False forward collision warnings by model year
What owners say
The contact owns a 2020 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle had experienced "Phantom Braking" causing the braking system to erroneously activate and the vehicle to abruptly stop. During the failure the Forward Collision Avoidance system malfunction message was displayed. Additionally, while driving at night, the high beam headlights failed to automatically activate as designed. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 133,321.
When driving the forward collision warning will flash and beep and immediately brake and causes the car to come to a complete stop, when there is nothing in front of the car. It could cause an accident. I believe the forward collision warning sensor has failed. This has happened several times and it’s not safe for me or others around. I’ve started turning off the forward collision to avoid being in a accident.
When driving the front end collision light comes on and stops the vehicle in the middle of the road and there is nothing in front of the car. This is very dangerous if there's a car behind you and my car suddenly comes to a stop. I spoke to my dealer and they said this was common since that sensor is sensitive. They're sollution was for me to turn it off. So now I would not have front end collision warning or safety.
The forward collision warning light keeps blinking on and off and according to fred anderson nissian of asheville they said after the 3rd time in the shop that the light blinking is normal. I have the service record where they said that.
While driving on 10/12/2020 and again on 10/17/2020, the vehicle unexpectedly braked to a complete stop without warning. The front end collision warning lit up on the dashboard indicating that the front end collision sensor was activated. There were no vehicles or objects in front of the vehicle during either incident on the straight highway. Since the vehicle was on the highway (55 MPH), it caused the drivers body to be pushed forward onto the seatbelt. The driver experienced significant discomfort after each event. Luckily there were no vehicles behind me as the rogue came to a complete stop. After the vehicle stopped, the front collision light went out and the vehicle was able to be driven as normal.

The front collision warning sign flashes while driving. This only occurs on cold mornings. I have taken my vehicle to the dealership's service center and the technician told me that the flashing is caused by condensation. This is an issue that needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
