False forward collision warnings by model year
What owners say
When I drive my car in the rain the indicator light for the Front Collision Warning comes on and my car tries to break automatically. It has happened a few times, but yesterday it happened while I was driving on the freeway and it caused me to hydroplane across 3 lanes of traffic. Luckily I wasn't hit, but it could have been a very different situation. This is a safety issue and I want to have it fixed, but Nissan is refusing to pay for this.
The forward collision warning light comes on intermittently. The brakes just lock up for no reason, this has happened at least 3 times.
1. My forward collision warning goes in and out of service several times per month. 2. The CVT quit working at 78,000 miles. I was driving on I-70 between denver, co and the eisenhower tunnel when suddenly the rpms kicked up and the speed dropped. I don't know what gear I was in but I could only drive 40 MPH at 3500 -4500 rpms. There was a burning smell as well. The transmission seemed to reset when vehicle was turned off and then restarted and seemed to function properly. However, when taken for a test drive, the burning smell occurred again when climbing a hill and seemed to dissipate when traveling down hill and transmission is not functioning properly.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 nissan rogue. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled with the collision avoidance warning light illuminated. The vehicle came to a stop. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal and the vehicle resumed normal operation. The vehicle was taken to downey nissan (7321 firestone blvd, downey, ca 90241, (888)523-1103) on several occasions however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The technician then test drove the vehicle and the collison warning light illuminated. The technician replaced the anti-collison sensors. The failure recurred intermittently. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the dealer to replace the bracket. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.
On at least 5 different occasions the forward collision warning on our 2017 nissan rogues (we own two) has gone off for no apparent reason. Some were on a highway around 55mph, some were on residential roads around 25mph. If we ignore it and don't hit the brakes it ends up braking the car automatically.
Three times I have been driving down the road at approximately 35 - 45 MPH with no obstructions or vehicles when the car suddenly beeped the collision warning and automatically applied the brakes and almost completely stopped the vehicle. I was almost rear ended on two occasions by the vehicle that was behind me as there was no reason to stop. I brought into dealership two times and was told they could not find any codes and they cleaned off the camera area (I keep the car relatively clean). They told me to turn off the proximity alert system to help prevent the problem. There is a serious issue with nissan's collision avoidance system that is very dangerous and needs to be investigated and resolved. My wife is afraid to drive the vehicle as she was with me twice when it happened. Please issue a recall or something as nissan is not fixing the issue or investigating the problem. My vehicle had between 3,000 and 9,000 miles when these events occurred.
