There appears to be a problem with the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), while driving on 2 occasions, my Nossan 2018 roque automatically slowed down by itself and flashed a warning on the dash board and made an audible beeping sound. The tires also had friction against the road, showing the breaks activated on their own although there was no risk of an accident or obstacle in the way so t should not have activated. Thos seems dangerous because it slows the car down randomly and might actually cause an accident. It happened 22Dec2025 and about 6 driving sessions before that so it's a recurring issue.

For about a year now when starting my car I sometimes get a message that states No Key detected. I have two keys in the vehicle with new batteries. I does not do it all the time but often. Yesterday the car would not start at all. I pressed the buttons on the key fob several times to lock and unlock the doors and the car finally recognized the key was in the car. Once i started rolling out the garage the brakes locked up and I could not turn the wheel. Thankfully, I was able to stop before entering the street. I feel this is a manufacturers defect because I have had several people with Nissans say they had the same issue and paid over $1000 to get it corrected. My co worker was talked into trading hers in for another vehicle for the exact same issue. I made a claim with Nissan customer service. The case number is [XXX}.

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.

On several separate occasions my brakes locked up while driving my 2018 Nissan Rouge Sport, including yesterday January 2, 2022, luckily I was trying to leave a gas station and not on the interstate like the prior incident. I didn't understand what was happening this morning January 3rd, when I started researching the strange orange indicator light that keeps displaying and why my brakes keeps locking and I can't do anything until they release themselves. I found several complaints of people having the same issue as I. This was a scary situation, I was 91 miles from home when this brake incident occurred again. I looked up recalls and there is no recall for the braking malfunction for my vehicle, I can't keep playing Russian Roulette with this vehicle and my life, I drive my 5 year old grandson in this car. Now that I know the issue I'm scared of driving for fear of having an accident and worst case scenario me or my grandson being killed if the brakes locked on the highway and someone slams into the rear of the vehicle. This is definitely a safely hazzard that needs to be resolved. I can't believe I had to research to find that this was an ongoing problem that's being kept quiet. Who has to die before major issues such as this are corrected, we are consumers who put their trust in the hands of automakers and manufacturers to ensure we are purchasing safe vehicles. Like myself and so many others, our intent is to purchase good quality vehicles, which includes safety as the number one feature. My vehicle is definitely not safe and I don't want to keep putting myself or my grandson in harm's way due to no fault of our own.

When approaching an intersection, the brake pedal was unable to be used, locked up. With no brakes, the result was a collision. The front collision detection that constantly warned falsely on the dash. This failed to work prior to the collision at this time. Automatic brakes did not engage either resulting in a serious crash. Nissan dealership is inspecting the brake booster, and brake system.

There were clicking noises while applying the brake at the previous stop before the collision. About 100 yards before a red light I was pushing on the brake pedal but it would only go half way down. There was no response on the brakes. Ended in collision with another vehicle

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.
