I recently purchased my 2018 Nissan Rogue in August of 2020 and as of March 2021, I've had 5 instances where the front radar system for the cruise control feature malfunctioned while driving on the highway. The front radar sensor is part of the intelligent forward warning system in Nissans and its job is to detect the distance between vehicles. The sensor is tied to the cruise control and emergency braking system. The fault consists of a front radar obstruction warning light malfunction illuminating leading to the disengagement of the cruise control feature (if engaged prior to the malfunction) or the cruise control feature and the emergency braking system becoming disabled. Also, when the fault appears, the brakes are abruptly applied before being released which is a very serious safety issue especially when driving during inclement weather as your relying on the integrity of your braking system. I took the vehicle to my local Nissan dealership and they mentioned that there were no current recalls in place for this particular issue and that the system would need to be updated with the latest software update to see if the problem is corrected. I was told that I would have to pay approximately $150 to install the update to the system, which to me should be covered by the company due to implied safety issues. I was surprised to hear that a recall was not in place for this system, considering this has been a known issue since 2014 and yet the Nissan company has yet to issue any type of safety recall for the Rogue models, hence my safety complaint. I fear that if this problem isn't corrected soon an unsuspecting driver could get hurt!.
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.
The dynamic radar cruise control will accelerate when another vehicle starts to enter the lane in front of the vehicle. It will eventually fully detect the vehicle and decelerate, but I usually have to slam on the brakes to prevent from getting too close to the recently merged car.
Our 2018 Nissan Rogue aeb system is false braking when it shouldn�t. The aeb false braking has almost caused multiple accidents if we didn't over power the brake system or turn it off quickly. Also the aeb system turns itself off while the car is on cruise control at freeway speeds in rain, bright sunlight, or bumpy road conditions. This also has almost caused our car to be rear ended by its abrupt slowing down. This problem has occurred multiple times over the one year we have owned this car.
Tl the contact owns a 2018 Nissan Rogue. While operating the vehicle, the brake assist randomly activated and caused the vehicle to decelerate and/or stop. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a representative was sent to examine the vehicle at priority Nissan (6390 richmond rd, williamsburg, va). The front sensors were replaced and a software update was performed, but the failures continued. Also, while in reverse, the rear sensors malfunctioned and failed to alert that a second vehicle was positioned in the rear, which could cause the driver to back into another vehicle. In addition, while driving with the cruise control engaged and set at 55 mph, the speed would increase on its own while driving on a curved road. The cause of the failures was not determined. The failure mileage was 5,000.
