MY DISMAY, I DROVE IT AND IT GOT WORSE. I WAS GOING DOWN A HIGHWAY AND RECEIVED FRONT RADAR FAILURE WARNING AND THE SAME INDICATOR CAME ON. LATER, SAME DAY, I WAS GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE PASSING A SEMI AND A VEHICLE BEHIND ME AND THE SAME ERROR. THIS TIME IT KICKED THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF AND IMMEDIATELY SLOWED MY VEHICLE DOWN. I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE JUST REPLACED THE DARN CAMERA WITHOUT ME HAVING TO TAKE THIS DEATH TRAP HOME. THEY PROMISED ME I WAS AT NO RISK AND THEN THIS HAPPENED!

ON AUGUST 16, 2019, THE VEHICLE'S AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED UNNECESSARILY AS I WAS DRIVING. I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 45-50 MILES PER HOUR. THERE WERE NO OBSTACLES IN THE ROAD, AND NO OTHER VEHICLES, BRIDGES, RAILROAD TRACKS, OR LOW HANGING OBJECTS IN MY PATH. I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT, BUT ONLY BECAUSE THERE WASN'T A CAR BEHIND ME AS I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN MY LANE OF THE HIGHWAY. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, I HAD BEEN GETTING WARNING LIGHTS INDICATING THAT I WAS HAVING A MALFUNCTION WITH THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM, AND TO SEE MY OWNER'S MANUAL. SINCE THE INITIAL REPAIR (AUGUST 17-29, 2019), THE VEHICLE'S MALFUNCTION LIGHT HAS COME ON MULTIPLE TIMES.
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A 2 LANE HIGHWAY IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. THE AEB WARNING LIGHT KEPT BLINKING ON AND OFF AND SLIGHTLY BREAKING FOR SEVERAL MILES. IT FINALLY STOPPED BLINKING ON IT'S OWN WITHOUT ME HAVING TO STOP. I HAVE VIDEO BUT COULD NOT UPLOAD.

I PURCHASED A NISSAN ROGUE SV AWD ON JULY 17,2019. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 10-20 MPH I NOTICED THE CAR WOULD SPORADICALLY DECIDE NOT TO ACCELERATE AT ALL . I WOULD FLOOR THE GAS AND THE RPM GAUGE WOULD NOT REGISTER NOR WOULD THE CAR ACCELERATE . THIS ALSO OCCURRED WHILE COASTING THROUGH EZ PASS TOLLS ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY! IMAGINE BEING IN THE LEFT OR MIDDLE LANE AND UNABLE TO ACCELERATE ON HIGHWAYS FROM 20 MPH ! IT ALSO OCCURRED WHILE PULLING ONTO HIGHWAYS AND DRIVING ROUNDABOUTS . NO LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD INDICATE WHAT WAS GOING ON . I CALLED NISSAN ON SEPTEMBER 20,2019 AND TOOK THE EARLIEST APPT SEPTEMBER 23,2019. I WAS FIRST TOLD THAT AFTER THEY DRIVE MY CAR TEN MILES THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE WHAT OCCURRED SO I COULD TAKE IT HOME . I REFUSED AND SAID THAT WAS UNACCEPTABLE AS THE CAR WAS DANGEROUS. I TOLD THEM TO KEEP IT AND FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY CALLED LATE THAT AFTERNOON AND SAID THEY FOUND I NEEDED A STOP LAMP SWITCH . I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR 'THOUGHT' I WAS BRAKING AND WOULD NOT LET ME ACCELERATE. I SAID THAT'S DANGEROUS AND OUTRAGEOUS! THEY SAID THE LAME SWITCH HAD INTERMITTENT INTERNAL FAILURE . WHEN I ASKED ( AFTER RESEARCHING IT) THAT THECAR MIGHT NEED TO BE REPROGRAMMED? THEY SAID NO . MY CAR IS BRAND NEW AND UNDER WARRANTY. THIS SITUATION SHOULD NEVER OCCUR IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES TO ALL . PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL REGARDING THIS ! THE CAR WAS GIVENBACK TO ME ON SEPTEMBER 25.2019. I'M WORRIED ABOUT MY SAFETY WHILE DRIVING IT .
I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO AUTOMATICALLY BRAKE AND MADE A GRINDING NOISE. THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING LASTED FOR A FEW SECONDS. IT WAS A CLEAR SUNNY DAY WITH NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND NOTHING IN THE ROADWAY.

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.

1PE19010 · 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.
