2017 NISSAN ROGUE Forward Collision Avoidance Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DOWNEY NISSAN (7321 FIRESTONE BLVD, DOWNEY, CA 90241, (888)523-1103) ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE TECHNICIAN THEN TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND THE COLLISON WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE ANTI-COLLISON SENSORS. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE BRACKET. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 25,000.

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON BOTH CITY STREETS AND INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKE (AEB) HAS ACTIVATED WHEN THERE WASN'T ANY TRAFFIC OR OBSTACLES PRESENT. AT ONE TIME ON THE HIGHWAY IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO SUDDEN AND ABRUPT UNNEEDED BRAKING SLOWING THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY NEARLY CAUSING CARS BEHIND ME TO RUN INTO ME. THIS VEHICLE BEHAVIOR HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES.

MY DAUGHTER WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT BEHIND A JEEP. THE CARS BEGAN TO DRIVE FORWARD AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. AS THEY WERE SPEEDING UP, THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES AND THE ROGUE DID NOT STOP AND RAN INTO THE JEEP.I LEASED THIS CAR FOR SAFETY FEATURES THAT DID NOT DO WHAT THEY ARE ADVERTISED TO TO DO. FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING DID NOT ACTIVATE, NO AUDIBLE ALERTS, AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MY DAUGHTER HIT A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER AND CAUSED ABOUT $8,000 IN DAMAGE.

MY 2017.5 NISSAN ROGUE HYBRID EMERGENCY BRAKE MALFUNCTION LIGHT HAS COME ON 2X. THERE WAS NO NEED FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKES TO BE ENGAGED. I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO RISK OF HITTING ANOTHER OBJECT. THE LIGHT HAS COME ON SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO NEED FOR THE ISSUE TO OCCUR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP AND REAR ENDED THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT LATER REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED AND TOWED TO A PRIVATE PROPERTY. THE CONTACT CALLED TEAM NISSAN AT (856) 696-2277 (LOCATED AT 1715 S DELSEA DR, VINELAND, NJ 08360) AND WAS REFERRED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ASKED IF THE CONTACT WANTED THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 13,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

RANDOMLY TRIGGERS FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKES WITHOUT PRESENCE OF VEHICLE OR PEDESTRIANS WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION. HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ON CLEAR DAYS, TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND CAR BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY. *DT *TR

THE VEHICLE BRAKED TO A FULL STOP WHILE I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT FORWARD OVER TRAIN TRACKS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN REAR ENDED

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HWY TO MY PLACE PACE OF EMPLOYMENT A WARNING CODE APPEARED STATING THE FRONT SENSOR WASN'T WORKING DUE TO OBSTRUCTION. IT WAS RAINING FAIRLY HEAVY NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME STAYED ON FOR AT LEAST 5 MILES. WHILE TURNING IN TO WORK PARKING LOT IT GOES OFF.

FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING KEEPS ENGAGING WITH NO OBJECT IN FRONT. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THE LATEST TIME WAS THIS EVENING. IT ENGAGED ON THE INTERSTATE AT A SPEED OF 65 MPH DROPPED SPEED TO 45 WITH A SEMI TRUCK DIRECTLY BEHIND ME. OTHER TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING UP OR DOWN HILLS, WHEN ACCELERATING ON THE ON RAMP TO THE FREEWAY.

WHILE DRIVING ACROSS AND PARTICULAR SET OF INLAID RAILROAD TRACKS, THE ROGUE BEEPS AT ME AND THEN SLOWS DOWN OR SOMETIMES STOPS DUE TO THE FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKE (FEB) FEATURE. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE I FIGURED OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. I'VE SINCE RESORTED TO TURNING OFF THE FEATURE WHILE DRIVING TO AVOID HAVING MY CAR STOP SUDDENLY. HOWEVER, THIS PAST WEEKEND AFTER FORGETTING TO TURN THE FEATURE OFF (WHICH YOU HAVE TO DO EVERY TIME YOU START THE CAR), MY FEB DEPLOYED AS WELL AS THE ABS LIGHT, THE SLIP LIGHT, AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN NOTHING WAS IN THE ROAD. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE THE CAR TO SAFETY, THE FEB KEPT ON SLOWING ME DOWN AND THE BRAKES FELT AS IF THEY WERE...

(FEB) FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM FAULTY. I HAVE FILED ANOTHER CLAIM BEFORE THIS BUT THERE HAS BEEN MORE DEVELOPMENT AND ANSWERS TO THE UNKNOWN AS TO WHY IT IS DOING THIS. I SPOKE TO NISSANS ARBITRATION DEPT LAST NIGHT AND THEY HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS SOME TRAFFIC LIGHTS THAT ARE CAUSING AN INTERFERENCE AND CAUSING THIS SYSTEM TO SET OFF AUDIBLE BEEPS FOLLOWED BY A RED LIGHT (ACCORDING TO USER MANUAL IT IS THE FEB EMERGENCY WARNING INDICATOR). IT WILL THEN BRAKE ON ITS OWN...SOMETIMES MORE SIGNIFICANTLY THAN OTHERS. I DO HAVE A PICTURE OF THE LIGHT GOING OFF WHICH I WILL ATTACH TO THIS COMPLAINT. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 6MOS AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES. I FEEL THIS CAR IS A LEMON. I AM STILL FIGHTING WITH NISSAN BUT AS OF LAST NIGHT THEY SAID THAT NISSAN HAS NO INTEREST IN REPLACING...

THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN TOWARD A FOUR LANE INTERSECTION WITH TRAFFIC LIGHT CONTROL. AS THE VEHICLE APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION AND THE RED LIGHT, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND FAILED TO ENGAGE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND NEVER SLOWED THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE OPEN LANES TO THE RIGHT AND THE VEHICLE WAS MOVED OVER TO THIS OPEN LANE AND NEVER SLOWED. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO AND THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. NO CROSS TRAFFIC VEHICLES WERE IMPACTED AND THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE ROAD AND SLOW THE VEHICLE AS IT WENT UP AN INCLINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS REPORTED THAT NO MECHANICAL FAILURES WERE FOUND. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 8000 MILES ON IT,

THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE FRONT BRAKING SYSTEM. THERE IS EVEN A DOCUMENT SEND TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS NOTIFYING THEM THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE, BUT THERE IS NO FIX AS OF YET THE ENGINEERS CANNOT EVEN FIND A CAUSE FOR THE ISSUE. I ASKED FOR A COPY OF THE LETTER, BUT, OF COURSE, IT IS A "CONFIDENTIAL" DOCUMENT AND ONLY PRIVILEGED PARTIES ARE ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO IT. WHAT HAPPENS IS THERE WILL BE AN AUDIBLE BEEPING (TWO-THREE TIMES) AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOUR CAR WILL SLAM ON THE BRAKES ON IT OWN, WHICH IN TURN KICKS ON THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. THERE WILL BE NOTHING ON THE SENSOR OR NOTHING IN YOUR PATH IN FRONT OF YOU. IT DOES THIS SPONTANEOUSLY. THIS WAS WHILE I WAS DRIVING!!!! THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES ALREADY. WHEN HOOKED UP TO A DIAGNOSTIC TESTER, IT THROWS A CODE...

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP, NISSAN OF VACAVILLE, ON 9-16-2017. ON 10-26-2017 WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THE VEHICLE'S FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM (FEB) SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY ACTIVATED, BRING THE CAR TO A FULL AND COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE BRAKING SYSTEM DISENGAGED WITHIN A FEW SECONDS AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE WERE NO ADVERSE CONDITIONS, OBSTRUCTIONS, OR VEHICLES WITHIN A DANGEROUS DISTANCE TO HAVE CAUSED THE ACTIVATION. THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS DISPLAYED THE ALERT MESSAGE "WARNING" "MALFUNCTION." THE VEHICLE WAS SUBSEQUENTLY TOWED TO AUTOCOM NISSAN OF CONCORD FOR SERVICE AND DIAGNOSIS. I WAS TOLD CODES U1002, C1B5D, AND C1A16-97 WERE STORED IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. C1A16-97 RELATES TO AN OBSTRUCTION OR BLOCKED RADAR SENSOR, BUT THAT ALL THE STORED CODES WERE IN THE PAST. C1A16-97 WAS STORED AT 1983 MILES - I EXPERIENCED...

THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONED, I WAS DRIVING IN A GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT WITH A PERSONAL FRIEND AND SUDDENLY THE CAR'S EMERGENCY BRAKE PROTECTION ACTIVATED JOLTING THE CAR TO A STOP. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE WAS IN A PARKING DECK (DIFFERENT FROM THE FIRST LOCATION) AND THE CAR AGAIN ACTIVATED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PROTECTION SYSTEM JOLTING THE CAR TO A STOP. I THEN FELT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND BROUGHT THIS INTO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECKED THE CAR AND CALLED REPORTING THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND I SHOULD PICK IT UP. I PICKED THE CAR UP AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT UNTIL I SWITCHED CARS WITH A PERSONAL FRIEND WHO USED THE CAR TO DRIVE ONE MILE BACK TO HOME DOWN A 4 LANE ROAD. UPON COMING TO AN INTERSECTION, SHE REPORTS SHE BEGAN SLOWING DOWN AND GOT IN A TURN LANE...

ABS BRAKING SYSTEM GOES ON WHEN DRIVING CAR FOR NO APPARENT REASON. NO OTHER CARS OR OBSTACLES AROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED 7 TIMES. SPEED USUALLY BETWEEN 30 /35 MPH. ALERT SIGNAL BEEPS FIRST . BRAKES RELEASE AFTER APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 4 SECONDS

FRONT EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED TO BRAKE THE CAR WHEN THERE WAS ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE CAR AND RESULTED IN A CRASH. MY CAR HIT ANOTHER CAR.

ON OCTOBER 11, 2017, THE VEHICLE'S 'INTELLIGENT SAFETY SHIELD' FEATURE CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO UNEXPECTEDLY BRAKE WHILE MOVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE 10 FREEWAY. THIS MALFUNCTION NEARLY CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURIES. WE IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY DID HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR INSPECTION. THEY HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 WEEK AND ARE NOW CONTACTING US REQUESTING THAT WE PICK UP THE VEHICLE, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE NOT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE OR EVEN KNOW 'EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS' IN THEIR OWN WORDS.

YESTERDAY, WHILST DRIVING AT 30 MPH THE FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATED. NO CARS, PEDESTRIANS OR OBJECTS WERE IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. ROAD WAS LEVEL AND CAR TRAVELING STRAIGHT. DISPLAY IN CENTRE OF DASH INDICATED " MALFUNCTION" CAR PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD, SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED. NO OTHER SIGNS OF PROBLEMS. NO OBJECTS OF ANY SORT WERE IN FRONT OF VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ON A ROAD THAT GOES UNDER A BRIDGE ON I-275. THE FRONT CAMERA SYSTEM MISTOOK THE BRIDGE FOR AN OBJECT ON THE ROAD AND ACTIVATED THE BRAKES. THE CAR BRAKED ON ITS OWN. THE CAR DID THIS ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON BOTH OCCASIONS. ON THE 2ND OCCASION NISSAN ENGINEERING DECLARED THE SYSTEM WORKED AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS WITHIN ITS LANE OF TRAVEL WHEN APPROACHING THE BRIDGE.

WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH SNOW AND ICE THE FRONT GRILL OF THE VEHICLE BECAME COVERED WITH A COATING OF ICE. THIS BLOCKED THE FRONT RADAR DEVICE FROM WORKING. THEREFORE SHUTTING DOWN THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM AND THE AUTOMATIC COLLISION DETECTION SYSTEM WHICH BRAKES THE VEHICLE WHEN GETTING TO CLOSE TO A VEHICLE IN FRONT. THIS CONDITION PERSISTED EVEN AFTER PASSING THROUGH THE STORM BECAUSE THE TEMPERATURE WAS AT FREEZING OR BELOW. THIS OCCURRED WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY. THE ICE ON THE GRILL ONLY MELTED AFTER STOPPING, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL AND AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM RETURN TO NORMAL. WOULD THIS ICE BUILD-UP ON THE FRONT GRILL ALSO CAUSE A PROBLEM WITH THE RADIATOR AND THE COOLING SYSTEM?
