1 Brake Sensor problem

Failure Date: 11/22/2020

On 11/22/020 while I was driving on the 605 freeway going about 65 miles an hour, my vehicle came to a sudden and unexpected stop. This is the third time the anti collision sensor malfunctioned. There were no vehicles in front of me and the dashboard warning was indicating a malfunction on the emergency breaking system. I have reported the two prior incidents to Nissan consumer affairs and they have stated there is nothing wrong with my vehice. The dealership replaced the original sensor after the vehicle made a sudden stop six months after I first purchased the vehicle. The sensor warning light was still an issue after the replacement and the dealership then felt adjusting the sensors distance will resolve the problem. . It did not. . . My vehicle was almost in a collision as it came to another sudden and unexpected stop after a few months after while I was making a left hand turn in the intersection. The dealership contacted Nissan and were advised to stabilize the sensor with a bracket. None of the methods Nissan has used resolved the sensor malfunction. Nissan dealership insisted that my vehicle was safe to drive and insisted they could not duplicate the sensor malfunction. On 11/22/2020 my vehicle almost caused a rear end collision as it again made a sudden and unexpected stop. The dealership failed to take immediate action and despite me having a video and pictures of the dashboards warning light on. The dealership stated there is nothing wrong with my vehicle and they could not duplicate the issue. I believe my vehicle is a hazard on the road and can potentially cause a severe accident due to the faulty emergency breaking system. The dealerships advice is to get back in my car because they can not duplicate the issue, they also do not want to see the video or the picture of the dashboard with the malfunction warning display.

3 Brake Sensor problem

Failure Date: 10/19/2019

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.

6 Brake Sensor problem

Failure Date: 08/16/2019

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.

7 Brake Sensor problem

Failure Date: 04/05/2019

As I was driving through the parking garage at work, going about 20 mph, my car suddenly and very abruptly came to a screeching halt. My automatic emergency brake warning had beeped only twice before the car stopped. There was nothing in front of my car. No people or car or anything. If anybody had been behind me they might have run into me. This incident happened about a week after I took the car to Nissan to have them fix the faulty front sensor. They had first tried an update and then decided to replace the sensor. Obviously this did nothing since the sensor still did not work a week later. I took the car back in again and Nissan said nothing could be done. They told me I had the option to turn the feature off but every time I turn the car on I have to remember to turn the feature off as it automatically turns itself back on again. This seems unacceptable to me that I am paying lots of money for a car with a feature that has already put my life, as well as others� lives in danger!.

8 Brake Sensor problem

Failure Date: 03/02/2019

My car is Nissan Rogue 2017. 5. I am facing an issue related to automatic emergency break malfunction. The emergency break was applied without any reason while I was going in parking garage, passing under bridges, and crossing railroad. Sometimes the forward emergency break warning light was blinking without any reason even when the car was parked. I called Nissan consumer affaires on this issue. I was told to go to the dealer. I took my car to the dealership for 5 times. They did sensor change two times. First time they did front sensor change. Second time they did steering sensor change. Other times they tested and told there is no issue as they were unable to replicate the issue. This issue is not being happened frequently. Last night I faced the same issue. I do not know how to proceed further.

9 Brake Sensor problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2019

2017 Nissan Rogue sl - platinum. Forward impact collision sensor has been having issues for ever a year now. It was in the shop at the dealership the week after I bought it for this issue. The car brakes on its own and wont let you drive forward. I have taken it to the dealership and reported it to Nissan USA multiple times, and have multiple cases open. The dealership has had it in their shop 8 times soon to be 9, which is 8-9 full days in the shop (taking it in next week to get done again). They are now refusing to replace/fix the part for free. The car has this problem when I am trying to drive. It has happened on back streets, highways, turning left, turning right. It senses something that isn't there and errors out and stops. 10-30 seconds later it lets you go again. This has been happening between March 2019 and may 2020 nonstop reprogrammed multiple times replaced sensor 1x (replacing for the second time next week so 2x total replacements on part) re-calibrated multiple times computer updated multiple times.

10 Brake Sensor problem

Failure Date: 10/03/2018

Tl the contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. While driving approximately 50 mph, the sensor in the front bumper engaged and locked the brakes, causing the vehicle to slow down. The "system lock-down" indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to ted russell Nissan (865-223-6744, located at 8565 kingston pike, knoxville, TN 37919) where the sensors were replaced, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered to pay 50 percent of the repair costs. The vehicle was repaired, but the contact stated that the safety issue was not addressed. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000. The VIN was not provided.

11 Brake Sensor problem

Failure Date: 07/09/2018

In early 2018 the emergency braking system has twice fully engaged bringing the vehicle to a stop when no apparent obstruction or vehicle was observed. Fortunately both times nobody was behind me. The 1st incident occurred on a city surface street at night. Upon returning the next day I saw metal plates placed in the roadway at same location for construction purposes. At the time I suspected the plates caused the emergency braking system to trigger unexpectedly. A several weeks/months later the system again fully triggered when crossing a railroad track on a city surface street. I assumed something on the crossing triggered the radar, although have crossed many times since without incident. Both times the braking system engaged there was little to no warning it was about to, just very rapid beeping and immediate brake engagement. I have also had multiple instances where the radar begins to trigger apparently due to fence posts or similar items along roads, but does not engage the brake. I have also had messages the collision sensor has turned itself off only to turn itself back on several hours later or after the car has been shut down and restarted. The emergency braking system should be fixed as the sudden stop should you be in traffic could easily result in an accident and may even cause whiplash among pssengers if traveling at a high rate of speed.

12 Brake Sensor problem

Failure Date: 04/11/2018

Since purchasing the named vehicle in September 2017 brand new it has been in the shop for repairs a total of 8 times and is now sitting at the dealership because I refuse to get back into the vehicle. The car has been in the shop on several occasions concerning the brakes. Severe amounts or brake dust, brakes squealing and grinding. Rough idle, vibration and veering to the right. Duplicated and found cause engine mounts misaligned and vacuum hose was rattling. Also had to adjust the base idle. Brake dust again. Cup holder disassembled from the armrest. Collision sensor warning light malfunction came on without justifiable cause. Manufacturer defect with the front grill (warped) duplicated. The entire grill was replaced. Chirping in the window. Duplicated and the surface area was cleaned which occurred again. Detected it was the seatbelt harness. The car had a popping noise when turning and in reverse. Duplicated coming from the mount. Installed new coil, mount boot, and dampener. Several issues have occurred and there's more. This vehicle is not safe neither reliable. Each of the issues occurred while driving on the street, highway and while turning. I have over 30 pages of service orders. Too many to upload. I will upload a few important to show proof.

13 Brake Sensor problem

Failure Date: 01/28/2018

Sunday January 28, 2018 a second totally unnecessary deployment again occurred, this time at @ 8:43 am. I was again on the southbound major deegan expressway, having entered south of yonkers avenue, but this time in the right hand lane on a slight downhill curve to the left, past mclean avenue overpass, speed 52 mph with the cruise control engaged, when the forward emergency brake system automatically deployed, for about 2 to 3 seconds. Again, there was no car immediately in front of me; no debris on the roadway; nothing that would alert the sensor. After emailing the yorktown Nissan new car dealer last week January. 25th after the first such incident, several hours later I had received no response. I then called the dealer and was directed to the service department. The receptionist would not put me through to the service manager, but instead allegedly spoke with a service dept. Person, and repliedy to me that "most likely there is dirt covering the sensor". I inquired where the sensor is, and what it looked like. She replied "the sensor looks like a little camera and it's either in your grill or in your bumper". I examined the sensor but did not detect any piece of dirt or anything covering the sensor. I'm very worried about this unexplained emergency deployment of the forward braking system, and would appreciate your response on this matter, and who to contact to see if other Nissan owners have similar experiences, and try to identify if there is any defect in the system. I am extremely worried about being rear-ended by another car when the system, for no reason, deploys the emergency braking.

14 Brake Sensor problem

Failure Date: 12/03/2017

There is a safety issue with the front braking system. There is even a document send to the Nissan dealerships notifying them that it is a known issue, but there is no fix as of yet the engineers cannot even find a cause for the issue. I asked for a copy of the letter, but, of course, it is a "confidential" document and only privileged parties are able to have access to it. What happens is there will be an audible beeping (two-three times) and immediately after your car will slam on the brakes on it own, which in turn kicks on the anti-lock brakes. There will be nothing on the sensor or nothing in your path in front of you. It does this spontaneously. This was while I was driving!!!! this has happened to me 3 times already. When hooked up to a diagnostic tester, it throws a code that there was something in front of the sensor. The date marked on this claim/report was the last time it has happened. . . . So far. . . .
