Chronological view of owner reports
The first incident occurred in November 2019 with about 5,400 mile on the vehicle. On a side street College Ave next close to intersection, I experienced a false Automatic Emergency braking and luckily none was right behind me but if they had been I could've definitely been injured. I took the car in for repair and they reported that they fixed the problem using the solution to a 2017?18 recall. It happened a second time in April or May of 2021 on the freeway and I wondered if it was because of the reflective paint on the 15 south San Diego freeway after the onramp at University Ave. Again, luckily no one was following close behind or I could've been injured but I did not take it in again until a week or so later when it happened a third time in the same place. The automatic emergency braking system broke hard and I was very shook up, luckily again I avoided an accident but it was a very dangerous situation. When I took the vehicle in they said the sensor was not working and they assured me they fixed it wouldn't happen again. Last Tuesday, September 14, 2021, close to the same location of the second and third incident, again, with no cars or objects in front of me the emergency braking system slammed on the brakes in this 4th incident. I was again lucky no one hit me but I did fear for my safety and felt I ran the risk of dying if I drive the car again. We called Nissan and they said this would qualify for the Lemon Law. I called and the case number #44716633. I believe Nissan still hasn't figured out their braking problems in existence since 2017.
2019 ROUGE BREAKS FOR NO WHEN NO ONE IS AROUND. DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG THIS SEEMS VERY SIMILAR TO THE ISSUE REPORTED ON 2017 AND 2018 MODELS.
The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) System Warning Light was illuminated. The vehicle also would not drive forward or reverse at the initial start-up. After turning off and restarting the vehicle, the vehicle operated as designed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the dealer reset the AEB code and diagnosed that there was no failure. No repair was performed. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 19,502.

I WAS DRIVING IN REGULAR TRAFFIC (35-35) MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY FLASHED EMERGENCY BRAKE WARNINGS AND SLAMMED TO A GRINDING HALT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I THOUGHT I HAD BLOWN A TIRE OR HIT SOMETHING, SO I PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO CHECK AND SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING. NO ONE WAS AROUND ME IN FRONT OR BEHIND. I HAD ENOUGH TIME TO GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE AFTER PULLING OFF INTO THE MEDIAN AND CIRCLE AROUND THE VEHICLE BEFORE ANY CARS PASSED. APPARENTLY, THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT GOING FOR THE 2017 AND 2018 MODEL ROGUE FOR THIS AEB ISSUE. IT IS STILL HAPPENING ON THE 2019 AS WELL. I HAD ANOTHER WARNING ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER BUT IT DID NOT STOP ME THAT TIME. IT JUST THREW UP THE WARNINGS AND BEEPS.
I WAS THE FIRST CAR AT A RED LIGHT, WHEN I STARTED DRIVING, THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED WITH ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME. THANK GOODNESS THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS PAYING ATTENTION AND WAS ABLE TO AVOID HITTING MY NISSAN ROGUE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND MADE A COMPLIANT THROUGH NISSAN. THE DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, AS THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. IN ADDITION TO THE AEB SYSTEM ISSUE, A WEEK LATER, I WAS PULLING OUT OF A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT AND WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, THE CAR LOCKED UP, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE CAR TURNED OFF FOR NO REASON. AGAIN, THE DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN TECHNICIAN STATED THAT IT COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND I NO LONGER FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE SUV I LOVED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT INCIDENT. DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT IMMEDIATELY CALLED MILLER NISSAN (2930 2ND ST S, ST CLOUD, MN 56301) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INSTRUCTED TO TURN OFF THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM AND TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MECHANIC RECALIBRATED THE SENSORS AS A PRECAUTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.
While driving my 2019 Nissan Rogue on the freeway at 65 miles/hr in a clear and sunny day all of a sudden the front collision sensor came on and the car came to a sudden stop. There were no debris, objects on the road. I took the car to Nissan dealership and the technician recalibrated the sensors. Technician confirmed the issue was part of the "soft" recall and he reassured me the recalibration will prevent this from happening again. A few months later this happened again while driving on the freeway at 65miles/hr in a clear day. Front collision sensor came on and the car came to a sudden stop. Taking the car back to the dealership to have the sensors inspected again. This is very dangerous as I could have gotten into a serious and life threatening accident if there were other vehicles around me going at 65miles/hr.
2x in 2021 while driving the automated braking system activated, slowing my car suddenly and unexpectedly. Luckily no cars were behind me or there would have been accidents. Both times I was about 5 feet away from an overhead traffic light. After June 2021 incident I brought the car to the dealer, who replaced the distance sensor. This braking happened in September 2021, have not yet contacted the dealer This also occurred once in 2020 however I thought it was a fluke. This seems to be an ongoing and potentially not fixable issue. I am afraid to drive my Rogue.
WHILE DRIVING WITH NO CARS IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE, THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THEN THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED THE BRAKES. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WHEN IT COLDER OUT (BELOW 40 DEGREES). THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING DOWN A RURAL ROAD, SPEED LIMIT 40 AS WELL AS A CITY STREET.
COLLISION LIGHTS CAME ON. NO CARS AROUND. AUTO BRAKING WHEN NOT NEEDED IS VERY DANGEROUS. CHECK BBB, OTHER NISSAN FORUMS. CARS TAKEN TO DEALER WITHOUT RESULTS. THIS SHOULD BE CHECKED AND RECALLED BEFORE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OCCURS. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY WHEN IT SHOULDN'T. VEHICLE IN MOTION ON 4 LANES, SPEED 55 WITH CRUISE SET.
