THE ACCELERATOR SENSING IS ERRATIC. SEEMS ACCENTUATED WHEN TURNING EITHER DIRECTION. WHEN TURNING AND LEAVING A STOP, OFTEN INSTEAD OF ACCELERATING PROPORTIONALLY TO ACCELERATOR DEPRESSION, IT WILL ACTUALLY SLOW DOWN INSTEAD OF SPEED UP. THIS COULD BE QUITE DANGEROUS WHEN TURNING INTO THE PATH OF AN ONCOMING VEHICLE THAT IS FAR ENOUGH AWAY THAT NORMAL ACCELERATION WOULD PLACE YOU OUT OF THE ONCOMING CARS' PATH. INSTEAD, YOU MAY BE SLOWED ENOUGH UNEXPECTEDLY TO BE IN THAT ONCOMING CARS' PATH. MENTIONING THIS ON A FORUM ON THE WEB BROUGHT A RESPONSE THAT QUESTIONED THE PROPER FUNTIONING OF THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. THIS FAILURE IS INTERMITTENT. ONE NEVER KNOWS WHETHER THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP WHEN TURNING WILL MEET THE EXPECTED AND REQUIRED RESULT. INTERMITTENT UNINTENDED SMALL BURSTS OF ACCELERATION OCCUR SPORADICALLY WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE SLOWLY THROUGH A PARKING LT FOR INSTANCE. I LIKEN IT TO A DIRTY OR DEFECTIVE VOLUME CONTROL ON AN OLD RADIO, WHERE TURNING THE KNOB TO INCREASE VOLUME HAS LITTLE TO NO EFFECT UNTIL YOU TURN IT FAR ENOUGH TO REACH A NON-DEFECTIVE SPOT IN THE CONTROL AND THE VOLUME IMMEDIATELY JUMPS SIGNIFICANTLY.

2016 NISSAN ROGUE SL AWD FORWARD EMERGENCY BREAKING SYSTEM GIVES WARNING WHEN THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS SPORADICALLY, DAY OR NIGHT, WET OR DRY ATMOSPHERE, AND AT MULTIPLE LOCATIONS (STRAIGHT STRETCHS OF HIGHWAY, 4 WAY INTERSECTIONS, STOPLIGHTS, RAILROAD CROSSINGS, BRIDGES/OVERPASSES). IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES AS WELL AS ANOTHER LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP EXPRESSING THIS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY SENSOR WAS BAD SO IT WAS REPLACED AND THE CODES WERE ERASED FROM THE SYSTEM. THIS ISSUE STILL HAPPENS AFTER THAT REPAIR. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SERVICE ADVISORS THAT IT'S BECAUSE THE SENSOR IS DIRTY OR IT'S SOMETHING THAT JUST HAPPENS. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER REPAIR WHO STATE THEY ARE WILLING TO WORK WITH ME BUT THEY ONLY KEEP MY CAR FOR A FEW HOURS OR A DAY AND HAVE A TECHNICIAN DRIVE IT TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE WITH NO SUCCESS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IF THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE THEN THERE IS NO REPAIR FOR IT. I UNDERSTANDT THAT BUT, I AM SCARED THAT IT IS GOING TO ACTUALLY ACTIVATE WHILE I AM TRAVELING TO AND FROM WORK ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED. MY "I THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE BASED OF SAFETY FEATURES VEHICLE" DOES NOT FEEL SO SAFE ANYMORE. I WILL NOT LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE VEHICLE ME OUT OF FEAR THAT I MAY CAUSE THEM HARM WITH THIS ISSUE.
