| Sep 2019 | SERVICE BRAKES | VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING A RANDOM AND REPETITIVE ENGAGEMENT OF THE AEB SYSTEM WITH NO APPARENT REASON FOR ACTIVATION. IN SOME INSTANCES, IT IS MERELY A WARNING AND OTHERS A FULL HARD BRAKING. THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED DURING INITIAL DAY OF OWNERSHIP ON MARCH 13, 2018. DEALER STATED THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF SOME ISSUES AND WAS WORKING ON A SOLUTION. PROBLEM CONTINUED TO REOCCUR AND A SOFTWARE UPDATE (NTB 18-041A) WAS COMPLETED ON MARCH 1, 2019. THE UPDATE DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. ON AUGUST 20, 2019 VEHICLE WAS AGAIN BROUGHT IN AND DOCUMENTED THAT THE SYSTEM HAD FAILED SHOWING 'RADAR STAIN CODE C1A16'. A FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING SENSOR WAS TO BE ORDERED AS SOON AS THE NISSAN COMPUTER NETWORK WAS RESTORED TO SERVICE. DEALER CONTACTED ME WHEN PART CAME IN AND AN INSTALLATION APPOINTMENT WAS SET FOR AUGUST 27. WHEN I ARRIVED FOR THE INSTALL, SERVICE ADVISOR INFORMED ME THAT A 'SERVICE BULLETIN' HAD COME ON THAT MORNING RELATING TO THE AEB ISSUE AND REFUSED TO INSTALL THE MALFUNCTIONING PART. THE REASON GIVEN WAS THAT THE FIELD SERVICE ACTION (P9327 ROGUE AEB NTB19-064) REQUIRED A CURRENT STAIN CODE AND NONE HAD OCCURRED SINCE THE DIAGNOSIS A WEEK EARLIER. A COMPLAINT WAS MADE TO NISSAN (CASE # 36911652) ON THE AFTERNOON OF AUGUST 27. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM NISSAN THE FOLLOWING DAY STATING THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE PART UNLESS ANOTHER FAILURE OCCURS. IN AN EFFORT TO UNDERSTAND THEIR RESPONSE I ASKED THEM ONE SIMPLE QUESTION: 'IF I UNDERSTAND YOU CORRECTLY, I HAVE TO EXPERIENCE ANOTHER INSTANCE THAT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY BEFORE THE SENSOR CAN BE INSTALLED?' NISSAN'S RESPONSE WAS SIMPLY YES. | Crash: No Fire: No | 14,000 |
