The 2020 Nissan rogue as I was driving, started smoking, then stalled. I immediately got out and popped the hood and there was flames everywhere. Entire engine bay burned. I saved the car from burning completely by dumping water. As I was in a national forest, that is very acceptable to wildfires. Fire department and fire investigator came out. Fire investigator said it was of his opinion that it started on the passenger side, electric cooling fan for the radiator. Which I agree after looking at the aftermath and noticing where to fire was coming from as I was putting it out.

My wife was driving her brand new nissan rogue 2020, she was headed to work and it was snowing. As she was driving down the road the automated emergency braking system literally slammed on the brakes at full force making her slip and go over a curb, my wife did not even touch the brakes all she had time to do was brace for the crash. If this would have happened on the highway I would not have a wife right now this happened on 01/27/2021. The collision system of the vehicle caused this due to what the vehicle itself is saying malfunction in the front and rear collision systems. She was scared to death the collision system is supposed to stop accidents not cause them. I have a claim number with nissan as well for this [xxx}. My vehicles rim is cracked, inner tie rods broke, the collision system will not let me drive the car as when I start moving it the brakes engage immediately its making a horrible shaking noise like its stalling and I can hear the brakes engaging and trying to actively stop the vehicle. I do not want my wife or anyone driving this car. This is super dangerous and I want those sensors either removed or nissan will have to pay for my car so I can get a new one this could kill thousands of people if its not corrected. I have video and photo proof of this.*dt*dt*jb*dt consumer has not taken vehicle for diagnosis yet. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).”
