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.

The contact sharing a rollaway incident w/ a 2018 Nissan Rogue. The car was in park when the event occurred. I've a fuller version of this, if needed. Details: On 12/16/19, I came home around 4:45pm. It was raining & almost dark. My son was in backseat & I was driving. I parked at the top of my driveway, front 1st. (the driveway is long/sloped, but evens at the top, still slightly angled.) I put the car into park, pressed the parking break (per habit), and, leaving the car completely on, I unlocked my home's door. My son was in the car, listening to a song, as I got the trash cans/mail from the curb. (this all took 5 mins, thus, I know that the car was in park, not neutral or reverse.) I opened the front passenger door & told my son to go in the house. Standing on my driveway, I got my bags & reached across to press the keyless start button. As soon as I did, the car began to roll backwards and hit a tree. The car door pushed me down the driveway. Thankfully, I was able to get leap free, just as the car really picked up speed. It finally crashed into a tree in my neighbor's yard, landing over a drainage ditch B/w our homes. There were only minor injuries. The carseat headrest broke. The visible car damage is on the rear bumper/liftgate and the passenger door. Shaken, I didn't think to take photos or call the police. As I awaited a tow truck, I did not access the car: It was over the ditch, in mud and rain, w/ 1 wheel suspended in air. When the tow driver had me get in to help him move it, and I found the parking break depressed and the car in park. The tow-truck driver may be able to verify this. (the parking brake was not completely pressed to the floor. Maybe halfway.) I have filed a report with Nissan. Nissan stated we were not to blame. Consumer stated she had minor bruises on her right ankle and heel. Consumer was told there was no evidence of the problem. Consumer stated vehicle may be recorded in husband's name at the col

While the vehicle was in motion driving straight at approximately 30 miles per hour, at 7:52am on university blvd at highway 75, the automatic emergency braking system engaged for no reason causing the vehicles brakes to inappropriately engage. This was a failure of the automatic emergency braking system due to the random nature and the fact there was no hazard or condition requiring the automatic emergency braking to become engaged. This is not the first time this has happened and at least one previous safety complaint has been entered. This failure of the automatic emergency braking system do cause the vehicle to stop and is a very serious safety concern.

Emergency braking system is breaking by itself specifically on highway speeds consistently after ~1 hour into a trip. First, brought the vehicle to be fixed around two months ago after multiple breaking attempts at highway speeds. Almost caused a crash because my car started break checking people behind me. The breaks kick on for around a second, then kick off. This happens around twice, which then the car says the front radar is broken and turns the system off. After bringing it in the first time, same results happened. Brought it in a second time earlier this week. Tech confirmed system errors with "C1A16 codes". drove it after bringing it in a second time, and same problem is occurring.

My backup camera would freeze about 2-3 seconds after putting in reverse. It didn't matter if I was still moving or stopped, it would freeze. It was happening every time I backed up. Eventually the live view would come back, but I could never trust the screen or the sensors while backing up. I recently took it into a dealership for a diagnostic, and they said there is an update available to the software to fix it. I would guess my car is not the only one with this problem and want to report this so that if others are having the same problem, the software update can be covered by Nissan. Similar Nissan/infiniti models are doing a recall for a software update to the cameras; I'm not sure why my VIN is not included in that campaign.

The automatic emergency braking system has malfunction many times - at least 10 times in the last year of ownership being January 2018 through November 2019. The most recent specific incident occurred on November 22, 2019 at 12:20pm in clear daylight while driving on paved road, city street, not turning. The rate of speed was approximately 15mph and caused the vehicle to immediately stop. This is very concerning due to the high possibility of serious injury if the malfunction were to occur at a high rate of speed.

While driving my car, highway or side streets, I get a number of different warning lights, all dealing with my tires and braking system. I took my car to the dealership, and was told there is a recall on the ABS. I check my car in for repairs, waited, left and supposing everything was back to normal just to get on the road the next day and get the exact same problem. Took it direct to the dealership, just to find out all they did was just reprogrammed my car to get the lights off. At this point and time, the ser vice department was closed, so I returned the next day, waited for 4 hours just to find out 'it's going to cost me $300-500 and 2 hours ' to repair but they don't have the part. All of this started on Saturday 11/09/2019.

About 2 months after fixing a recall on the aeb system on my 2018 Nissan Rogue, my car's aeb system engaged while driving 75 mph on the interstate causing my vehicle's antilock brakes to kick on and beep a warning to slow down because my car's sensor believed something was in front of me. There was nothing in front of me for miles and fortunately, no one was behind me to slam in to me. My local dealership stated that the problem was a faulty icc sensor, which works complementary with the vehicle's aeb system. Fortunately, it will only cost me the $100 deductible on my extended warranty because at 52K miles, I'm over warranty, but Nissan needs to correct this problem to be a safety issue and fix regardless of the mileage on each vehicle.

My Rogue has been brought in 4 times for safety issues. I have contacted Nissan and not getting anywhere. All my sensor lights came on and ABS. My car broke on the freeway going 70 mph to 50 mph. Luckily no one was behind me. That happened in May 2019. I was terrified to drive and used my husband's car. I looked up and they said if ABS lights you should not drive and have it towed because it could start a fire! then it happened again and I was on a side street going 40 mph and it braked to 30 and there wasn't anything in front of me. I don't want to drive this car at all. I want them to just take it back. I drive as a home care nurse for a living and it is not safe when driving is a big part of my job. I have brought ther car in 4 times! not safe!!!!

While in motion (approximately 45-50 mph) on a bridge approaching a highway my vehicle self-braked. I did not brake, the vehicle did. There was nothing close to me, in front, or behind me at the time. The vehicle was screeching from the braking. Once I was able to control the vehicle, I got off the highway. I contacted my dealership and they weren't phased, I was told perhaps the sensor probably saw something. This is not safe, and I am very concerned to drive my vehicle.

Twice I have gotten this error (see attached photos) while merging onto interstate in March 2019 I only took photos the first time and once I have had the brakes automatically attempt to stop the car on a regular road in July 2019. I did contact the local Nissan dealer and was told my car was not in the group to have repair.

My Nissan Rogue has experienced the same issue 3 times in a 2 month period. 1st time - driving, crossing a busy intersection front end shuddered, shook heavily, check engine light came on. I was able to drive it to local mechanic who ran diagnostics and stated there were too many codes regarding the electric system and recommended I take it to dealership. Took it to local dealer, diagnostics were run again, and they reported they were not sure of the issue, suspected damage to the maf sensor (which was then throwing off the report of all other sensors). They replaced it with Nissan manufactured part and electric tape and I was told it was good to go. 2nd time - stationary making a left onto busy main street, car shuddered, stalled, no check engine light completely stopped. Unable to drive it, when changing gears it just coasted backwards (due to the hill I was on). Had it towed to the same dealer, told the same thing as previous visit 'not sure what's wrong, probably the sensor, ' was told they replaced it again with Nissan manufactured part and 'taped up real good this time.' However could not guarantee it wouldn't happen again, also still no idea what exactly caused the stalling. 3rd time- driving straight after being stopped at res light, car stalls, engine light back on, and unable to drive it. The car coasted to the nearest shoulder and now waiting for a tow truck to take me to a different dealership, whom hopefully can fix the problem that continues to happen.

Takata recall 2 occasions vehicle was in motion, once 35+ mph and 40mph. Car literally stopped in the middle of the road with moving traffic. Dealership claimed it was the sensor the first time & switched it. Happened second time today & almost caused multiple fatal wrecks. Both times on busy roads & this time exiting a bridge into on coming traffic and multiple lanes. I'm scared to drive this vehicle. Bought it brand new. Fist couple months had sent video and reported on 3 occasions where the radio screen was also defective and they replaced it. On both occasions this has been traumatizing and just looking at the computer is not enough! I put down $8K and traded in a vehicle to buy my first new car, only for it to become a death trap!

While moving at both highway speeds or speeds between 20 -40 mph, the emergency braking system would engage without warning and without an object in front of the vehicle. This would cause the brakes to engage, the vehicle to shudder until I could re-take control, and an error alert on the dash board. The dealer's recommendation was to turn off the radar assisted emergency braking every time I got into the vehicle, as it was a "flawed technology". after multiple events and trips to the dealer, they replaced the part and updated the software.

Aeb system randomly alerts or engages while driving even with no obstructions. Error says "unavailable front radar due to obstructions" no obstructions are visible on road. Occurs while driving 10-20mph or 50+ on highway. Second complaint, infotainment system randomly restarts/reboots on its own during the day.
