1 Car Accelerates On Its Own problem

Failure Date: 02/10/2020

While driving my 2018 Nissan Rogue to work on a sunny florida morning, I experienced a technical issue with my vehicle around 8:00 am est. While slowing down applying my brakes as I approached a major intersection with traffic, my Rogue suddenly accelerated on its own accord causing me to crash into a vehicle in front of me. During the acceleration, the vehicle's onboard automated emergency braking system was sounding alarms but did not brake the vehicle. Instead it felt like the vehicle was accelerated instead. A loud grinding sound could be heard at the point of impact with the vehicle in front of me and for about a second or so afterwards. Thankfully the speed was low only resulting in minor body damage to my vehicle and no visible damage to the other vehicle. The end result was I sustained multiple back injuries - lower and neck regions simultaneously. I suspect this is due to the fact I went from slowing down to sudden acceleration and then finally to full sudden stop. Thankfully, I was the only person in my vehicle. All of this was caught on my dash camera including the sounds. The vehicle was taking to bill ray Nissan in longwood, FL which were unable to pull any diagnostic codes and have not been able to duplicate the issue. When depressing a brake to slow a vehicle down, the vehicle should not accelerate by itself. This is a significant safety issue. I will be glad to submit a copy of the dash camera footage for review.
