The backup camera periodically freezes when you put the vehicle in reverse. Other times, the screen will stay black or just show the Nissan logo until you cycle power. The safety of all inside the vehicle and around the vehicle is at risk when the backup camera feed freezes, especially if the operator doesn't realize the feed is frozen. This vehicle is currently operated outside of the US but will be available for inspection upon return. The issue is intermittent so it has not been reproduced in the presence of any service center. There were no warning messages involved.
2018 Nissan Rogue driver assistance complaints

Backup camera shuts off. Occasionally when backing up using the rear camera assistant (built into the infotainment screen) the system will shutoff and display the Bluetooth song which is playing. This is dangerous because, a) that camera is there for our safety, and b) its hard to see if anything has moved directly behind the car in the time it takes for the driver to transition from the backup screen to the mirrors.
I was driving 50mph in a 50mph zone and the Forward Collision Avoidance system activated emergency braking, bringing vehicle to an immediate halt in a lane of traffic. Conditions were wet from earlier rainfall; however, no hazards or vehicles were immediately in front of me. This activation tugged on my seatbelt and chest and collarbone resulting in pain while the vehicle lunged me forward. Due to the immediate breaking of my vehicle, vehicles behind me were forced to quickly break or make a lane change. If the vehicles behind me were not responsive enough, I would’ve been struck by a vehicle going 40-50mph. The problem has not been reproduced or inspected; however, this has happened 3-4 other times with no attention to the matter.
Drive in a residential street less the 30 vehicles light turned on and car brakes came to a complete stop it has happened twice it first did this on 8/24/21 and again on 12/12/21
While driving at a speed of about 15 mile per hour my car's automatic braking system engaged with no other vehicles or obstructions around. My car came to a sudden stop and when I hit the gas it was still kept from moving by the brakes. I did not see any emergency light and when I took it to the dealer they said there was no record of the emergency braking system being engaged.
The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph when the vehicle suddenly seized due to the car safety sensor for the front of the vehicle suddenly activating with no vehicle's in front or on the sides of the vehicle to cause it to activate. The contact had pressed the accelerator pedal immediately after and the vehicle functioned as anticipated. The contact had spoken to the dealer however the vehicle had not been officially diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage is 41,000.

Every time I drive the vehicle, a "Malfunction" warning appears after several beeps. It displays a collision icon, and states "See Owner's Manual". However, this does not appear in the owner's manual. Additionally, every time I drive the vehicle, there are several beeps and both a "warning (!)" and "collision" icon appear before a message stating that there is "front radar obstruction", despite there being no obstruction. The third and final, and most dangerous issue has happened once in the six days I've had the car so far: A warning appeared that there was a driver on my left that was too close to me despite there not being a vehicle on my left. The emergency brake immediately turned on and slowed my car to a near stop. This happened on the highway in a 65 mph zone. This put my safety and the safety of others at immense risk of collision due to unnecessary and unexpected stopping.
The emergency brake system (anti-collision system) randomly kicks in. Most recently it happened on an interstate where the car automatically slammed on its brakes. The part was recalled in 2019. The car was serviced on December 20, 2019 to fix the problem. It has happened multiple times since then. There is never a warning that it is about to happen, all of the incidents are random.
The emergency brake turns on automatically while driving, it pulls the car, so you can't drive. This is very dangerous and can cause an accident. It can be a life and death situation because the car just slows down automatically without you touching anything. Then the forward collision light goes on. When you take the emergency break light off, and turn the car off, the collision light goes off. It has happened to us twice and I have read online that it has happened to others as well. This is very dangerous as it puts everyone's life at risk.
While driving on freeway and highway my vehicle suddenly came to an abrupt stop to the point of ABS system turning on as if there was a car in front without any obstacles or any vehicles on the road. It caused whiplash type of injury with each instance. It happened 5 times within 20 minutes. We visited professional body shop without any problems discovered. Since the vehicle was inspected in body shop it had happened twice again, last time on 9/26/21. Pls look into this issue ASAP as it is extremely dangerous situation!!
The automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection light comes on while going down the road. One of the times that it came on it turned off cruise control and the vehicle started to slow way down and then it was like the brakes were being applied while we were on the Interstate surrounded by traffic. The vehicle then would not accelerate for a period of a couple of minutes requiring me to move over while I was in the process of trying to pass vehicles which then required drivers around me to have to slow down and avoid hitting us. The vehicle would not allow the cruise control to turn on until we finally got into a town and stopped to get something to eat. I did not report the issue to the manufacturer, police or insurance at this time. The warning light came on suddenly when the incident happened but since we had not had the vehicle that long we were not sure what it was so we had to look that up. Since then it has ran fine but the other day again while traveling down the interstate it came on again but this time there was not slowing, braking or anything as a result so don't know why it came on and it did not appear to be working correctly if it was not doing anything but flashing the warning light.
The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the forward collision avoidance automatic emergency braking activated independently while driving at various speeds. The contact stated that the front radar obstructed message was displayed. The vehicle was not taken to a dealership to be inspected. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 23,000.
The automatic brake employed even though there was no vehicles or objects in front. Only lets car speed up to about 60 mph but still applying the emergency brake. Also transmission light is on. Undriveable.
The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the automatic emergency braking system activated without warning. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 58,000. The VIN was invalid.
The AEB system in my vehicle was upgraded due to recall in May 2021. On August 17th the AEB system engaged as I was driving down the road, there were no vehicles or obstructions in front of me to cause such action. I did avoid being hit from behind due to quick thinking and pulling to side of road. When the brakes engaged a malfunction warning flashed on my screen. No warnings were issued prior to incident. I called Nissan service they said they were unaware of a problem but I made appt to bring in to be evaluated, they did not find anything wrong and I was charged a diagnostics fee. After some research I did discover there are many other complaints of the same matter and also that there is an ongoing class action lawsuit against Nissan for this problem. I was also told by the Dealership manager that this is a problem with many Nissan vehicles.
In sum, vehicle was traveling at 35mph with no obstructions or vehicles in the front of my vehicle and forward collision warning activated, bringing vehicle to a complete stop. Breaks squealed and tire rubber burned onto pavement. Seatbelt clenched torso, leaving bruise on collar bone. Another occurrence was similar in speed, with no obstacles or vehicles in front of mine. The forward collision warning began beeping but not displaying any visuals or breaking vehicle.
Automatic emergency braking engaged twice when attempting to pull into garage. There were no obstructions in the way and no reason for the car to engage emergency braking. Additionally, the warning light before the emergency braking engages flashed briefly while driving on an empty road with no traffic or obstructions. The car did not engage the emergency braking, but it was concerning that the message flashed for a moment when there was nothing on the road ahead of me.
While driving wheels locked up once with flash warning, one with sound warning. Happened twice within one week of each other. No obstructions in front of or behind me. Wheels locked up with no injuries. Took to dealer for diagnostic testing ($149.00) with no findings/codes to explain locking of wheels.
Driving vehicle on the highway when without notice the brakes engage. Very scary and dangerous. Have taken it four times to Nissan dealers without issue being resolved. This has been going on for two years. Appears to be with front sensor sensing there is an obstruction in front when there is not. After this occurs, a message will appear that states Front Collision Warning Unavailable. Better it not be available than to slam on the brakes putting us and the other vehicles at risk.
In sum, on 7/22/2020, my vehicle was traveling approximately 55mph southbound Interstate 90/94 at Harrison when the forward collision warning activated, and emergency braking occurred. Vehicle speed was reduced to 25mph for several seconds, then alert disengaged. There were no vehicles or obstacles immediately in front of my vehicle, however there were several vehicles behind me and within the lanes on either side of me. The emergency breaking caused my seatbelt to lock, and distract me with auditory and visual alerts, and cause the vehicles behind me to slam on their breaks. This incident could have resulted in a massive pile-up collision. No warning lamps or messages were present prior to malfunction. All warnings occurred during the few seconds of incident. I thought this problem could be an isolated incident of sensitive warning systems within the vehicle, however this has occurred again. On 7/3/2021, my vehicle was traveling northbound Harlem Avenue just north of College Drive over a bridge, when the forward collision warning was activated, and emergency breaking occurred. Yet again, there were no obstacles or vehicles in front of me for roughly ½ of a mile. Seatbelt locked, auditory and visual alerts distracted me, and the emergency breaking activated, then disengaged with an audible “hissing” noise. No warning lamps or messages were present prior to malfunction. All warnings occurred during the few seconds of incident. On 7/6/2021, my vehicle was traveling westbound Interstate 90 at the Illinois/Indiana border, when the forward collision warning activated, and emergency breaking occurred. I was surrounded by vehicles on the left and right sides and in the rear. My seatbelt locked for myself and my passenger, and auditory and visual alerts activated and created distraction, and vehicles in the rear having to slow rapidly. No warning lamps or messages were present prior to malfunction. All warnings occurred during the few seconds of incident. The vehicle h
My cars automatic brake system engaged twice now. The first time I was driving and the brakes were slammed on and a car had to swerve hard to avoid me. Just now going 70mph on the freeway with my two kids in the car out of no where the brake assist kicked on and my car stopped. Luckily it kicked off right after and no harm done. I feel so unsafe now .
Front end collision at 40mph, no braking/warning, no air bags deployed
On June 10, 2021, I was driving my vehicle preparing to merge on the interstate to go home when all of a sudden the AEB Warning light activates and I cannot not safely drive my vehicle. My vehicle speed would not increase above 3mph. I had the vehicle towed to my home. Today I contacted the dealership requesting that they have my vehicle towed for service and a loaner (as this is my only means of transportation) and was informed that I would be responsible for the tow, that it would be 3 to 4 days before they could run diagnostics and they have no loaner. My reality is if I had merged onto the interstate and this happened, I could either be dead or lying in the Intensive Care Unit.
While driving at speeds between 30-40 miles per hour my 2018 Nissan Rogue suddenly brakes with no warning. I did not touch the brakes and there was no other vehicle in front or behind me. These incidents really scared me. This Sudden braking has happened six different times between November, 2020 and June 2021. I took it to the dealer(Nashville Downtown Nissan) to repair it when it first happened. They said that they fixed the problem free because it was under the 30,000 mile warranty. Four months later the the car suddenly braked at 40 miles per hour twice within a 3 day period May 27,2021 and May 30, 2021. Around June 1, 2020 I took my 2018 Nissan Rogue back to Nashville Downtown Nissan to repair the sudden braking problem again. They wanted to charge me $2,000 because it was no longer under warranty. I said that I did not have $2,000. So they told me to pay $182 for checking it. Now I drive my 2018 Nissan Rogue in fear of someone crashing into me. Nissan should be ashamed for letting this problem persist without offering A recall.
It started braking by itself while I was driving 65 mph on the freeway. Scary Sh**. This happened 7 times before I was able to get safely home. It happened even when slowing to 30mph. And the brake lights do not go on when this happens, my boyfriend was following me. I’m shocked there has not been a recall for this after reading online of other complaints and lawsuits. Huge safety issue. This isn’t a bad water pump issue it’s a peoples lives issue. I called Nissan and opened a case with them (case # 43890104) for the issue and to try to get my $165.00 back that I had to pay my local Nissan dealer. Although Nissan is going to reimburse me the $165.00 I paid, I strongly feel it needs a recall for this issue. People need to be aware that their lives are in danger. Please help. Make Nissan do the right thing and do a recall.
Several times during normal driving on the highway, the braking system activates for no reason. Once pulling into my garage at 5mph. Once leaving my driveway at 0 MPH and twice on the highway going 60+ MPH
My 2018 nissan rogue has had the auto brakes (aeb) kick in and cause my car to come to a complete stop on multiple different occasions when there was no hazard, car or pedestrians in the road. It has happened on at least five separate occasions and the last three times I was barely able to avoid being rear ended. It has happened on side streets, highway and on interstate roads on various speeds from 30 MPH to 75 MPH. This is a very dangerous situation and needs to be remedied without charge to customers. We purchased this vehicle so we would have a safe car to drive our children in and this is impeding on the safety standards of this otherwise great vehicle.
The vehicle stalls when attempting to accelerate after a complete stop at a stop sign and traffic light. This issue has been going on and off from the year 2020 until now, march 22nd, 2021. The acceleration stalls have almost caused about three accidents so far in busy intersections in north jersey. I have brought the SUV into nissan service center three different times and their response was, 'scanned vehicle, no dtc codes found at this time npf no problem found at this time'. I have multiple video documentation showing a high RPM of 3-4 while vehicle's MPH is barely passing 20mph, resulting to the engine check light appearing and the malfunction error message illuminating on the dashboard.
