I have been experiencing issues with my safety features. The car will automatically brake when going down a steep hill. Sometimes the sensor will go off on a straight road with no one in front of me. This began early 2919. Nissan replaced the sensors due to the issues and a recall. Since then, the sensor still goes off randomly and frequently malfunctions. Nissan is going to replace the part again, but I'm still not confident issues will be resolved. This is a safety issue that we should not have to gamble with. Braking at the wrong time could cause serious injury or death!
Car stops suddenly for no reason! almost killed us at least four times! told Nissan said they fixed the software update ! however continues to happen throwing people around and almost got rear ended on parkway !!!!!!!!!
I purchased the 2018 Rogue April 27, 2019. On June 24, 2019 as I approached a green traffic light, warning lights and alarms went off in the car. I could not figure out why as there were no obstructions, the suddenly the car came to a screeching stop. I was of course terrified. The car resumed normal operation after about 30 seconds.

Vehicle is experiencing a random and repetitive engagement of the aeb system with no apparent reason for activation. In some instances, it is merely a warning and others a full hard braking. The problem first occurred during initial day of ownership on March 13, 2018. Dealer stated that Nissan was aware of some issues and was working on a solution. Problem continued to reoccur and a software update (ntb 18-041A) was completed on March 1, 2019. The update did not solve the problem. On August 20, 2019 vehicle was again brought in and documented that the system had failed showing 'radar stain code C1A16'. a forward emergency braking sensor was to be ordered as soon as the Nissan computer network was restored to service. Dealer contacted me when part came in and an installation appointment was set for August 27. When I arrived for the install, service advisor informed me that a 'service bulletin' had come on that morning relating to the aeb issue and refused to install the malfunctioning part. The reason given was that the field service action (P9327 Rogue aeb ntb19-064) required a current stain code and none had occurred since the diagnosis a week earlier. A complaint was made to Nissan (case # 36911652) on the afternoon of August 27. I received a call from Nissan the following day stating that they would not replace the part unless another failure occurs. In an effort to understand their response I asked them one simple question: 'if I understand you correctly, I have to experience another instance that could result in an accident or injury before the sensor can be installed?' Nissan's response was simply yes.
Driving 35 down the road when all of a sudden my emergency braking system starting stopping my vehicle abruptly alarms and flashing lights going off. There were no cars in front of me. Just out of the blue. My vehicle only has 6500 miles on it. I was very frightened. I called Nissan and they did not seem to concerned and didn't know what to tell me. They can get me in to look at it in 5 days. In the mean time I am frightened to drive it but have no choice since I work out of state.
While moving at both highway speeds or speeds between 20 -40 mph, the emergency braking system would engage without warning and without an object in front of the vehicle. This would cause the brakes to engage, the vehicle to shudder until I could re-take control, and an error alert on the dash board. The dealer's recommendation was to turn off the radar assisted emergency braking every time I got into the vehicle, as it was a "flawed technology". after multiple events and trips to the dealer, they replaced the part and updated the software.
2 occurances, the aebs system engaged/decellerated while traveling 35 mph with no vehicles on either side of the roadway-warning on the display were activated. This ocurred on a city street. 2nd event - ocurred on a city street while I was already slowing for a vehicle stopped at a red light at an intersection more 4 car lengths ahead. The aebs engaged, clearly sensing the ABS system was engaged, the brake pedal became unresponsive as if the engine was off. Traveling 15 mph when this began. The vehicle ahead of me was struck, the brake pedal still unresponsive caused a second contact with the vehicle while the vehicle was still in ABS mode. The brakes were not pumped during this entire incident. No injuries, but considerable damage to vehicle #1.
Aeb system randomly alerts or engages while driving even with no obstructions. Error says "unavailable front radar due to obstructions" no obstructions are visible on road. Occurs while driving 10-20mph or 50+ on highway. Second complaint, infotainment system randomly restarts/reboots on its own during the day.
Aeb randomly engages when there is no reason to. No other vehicles in front of vehicle. Vehicle has had this occur as slow as 25mph on local roadways and on freeways going 45mph. No clear/obvious trigger for when it engages improperly. At least a half dozen times since ownership began Sept 2018. Recently 3 times within last month. Received mailing from Nissan in February 2019. Dealership kept mailing when brought in vehicle in February. Didn't have sensor to replace on vehicle.
The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Rogue. While driving approximately 45 mph, an abnormal noise was heard underneath the vehicle and the contact noticed a red line across the instrument panel. All the indicators on the instrument panel were illuminated. The contact mentioned that the vehicle completely stopped and was unable to accelerate. The vehicle was able to accelerate minutes later. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the front bumper brake needed to be repaired and the automatic braking system indicator illuminated. The vehicle was repaired; however, the mechanic advised the contact to visit a Nissan dealer. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 14,798.
While driving, the car suddenly stopped without me braking. It just automatically stopped. A warning symbol flashed quickly on my dash then the ca came to a sudden halt. This was extremely dangerous, although I was only going. 20 mph.
While driving yesterday, my vehicle came to a screeching stop with any warning. There were no other cars on the road near me, no debris, nothing which should have caused this. I was able to quickly get to the breakdown lane and breathe while trying to understand what just happened. My 2 children and I sat there stunned and scared. Thankfully because no other cars were around we avoided a potential accident. I had no idea what caused the sudden stop. I pulled out my car manual and discovered it was a "safety feature" automatic emergency breaking. I dont think it's a safety feature if it almost causes an accident.
Was driving down the road and the automatic brake sensor came on and all wheels locked up almost causing someone to rearend me now I'm afraid to drive this car has happens to my husband while driving also Nissan is aware of the problem and says they can't fix it. There is no recall. There is a bulletin telling the mechanic to reboot the sensor. So it can happen again without no warnings!! I was on a city street. Not only are my children and I in danger!! it's all the people that are driving!!
When driving the car the aeb system will suddenly engage and force the car to brake. It happens mostly in parking garages but just happened when my daughter was driving on a busy interstate (I-684) and she almost go into a major accident. I brought the car into Nissan for the software update that was suggested by Nissan. However the issue is still occurring. The car is unsafe to drive.
This is the second complaint on this problem but the first after the car was worked on at the dealer. After approximately 50-55 minutes of continuous operation the emergency brakes activated as part of the collision avoidance feature. There was no danger of impact and speed was about 20-30mph on a city street. The braking was not hard but more like ABS engagement or crossing a "cattle guard". it lasted for less than 5 seconds. No detailing warning was given and the collision avoidance icon did not light. Only one occurrence during this drive of approximately 75 minutes. Upon the return trip, again after approximately 50-55 minutes of continuous driving the same braking occurred only this time at highway speed 60-65 mph. It did not reoccur for the remainder of the trip, approximate total trip time of 75-80 minutes. Will be returning this vehicle to the dealer for another evaluation but unsure if in the future this vehicle might suddenly stop, activating air bags at highway speeds.
Four times our 2018 Nissan Rogue has activated the emergency braking system, when slowing down. At one time, with my wife driving the engine died on a railroad tracks. Engine restarted but was scary. Taken to Nissan dealership, twice, they replaced a sensor, still did the same problem two times after that. Dealer cannot find the cause. We bought the car for dependable transportation, now with car salesmen knowing this problem, reselling this car is a lost cause. Nissan needs to buy back this car.
