2019 Nissan Rogue Brakes

I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON A CLEAR DAY, ON A STRAIGHT ROAD. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKES ENGAGED. THERE WAS NO CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE BRAKES TO DISENGAGE BY STEPPING ON THE GAS.

VEHICLE STOPPED FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE MY WIFE [XXX] WAS DRIVING IT TODAY. SHE WAS DRIVING IT ON A CITY STREET STRAIGHT UPHILL AROUND 20 MILES AN HOUR. SHE WENT UNDER A BRIDGE OVERPASS AND THE SUV SUDDENLY SLOWED AND STOPPED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THERE WAS NO OTHER PERSON OR VEHICLE AROUND WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT IS BRAND NEW WITH 340 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TODAY I NOTICED MY CAR SUDDENLY APPLIED BRAKE AND STOPPED FOR A SECOND, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NO VEHICLES IN FRONT. IT HAPPENED ON NORMAL STREET (W.PLANO PARK WAY, PLANO, TX).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE BRAKE WARNING MESSAGE ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE BRAKES APPLIED ON THEIR OWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BURLESON NISSAN (LOCATED AT 300 N BURLESON BLVD, BURLESON, TX 76028, (817) 484-3500), BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURES. *DL

AROUND 500 MILES INTO MY LEASE, MY NISSAN STOPPED ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING DUE TO THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGING. THERE WAS NOTHING AROUND TO BRAKE. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE SENSORS. NOW AROUND 4200 MILES, I WAS DRIVING ON AN EXPRESSWAY IN THE RAIN AND MY CAR PRODUCED AN ERROR "FRONT RADAR UNAVAILABLE DUE TO OBSTRUCTION". I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD BUG DUST THAT WAS MESSING WITH THE SENSORS. THEY CLAIMED THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT STATES RAIN, SNOW, FROST, BUGS AND PARKING GARAGES CAN CAUSE THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION. I DO NOT FIND THIS ACCEPTABLE ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS CAR HAS ALREADY STOPPED ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING FOR NO REASON. I HAVE TO FIGHT THE DEALERSHIPS TO EVEN LOOK AT IT AND THEN AFTER A COUPLE DAYS, THEY TELL ME IT IS "BUG DUST" (LITERALLY WHAT THEY TOLD ME). I LIVE IN MN.... I CANNOT AVOID RAIN, SNOW, BUGS OR FROST. THE SENSORS ARE TOO SENSITIVE FOR EVERYDAY DRIVING.
