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.
While stopped at a stop sign I pressed the gas to go and my car began to shutter then out itself in park. I turned it off then on again as no indicators popped up but I could not drive. It would go only into neutral or park. Then, after a while my car refused to turn off. I will press the break then the start/stop button and it …

While stopped at a stop sign I pressed the gas to go and my car began to shutter then out itself in park. I turned it off then on again as no indicators popped up but I could not drive. It would go only into neutral or park. Then, after a while my car refused to turn off. I will press the break then the start/stop button and it would shut off then turn right back on. Then, the oil life and engine light came on and on the screen it said there was a headlight system error or failure. We tried to jump the car and it still would not start. This was a car I had for 2 months, only 2 years old, and only 37,000 miles on it.

AEB/ABS braking system lights came on. I've had prior electrical problems with this car so I assumed it was an electrical malfunction. When I took it to the Nissan dealership they told me there was a brake fluid leak in the ABS actuator. The warning lights started Friday August 4th 2023. I took it in to get diagnosed Thursday August 10th 2023. I bought my 2021 Rogue in Jan. 2023 from Carvana with no knowlege of accidents or prior issues within the first few weeks I had issues with the distance sensor which Nissan recplaced. I have not had any accidents with the car since I've owned it.
The car just shut down while it was on and I was in it. Luckily I was at a stop. This is the second time it has happened in 6 months. It would be scary if it happened if it happened on the freeway. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle.

I was driving in 90°F weather for over an hour on the freeway, and it felt like my car's power cut out. This caused my vehicle to decelerate to 40mph while on a busy freeway, leading me to fear for my and others' safety. I turned the car off, waited for 15 minutes at the exit, and began moving again, only for the same issue to occur again. This time I stayed longer and decided not to push the car past 3k RPM, and made it home. The issue occurred once several months ago, and now it has happened twice on the same trip. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms before the power was cut off. I took the car to an independent service center, and they could not diagnose the problem.
