Nissan Rogue electrical problems

THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A FRONT RADAR SYSTEM WHICH WILL APPLY EMERGENCY BREAKING IF OBJECTS ARE SENSED TO BE IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHILE IT'S IN MOTION. ON JAN 29, 2019, MY VEHICLE ENGAGED EMERGENCY BRAKING WHILE I WAS CROSSING A RAILROAD CROSSING ON A ROUGH CITY STREET. THE VEHICLE BEGAN BEEPING, CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL AUTOMATICALLY PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN, AND WOULD NOT DRIVE UNTIL I PRESSED THE BRAKE. THIS LEFT ME SITTING ON AN ACTIVE RAIL CROSSING WITH A VEHICLE COMING UP BEHIND ME. THIS SIMILAR SITUATION HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL OTHER TIMES WHILE CROSSING UNDER BRIDGES AND ENTERING PARKING GARAGES BUT IN THOSE CASES, ONLY LIGHT BRAKING OCCURRED AND I WAS ABLE TO PROCEED WITHOUT NEEDING TO PRESS THE BRAKE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE SENSOR IN THE FRONT BUMPER ENGAGED AND LOCKED THE BRAKES, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN. THE "SYSTEM LOCK-DOWN" INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TED RUSSELL NISSAN (865-223-6744, LOCATED AT 8565 KINGSTON PIKE, KNOXVILLE, TN 37919) WHERE THE SENSORS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED TO PAY 50 PERCENT OF THE REPAIR COSTS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SAFETY ISSUE WAS NOT ADDRESSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

INTERIOR HEAT BARELY WARM WITH TEMP SET AT 90. DEALER REPROGRAMMED AIR DOOR POSITIONS & HEAT LASTED 1 DAY. 2ND VISIT TO DEALER INSTRUCTED TO CHANGE FLOW POSITIONS (SWITCH FROM OUTSIDE AIR TO CABIN RECIRCULATION). WINDOWS STEAMED UP; TOLD USE AC TO DRY OUT AIR. WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL FOR THESE SAFETY CONCERNS: 1. PLAYING AROUND WITH BUTTONS TO CHANGE AIR FLOW IS DISTRACTED DRIVING, HAVING TO KEEP LOOKING DOWN TO SEE WHICH BUTTON TO TRY NEXT TO GET HEAT TO CLEAR WINDOW STEAM (DRIVING CITY BLOCKS OR DOWN THE FREEWAY WHILE LOOKING AT WHICH COMBO OF HEAT CONTROL BUTTONS TO TRY NEXT) 2. WITH CABIN CIRCULATION TURNED ON, WINDOWS CAN STAM UP SUDDENLY LIKE DRIVING THRU FOG, UNTIL I LOCATE THE DEFROST BUTTON, BUT THEN I LOST HEAT. 3. SAFETY CONCERN WITH PUTTING ON DEFROSTER AND NOT HAVING HEAT WITH WINTER DRIVING; IT IS SCARY TO HAVE SNOW FALLING & ALTHOUGH THERE IS ENOUGH AIR TO CLEAR STEAMED WINDOWS, THERE ISN'T ENOUGH HEAT TO MELT SNOW/ICE ETC. FROM WINDSHIELD. SURFING THE INTERNET, I SEE I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS ISSUE. I ALSO LEARNED THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR FAULTY OR IMPROPER OPERATION OF HVAC. THE PRICE TO REPAIR THIS IS NEARLY $700 IF THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. ALTHOUGH THIS MAY SEEM LIKE MORE OF A "COMFORT" ISSUE THAN A SAFETY ISSUE IN KEEPING INTERIOR TEMPERATURE REASONABLE, BUT WHEN A PERSON KEEPS THE SETTING AT +90 DEGREES AND THE AIR BLOWING OUT IS BARELY WARM, WHEN THE WINDOWS STEAM UP BECAUSE OF IMPROPER AIR CIRCULATION, AND WHEN A WINDSHIELD CANNOT BE CLEARED OF SNOW OR ICE CREATING POOR VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING, THEN I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT WARRANTS A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. AFTER THE CONTACT REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING AND IGNITION SWITCH INDICATOR ON THE STEERING COLUMN REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 147,000.

WHILE DRIVING, THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM DASH LIGHT FLASHES. NISSAN SUGGESTS THE ISSUE IS DUE TO FROST. THE RADAR SENSOR IS LOCATED BEHIND THE FRONT GRILLE EMBLEM AND MAY BE BLOCKED DUE TO FROST BUILD UP. NISSAN CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE, AND THERE IS NO FIX. HOW CAN A VEHICLE'S BRAKING SYSTEM BE UNAVAILABLE, YET THERE IS NO ISSUE? THE ISSUE SHOULD BE RECALLED. PERHAPS RELOCATE THE SENSOR. ALSO, IF IT IS IN FACT DUE TO A FROSTY EMBLEM, THEY SHOULD ADD A HEATED EMBLEM TO PREVENT THE BUILD UP.

I WAS ON THE STREET DRIVING UP A HILL AND THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON I LOOKED IT UP IN MY MANUEL BOOK IT SAID DO NOT DRIVE TAKE TO DEALER MY CAR WAS PURCHASED ON NOV 23,2018 THIS HAPPENNED ON DECEMBER 10,2018. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK THEY TOWED THE VEHICLE AND TOLD ME I CANNOT GET A RENTAL OR LOANER CAR UNTILL NISSAN DETERMINES IT WAS NOT MY FAULT, SO AFTER THEY FINALLY LOOKED AT CAR AND DETERMINED IT WAS A FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURE THIS WAS ON 12/16/2018 , I HAD BEEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR 6 DAYS THEN THEY SAID MY CAR WOULD BE DONE ON THE 17TH AND THEIR WAS NO NEED FOR ME TO GET A LOANER. ALSO THE VEHICLE HAD A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE WHEN PUT IN GEAR. THEY FOUND THAT THE RADIATOR LOWER SUPPORT BOLTS WERE LOOSE. EVERY TIME I GET IN MY VEHICLE AFTER STOPPING FOR AN HOUR OR MORE THE TIRE PRESSURE IS OFF ON ALL FOUR TIRES I NEED TO FILL WITH AIR ON A DAILY BASIS. THIS IS ABSURD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING OVER 30 MPH, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER (VALDOSTA NISSAN CADILLAC, 3685 INNER PERIMETER RD, VALDOSTA, GA 31602, (229) 242-7325) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE MORE THAN TWICE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER LATER INDICATED THAT THE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE. THE SENSOR WAS STATED TO HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER'S MECHANIC, BUT THE TPMS INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED AFTER THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD FOLLOW-UP WITHIN 48 HOURS. THE CONTACT HAD NOT HEARD BACK FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE. *TT*JB

THE AEB SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING. ON MULTIPLE OCCASSIONS THE CAR SUDDENLY BREAKS EVENTHOUGH THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE CAR. IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED TO ME WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY - GENERALLY THE ROADS ARE CLEAR. ON ONE OF THE MULTIPLE OCCASSIONS, CLEARING THE RADAR OF BUG SPLATTER SOLVED THE PROBLEM. ON ALL THE OTHER OCCASSIONS, THERE WAS NO OBSTRUCTION TO THE RADAR. THE BRAKES COME ON, THE AEB LIGHT ON THE CONSOLE COMES ON, A WARNING FLASHES, AND THEN THE CAR MOVES ON AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. AFTER DOING THIS SEVERAL TIMES OVER SEVERAL MILES, THE AEB LIGHT COMES ON AND IT DESPLAYS AN ERROR MESSAGE ABOUT THE FRONT RADAR IS NOT WORKING AND THE CRUISE IS DISABLED. ON ONE OF THE OCCASSIONS A LARGE PICKUP TRUCK TOWING A TRAILER WAS RIGHT BEHIND ME WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY PUT ON THE BRAKES. FORTUNATELY, HE WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE HITTING MY CAR. WHEN I HAD THE CAR SERVICED AT THE DEALER, I TOLD THE SERVICE REP ABOUT THE ISSUE. HE INDICATED THAT A SHADOW OR SOMETHING LIKE A LEAF BLOWN ACROSS THE RADAR CAN CAUSE IT TO REACT. I DID NOT NOTICE ANY OCCRENCE OF SUCH. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE FOLLOWING TO CLOSE WILL END UP RAMMING ME IN THE REAR END. AFTER DOING AN INTERNET SEARCH, I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE OCCURENCES OF THIS PROBLEM AND THAT NISSAN HAS SENT OUT SEVERAL TECHNICAL BULLETINS ABOUT THE PROBLEM. AS NOTED ABOVE, THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE EVENTS OF THIS TYPE. IT TYPICALLY HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY.
