“While our son was trying to align car in drive outside our home garage door, going from r to d, dash lit up with all red warnings and could not put into park. Car started to roll back. My husband went to assist our son who was behind wheel and now believed the car to be in park. When my husband went to get behind wheel and my son was getting out, car started rolling backward getting close to our neighbor's garage door. My husband and son both fell from vehicle beside drivers door. …”
NHTSA complaint #11406842, filed 2021-04, 1,300 miles“I have been dealing with a loud grinding noise at low speeds when braking since 3 months after purchase. We have been to the dealership multiple times over the issue. The dealership can hear the noise but are unable to fix the problem. I fear it’s a safety issue and may cause brake failure as it’s super loud especially on steep hills. Rotors have been resurfaced and brakes replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #11735334, filed 2026-05“I was driving forward and following another vehicle. It slammed on the brakes suddenly causing me to hit the back of the vehicle in front of me. I am supposed to have forward collision detection and automatic braking and neither one ever engaged to avoid the crash.”
NHTSA complaint #11554039, filed 2023-11“While driving down a road at 40mph that has a speed limit of 45 there are a set railroad tracks that you go over. Of course I slow to 20mph but the forward collision warning activated but it was not a warning but an out right complete stop of the vehicle which would have cause rear end collision if someone was behind me. And it was reported to Nissan about the situation and requested to disable this safety feature but was denied.”
NHTSA complaint #11477566, filed 2022-08“On September 1, 2023, I was headed north on I-95 in North Carolina. I was involved in a 3 car pileup where the Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Warning on my 2021 Nissan Rogue failed to activate. My vehicle had ADAS but almost killed my mother and me since they did not work. The car was totaled and the State Trooper wrongfully cited me for failure to reduce speed even though my foot was firmly on the brakes. The airbags were severed during impact and failed to deploy.”
