I am the owner of a 2017 Nissan Rogue SV FWD. Bought the vehicle back in October 2022 with a clear history with no prior accidents reported on the vehicle. Recently while driving to work, my brakes on my 2017 Nissan Rogue suddenly braked or locked up without me pressing the brake pedal. There was no vehicles in ahead of me nor in back of me yet still the brakes engaged. This has caused my 2017 Nissan Rogue to lose traction and hydroplane across the lanes on the freeway and in doing so sending me crashing into the concrete barrier in the medium. It has been raining that day and while it was raining at the time of the incident, me hydroplaning unexpectedly was inevitable. The impact with the concrete barrier send me careening backward to now face the oncoming traffic that were behind me more than two hundred feet away. I look to the dash and discovered the "automatic braking" light on. Not wanting to get struck by oncoming drivers, I managed to move my vehicle to a safe location and turn the engine off. I like to also add that the driver side airbag on the 2017 Nissan Rogue DID NOT deploy from the impact. No drivers or other vehicles were struck damaged or impact from the incident. I have started a claim on the night of the incident and my vehicle is currently being inspected by my insurance agent.

I was driving home from work and my car braked really hard without me touching the brake. The dash board light flashed a warning that was red and white and an alarm went off. This is available upon request. My safety was put at risk because this happened as I was accelerating through a green traffic light. There were people behind me who could have slammed into me, endangering me and them. This happened one other time last week but for a short period of time and it barely braked. It has not yet been inspected, but I plan to call my local dealership.

The automatic emergency braking system activated when there was no hazard. it was a full on panic stop with ABS engaging. The event lasted about 2 seconds. There were no other cars near by so there was no incident. This is the first time this has happened and the Rogue was fine for the rest of that drive. the front sensor was free from obstruction when looked at about 10 mins later.

The automatic emergency brake will activate when it's not supposed to. Then it will take several seconds for me to be able to drive again. This has caused me to almost be rear ended several times. I can turn the auto brake system off but it will come back on, on it's own.

The automatic braking system engaged four times randomly on 4/4 and 4/5/23 while driving on us hwy 70 in Nashville TN. There were no obstructions nearby when this occurred. Two of the incidents occurred while traveling approximately 45 to 50 mph almost resulting in a rear end collision from the driver behind. The other two incidents occurred at slower speeds making the vehicle almost impossible to drive. This was a significant safety concern since it occurred without warning. The Rogue is currently at action nissan in Nashville for diagnosis.

I was driving along East Passaic Bloomfield, New Jersey it-€™s a double Saul line two-lane roadway with four major exits into it Garden State Parkway etc. the person in front of me turn left over the Saul lines into a driveway, then put the car in reverse to back out of the driveway, straight across the double Saul lines to his house on the same side as he was going south right in front of my car this roadway is like a highway. The car went into a skid which it shouldn-€™t have. right in front of my car this roadway is like a highway. The car went into a skid which it should know with the antilock brake system, and upon contact the airbags did that a ploy deploy And upon contact airbags, didn-€™t deploy my wife, and I have to -€" my knees hit the dashboard. The person that caused the accident his company with State Farm and they put me at 15% liability which is totally wrong. I was sick at the time when they were going over the money they took thousands of dollars from me now my car is destroyed. They paid me to fix it, which doesn-€™t even cover the cost of the repairs. The car would have not gotten into the accident if it didn-€™t skid I would have been able to stop. I need Nissan to do something either replace this car or repair it because the accident should not have occurred. Airbags did not deploy and we got hurt. I-€™m not looking a lawsuit nothing like that. I want my car just fixed or replaced and the car does have recalls for electrical and other problems

I hit the brakes the car started to skid at 30 miles an hour with antilock brake system should-€™ve kicked in upon the crash. The airbags did not deploy and airbags. Come out anywhere from 8 miles an hour on I was a mechanic for a long time my wife banged up her shoulder and her back and I-€™m disabled as it is and I hurt my legs really bad, banging against the dashboard, the driver from the other car insurance paid us some money but it was even close to what it be for the repairs and I do not let them know about the airbags or the antilock brake system. This was very bad if we were at high speed we would have been killed. I did not document this anywhere. I did not put it on social media. I-€™m keeping it to myself for now, I have films in pictures of how the action occurred and the gentleman is still backing into the driveway. State farm blame me 15%. They scammed me I-€™ve been very sick I was in essential worker under the governor of New Jersey or Hackensack Meridian, Genewiz labs and Terry-€™s pharmacy that I made sure people got their medication-€˜s where others would not deliver or bring to them. I actually became very ill and now I walk with a walker. I-€™m a disabled man with a wrecked car. I have a very high car payment that I can afford and I need help with this. I think Nissan should replace this car. It is dangerous. This car is dangerous and it has a recall for the water leak through the electrical that I smelt burning a couple times when it rains. This car is a fire bowl waiting to happen but like I said, I-€™m not posting on social media and not letting no insurance companies know about it. I need to get in touch with somebody my phone number is [XXX].

On 12/16/22 while going through an overpass on a expressway/thruway, my 2017 Nissan Rogue automatic emergency braking system suddenly, erroneously and dangerously activated. Vehicle sustained body damage in the course of the sudden, with no reason, defective AEB/FEB engagement. Vehicle was limped off of the expressway/thruway and I called 911 and Triple A for transport to the dealer. I have since learned that Nissan has had thousands of complaints about this serious safety defect. Vehicle is currently at the Nissan dealer being inspected. I do not understand why a recall has not been issued as yet for this ongoing serious safety defect. It is also my understanding that Nissan has issued several corrective action "bulletins" on this matter but there is no real fix. The problem persists. I would never have purchased this vehicle if I had been made aware of the serious safety defect. CarFax Report at time of purchase and service documentation at the dealers do not show that the vehicle ever received any corrective action prior to my purchase of the vehicle in November 2020. I will never feel safe again in this vehicle. I and the occupants of my car on 12/16/22 are lucky to be alive. This serious incident could have resulted in all of our deaths on the expressway/thruway.

The car starts beeping and the Red brake warning comes on. The beeping is continuous and at that point the brakes get stuck and stop working. My safety was compromised in that my car brakes failed while I was in traffic and I almost hit the Fedex truck in front of me. I knew something was wrong because 2 days before I had just replaced brand new brakes in my car This problem first appeared on September 28th. My car was bought brand new and has never had a problem. Car was towed to Nissan, they inspected and said the problem is the Recall issue since the symptoms are the same and they could not do anything about it because recall repair has not been released by Nissan. I took my car home and drove it the next day and exactly the same problem happened again. The brakes failed right in the middle of traffic again. Warning brake sign comes on, warning car with spanner comes on and then car beeps continuously non-stop and the brakes stop working right in the middle of driving.

My 2017 Nissan Rogue is accelerating and lunging on its own. My sister and her fiance were almost involved in two separate accidents due to this safety concern. My sister said as she was coming up to a stop light, the vehicle suddenly accelerated forward, causing her to have to swerve into the next lane to avoid the accident. She said the vehicle then acted like it did not have enough power to accelerate forward again once it had stopped, however, my sister stated as she was attempting to get home after this incident; the vehicle accelerated/lunged forward again resulting in her having to swerve into the parking lot of a store to avoid another accident. My sister also stated that the traction control light flashed she the vehicle's RPMs got really high while she was driving it. This light did not stay on, but the check engine light has. My sister stated that once she got the vehicle home, she placed the vehicle in park and suddenly the RPMs on the Rogue maxed out, almost like you are pushing the pedal all the way to the floor while the vehicle is in Park or Neutral. My sister stated that once the RPMs went back down, the vehicle then stalled and has not started since.

The car even after reprogramming ICC/ ADAS radar is still having similar problems over again. The car when driving on an open road suddenly stops and stalls with a malfunction sign and a crash signal in the middle of highway. The car then does not starts and the above message prevents the RPM from increasing. It drives at idle speed with no acceleration. The car fixes back itself some times and restarts driving fine and after few miles, again in the middle of road, same incident happened when it stalled again and same malfunction message appeared. There is an open investigation by NHSTA currently about this incident as reported in majority of 2017 Nissan Rogue. It is a huge safety concern with increased risk of injury or death to self, passengers, and others. Nissan is not taking accountability for this.

I was driving 5mph at a drive through Xmas light display. While slowly driving through the display, the vehicle suddenly lunged forward followed by the emergency braking system engaging. Which brought the car to a sudden stop in front of the cars following behind us. I turned the car off then back on. Several lights on the dash remained on after restarting the car. I took it into the Nissan dealership in Rockwall, TX. They told me the ABS control module failed and needed to be replaced. Based on what I was doing at the time of the incident, this sudden failure could have resulted in a potential accident. The dealership also told me this is a know issue on other Nissan's and has been known to cause the vehicles to catch on fire.
