There were no pedestrians or other vehicles in front of me. Luckily, the car behind me was able to stop without hitting me.”
NHTSA complaint #11414868, filed 2021-05, 9,500 miles“I have a 2020 Nissan Murano that had 3 occurrences in a 48 hour period where the automatic emergency braking system caused my car to stop immediately with no warning or obstruction in the road. The 1st incident occurred when I was traveling approximately 30 miles per hour on a city street. My car went from 30 to 0 with no warning. The motor didn't stall out, the car was still idling but the car just stopped on the road. I was not braking at the time. I'm thankful no vehicle was traveling behind me at the time. The next 2 occurrences happened while backing out of my drive way. …”
NHTSA complaint #11406535, filed 2021-04, 8,200 miles“I've only had the car 3 months and an error code for the forward collision worning light is on. The dealership said it should go off. It never did. It is malfunctioning and it automatically and without notice applied the emergency brake system when it's not needed. It gave me sort of whiplash. It does this often out of no where. This could cause a severe accident.”
NHTSA complaint #11531068, filed 2023-07“We've had the vehicle over a year and have never been able to get used to the forward and backward collision avoidance emergency braking, as it seems to activate for no reason at all. Multiple times this has happened to my wife, the primary driver. She's too anxious to drive it on days with inclement weather when it's the worst. We have the car being evaluated by the dealer, if they can't repair or disable, sensors and auto braking then I'm going to get them to buy it back from me.”
