The problem that the ABS system suddenly applies the brakes is back depsite the recall a few years ago on the Nissan Rogues. This happens ont he highway and on back streets at whatever speed. Yes the car is availabel for inspection. It happends when alone or in traffic, no rhyme or reason. I have not had the time to take it to the dealer yet to investigate. The light may come on or the car brakes itself slightly causing the car to swerve or pitch. This has happened daily last week and this week. This can cause someone to have an accident and endanger the lives of others. There is no warning, the light either comes on or the brakes are applied all of a sudden.
On several separate occasions my brakes locked up while driving my 2018 Nissan Rouge Sport, including yesterday January 2, 2022, luckily I was trying to leave a gas station and not on the interstate like the prior incident. I didn't understand what was happening this morning January 3rd, when I started researching the strange orange indicator light that keeps displaying and why my brakes keeps locking and I can't do anything until they release themselves. I found several complaints of people having the same issue as I. This was a scary situation, I was 91 miles from home when this brake incident occurred again. I looked up recalls and there is no recall for the braking malfunction for my vehicle, I can't keep playing Russian Roulette with this vehicle and my life, I drive my 5 year old grandson in this car. Now that I know the issue I'm scared of driving for fear of having an accident and worst case scenario me or my grandson being killed if the brakes locked on the highway and someone slams into the rear of the vehicle. This is definitely a safely hazzard that needs to be resolved. I can't believe I had to research to find that this was an ongoing problem that's being kept quiet. Who has to die before major issues such as this are corrected, we are consumers who put their trust in the hands of automakers and manufacturers to ensure we are purchasing safe vehicles. Like myself and so many others, our intent is to purchase good quality vehicles, which includes safety as the number one feature. My vehicle is definitely not safe and I don't want to keep putting myself or my grandson in harm's way due to no fault of our own.
Car Flashes a warning display on screen red brake light appears and car slams on breaks for no reason nothing around or in front of car. Has happened 3 times.
When approaching an intersection, the brake pedal was unable to be used, locked up. With no brakes, the result was a collision. The front collision detection that constantly warned falsely on the dash. This failed to work prior to the collision at this time. Automatic brakes did not engage either resulting in a serious crash. Nissan dealership is inspecting the brake booster, and brake system.

There were clicking noises while applying the brake at the previous stop before the collision. About 100 yards before a red light I was pushing on the brake pedal but it would only go half way down. There was no response on the brakes. Ended in collision with another vehicle
I was on the highway driving to sheboygan, wi from Chicago, il. I had the cruise control on. I was going 80 in the fast lane. My car out of nowhere slowed down on its own abruptly almost causing a 4 car collision. I quickly turned on to the shoulder and once my car came to a stop the car died. I tried to turn it back on and nothing happened. I had no sensors or warning lights to give me some type of clue as to what happened. About 3 months ago, going over railroad tracks my car abruptly slammed on the brakes on its own and came to a stop on the tracks. I was unable to accelerate. I had to turn the car off N then back on to be able to drive off the tracks.
On four occasions my car has randomly started flashing a light on my dash and than grabbing the brakes as if someone or something was in front of me, on all four occasions there has been no one in front of me, but there has been people behind me that have had to swerve out of the way. The vehicle is brand new with less than 40K miles and is becoming more and more dangerous for my children and I.

Driving forward on burke road going around a bend the braking system just locked up causing the rouge sport to go off the road causing damage to car. After that the malfunction light came on. This is the first time it happened and have drove in the unit since 2018 never had anything let that happen. Service department says they can't run a computer diagnose.
Driving about 50mph, nobody else on the road (hwy 152 in mustang ok) at around 10pm. On it's own, the vehicle starts beeping, dash flashes a yellow triangle symbol and then the automatic emergency braking system applied the brakes out of nowhere bringing us down to about 15 mph before we regained control of it. Again, there was no one else on the road, either direction, in front of, beside, or behind us. There are plenty of streetlights and visibility was very clear, we did not see an animal, or trash blowing across the road, or anything else that could have triggered it. I have an appointment with the dealer on Monday but the service tech sounded like they had never hear of this before even though there is a tsb for it. They basically just said there is no recal for it, but we'll check it out.
