Sunday January 28, 2018 a second totally unnecessary deployment again occurred, this time at @ 8:43 am. I was again on the southbound major deegan expressway, having entered South of yonkers avenue, but this time in the right hand lane on a slight downhill curve to the left, past mclean avenue overpass, speed 52 mph with the cruise control engaged, when the forward emergency brake system automatically deployed, for about 2 to 3 seconds. Again, there was no car immediately in front of me; no debris on the roadway; nothing that would alert the sensor. After emailing the yorktown Nissan new car dealer last week January. 25th after the first such incident, several hours later I had received no response. I then called the dealer and was directed to the service department. The receptionist would not put me through to the service manager, but instead allegedly spoke with a service dept. Person, and repliedy to me that "most likely there is dirt covering the sensor". I inquired where the sensor is, and what it looked like. She replied "the sensor looks like a little camera and it's either in your grill or in your bumper". I examined the sensor but did not detect any piece of dirt or anything covering the sensor. I'm very worried about this unexplained emergency deployment of the forward braking system, and would appreciate your response on this matter, and who to contact to see if other Nissan owners have similar experiences, and try to identify if there is any defect in the system. I am extremely worried about being rear-ended by another car when the system, for no reason, deploys the emergency braking
The vehicle was being driven toward a four lane intersection with traffic light control. As the vehicle approached the intersection and the red light, the brakes were applied and failed to engage. The brake pedal went to the floor and never slowed the vehicle. There were open lanes to the right and the vehicle was moved over to this open lane and never slowed. The vehicle went into and through the intersection. No cross traffic vehicles were impacted and the driver was able to move the vehicle over to the side road and slow the vehicle as it went up an incline. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and it was reported that no mechanical failures were found. No repairs were made. The vehicle has approximately 8000 miles on it,
While driving steady @45mph the brakes applied fully, as if there was an emergency. No car in front. This was on a city 4 lane road with a 45mph speed limit.
Takata recall: This involves a 2017 Nissan Rogue leased a bill siedle Nissan of miami. On November 15, 2017 while making a left turn the vehicle indicator light on the instrument panel ("Feb") turned on and the vehicle would not move. When this happened I noticed a cracking noise coming from the steering column. I took the vehicle to the dealer their personnel told me that the vehicle had been vandalized without them making any diagnostics. I told them that there was no indication of vandalism but they said they would not do anything to the vehicle until I contacted my auto insurance company (usaa). Usaa notified me that the vehicle my have an airbag recall to contact Nissan corporate office and/or search google for any complaints and/or problems related to the vehicle before considering filing an insurance claim regarding this matter.

Display in centre of dash indicated " malfunction" car pulled to side of road, shut down and restarted. No other signs of problems. No objects of any sort were in front of vehicle.

I have a short commute to work downtown where I have to park in a parking structure. This Friday morning the car was driving fine until I pulled into a parking space. As I tried to slowdown the vehicle into parking, the car did not stop. I pumped on the brake pedal twice before hitting the concrete wall on the 6th floor of the structure. I am currently waiting on the estimate for the repairs, but I no longer feel safe driving this vehicle.
