Driving approximately 35mph and the cars automatic emergency brake system triggered, car came to a complete stop. Thankfully there were no other cars in front or behind me at the time. This was on a local residential road.
The automatic emergency braking system on my 2017 Rogue engaged yesterday during highway driving at roughly 60 mph. What a horrifically terrifying event. I was traveling within a single lane on a 3 lane highway when out of the blue the brakes locked up. The vehicle shuddered and the car went from 60 mph to about 15-20 mph in a matter of a couple hundred feet. It felt as though several tires had blown out at once or the automatic transmission had completely locked up. I remember hearing an audible chime and seeing something on the console panel flashing what I believe to be red warning light while I was fighting to retain control of the vehicle. Within a period of about 3-5 seconds the whole event was over and the vehicle had abruptly slowed itself to the aforementioned speed. Fortunately at the time the traffic was light and there was not another vehicle directly behind me or the consequences of this event would have ended tragically. The important thing to note is that this was relatively open road at the time and there were no other vehicles or obstructions in front or to the sides of the vehicle when this occurred. The vehicle has been promptly turned over to Nissan for a full review and repair of the forward emergency braking system.
When driving the car in areas with uneven streets or street repairs plancks on ground either autimatic breaks would activate or car wouldn't slow down when breaks were hit. While driving on an unevenly paved road at about 30M/P/H the breaks were pressed & car did not slow down until it collided with another vehicle.
The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. While traveling approximately 35 mph, the vehicle started to decelerate, the brakes seized, and the anti-lock brake system warning indicator illuminated. The front wheels wanted to spin, but they were locked. The vehicle was scheduled to be diagnosed by family Nissan of Laredo (3701 E saunders St, Laredo, tx 78041) on December 2, 2019. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 17,776.
While driving my 2017 Nissan Rogue this week, for no apparent reason, the brake assist feature engaged. I was driving between 30-40 mph, nothing in my path, when suddenly the brakes engaged, causing what sounded like a grinding sound and my vehicle nearly coming to a stop with rush hour traffic behind me. This has happened twice since I've owned the car, with the previous time being approximately a month or two ago. I will be taking my vehicle in to my local Nissan dealership to inspect, and hopefully this is taken seriously, and promptly corrected, as this could potentially cause a serious accident.

As I was driving my car at 20-25mph, my car suddenly beeped and slammed on the emergency break out of no where. At first I thought it was my tires. I got all 4 tires fixed but that didn't resolve the issue. I am afraid this can happen on the freeway with my children. My Nissan 2018 rouge has a sensor problem.
This is my second report, I paid for an ABS control update for my Nissan rouge 2017 and two weeks later my rouge started stopping again and slowing down again while driving it. I have kept this vehicle parked in my garage because I am very afraid to drive it because it is unsafe. I feel cheated because I'm still paying a note on a car that I cannot drive because it is unsafe for anyone. I received a notice in the mail from Nissan to bring my 2017 Nissan rouge in to have the same update only this time they are offering the update for free, I have no faith that the update will work. I'm just getting the run around from Nissan,
Emergency brake engaged suddenl, it has happened there different times while in motion. Twice while driving on the street and the last time pulling into my garage.
On Tuesday, Aug. 27, I drove my Rogue from my job at the times-tribune newspaper in scranton, pa on interstate 84 East to visit my brother in brewster N.Y. after I exited the interstate and headed toward my brother's house, my Rogue just stopped while I was driving. The stop was short, and luckily the car behind me was not that close. My Rogue then continued to drive. There was nothing in front of me or on the sides to cause the automatic emergency braking to activate like this. I was driving straight on a city road. I did cross railroad tracks and it happened right after that.. at the time, I didn't know what to think. I thought maybe there was some kind of electrical issue. I didn't bring it in because it drove fine after that and didn't recur. Since then, my Rogue has driven normally. It wasn't until yesterday when I saw all the articles about other people complaining about their Rogue's automatic emergency braking stopping - just like mine did - that I realized this is what happened to me in my Rogue. I am scared that this is going to happen again while I'm driving my car and cause me to get in an accident. I have no other mode of transportation and must get to work. My daily commute is 45 minutes to an hour each way. I do not know what to do about this issue. I cannot find any information about how to get this fixed, and frankly, I cannot afford an expensive repair on something that should not be happening. I also cannot afford to get a rental car while my Rogue gets fixed.
Emergency braking system activated on the freeway at 40 mph with no obstacle to trigger it. Vehicle ahead of me was at least 4 car lengths ahead. I brought it to the dealer who said it was a known calibration issue and repaired free of charge.
Brakes suddenly turned on for no reason. Screen behind steering wheel indicated something about the front brake radar being activated. I was driving at 45 on a 45 mph road when it went off. Steering wheel shook. An unexpected event like this could of created an accident with the on coming traffic. Called dealer to figure out how to cut the wires on this defective product. Just got something in mail about a recall yesterday, a little too late!
On 4 different occasions within less than 60 days, my 2017 Nissan Rogue has tried to "stop" on its own while I have been driving for no reason. There is nothing in front of me on the sides of me or close behind me when it occurs. It has varied in the speeds I have been driving, it hasn't happened during one specific speed. When it occurs, it beeps multiple times and I can hear my brakes locking up for a split second and then it stops. The first time it happened, I was going around 30 mph in town (thankfully I wasn't on the interstate) and I truly thought my car had come to a complete stop or died right there in the road. Each time my car messes up, it always makes the same noise, makes the same 3-4 beeps and then tries to lock up. I took it to my local Nissan store in jackson, ms and they informed me that nothing was wrong with my car- but my gut just says other wise. It scares me to think that this might happen on the interstate, at a much higher speed, with my family in the car with me. Please help!
I was driving though an intersection with no obstructions in front of me & my automatic emergency braking engaged for no reason. The chime sounded, the car stopped instantaneously & a malfunction screen came up on my dashboard. I was lucky there wasn't anyone behind me or I would have gotten rear ended. I have spoken to the dealership & have made an appointment, but I am told that there is no recall regarding this issue & I will have to pay to have it diagnosed & fixed. I am baffled that something that could cause serious harm to drivers hasn't been recalled or addressed. I drive the Pennsylvania turnpike everyday to work which has a 70 mph speed limit & I can tell you, I do not feel safe knowing that this could happen at that speed with many cars around me. I really hope to see this issue be listed as a recall in the very near future!
Driving on interstate about 10 mph. Car suddenly makes this loud noise and shuts off. It did restart and I didn't lose electrical as I was on blue tooth call but if happened when I was going faster this would have been a catastrophe!. this is the second time though. The first time I was in parking lot and I thought I did something as it was a new car. I was not touching anything but steering wheel and lightly touching brake as I was in traffic but there was quite some room between me and the car ahead.
On August 16, 2019, while driving under a toll both on a turnpike, the automatic emergency breaking system engaged (flashing lights, warning beeps and a grinding noise) while I was driving about 30 to 40 mph, causing the car to stall and forcibly jerk. This almost caused me to collide against the toll booth. There was no obstruction ahead. This had already happened 2 other times and the dealership could not find anything wrong with it. I took it immediately after it happened the third time and the dealership acknowledged that they had a technical service bulletin (tsb) and reprogrammed the sensors. On their notes, they wrote "reprogram icc and adas control units (warranty) (applicable tsb)". I have driven under a toll booth after and have not experienced anything similar, however, this should have been a recall as this almost caused an accident. My Rogue only has a little over 20,000 miles on it.
I was driving and the car made a loud beeping noise and stopped on it's own. It breaked and I had no control over the breaks or acceleration. The emergency break system went off. A light came on on the dashboard that said 'malfunction! check owner's manual.' (see pic). It was really scary. I had my 2 year old daughter in the car. I can't imagine what would have happened if I were on the highway with a truck behind me! this is a known issue and I know it's being investigated, but this needs to go away. This is so so unsafe!
I was driving up a ramp in a parking garage, nothing in front of me or in my cross way, the vehicle slammed on it's brakes by itself. Thankfully I was not driving fast and the car behind me was able to also slam on their brakes to avoid hitting me. I've driven this parking garage numerous times over the almost 2 years of owing this vehicle without this happening before. My dealership (mcgrath Nissan in elgin, Illinois) told me this was normal and I should only be concerned if it happens on an open road. This is a safety issue in my opinion and should not be shrugged off by Nissan.
Reference total brake failure; 8 issues already reported to NHTSA on the Nissan Rogue, involving 8 wrecks, 5 injuries, guess they are waiting for someone to be killed before addressing the situation. I was West bound I-76 out of denver co in my 2017 Nissan rouge, when we came upon an accident scene in the extreme left lane next to the East/West concrete lane divider, I slowed down with the rest of the traffic as we attempted to merge into the right lane to get around the accident, traffic was moving at about 10-15 mph or slower, as I looked at the right lane for space to merge, a car in the right lane jumped in fornt of me into the lane the accident was in, that lane was stopped, he then slammed on his brakes, I had about15-20 feet between us, I hit my brakes hard, the pedal went all the way to the floor, no brakes. I told wife to hang on we then hit his car coming in contact with his bumper hitch which stuck out about 10 inches.I was standing on the brake so hard my leg cramped up! we both got our of our cars, he saw no damage to his, got back in and left the scene as the lane had then started moving again, as we were past the accident. Actually the vehicles involved in the accident we were avoiding had been moved to the left safety lane but one a pickup was protruding into left lane of traffic causing us to have to merger to the right to pass, but still stay in basic left lane, that was when he made move in front of me..have been driving 64 years, 40 professionally, never had a charge accident. Now have one due to failure of the brakes on 2 year old car with 25,000 miles on it.. not the first time for Nissan as stated above, are they waiting for people to get killed before they address a major safety issue? at the least a vehicle check should be issued to Nissan! we needed to rent a car from enterprise to finish our trip, over $4500 damage to the vehicle.
The automatic braking system deploys at random resulting in near rear end collisions. The car has braked forcibly when driving over speed bumps, metal plates on the road, and railroad tracks. The dealer service department won't replace the detection system saying that can't "recreate" the problem. It can't be disabled permanently. Please insist on a recall. This is so dangerous! owners should be warned to turn it off manually every time they enter their cars.
I was pulling into a driveway in the city, and then aeb started to beep and then suddenly stopped the car (the brakes made a grinding noise, they stopped that hard). There was no obstruction in front of the sensor, and I was already applying the brake and going less than 10 mph.
