What owners say about the forward collision avoidance
Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“The backup camera picture/screen has randomly cut out while backing up putting myself and whatever is behind me at risk for collision. In the section where it asks for the date, it's happens randomly since I bought it. Whenever I've taken it to my mechanic they have not been able to reproduce it. The emergency braking system has activated with nothing around. It's in the dealers now. It was listed as a recall on a RI safety but not associated with my vin so the nissan dealer is saying that it's not covered under recall because it shows only the brake recall. the software update is costing me 169. He says that it should fix both problems.”
“It has happened where I am driving on the highway with big vehicle's are next to me and it will brake and take me from 65 miles per hour down to 30 mph quickly . I always hope that no one is in back of me I fear that i will get in a accident for no reason . Please put a recall on this system !”
“On Friday, 24 Jan 25, at highway speeds between 60 and 70 mph the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system unexpectedly engaged three times. On Sunday, 26 Jan 25, while in a neighborhood street the AEB engaged unexpectedly at 25 mph. That same day at highway speeds between 60 and 70 mph the AEB system unexpectedly engaged four times. Additionally, on that day the AEB warning light flashed and a chime was heard, but the system did not brake two times. This car was at a Nissan dealer on 2 Dec 2019 for recall 1-P9327 - Rogue AEB NTB19-064 and recall 2 - R1911 - NIS AV CONT UNIT MULTI TSB”
“At 3 separate times while driving my car just suddenly brakes and one of the times was doing between 40 and 50 with no other car around and suddenly with no warning car starts beeping and comes to an abrupt halt jacking the seatbelt tight and coming to a complete stop then proceeding along as if nothing happened.”
“Since I purchased my car in September of 2022, a 2018 Nissan Rogue SL AWD, whenever I drive down to Houston, TX, my AEB symbol (2 cars crashing symbol) flashes. This is consistent with me going to Houston about once a month, and I've driven elsewhere fine. I've driven throughout North TX, and to Louisiana, but every time without fail, my car gets the AEB sensor light. It flashes, and sometimes will go off for a day or two if I'm down there, but comes back on no matter what.”
“This is about the 4th incident where when I am driving my car and all of a sudden a message flashes on the dashboard and the car brakes hard, while my foot is still on the gas. There are no other vehicles in front of me or icy roads. I am in the process of bringing to the dealer I purchased it from to run a diagnostics, but from what I have read this issue has been happening a lot with the 2018 models. I do not want to wait until I have an accident for this issue to be acknowledged or repaired.”
