NHTSA Complaint #11644092 — 2024 NISSAN ROGUE

Good day! This is a report about a product/manufacturer safety issue! We recently purchased a 2024 Nissan Rogue AWD vehicle. Shortly after the purchase, we were driving here in Tennessee on a divided highway with left and right turn lanes. In this scenario, we were driving around a right hand curve in the road at 55 mph behind another vehicle in cruise control. The sensor was set at the lowest level of distance between the vehicle in front and our vehicle, which is still pretty far back. But as we were going into the right hand curve, there was also a left turn lane that another car was entering. This car in the turn lane was going significantly much slower as it was preparing to turn left, but the problem started at this point of the scenario. As the car in front of me cleared the sensor in the right hand curve curved away from the front of my vehicle, the sensor apparently picked up the car in the turn lane, which became the car directly in front of me, and an immediately sensed obstacle, going at a significantly slower rate speed and cause our car to automatically, rapidly, and startlingly apply the brakes to our vehicle, though we were still at a safe distance behind the car going around the curve in front of us. This not only caused a significant risk to us as we were trying figure out what was going on in a split second while trying to get to the side of the road thinking something was failing in our vehicle and was quickly becoming unsafe, but for the safety of the vehicle behind us who may have been surprised by the immediate and significant braking our vehicle was undertaking by the computer in the car, placing a higher risk for a rear ending when there was no risk in front of our vehicle. Add to that, if there were several vehicles behind us the potential for a domino effect crash.
