WHEN DRIVING AND STEERING, TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, GOING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD, TURNING CURVES, THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE IN MY STEERING COLUMN. WHEN I PUT ON BRAKES IT DOES IT ALSO. I AM NOT SURE IF THERE IS SOMETHING INSIDE BROKEN OR LOOSE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A NISSAN DEALER AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING, BUT THEY HEAR THE NOISES, THE SERVICE MANAGER EVEN RECORDED THE NOISES. MY SEAT SLIDES ON THE POWER RACKING SYSTEM. MY SEAT WILL SIDE FROM FRONT TO BACK, ONLY A FRACTION, BUT IT ALSO SLIDES OR ROCKS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. I AM AFRAID THAT THE SEAT WILL COME UNATTACHED IF I AM IN A COLLISION. THE ABS WILL OFTEN MAKE THE FLASHING NOISE AND ATTEMPT TO BRAKE IF IT SEES A SHADOW ON THE ROAD, LIKE A PARKING GARAGE OR TREES OVER A ROAD. I HAVE ASKED THE NISSAN DEALER IN ASHEBORO SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANY ISSUES WITH THE 3 PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE LISTED. GRANTED I DID NOT PURCHASE FROM THEM, SO THEY REALLY DON'T WANT TO ASSIST ME. I PURCHASED THE EXTRA WARRANTIES, BUMPER TO BUMPER, AND THAT HAS NOT GIVEN ME ANY ASSISTANCE AS WELL. PLEASE HELP. I WANT TO GET RID OF THIS UNFIT CAR BUT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BECAUSE OF THE NOISES IT IS MAKING. THIS STARTED AT ABOUT 31,000 AND NOW I HAVE 47,000, NUMEROUS TRIPS TO A DEALER TO NO RESOLVE. I HAVE HAD THE RIGHT- WHEEL, TIRE RODS OR BRAKES SOMETHING REPLACED 3 TIMES, I HAVE HAD A NEW HEATING/AIR, STEERING GROMMET $ 194.00, OUT OF POCKET, BREAK GASKET, $50, AND THESE NOISES THAT ARE SO BAD THAT I CAN'T STAND TO DRIVE THE CAR, FOR OVER 1 YEARS OR SO NOW.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20MPH, WITH NO VEHICLE OR OBSTRUCTION IN FRONT OF ME, MY ROGUE AUTOMATICALLY BRAKED, FLASHED A WARNING BAR IN THE DASH, AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE PHYSICALLY SHAKING AND MAKING A GRINDING NOISE. THE CAR HAD ENGAGED THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM WITHOUT CAUSE. THIS OCCURRED AT 8:00PM (NIGHT) AND ABOUT 20 FEET BEFORE A RAILROAD CROSSING ON A TWO-LANE STREET IN A RURAL TOWN, BUT THERE WAS NO TRAIN PRESENT. IT TOOK SEVERAL SECONDS TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR AND BEGIN DRIVING AGAIN. THE CAR FOLLOWING ME WAS FAR ENOUGH BEHIND TO AVOID A REAR COLLISION, AND WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE AROUND MY STOPPED VEHICLE. I HAVE REPORTED THE OCCURRENCE TO FRED ANDERSON NISSAN OF ASHEVILLE, WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON SEPT. 29, 2020, AND AM WAITING FOR THEIR RESPONSE ABOUT CORRECTING THE PROBLEM.

ON 11/22/020 WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE 605 FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 65 MILES AN HOUR, MY VEHICLE CAME TO A SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED STOP. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THE ANTI COLLISION SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME AND THE DASHBOARD WARNING WAS INDICATING A MALFUNCTION ON THE EMERGENCY BREAKING SYSTEM. I HAVE REPORTED THE TWO PRIOR INCIDENTS TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY HAVE STATED THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ORIGINAL SENSOR AFTER THE VEHICLE MADE A SUDDEN STOP SIX MONTHS AFTER I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE SENSOR WARNING LIGHT WAS STILL AN ISSUE AFTER THE REPLACEMENT AND THE DEALERSHIP THEN FELT ADJUSTING THE SENSORS DISTANCE WILL RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.. IT DID NOT... MY VEHICLE WAS ALMOST IN A COLLISION AS IT CAME TO ANOTHER SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED STOP AFTER A FEW MONTHS AFTER WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN IN THE INTERSECTION. THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTED NISSAN AND WERE ADVISED TO STABILIZE THE SENSOR WITH A BRACKET. NONE OF THE METHODS NISSAN HAS USED RESOLVED THE SENSOR MALFUNCTION. NISSAN DEALERSHIP INSISTED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND INSISTED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE SENSOR MALFUNCTION. ON 11/22/2020 MY VEHICLE ALMOST CAUSED A REAR END COLLISION AS IT AGAIN MADE A SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED STOP. THE DEALERSHIP FAILED TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION AND DESPITE ME HAVING A VIDEO AND PICTURES OF THE DASHBOARDS WARNING LIGHT ON. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE IS A HAZARD ON THE ROAD AND CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE A SEVERE ACCIDENT DUE TO THE FAULTY EMERGENCY BREAKING SYSTEM. THE DEALERSHIPS ADVICE IS TO GET BACK IN MY CAR BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, THEY ALSO DO NOT WANT TO SEE THE VIDEO OR THE PICTURE OF THE DASHBOARD WITH THE MALFUNCTION WARNING DISPLAY.
WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED WHILE NOTHING WAS IN FRONT OF THE CAR. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS IS HAPPENED TO ME, AND THE FIRST TIME THE PART WAS REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE DUE TO IT BEING UNDER MY WARRANTY.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED WHILE NOTHING WAS IN FRONT OF THE CAR. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS IS HAPPENED TO ME, AND THE FIRST TIME THE PART WAS REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE DUE TO IT BEING UNDER MY WARRANTY. IN THIS SITUATION, THE PART IS NOT BEING REPLACED AND I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH NISSAN CORPORATE WHO REFUSED TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE PART. THEY ALSO REFUSED TO REPLACE THE PART, STATING THAT IT IS OUTSIDE MY VEHICLES WARRANTY.
MY CAR WOULDN'T BRAKE WITHOUT A DELAY I THOUGHT MY BRAKES WERE BROKE. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY. NO TRAFFIC WAS IN THE WAY. I LEFT A VOICEMAIL WITH CARMAX TO LET THEM KNOW AND ASK FOR SERVICE AS I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 4 DAYS BEFORE. I'M WAITING FOR A CALL BACK.

2PE19010 · False Automatic Emergency Braking
Opened Sep 9, 2019 · No close date supplied
Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Forward Collision Avoidance: Automatic Emergency Braking
NHTSA received a defect petition (DP19-001) from the Center for Auto Safety (CAS) on March 21, 2019 alleging that the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system on Model Year (MY) 2017-2018 Nissan Rogue and Rogue Sport vehicles was engaging in cases where there was no obstruction in the path of the vehicle. The CAS petition additionally alleges that, based on Nissan's actions, the manufacturer is aware of the issue due to issuing a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) launching two "Quality Actions," and initiating a "Customer Service Initiative" in relation to it. CAS contends that Nissan's actions do not represent an adequate long-term solution to the problem, as the action is only available during the basic coverage period of the warranty. CAS also argues that the alleged failures are an unreasonable risk to safety and views Nissan's communications as not acknowledging the potential safety issue involved, instead treating the alleged problem as a performance update.The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) analyzed Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) complaints received from consumers and identified a total of 129 unique subject vehicle reports (for all submission dates) alleging a false positive triggering of AEB. Of these complaints, three were identified that contained allegations of a collision resulting from the activation of the system, and all three indicating related injuries.In response to ODI's April 15, 2019 Information Request letter, Nissan provided data indicating that it has received 750 unique subject vehicle complaints relating to false positive activation of the AEB system. Of these complaints, 12 were identified that contained allegations of a collision resulting from the activation of the system. Four complaints contained allegations of injuries, three of which were the result of a collision. These complaints included duplicates of complaints that ODI received. The injury allegations were limited to soft tissue type injuries such as whiplash and bruising.Based on its review of the information identified to date, ODI has granted the petition and is opening this preliminary evaluation in order to evaluate the cause, scope and frequency of AEB false positive activations, as well as to evaluate the suitability of the manufacturer's campaign to address the concern or improve performance of the AEB system. The complaints cited can be viewed at NHTSA.gov under the following ODI identification numbers: 11230875, 11230481, 11230361, 11229400, 11229302, 11229294, 11228994, 11223074, 11222925, 11222644, 11220499, 11218713, 11218608, 11217157, 11210334, 11210256, 11210148, 11209127, 11209032, 11207333, 11205931, 11205717, 11205661, 11205172, 11205124, 11205027, 11204803, 11204349, 11204324, 11196805, 11196561, 11196466, 11196091, 11195938, 11195574, 11194380, 11193989, 11192761, 11192283, 11192063, 11190855, 11190840, 11189976, 11187374, 11186903, 11185890, 11185883, 11185132, 11183406, 11180813, 11174713, 11173666, 11173302, 11172299, 11171331, 11170989, 11165434, 11164646, 11162898, 11162502, 11162396, 11161413, 11161230, 11155985, 11155209, 11155181, 11154181, 11153607, 11153334, 11151373, 11151028, 11142595, 11142557, 11142386, 11141775, 11141433, 11141387, 11141347, 11140604, 11139711, 11139226, 11133402, 11132376, 11130998, 11130662, 11129949, 11128704, 11124099, 11123564, 11123353, 11123321, 11122783, 11119475, 11119300, 11118604, 11115088, 11113479, 11113371, 11112371, 11111659, 11111057, 11110919, 11110689, 11104075, 11103844, 11103437, 11102715, 11102333, 11100117, 11099313, 11091006, 11089960, 11089798, 11089533, 11088815, 11088718, 11081072, 11079453, 11073644, 11072718, 11065505, 11061598, 11057739, 11056061, 11055766, 11048349, 11035301, 11033225, and 10972343.
