After getting gas, I went to start my car and it started malfunctioning like it was having an electrical shortage. The battery was jumped off and it started like normal. The battery, alternator, & starter were tested and everything checked out, except the battery wasnt charged.

Over the past 6 months was when the following electrical issues began. I was traveling around 25 mph when my Foward Collison Warning signaled and led to the Automatic Braking Emergency engaging. There was no other vehicle or object around. I was in the countryside. The weather was clear. If this were to happen under different circumstances on a busy highway it would have caused an accident, most likely fatalities. The other drivers would have had no warning because the vehicle does brake hard even stop abruptly depending on speed. The vehicle locked up and I didn't have control over my vehicle anymore. Also more then once the Forward Collison Light came on when it was raining and/or dense fog. The brakes did not engage and the alarm did not sound but the warning still showed on the dash. It eventually stopped showing on my dash as I drove, but I did pull over and wipe the sensor area. Another problem I'm encountering is the Parking Collison Warning. Sensors are detecting something and being activated when there is no object behind vehicle. I even got out of vehicle to make sure because I didn't see anything in my camera. When I made sure there was nothing obstructing my travel I preceeded and the sensor stopped beeping. I have checked the Nissan website and entered my VIN but unfortunately there were no recalls for these malfunctioning sensors.

AEB light flashes on and off at random driving times. sent in for inspection no code generated but have videos of each one. Safety feature that is no longer a safety feature, but a hazard to self and others while driving. when ur car stops would be my #1 one indicator especially on the freeway and at random times= accident, the possible death of self and others! no, the dealer cant no regenerate the code. no other inspection except the local dealer. No other warnings. light just randomly appeared 2 days after the purchase of the car, a few months later, etc same pattern. was informed weather, then dirt. NOT sure how a person can avoid weather; fog, condensation, moisture. or bugs hitting ur windshield or review mirrors while driving. I would have to bubble wrap my car for that and those things not to possibly effect this sensor.
Breaks slammed on without warning with nothing in front of vehicle. There where no vehicles within a mile ahead. There where 4 people in the vehicle and the seat belts did not lock up and passengers where slammed into the dash. The breaks have locked up twice now.

DRIVING DOWN OHIO PIKE AFTER A SHORT STOP, CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS DRIVING IN A LOW GEAR OR NOT SHIFTING AND THE MANUAL OPTION WAS NOT ENGAGED. TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 35-45 MPH FOR ABOUT A MILE OR SO WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED TO THE LEFT AND CAR DECELERATED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC TURN LANE. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS IN TURN LANE. I PUT CAR IN PARK, COLLECTED MY THOUGHTS, DAUGHTER REACHED OVER AND PUT HAZARDS ON. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE WEATHER WAS CLOUDY BUT DRY CONDITIONS. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO A PARKING LOT ACROSS THE TWO LANES, TURN THE CAR OFF, RESTAR IT DRIVE IT AROUND THE PARKING LOT AND THEN ATTEMPT TO DRIVE IT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP 3 MILES AWAY. THE CAR STILL SEEMED TO NOT DRIVE LIKE IT WAS IN THE CORRECT GEAR SO PULLED OFF INTO A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT AND EVENTUALLY WAS TOWED TO CLOSEST NISSAN. IT HAS BEEN ONE WEEK, I STILL DO NOT HAVE MY CAR BACK BECAUSE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT RELEASE IT BACK TO ME FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THEY ARE WORKING WITH NISSAN. I WAS GIVEN A LOANER CAR TO GET HOME IN ANOTHER STATE. THIS IS IS A LEASE CAR THAT I AM PAYING FOR AND NOT ABLE TO USE AND NOW I AM SCARED TO DRIVE. AS OF NOW DEALERSHIP TOLD ME A WIRE CAME LOOSE FROM THE COMPUTER.

Official recalls
123V093000 · Electrical SYSTEM:IGNITION:ANTI-THEFT:IMMOBILIZER/PROXIMITY:KEY/SENDER
Feb 16, 2023
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2014-2020 Rogue and 2017-2022 Rogue Sport vehicles equipped with a jackknife style ignition key. The jackknife key may collapse into a folded position while driving.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Driver contact with a key in the collapsed position could inadvertently shut off the vehicle while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the vehicle shuts off while driving, the air bags may not deploy in a crash as intended, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: Dealers will insert a spacer into the key slot of the jackknife key, free of charge. Interim notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed March 29, 2023. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 30, 2023. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R22C5.
