I recently purchased my 2018 nissan rogue in august of 2020 and as of march 2021, I've had 5 instances where the front radar system for the cruise control feature malfunctioned while driving on the highway. The front radar sensor is part of the intelligent forward warning system in nissans and its job is to detect the distance between vehicles. The sensor is tied to the cruise control and emergency braking system. The fault consists of a front radar obstruction warning light malfunction illuminating leading to the disengagement of the cruise control feature (if engaged prior to the malfunction) or the cruise control feature and the emergency braking system becoming disabled. Also, when the fault appears, the brakes are abruptly applied before being released which is a very serious safety issue especially when driving during inclement weather as your relying on the integrity of your braking system. I took the vehicle to my local nissan dealership and they mentioned that there were no current recalls in place for this particular issue and that the system would need to be updated with the latest software update to see if the problem is corrected. I was told that I would have to pay approximately $150 to install the update to the system, which to me should be covered by the company due to implied safety issues. I was surprised to hear that a recall was not in place for this system, considering this has been a known issue since 2014 and yet the nissan company has yet to issue any type of safety recall for the rogue models, hence my safety complaint. I fear that if this problem isn't corrected soon an unsuspecting driver could get hurt!
2018 Nissan Rogue driver assistance complaints
Page 5 of 8: complaints 101 to 130 of 206, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Emergency braking system has activated 5 different times with no obstructions in front of vehicle. All times I was driving on highway doing around 65 MPH when braking activated. It was a freighting experience.
If I have safety shield turned on , the car attempts to break when other cars drive next to me. There will not be any cars in front of me, but the vehicle attempts to break. I have to apply more gas to keep my car from stopping when it shouldn't. I keep reporting this issue to the dealership, but they assure me everything is fine. I have also made it a point to wipe the crash sensors and cameras clean before driving, but I am still having this problem. I am also having a problem when using the cruise control feature. If cruise control is set on, there is a delay of about 2-5 seconds when the car tries to automatically break. For example, if my cruise control is set on, a car will turn in front of me and then moments later my car randomly breaks as if the car is still in front of me. If I am approaching another car, the automatic breaks apply very late if cruise control is set on. I keep bringing these issues to the dealership's attention and have even paid for a full inspection, but they are not doing anything about this. The car keeps breaking unexpectedly and I am concerned for the safety of my family and I. We do not want to be in a situation when the car breaks unexpectedly and causes a fatal crash because of this.
Just bought 2018 nissan rogue. While driving at speed of 35 MPH , suddenly forward collision warning started flashing and automatic brakes went on . There was no other car in front .
Car just stopped automatically when coming slowly into the garage several red light blinked very fast ...I had never experienced this before
Driving east on I-94 near battle creek, mi at highway speed in cruise control with my wife and 3 year old granddaughter the brakes applied hard. Had to stand on the gas and was fighting the brakes brakes that were still applied to get back to 60 to keep from being run over. Pulled over and shut it off. Found icing on the front sensor. Restarted car and fault cleared. Proceeded on highway and it worked for a bit but fault showed up again but without the hard braking. Shut off the auto braking which also shuts off cruise control. It was snowing some on that trip. Our return trip the next day it was sunny and we had no problems. The instrument panel has a fuel mileage history that shows up when you shut the car off. It showed 10 mpg for that short stint when we had the problem, otherwise 26 mpg for all the other stints. The vehicle was taken to cole nissan in kalamazoo, mi where they had it for two weeks. We described how the instrument light would flash on and off sometimes before this, but had never applied the brakes like this. When we went to get the car we were told that there was no code set and they tested the sensors and found nothing wrong. Interestingly, we didn't get any sort of service report or paperwork. Does that mean they aren't reporting it? The service guy told us something about the transmission being in too low of a gear and they didn't find a code that the brakes had applied. Makes no sense. This car should not react to snow on the front of the car by locking the brakes or "downshifting". This is an unsafe condition that should be addressed by nissan.
Brand new 2018 nissan rogue, driving to work at around 6am roughly 30mph. Was jamming out and all of a sudden the car comes to a complete stop without any warning. Laptop bag which was on the front seat slammed into the dash, luckily I was wearing my seatbelt or I would have had nissan steering wheel for breakfast. This issue happened in 2019 and it is still happening in 2021 after many many attempts to have nissan take this vehicle back. Nissan I do not feel safe in this vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 nissan rogue. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The automatic braking system alarm sounded and caused the stall however, the vehicle regained mobility. The contact pulled over to the slow lane and continued to drive at a slower speed. The contact stated that the feature was disabled whenever they drove the vehicle to avoid the failure from recurring. The contact took the vehicle to maus nissan of new port richey (3939 us-19, new port richey, fl 34652, (727) 999-6287) who informed the contact that the cruise control sensor and bracket needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not covered under warranty. The contact was referred back to the dealer for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
Vehicle made full stop while driving locally about 20 miles per hour. There was no obstacle yet the automatic emergency brake was initiated.
While driving the ABS randomly brakes and a malfunction warning comes on while on the highway which can cause an accident nissan will not fix it without charging 1300 dollars when there is a class action low suit on this issue. You can disable the feature but a malfunction warning still comes and beeps loudly.
Several times since I bought the car brand new, my automatic emergency braking system has activated for no apparent reason while driving with myself and children in the vehicle. The car gives a verbal warning that there is an obstruction in the road where there is nothing there, then with no time to react, it automatically brakes. This has happened at least 10-15 times since owning the vehicle. I've had the sensors replaced and done everything I can to try to get help with this vehicle. Nissan advised me that there's nothing else that can be done
I purchased this car brand new. 2 weeks later I was diving on the freeway and the park brake system light went and bam the brakes hit. Scared the crap out of me. I've owned this car for 8 months now. Its happened to me 6 times already. The bad thing is you never can predict it. I've taken it to the local dealer and all they tell me is that they can get it to duplicate. So I went on line to do my own research and found a bunch of other people with the same issue. I am elderly so I was starting to think I was going crazy and also the nissan dealer was making me out to be as well. I purchased a new car so I could be safe. I feel like I'm driving around a loaded unpredictable gun. These incidents happened on the freeway going south i25 of albuquerque. The other happened on bridge and isleta abg 87105. Downtown area albuquerque twice. Fee way i40 going east of albuquerque. I will be installing a camera to make sure it documented for further action. Because it will happen again.
Since purchasing this vehicle used in dec 2019 there has been many occasions of the forward alert for collision activating and there was no other cars near the front of the vehicle, it flashes on the dash so quickly and goes off before we can see what it's saying.there has also been many occasions of the automatic breaking activating and auto breaking while driving at various speeds including on the interstate and leaving the interstate onto off ramps as well as normal city driving. Just recently found this reporting site and as we are afraid of a rear end collision happening if this is not addressed with nissan.
Leased a 2018 nissan rogue in august of 2018 and started having electrical issues with the vehicle. While driving, the navigation screen, center cluster where the speedometer is and all air condition and electronics would power off and restart itself, as if I was cranking the vehicle up. Took the car in for service and the dealership stated they had never seen this issue before and that they didn't know how to fix it. The dealership called me the next day stating the car was ready. On my way home from the dealer, the sensor system that works with the automatic emergency braking failed. I totaled the vehicle and fractured c5, c6, c7 in my neck, and had to wear a cervical collar for 4 months following the accident. I also suffered a concussion. Nissan took over and started they needed to perform an investigation. They found an issue with the sensor system in the car, and the aeb was not functioning. This could have all been avoided. 10 months later they send out a customer service initiative to have the car updated and looked at again. However the car was no longer in my possession.
When driving on the highway the automatic brake system will break in the middle of the highway and malfunction and can cause an accident.
An aeb recall was made on nissan rouges back in 2019, I took my car to the dealer, in which it was supposed to have been fixed, however the light still came on blinking. Today, while driving it gave me a warning and said malfunction with the aeb. I have uploaded two photos, one from today's warning light and the other from where it would come on and just flash while driving, about 10,000 miles after I purchased the car.
The front crash light started flashing out of the blue and then the car slammed on the brakes and brought it to a complete stop and it was a completely clear night with no traffic around me. There was zero reason for it to do that! I was going almost 70 MPH on a country road and there was not an animal or another car anywhere in sight. It happened twice that the light came on and the first time, I pulled over, killed the car, opened my door and reset it and started driving again. It came on again and then slammed the brakes on. Luckily there was no one behind me or I probably would have been in an accident! I took a video just prior to the car slamming on the brakes.
Driving down the interstate vehicle slammed the brakes and then would not move and then was finally able to get to get it to go again by going and then letting go of the gas and then accelerating again. I was able to pull off the road and take the cables off the battery to reset the vehicle. I have since disabled the automatic braking system manualy on the counsel of the vehicle. I took to nissan dealership locally and after waiting all day nissan was not responding to their response as to getting me a loaner or getting the proper parts to fix.
I was sitting at a light with a car in front of me. The car in front of me started moving so I accelerated slowly and my car started beeping and then the breaks locked up. I was not too close to the car in front of me so I am worried as to why this happened. If there had been a car behind me, they probably would have hit us my car stopped so quickly.
Driving 40 MPH down a city street in virginia beach approaching an overpass, no cars were around me and the aeb activated which started slowing my vehicle down aggressively and made a loud grinding noise until I cleared the overpass.
The aeb warning light frequently blinks during regular driving conditions with a clean nose sensor and windshield camera. More frightening is it has slammed on the brakes, twice, on the highway with no vehicles or obstructions in favorable conditions at cruising speed. This is horribly scary on a major highway with two children in the car.
I was driving on a city street, came up to an intersection to make a left hand turn and all of a sudden the car put on the brakes and jolted me and my passenger forward. There was no car in front of me or behind me at this time. I seen the warning come for no reason. I am a little nervous about driving the vehicle at this point.
I would like to report an issue with the vehicles automatic braking assistance system. While driving the car on an avenue, the car just stopped completely with no other traffic in the area. No one in front or behind. The car came to a complete stop and I and my passenger where thrown forward with the seat belts tightening around us. The car has also slowed down on major streets and highways.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 nissan rogue. The contact stated while driving at 70 MPH under a bridge, the vehicle independently came to a complete stop. The contact stated that an alarm sound was heard and the instrumental panel illuminated displaying a message that a crashed had occurred. The contact stated that the brake failure was experienced three times. The contact stated that the braking system failure caused the steering wheel to also become inoperable. The contact stated that there was an abnormal sound while turning the steering wheel and additionally, there was a vibration in the suspension. The vehicle was taken to burleson nissan (300 north burleson boulevard, burleson, texas, 76028, (817) 484-3500) to be diagnosed. The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 41,000.
When I first got the vehicle last year a few days after having it my check engine light came on and I called the dealership and told them the issue, and the had me to bring it in the drive was over an hour . I get there they gave me a loaner. At first they said I could choose from a selection, but the I get there and I couldn't choose I could only get the truck they gave me because of the bankruptcy program. The other day the engine light came on again I took it to auto zone and they put it on the diagnostic machine and printed out a paper as if now I have over 70,000 miles on my dashboard, but the paper said 122,015 miles.
Keep getting warning message while driving - this warning appears when the blind spot warning/lane departure warning or forward collision warning systems are not functioning properly. The breaks while driving will seem to shake. Like I don't have control of them. Water coming in through the hatch/trunk of car. So many problems with this brand new car.
The backup camera is freezing at random when I am backing up causing me to have to stop and put the vehicle in park and turn the vehicle off and back on to reset the backup camera to get it to unfreeze to get it to fully work again. Otherwise it remains frozen even when I put the vehicle in drive and drive to a new and leave the vehicle running and stop and backup the backup camera is still frozen not until I turn the vehicle off does the backup become unfrozen. This is a random happening, and does not happen all the time and I can not predict when it will occur the next time. This is a major safety issue that could cause me to hit a child that could randomly run out behind my vehicle without warning in a parking lot or when backing out of a driveway. This has happened about 25 times now since the recall of the recall was repaired on my 2018 nissan rouge sv before the recall and 1200 mile service was done ion my vehicle had no issues with my until I had all this work done. The issue with my backup happens in parking lots driveways it does not matter when I park it is a random occurrence that happens when I put the vehicle in reverse day or night. It just happens out of the blue. And scares me when it does and I have to be more alert to everything around me in my mirrors to make sure I do not hit anything or anyone. This needs to be fixed and I know if it is happening to my vehicle it has to be happening to others I can not be the only person with this issue.
Happened multiple times till now. Car randomly brakes (automatic emergency brake) I'm the middle of the road while driving. I had a near miss yesterday and other close situations. This happened on city roads 3 times and the highway once.
I was pulling into my garage a few days ago and the emergency brake system engaged. There was absolutely nothing in front of me when this happened. Again today, I was driving down the city road going approximately 25 MPH and the car it happened again. The warning flashed, car beeped and just stopped for no reason at all. Nothing in front and thankfully no cars behind me. This is extremely dangerous and scary! Thank goodness I was not in an accident due to this issue.
Tl* the contact's mother owns a 2018 nissan rogue. On two occasions, while driving at unknown speeds, the vehicle independently decelerated and the forward collision avoidance system activated independently without another vehicle being in close proximity. The vehicle was taken to ganley's mayfield nissan (6060 mayfield rd, mayfield heights, oh 44124, (440) 449-9500) where a software update was performed; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 16,200.
