Automatic emergency braking engaged with no warning, slamming in the brakes with no obstacle around. I was driving to work and the car slammed on the brakes and flashed a warning light, there were no other cars or anything around luckily. It would have caused a accident if someone were behind me.

Nissan did a recall on emergency braking system fail for which I was not notified. I did not become aware of the recall until after the expiration date and now Nissan refuses to honor the recall even though they are aware of the problem.

I was driving 50mph in a 50mph zone and the Forward Collision Avoidance system activated emergency braking, bringing vehicle to an immediate halt in a lane of traffic. Conditions were wet from earlier rainfall; however, no hazards or vehicles were immediately in front of me. This activation tugged on my seatbelt and chest and collarbone resulting in pain while the vehicle lunged me forward. Due to the immediate breaking of my vehicle, vehicles behind me were forced to quickly break or make a lane change. If the vehicles behind me were not responsive enough, I would-??ve been struck by a vehicle going 40-50mph. The problem has not been reproduced or inspected; however, this has happened 3-4 other times with no attention to the matter.

Every time I drive the vehicle, a "Malfunction" warning appears after several beeps. It displays a collision icon, and states "See Owner's Manual". However, this does not appear in the owner's manual. Additionally, every time I drive the vehicle, there are several beeps and both a "warning (!)" and "collision" icon appear before a message stating that there is "front radar obstruction", despite there being no obstruction. The third and final, and most dangerous issue has happened once in the six days I've had the car so far: A warning appeared that there was a driver on my left that was too close to me despite there not being a vehicle on my left. The emergency brake immediately turned on and slowed my car to a near stop. This happened on the highway in a 65 mph zone. This put my safety and the safety of others at immense risk of collision due to unnecessary and unexpected stopping.

The emergency brake turns on automatically while driving, it pulls the car, so you can't drive. This is very dangerous and can cause an accident. It can be a life and death situation because the car just slows down automatically without you touching anything. Then the forward collision light goes on. When you take the emergency break light off, and turn the car off, the collision light goes off. It has happened to us twice and I have read online that it has happened to others as well. This is very dangerous as it puts everyone's life at risk.

The AEB system in my vehicle was upgraded due to recall in May 2021. On August 17th the AEB system engaged as I was driving down the road, there were no vehicles or obstructions in front of me to cause such action. I did avoid being hit from behind due to quick thinking and pulling to side of road. When the brakes engaged a malfunction warning flashed on my screen. No warnings were issued prior to incident. I called Nissan service they said they were unaware of a problem but I made appt to bring in to be evaluated, they did not find anything wrong and I was charged a diagnostics fee. After some research I did discover there are many other complaints of the same matter and also that there is an ongoing class action lawsuit against Nissan for this problem. I was also told by the Dealership manager that this is a problem with many Nissan vehicles.

In sum, on 7/22/2020, my vehicle was traveling approximately 55mph southbound Interstate 90/94 at Harrison when the forward collision warning activated, and emergency braking occurred. Vehicle speed was reduced to 25mph for several seconds, then alert disengaged. There were no vehicles or obstacles immediately in front of my vehicle, however there were several vehicles behind me and within the lanes on either side of me. The emergency breaking caused my seatbelt to lock, and distract me with auditory and visual alerts, and cause the vehicles behind me to slam on their breaks. This incident could have resulted in a massive pile-up collision. No warning lamps or messages were present prior to malfunction. All warnings occurred during the few seconds of incident. I thought this problem could be an isolated incident of sensitive warning systems within the vehicle, however this has occurred again. On 7/3/2021, my vehicle was traveling northbound Harlem Avenue just north of College Drive over a bridge, when the forward collision warning was activated, and emergency breaking occurred. Yet again, there were no obstacles or vehicles in front of me for roughly ? of a mile. Seatbelt locked, auditory and visual alerts distracted me, and the emergency breaking activated, then disengaged with an audible -??hissing-?? noise. No warning lamps or messages were present prior to malfunction. All warnings occurred during the few seconds of incident. On 7/6/2021, my vehicle was traveling westbound Interstate 90 at the Illinois/Indiana border, when the forward collision warning activated, and emergency breaking occurred. I was surrounded by vehicles on the left and right sides and in the rear. My seatbelt locked for myself and my passenger, and auditory and visual alerts activated and created distraction, and vehicles in the rear having to slow rapidly. No warning lamps or messages were present prior to malfunction. All warnings occurred during the few seconds of incident. The vehicle h

On June 10, 2021, I was driving my vehicle preparing to merge on the interstate to go home when all of a sudden the AEB Warning light activates and I cannot not safely drive my vehicle. My vehicle speed would not increase above 3mph. I had the vehicle towed to my home. Today I contacted the dealership requesting that they have my vehicle towed for service and a loaner (as this is my only means of transportation) and was informed that I would be responsible for the tow, that it would be 3 to 4 days before they could run diagnostics and they have no loaner. My reality is if I had merged onto the interstate and this happened, I could either be dead or lying in the Intensive Care Unit.

While driving at speeds between 30-40 miles per hour my 2018 Nissan Rogue suddenly brakes with no warning. I did not touch the brakes and there was no other vehicle in front or behind me. These incidents really scared me. This Sudden braking has happened six different times between November, 2020 and June 2021. I took it to the dealer(Nashville Downtown Nissan) to repair it when it first happened. They said that they fixed the problem free because it was under the 30,000 mile warranty. Four months later the the car suddenly braked at 40 miles per hour twice within a 3 day period May 27,2021 and May 30, 2021. Around June 1, 2020 I took my 2018 Nissan Rogue back to Nashville Downtown Nissan to repair the sudden braking problem again. They wanted to charge me $2,000 because it was no longer under warranty. I said that I did not have $2,000. So they told me to pay $182 for checking it. Now I drive my 2018 Nissan Rogue in fear of someone crashing into me. Nissan should be ashamed for letting this problem persist without offering A recall.

My 2018 Nissan Rogue has had the auto brakes (aeb) kick in and cause my car to come to a complete stop on multiple different occasions when there was no hazard, car or pedestrians in the road. It has happened on at least five separate occasions and the last three times I was barely able to avoid being rear ended. It has happened on side streets, highway and on interstate roads on various speeds from 30 mph to 75 mph. This is a very dangerous situation and needs to be remedied without charge to customers. We purchased this vehicle so we would have a safe car to drive our children in and this is impeding on the safety standards of this otherwise great vehicle.

Brand new 2018 Nissan Rogue, driving to work at around 6am roughly 30mph. Was jamming out and all of a sudden the car comes to a complete stop without any warning. Laptop bag which was on the front seat slammed into the dash, luckily I was wearing my seatbelt or I would have had Nissan steering wheel for breakfast. This issue happened in 2019 and it is still happening in 2021 after many many attempts to have Nissan take this vehicle back. Nissan I do not feel safe in this vehicle.
