Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I was sitting at a light with a car in front of me. The car in front of me started moving so I accelerated slowly and my car started beeping and then the breaks locked up. I was not too close to the car in front of me so I am worried as to why this happened. If there had been a car behind me, they probably would have hit us my car stopped so quickly.”

“Brand new 2018 Rogue with less than 700 miles - the automatic breaking systems engaged for no reason while making a left hand turn. The car behind me had to swerve not to hit me other times the sensor light for the automatic breaking system flashes. On another day a warning code appeared stating the front sensor weren't working due to obstruction.”

“This has nothing to do with airbags I was driving down the road at 38 miles per hour and a 40 mile-an-hour zone going down a small grade nobody in front nobody behind nobody beside me and the brakes locked up. It threw me for word twist in my body the seatbelt hurt my left hip in my left shoulder because it was unexpected there was nothing there. Thanks”

“Two week old Nissan Rogue. The emergency braking system activates in the parking garage where I work. It seems to happen anywhere in the garage (any floor) and when I surpass ~15mph. Spoke with the dealer and they are going to take a look at it, but going by the number of similar complaints on this site I'm beginning to think Nissan needs to issue a fix and recall.”

NHTSA complaint #11110919, filed 2018-07, 315 miles

“The automatic emergency braking system incorrectly activated resulting in the brakes being abruptly applied while crossing an intersection. Luckily, there wasn't a vehicle following me, or else there may have been a collision. The system regularly generates false warnings , but this is the 2nd time the vehicle has applied the brakes in the 6 months I've had the vehicle”
