THIS IS A NEW INCIDENT FOR SAME VEHICLE REPORTED IN NHTSA INCIDENT #11308847. THE VEHICLE WAS ATTEMPTED TO BE PICKED UP FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE FEBRUARY 10, 2020 WHEN IT WAS INVOLVED IN A WRECK ON THAT DATE. VEHICLE HAD BEEN WITH NISSAN REPRESENTATIVES CONTINUOUSLY SINCE THAT DATE. THE VEHICLE HAD SAT UNATTENDED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS DUE TO ISSUES REPORTED IN NHTSA INCIDENT #11308847. NISSAN PROVIDED WRITTEN RESPONSE THE VEHICLE'S BODY DAMAGE WAS REPAIRED BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE ANY COMPUTER ISSUES. CONSUMER WAS INSTRUCTED TO PICK-UP VEHICLE BY TODAY. THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED WHILE AT THE NISSAN FACILITY AND LEFT RUNNING FOR A LITTLE WHILE AS THE BATTERY HAD COMPLETELY DISCHARGED. DURING THE FINAL CHECK BEFORE I LEFT THE NISSAN FACILITY, THE VEHICLE'S IGNITION WAS ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE WAS FULLY RUNNING. HOWEVER, NUMEROUS LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WERE ILLUMINATED THAT SHOULD NOT BE ILLUMINATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND TURNED ON. THESE LIGHTS INCLUDED POWER STEERING, ABS, BRAKE, CHECK ENGINE, OIL PRESSURE, AND A FEW OTHER LIGHTS. ADDITIONALLY, THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE IN TERMS OF BLOWING AIR OR RUNNING ANY FANS. THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE RELEASED BY THE NISSAN FACILITY'S SERVICE MANAGER AND THE VEHICLE WILL BE KEPT FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO CONTINUING ONBOARD COMPUTER SYSTEMS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY.*DT*JB*DT THE CONSUMER STATED THE BATTERY HAD LOW VOLTAGE CAUSING THE FAILURES.

THE BACKUP CAMERA IS FREEZING AT RANDOM WHEN I AM BACKING UP CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO STOP AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON TO RESET THE BACKUP CAMERA TO GET IT TO UNFREEZE TO GET IT TO FULLY WORK AGAIN. OTHERWISE IT REMAINS FROZEN EVEN WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND DRIVE TO A NEW AND LEAVE THE VEHICLE RUNNING AND STOP AND BACKUP THE BACKUP CAMERA IS STILL FROZEN NOT UNTIL I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF DOES THE BACKUP BECOME UNFROZEN. THIS IS A RANDOM HAPPENING, AND DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME AND I CAN NOT PREDICT WHEN IT WILL OCCUR THE NEXT TIME. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE ME TO HIT A CHILD THAT COULD RANDOMLY RUN OUT BEHIND MY VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING IN A PARKING LOT OR WHEN BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 25 TIMES NOW SINCE THE RECALL OF THE RECALL WAS REPAIRED ON MY 2018 NISSAN ROUGE SV BEFORE THE RECALL AND 1200 MILE SERVICE WAS DONE ION MY VEHICLE HAD NO ISSUES WITH MY UNTIL I HAD ALL THIS WORK DONE. THE ISSUE WITH MY BACKUP HAPPENS IN PARKING LOTS DRIVEWAYS IT DOES NOT MATTER WHEN I PARK IT IS A RANDOM OCCURRENCE THAT HAPPENS WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE DAY OR NIGHT. IT JUST HAPPENS OUT OF THE BLUE. AND SCARES ME WHEN IT DOES AND I HAVE TO BE MORE ALERT TO EVERYTHING AROUND ME IN MY MIRRORS TO MAKE SURE I DO NOT HIT ANYTHING OR ANYONE. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND I KNOW IF IT IS HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE IT HAS TO BE HAPPENING TO OTHERS I CAN NOT BE THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

I HAD AN ISSUE A COUPLE TIMES SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE (PRE SOFTWARE UPDATE DUE TO RECALL) WHERE YOU WOULD PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND THE BACKUP CAMERA WOULD COME UP AND YOU START REVERSING ONLY TO REALIZE THAT THE VIDEO FROM THE BACK UP CAMERA IS IN FACT FROZEN. THE RECALL WAS ISSUED LAST FALL WHICH I THOUGHT WAS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. NOW THAT I HAVE THE NEW SOFTWARE UPDATE, THE ISSUE HAS BECOME SO MUCH MORE PREVALENT THAN IT EVER WAS BEFORE. I AM NOW ENCOUNTERING THE ISSUE ON A WEEKLY BASIS. I NOTIFIED NISSAN BUT FIGURED IT COULDN'T HURT TO MAKE YOU ALL AWARE AS WELL SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU CANNOT TRUST THE BACKUP CAMERA TO WORK.
OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS I NOTICED MY BACK UP CAMERA FREEZING UP, YESTERDAY AS I WAS BACKING UP THE SCREEN WENT COMPLETELY BLANK. SO I PLACED IN PARK, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WENT TO PUSH START, I RECECIVED A NO KEY DETECTED ERROR, TRIED AGAIN AND IT STARTED UP JUST FINE AND THE SCREEN WAS BACK TO WORKING AGAIN
WHEN USING MY SPEED CONTROL A YELLOW LIKE START FLASHING ON AN OFF. AS WELL AS MY FRONT SAFETY SHIELD BEGIN FLASHING ON AN AND OFF. BRAKE SQUEAL WHEN GOING DOWN A SMALL INCLINE.
VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE ROUGHLY WHEN GOING 55MPH OR MORE. THE WOBBLE EVEN MADE MY SEATBELTS LOCK UP. SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM AROUND THE TIRES MAYBE THE SUSPENSION. THE SUSPENSION LOOKS JUST FINE, DIDNT SEEM LOOSE, YET AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FEELS VERY DANGEROUS! NOTHING NOTICEABLE WHILE DRIVING THROUGH TOWN.
AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, THE STATIONARY PORTION OF THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED AND SHATTERED. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT AND THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE CENTER OF THE SUNROOF. I WAS NOT NEAR ANY OTHER VEHICLES AND NOTHING STRUCK THE CAR. IT SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT.

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.

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.
