Additionally, the contact stated after his wife had parked the vehicle with the engine running, the vehicle started to rollaway. The contact stated that while his wife was running after the vehicle to stop it, she fell on the ground. The vehicle hit the bridge of the residence and stopped. The contact's wife sought medical assistance a few days later and was informed that she had sustained a concussion, headaches and bruises on the legs, arms and belly. The vehicle was driven back to the enterprise lot, where the contact was advised that the vehicle was safe to drive. The contact was charged a fee for the damages that the vehicle had sustained due to the collision. There was no further information provided. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist because the contact was not the owner of the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

I was caught in a snowstorm, driving about 5 mph. Suddenly, the vehicle swerved to the left and I lost complete control; the brakes locked up. The vehicle spun about 145° degrees before coming to a stop perpendicular to the road; subsequently rear-ended from behind. The moment was surreal; I’ve never felt closer to a life-threatening incident because I had zero control over the car: I was spared only because there was no oncoming traffic. My biggest concern is why the safety systems failed to intervene. During the incident, the abs did nothing. Traction control, nothing. No warning lights came on. It’s mind blowing that the car skidded about 145° degrees without any intervention from the abs and traction control systems. With modern 4-channel abs and advanced traction control (vehicle dynamic control) safety systems, the car should have attempted to correct itself. Because I was at a standstill, I was braking the entire time; I didn’t jam the brakes or steer the vehicle. To make matters worse, the car was in snow mode awd. One hypothesis is a glitch where vehicle dynamic control won’t operate in snow mode to give maximum engine performance. But at the cost of reduced safety and traction. Or perhaps the safety systems are not working as intended. The emergency brake malfunction light occasionally comes on when idling and several malfunction messages once during a long trip. However, these were sporadic and did not appear before this incident. Moreover, the maintenance person at my apartment recently experienced the same issue. While on the road with his new 2021 Nissan Rogue, his car spun out of control four times. He's driven in the snow in other vehicles without a problem, and will never drive the Rogue in snow again. Because this vehicle failed in a critical safety scenario, I’m requesting Nissan carefully inspect the safety systems, including the anti-lock braking system (abs) and vehicle dynamic control free of charge. Will escalate this further if needed.
