| Aug 2021 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the automatic emergency braking system activated without warning. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 58,000. The VIN was invalid. | Crash: No Fire: No | 58,000 |
| Aug 2021 | SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | The AEB system in my vehicle was upgraded due to recall in May 2021. On August 17th the AEB system engaged as I was driving down the road, there were no vehicles or obstructions in front of me to cause such action. I did avoid being hit from behind due to quick thinking and pulling to side of road. When the brakes engaged a malfunction warning flashed on my screen. No warnings were issued prior to incident. I called Nissan service they said they were unaware of a problem but I made appt to bring in to be evaluated, they did not find anything wrong and I was charged a diagnostics fee. After some research I did discover there are many other complaints of the same matter and also that there is an ongoing class action lawsuit against Nissan for this problem. I was also told by the Dealership manager that this is a problem with many Nissan vehicles. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2021 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | In sum, vehicle was traveling at 35mph with no obstructions or vehicles in the front of my vehicle and forward collision warning activated, bringing vehicle to a complete stop. Breaks squealed and tire rubber burned onto pavement. Seatbelt clenched torso, leaving bruise on collar bone. Another occurrence was similar in speed, with no obstacles or vehicles in front of mine. The forward collision warning began beeping but not displaying any visuals or breaking vehicle. | Crash: No Fire: No Injuries: 1 | Unknown |
| Jul 2021 | VISIBILITY | The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving 65 mph, the panoramic glass roof exploded. The contact continued driving to his residence, where he taped cardboard over the roof. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer and it was diagnosed with needing the panoramic glass roof to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired however, the repair was still pending. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 31,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 31,000 |
| Jul 2021 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Automatic emergency braking engaged twice when attempting to pull into garage. There were no obstructions in the way and no reason for the car to engage emergency braking. Additionally, the warning light before the emergency braking engages flashed briefly while driving on an empty road with no traffic or obstructions. The car did not engage the emergency braking, but it was concerning that the message flashed for a moment when there was nothing on the road ahead of me. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2021 | WHEELS,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | While driving wheels locked up once with flash warning, one with sound warning. Happened twice within one week of each other. No obstructions in front of or behind me. Wheels locked up with no injuries. Took to dealer for diagnostic testing ($149.00) with no findings/codes to explain locking of wheels. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2021 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Driving vehicle on the highway when without notice the brakes engage. Very scary and dangerous. Have taken it four times to Nissan dealers without issue being resolved. This has been going on for two years. Appears to be with front sensor sensing there is an obstruction in front when there is not. After this occurs, a message will appear that states Front Collision Warning Unavailable. Better it not be available than to slam on the brakes putting us and the other vehicles at risk. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2021 | SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | In sum, on 7/22/2020, my vehicle was traveling approximately 55mph southbound Interstate 90/94 at Harrison when the forward collision warning activated, and emergency braking occurred. Vehicle speed was reduced to 25mph for several seconds, then alert disengaged. There were no vehicles or obstacles immediately in front of my vehicle, however there were several vehicles behind me and within the lanes on either side of me. The emergency breaking caused my seatbelt to lock, and distract me with auditory and visual alerts, and cause the vehicles behind me to slam on their breaks. This incident could have resulted in a massive pile-up collision. No warning lamps or messages were present prior to malfunction. All warnings occurred during the few seconds of incident. I thought this problem could be an isolated incident of sensitive warning systems within the vehicle, however this has occurred again. On 7/3/2021, my vehicle was traveling northbound Harlem Avenue just north of College Drive over a bridge, when the forward collision warning was activated, and emergency breaking occurred. Yet again, there were no obstacles or vehicles in front of me for roughly ½ of a mile. Seatbelt locked, auditory and visual alerts distracted me, and the emergency breaking activated, then disengaged with an audible “hissing” noise. No warning lamps or messages were present prior to malfunction. All warnings occurred during the few seconds of incident. On 7/6/2021, my vehicle was traveling westbound Interstate 90 at the Illinois/Indiana border, when the forward collision warning activated, and emergency breaking occurred. I was surrounded by vehicles on the left and right sides and in the rear. My seatbelt locked for myself and my passenger, and auditory and visual alerts activated and created distraction, and vehicles in the rear having to slow rapidly. No warning lamps or messages were present prior to malfunction. All warnings occurred during the few seconds of incident. The vehicle h | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2021 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | My cars automatic brake system engaged twice now. The first time I was driving and the brakes were slammed on and a car had to swerve hard to avoid me. Just now going 70mph on the freeway with my two kids in the car out of no where the brake assist kicked on and my car stopped. Luckily it kicked off right after and no harm done. I feel so unsafe now . | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2021 | AIR BAGS,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Front end collision at 40mph, no braking/warning, no air bags deployed | Crash: Yes Fire: No Towed | Unknown |
| Jun 2021 | SERVICE BRAKES,ENGINE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | On June 10, 2021, I was driving my vehicle preparing to merge on the interstate to go home when all of a sudden the AEB Warning light activates and I cannot not safely drive my vehicle. My vehicle speed would not increase above 3mph. I had the vehicle towed to my home. Today I contacted the dealership requesting that they have my vehicle towed for service and a loaner (as this is my only means of transportation) and was informed that I would be responsible for the tow, that it would be 3 to 4 days before they could run diagnostics and they have no loaner. My reality is if I had merged onto the interstate and this happened, I could either be dead or lying in the Intensive Care Unit. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2021 | SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | While driving at speeds between 30-40 miles per hour my 2018 Nissan Rogue suddenly brakes with no warning. I did not touch the brakes and there was no other vehicle in front or behind me. These incidents really scared me. This Sudden braking has happened six different times between November, 2020 and June 2021. I took it to the dealer(Nashville Downtown Nissan) to repair it when it first happened. They said that they fixed the problem free because it was under the 30,000 mile warranty. Four months later the the car suddenly braked at 40 miles per hour twice within a 3 day period May 27,2021 and May 30, 2021. Around June 1, 2020 I took my 2018 Nissan Rogue back to Nashville Downtown Nissan to repair the sudden braking problem again. They wanted to charge me $2,000 because it was no longer under warranty. I said that I did not have $2,000. So they told me to pay $182 for checking it. Now I drive my 2018 Nissan Rogue in fear of someone crashing into me. Nissan should be ashamed for letting this problem persist without offering A recall. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2021 | SEATS | The front seat rocked so bad I had to hang on to the steering wheel when braking and turning. Again, a huge safety issue. After arguing with Nissan that this was a safety issue they replaced the frame under the drivers side seat and I paid a $100.00 deductible. They said my extended warranty did not cover it, I really had to fight to get help on this. Safety issues should be covered no matter what, it's their fault. There's all kinds of complaints about this online. I should have complained a year ago to you but was unaware of the NHTSA. Sorry, I don't have documentation. Work was done at Torre Nissan. 2069 79125, CA-111, La Quinta, CA 92253 | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2021 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | It started braking by itself while I was driving 65 mph on the freeway. Scary Sh**. This happened 7 times before I was able to get safely home. It happened even when slowing to 30mph. And the brake lights do not go on when this happens, my boyfriend was following me. I’m shocked there has not been a recall for this after reading online of other complaints and lawsuits. Huge safety issue. This isn’t a bad water pump issue it’s a peoples lives issue. I called Nissan and opened a case with them (case # 43890104) for the issue and to try to get my $165.00 back that I had to pay my local Nissan dealer. Although Nissan is going to reimburse me the $165.00 I paid, I strongly feel it needs a recall for this issue. People need to be aware that their lives are in danger. Please help. Make Nissan do the right thing and do a recall. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2021 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Automatic opener for the automatic hatch back. I opened it i was reaching for something in to take something out when the hatch came down onto me. It rested on my back and did not go up. I was alone and had to maneuver myself out of the SUV trunk and had to manually close the hatch. This also happened to my 82 year old husband and the door when pressed to open, it starts UP, then comes down before it fully opens. This has happened more then once. We took the SUV to our dealer who said that we would have to pay for the repairs. Is this a manufacturing flaw or serious accident waiting to happen, or should this be a RECALL. Please advise as we have an appointment May 25, 2021. We have been in Florida for the past 5 months that is why we are just reporting this. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2021 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | FORWARD BREAKING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON FOR NO REASON | Crash: No Fire: No | 42,000 |
| May 2021 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | SEVERAL TIMES DURING NORMAL DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATES FOR NO REASON. ONCE PULLING INTO MY GARAGE AT 5MPH. ONCE LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY AT 0 MPH AND TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60+ MPH | Crash: No Fire: No | 45,000 |
| Apr 2021 | SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | MY 2018 NISSAN ROGUE HAS HAD THE AUTO BRAKES (AEB) KICK IN AND CAUSE MY CAR TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON MULTIPLE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHEN THERE WAS NO HAZARD, CAR OR PEDESTRIANS IN THE ROAD. IT HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST FIVE SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND THE LAST THREE TIMES I WAS BARELY ABLE TO AVOID BEING REAR ENDED. IT HAS HAPPENED ON SIDE STREETS, HIGHWAY AND ON INTERSTATE ROADS ON VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM 30 MPH TO 75 MPH. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED WITHOUT CHARGE TO CUSTOMERS. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE SO WE WOULD HAVE A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE OUR CHILDREN IN AND THIS IS IMPEDING ON THE SAFETY STANDARDS OF THIS OTHERWISE GREAT VEHICLE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 75,000 |
| Apr 2021 | AIR BAGS | THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND IT STAYS ON. ALONG WITH THE FORWARD COLLISION LIGHT. THAT LIGHTS COMES ON WHENEVER I TRY AND BRAKE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 60,000 |
| Apr 2021 | STEERING | INTERMITTENT ISSUE WHERE TURNING THE WHEEL QUICKLY, TYPICALLY WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT THROUGH A FULL ROTATION (PARKING OR TURNING DOWN DIFFERENT STREETS) THE WHEEL WILL LOCKED BOUNCE BACK THE OTHER WAY BEFORE BEING ABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL AGAIN. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE ISSUE OCCURRED 2-3 TIMES IN SUCCESSION. I AM SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TO HAVE THINGS CHECKED OUT. EVERY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED THUS FAR, IT HAS BEEN AT LOW SPEEDS AND RECOVERABLE BUT THE CONCERN IS THAT IF THIS HAPPENED ON AN OFF RAMP OR ON RAMP ON THE HIGHWAY, IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. | Crash: No Fire: No | 43,000 |
| Mar 2021 | ENGINE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | THE VEHICLE STALLS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AFTER A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND TRAFFIC LIGHT. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FROM THE YEAR 2020 UNTIL NOW, MARCH 22ND, 2021. THE ACCELERATION STALLS HAVE ALMOST CAUSED ABOUT THREE ACCIDENTS SO FAR IN BUSY INTERSECTIONS IN NORTH JERSEY. I HAVE BROUGHT THE SUV INTO NISSAN SERVICE CENTER THREE DIFFERENT TIMES AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS, 'SCANNED VEHICLE, NO DTC CODES FOUND AT THIS TIME NPF NO PROBLEM FOUND AT THIS TIME'. I HAVE MULTIPLE VIDEO DOCUMENTATION SHOWING A HIGH RPM OF 3-4 WHILE VEHICLE'S MPH IS BARELY PASSING 20MPH, RESULTING TO THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT APPEARING AND THE MALFUNCTION ERROR MESSAGE ILLUMINATING ON THE DASHBOARD. | Crash: No Fire: No | 59,363 |
| Mar 2021 | SERVICE BRAKES | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM SUDDENLY ACTIVATED CAUSING VEHICLE TO ABRUPTLY STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER COURTESY NISSAN OF TAMPA LOCATED AT 3800 W HILLSBOROUGH AVE, TAMPA, FL 33614 WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 64,000 |
| Mar 2021 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | I RECENTLY PURCHASED MY 2018 NISSAN ROGUE IN AUGUST OF 2020 AND AS OF MARCH 2021, I'VE HAD 5 INSTANCES WHERE THE FRONT RADAR SYSTEM FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE MALFUNCTIONED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE FRONT RADAR SENSOR IS PART OF THE INTELLIGENT FORWARD WARNING SYSTEM IN NISSANS AND ITS JOB IS TO DETECT THE DISTANCE BETWEEN VEHICLES. THE SENSOR IS TIED TO THE CRUISE CONTROL AND EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM. THE FAULT CONSISTS OF A FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION WARNING LIGHT MALFUNCTION ILLUMINATING LEADING TO THE DISENGAGEMENT OF THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE (IF ENGAGED PRIOR TO THE MALFUNCTION) OR THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM BECOMING DISABLED. ALSO, WHEN THE FAULT APPEARS, THE BRAKES ARE ABRUPTLY APPLIED BEFORE BEING RELEASED WHICH IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER AS YOUR RELYING ON THE INTEGRITY OF YOUR BRAKING SYSTEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY MENTIONED THAT THERE WERE NO CURRENT RECALLS IN PLACE FOR THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE AND THAT THE SYSTEM WOULD NEED TO BE UPDATED WITH THE LATEST SOFTWARE UPDATE TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM IS CORRECTED. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY APPROXIMATELY $150 TO INSTALL THE UPDATE TO THE SYSTEM, WHICH TO ME SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE COMPANY DUE TO IMPLIED SAFETY ISSUES. I WAS SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT A RECALL WAS NOT IN PLACE FOR THIS SYSTEM, CONSIDERING THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE SINCE 2014 AND YET THE NISSAN COMPANY HAS YET TO ISSUE ANY TYPE OF SAFETY RECALL FOR THE ROGUE MODELS, HENCE MY SAFETY COMPLAINT. I FEAR THAT IF THIS PROBLEM ISN'T CORRECTED SOON AN UNSUSPECTING DRIVER COULD GET HURT! | Crash: No Fire: No | 32,000 |
| Mar 2021 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM HAS ACTIVATED 5 DIFFERENT TIMES WITH NO OBSTRUCTIONS IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. ALL TIMES I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY DOING AROUND 65 MPH WHEN BRAKING ACTIVATED. IT WAS A FREIGHTING EXPERIENCE. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2021 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | IF I HAVE SAFETY SHIELD TURNED ON , THE CAR ATTEMPTS TO BREAK WHEN OTHER CARS DRIVE NEXT TO ME. THERE WILL NOT BE ANY CARS IN FRONT OF ME, BUT THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTS TO BREAK. I HAVE TO APPLY MORE GAS TO KEEP MY CAR FROM STOPPING WHEN IT SHOULDN'T. I KEEP REPORTING THIS ISSUE TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY ASSURE ME EVERYTHING IS FINE. I HAVE ALSO MADE IT A POINT TO WIPE THE CRASH SENSORS AND CAMERAS CLEAN BEFORE DRIVING, BUT I AM STILL HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I AM ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM WHEN USING THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE. IF CRUISE CONTROL IS SET ON, THERE IS A DELAY OF ABOUT 2-5 SECONDS WHEN THE CAR TRIES TO AUTOMATICALLY BREAK. FOR EXAMPLE, IF MY CRUISE CONTROL IS SET ON, A CAR WILL TURN IN FRONT OF ME AND THEN MOMENTS LATER MY CAR RANDOMLY BREAKS AS IF THE CAR IS STILL IN FRONT OF ME. IF I AM APPROACHING ANOTHER CAR, THE AUTOMATIC BREAKS APPLY VERY LATE IF CRUISE CONTROL IS SET ON. I KEEP BRINGING THESE ISSUES TO THE DEALERSHIP'S ATTENTION AND HAVE EVEN PAID FOR A FULL INSPECTION, BUT THEY ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. THE CAR KEEPS BREAKING UNEXPECTEDLY AND I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND I. WE DO NOT WANT TO BE IN A SITUATION WHEN THE CAR BREAKS UNEXPECTEDLY AND CAUSES A FATAL CRASH BECAUSE OF THIS. | Crash: No Fire: No | 53,000 |
