While driving the automatic brake stopped the car while turning in a curve. However in another incident I was cut off and brakes did not automatically stop. The brakes works when they want too. Not reliable or safe. Separately, the steering wheel randomly squeaks while turning. It doesn't do it often, every other month or so I will hear the speaking sound.

issues with false activations of emergency braking, nissan acknowledges issues in technical service bulletins but doesn't feel is enough to create a recall or special coverage even tho is a major safety issue, imagine it happening on the highway, which read it has and there is a semi behind you, could result in death very easily. brakes will randomly lock up the car to a dead stop out of nowhere and flash bunch of warning lights. have a friend with a nissan car that did same thing and caused a major accident with injuries. i am a certified master technician and i find this very concerning and needs to be addressed. will be having an independent mobile programmer update the software which isnt listed for 2019s in the technical service bulletin only for 17-18. and hope that it never happens again, but that will all be out of pocket.

I have a 2019 Nissan rogue. I was driving on the freeway and my emergency breaks went off for no reason. The car in front of me was more than 50 feet away. Thankfully we were in moderate traffic and the car behind me was able to swerve to avoid rear ending me. I searched online and other rogue owners have had the same problem. Nissan needs to recall the AEB system in these cars. I am glad I have a dash cam and was able to record the incident. I don’t feel safe driving my car knowing this is a common problem.

The fuel temperature sensor is faulty.The car is no longer under warranty but is only 31k miles, the fuel temperature sensor can be purchased by itself so the entire fuel pump has to be replaced and they’re very expensive.I know this is a common problem with this temperature sensor. Also the electronic emergency button stopped working about 2 years ago.

Crash reported

AES went off when nothing was around multiple times and has caused my car to lock up the steering wheel, breaks, gas and gear shift causing me to not have any control of my car as the car took over. Due to the automatic brake system went off it cost me to have an accident and ruin my car. Nissan said that they fixed this issue but I have had multiple incidents in the past I have had it break in the middle of oncoming traffic thank God there was no one around there was no accident then. And then it happenee in May of this year and the AES broke my brake system when there was no reason for the AES to come on. July I had gotten into a crash due to the AES again and the Airbag didn't deploy when in a crash.

When placed in reverse the back up camera will show just the blue lines on the screen and immediately the screen will go off so the backup camera doesn’t work and while back up the car it just automatically brake even when nothing is around the vehicle and by doing that it has caused my breaks to start making a noise

A light came on and upon looking it up, it states that my breaks needed to be evaluated. I had the brakes replaced in the summer of 2022, but the light didn't go out. I started having problems with the car stopping and hesitating to stop. I took the car in Feb 2023 to Nissan and they said the Electronic Breaking System was going out. In May, I noticed the Parking break didn't light up nor did it stop the car. I took it back to Nissan and they were talking $1300 to replace it. I feel this should be a recall. You need breaks to stop and that is not something that should be going out. My latest invoice for the fix is $1500 out of my pocket. It has to be fixed as my daughter uses the car and I can't afford an accident, insurance, nor funeral cost. The fix is cheaper.

Crash reported

My son was driving my wife's 2019 Rogue in dry and clear weather when the brake warning system started beeping and braking at about 20 MPH and about 20 feet from the car in front of him, as soon as the beeping started he pressed on the brake pedal as hard as he could. As he did this the brake pedal went completely to the floor and brake system did not stop or slow down at all, allowing him to hit the vehicle in front of him. I have taken it to State Line Nissan in Rhode Island to have it inspected, they said they could find nothing wrong with it. I also contacted Nissan Consumer complaint department and got a negative response from someone telling me how good they are at their job after I explained to them what happened. They kept telling me I was changing my story. They also told me according to the manual that is normal and told me they we're sending it back to my insurance company with a pompus attitude. I have talked to a Nissan teaching technician that teaches the mechanics and was told that is not supposed to happen and anyone who tells me otherwise does not know what they are talking about. Prior to this, about a week before, State Line Nissan had done a brake system flush while changing the oil. I feel that I am not the only one who has had this problem. Does the NHTSA ID# 22V549000 issued July7, 2022 affect this vehicle? I would like to get to the bottom of this, the vehicle is drivable but might not pass inspection next month as I have not had it repaired yet.

I have an intermittent grinding noise coming from the rear brakes. I've had the vehicle to the Nissan dealership (Sid Dillon Nissan, Lincoln, NE) on three different occasions to address the problem. To date, they have been unable to find a problem. On one such visit, the mechanic heard the grinding noise but was unable to find its source.

Last month, January 2023, a light came on indicating there was a malfunction of the brakes. We thought maybe the brakes needed to be replaced. The problem is, we replaced the brakes and rotors in 2021 after an oil change and Nissan stated they were both going bad. This was odd because, when we purchased the car, in June 2019, the car had 34 miles. But at the time we took the car to Nissan, it was due for a State inspection. All NC cars have to be inspected on a yearly basis and that could've failed the inspection. In October 2022, we were hearing a loud squeaking noise and took the car to Nissan. They said we needed new breaks. We waited as the car was going to be sitting for a while. At an oil change in January 2023, the service guy said the brakes needed to be changed. Crazy because the car had 30,000 miles. After changing the brakes the squeaking noise stopped but a "malfunction of the brakes" light came on. Today, February 14, we took it to Nissan who informed us that the Computer Control Unit failure has happened and needed to be replaced. The Nissan Dealership wants $1380.87 AND the part is on backorder. He also stated that we need a new battery because when they ran the test, the battery went dead and had to be recharged. We hadn't been experiencing any issues with the battery, so not sure why that came up. Maybe the computer is reading the battery issue wrong too? We asked if this was a common issue and the service manager stated he had never heard of that happening. I checked for recalls and there are none, but there are many complaints about the brakes with the same issues as ours. Why hasn't there been a recall issued? If this is an issue and this car stops in the middle of the highway, we could be hurt or worse killed. I have a teenager driving this car as it was a graduation gift and now it is a death trap.

My AEB engaged suddenly while I was driving about 40-45 mph without any other vehicles in front of me. Thankfully there was not a vehicle behind me. I called the dealership and there are no known recalls on my vehicle. They also informed me this was not something that they knew of as being a problem. I was told to make sure the sensor was clear but they would be unable to determine if there was a problem unless they could reproduce it. I am able to turn off this system, but it turns on automatically each time the car is started so I would have to disengage it each time I start my car. This is a dangerous situation as I drive to work on a busy highway in a metropolitan area with many vehicles on the morning/evening commute. I am concerned this could happen again while I am going much faster with cars behind me and this would potentially lead to a serious collision. My car is up to date on inspection. There were no warning lights on at the time of the incident.
