1 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 04/18/2026

It has occurred on a few occasions where the emergency braking system has enabled with no obstructions nearby most commonly while backing up into a parking spot but the recent situation of it automatically breaking on the highway while doing 60 with no other vehicles nearby, my wife attempted the gas pedal to disengage the system but it did not affect the braking.

2 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 02/22/2024

The car keeps braking like I've been in an accident when I travel under an overpass. It doesn't do it every time, just sometimes. I've had it at the dealer, don moore in owensboro, ky. And since it doesn't show any codes they can't/won't do anything about it. I don't feel safe driving this car for fear it will slam on the brakes at any time. It has happened 3 times so far. It also did it almost, once, when driving down the main street in town. It all of the sudden showed the cameras and the lights came up on the dash but luckily it didn't brake. Thank you.

3 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 05/29/2023

The forward collision warning is stuck on saying malfunction. Sometimes the car brakes without warning, activating the automatic emergency braking and stopping suddenly. This is dangerous.

4 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 01/28/2023

While driving down interstate the car's automatic collision breaking system activated and brought the car to an immediate stop. While breaking the information screen in the steering wheel area flashed red with an explanation point symbol but as soon as the breaking was done it went away and no other lights appeared on the dash indicating an issue. There was nothing that should have triggered the automatic collision braking system to have engaged. Had someone been directly behind me this could have easily caused an accident by them slamming into the back of my car as nothing would have caused them to expect sudden breaking by me. The unexpected sudden breaking happened twice within a 10 minute window while driving on interstate. I have driven it minimally since so I could have it looked at by the dealer to review the issue as it is under warranty and I felt it unsafe to drive. The car has been inspected by a Nissan dealer and they are unable to reproduce the issue and are not taking any repair action at this time.

5 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2022

Vehicle routinely triggers the automatic emergency braking system when approaching a certain overpass. Speeds are usually around 40 to 50 mph. Occasionally triggers at other locations where no obstacle should be triggering it. Local Nissan dealer has inspected the system several times, including sending to a specialist, and found no defect.

6 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 02/18/2022

We've had the vehicle over a year and have never been able to get used to the forward and backward collision avoidance emergency braking, as it seems to activate for no reason at all. Multiple times this has happened to my wife, the primary driver. She's too anxious to drive it on days with inclement weather when it's the worst. We have the car being evaluated by the dealer, if they can't repair or disable, sensors and auto braking then I'm going to get them to buy it back from me.

7 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 05/02/2021

I was driving at approximately 25 mph and my vehicle suddenly slammed on the brakes without warning. A red warning screen lit up on my dash. There were no pedestrians or other vehicles in front of me. Luckily, the car behind me was able to stop without hitting me.

8 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 04/03/2021

I have a 2020 Nissan Murano that had 3 occurrences in a 48 hour period where the automatic emergency braking system caused my car to stop immediately with no warning or obstruction in the road. The 1st incident occurred when I was traveling approximately 30 miles per hour on a city street. My car went from 30 to 0 with no warning. The motor didn't stall out, the car was still idling but the car just stopped on the road. I was not braking at the time. I'm thankful no vehicle was traveling behind me at the time. The next 2 occurrences happened while backing out of my drive way. Again there was nothing in the way to obstruct the vehicle from backing out. No maintenance lights or warning lights showed up. When I took my vehicle to the dealership, they found nothing wrong. The computer didn't show anything was in need of repair. I told them there was no maintenance or warning light that showed on any of the 3 occurrences.
