In owners' own words
The automatic emergency braking system constantly activates while driving. I am worried I will get in a wreck. I have had Nissan look at it and have had the update done and I still have the same issue. I have spoken with the region representative and Nissan will not do anything about it and I am told I can take it to the dealership to have it looked at. It has happened hundreds of times since I have purchased it. Service brakes · reported at 33,000 miles
While driving 55mph brake system activated without reason, clear dry paved road without traffic or obstructions. Hard braking by system for maybe 30 mph drop in speed then returned to normal. Driver and passenger were shook up. Felt like going over rumble strips where their were none. Had their been close following traffic we would have been hit. Took car to dealer who checked it over and did some kind of update. Service brakes · reported at 22,000 miles
The breaking system on my 2018 Nissan Rogue driving 50mph slammed on the breaks and caused my car to stop without warning, a red light came on and I was whipped forward. There was no traffic in front of me and 2 cars behind that would have hit me as I was able to get off side of road. This would have been a fatal accident. We have contacted our Nissan dealer who said they have never heard of this, Service brakes · reported at 23,500 miles
