Driver assistance reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers.

Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

The emergency braking engaged the brakes for no reason. Was driving down the road with no other vehicles near me and my vehicle beeped at me and engaged the brakes hard causing a skid. I have read this is a known problem and that Nissan is failing to address this serious safety concern.

The problem that the ABS system suddenly applies the brakes is back depsite the recall a few years ago on the Nissan Rogues. This happens ont he highway and on back streets at whatever speed. Yes the car is availabel for inspection. It happends when alone or in traffic, no rhyme or reason. I have not had the time to take it to the dealer yet to investigate. The light may come on or the car brakes itself slightly causing the car to swerve or pitch. This has happened daily last week and this week. This can cause someone to have an accident and endanger the lives of others. There is no warning, the light either comes on or the brakes are applied all of a sudden.

I was traveling between SC and NY on June 29, 2022. Two hours into the trip I stopped at a rest stop. When I accelerated back to highway speed and entered the freeway the car began decelerating It kept decelerating and I had to pull over to the shoulder. The car shut off. The car would restart and then immediately shut off I tried 5 times with the same result. There were no warning lights display. I had to be towed to the dealership. They tested various systems and then told me that the battery was just weak so they replaced it. This is a safety issue. Traffic on the freeway was very heavy and had been moving very fast. If I had made it into the center lane before the car decided to shut down, there would have been no way to get to the curve without having a major accident.
