While driving to work on a congested highway during AM rush hour on 10/18/21, my 2019 Nissan Rogue's AEB engaged the car's brakes while I was driving between 25-30 mph. The nearest car in front of me was approximately 100 feet ahead and there was no reason for it. My foot was lightly on the accelerator and not near my brake when I felt the car lurch and the familiar rumbling of the ABS system. As I reached my foot to where the brake pedal is, I felt that it was already depressed having done so automatically. I immediately tapped the accelerator to release the braking system. The car behind me had gotten rather close and was honking their horn. I have tried to reproduce the problem in the past 24 hours but have been unable to do so as it happened on its own. There were no warnings or symptoms prior to the incident. The vehicle is scheduled to be checked by the manufacturer tomorrow. If this had occurred at a high rate of speed, or in adverse weather conditions, it could have caused a multi-car collision resulting in damage to property, injury, or even death.

last Friday, Oct 15, 2021 driving by the freeway (no cars around), the sunroof just shatter, making a big hole in the glass, this could be a really bad situation if the cover were opened, thank God the hardcover was closed or we could get covered on glass and could cause a really bad accident. My family's safety was at risk of course. On Saturday morning, I called Clay Cooley Nissan (the dealer where I bought it) to let them know what happened, and they didn't care, they told me they can't help me and that I need to go to the insurance and hang up the phone on me, I called again and the guy was so rude and the same thing. We (my husband and I) look to a place where they can replace it and I put a complaint in the BBB about Clay Cooley Nissan and of course they called me on Monday morning but I just waist my time, they told me they will help and I went all the way to them and nothing. The problem has been confirmed by an independent service because the dealer (Clay Cooley Nissan didn't want to help me). There were no warnings at all about it.

Oct 13, 2021Lane DepartureCrash

The BSW worked however the engineering of this particular BSW on this model is such that I feel it did not provide the queues in such a manner as to gain immediate visual/audible attention. The BSW is positioned inside the vehicle to the left and right near the sideview mirrors but obscured enough in one's vision that it does not gain ready attention. The audible portion is not adjustable in volume and when on a busy interstate with navigation guiding you it is very difficult to hear. I was in blind spot collision accident on 10/4/2021 in VA on 395S at 3:30pm EST. I looked, looked again and did not see the vehicle in my blind spot and I genuinely feel that the BSW in this vehicle is not sufficient to alert a driver in those conditions in a manner that garners the drivers immediate attention. Having been placed in rental vehicle that has the BSW warning embedded in the sideview mirror itself I find that to be a much more immediate attention grabber than Nissan's BSW construct in my vehicle such that I have purchased aftermarket BSW mirrors to place on my sideview mirrors to prevent /assist with this issue.

2x in 2021 while driving the automated braking system activated, slowing my car suddenly and unexpectedly. Luckily no cars were behind me or there would have been accidents. Both times I was about 5 feet away from an overhead traffic light. After June 2021 incident I brought the car to the dealer, who replaced the distance sensor. This braking happened in September 2021, have not yet contacted the dealer This also occurred once in 2020 however I thought it was a fluke. This seems to be an ongoing and potentially not fixable issue. I am afraid to drive my Rogue.

The first incident occurred in November 2019 with about 5,400 mile on the vehicle. On a side street College Ave next close to intersection, I experienced a false Automatic Emergency braking and luckily none was right behind me but if they had been I could've definitely been injured. I took the car in for repair and they reported that they fixed the problem using the solution to a 2017?18 recall. It happened a second time in April or May of 2021 on the freeway and I wondered if it was because of the reflective paint on the 15 south San Diego freeway after the onramp at University Ave. Again, luckily no one was following close behind or I could've been injured but I did not take it in again until a week or so later when it happened a third time in the same place. The automatic emergency braking system broke hard and I was very shook up, luckily again I avoided an accident but it was a very dangerous situation. When I took the vehicle in they said the sensor was not working and they assured me they fixed it wouldn't happen again. Last Tuesday, September 14, 2021, close to the same location of the second and third incident, again, with no cars or objects in front of me the emergency braking system slammed on the brakes in this 4th incident. I was again lucky no one hit me but I did fear for my safety and felt I ran the risk of dying if I drive the car again. We called Nissan and they said this would qualify for the Lemon Law. I called and the case number #44716633. I believe Nissan still hasn't figured out their braking problems in existence since 2017.

When starting the car after it sat for 6 days, the brake pedal went to the floor. Attempted to pump the pedal and still no pedal. Warning lights came for Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) System and Rear Automatic Braking (RAB) System. Looked under the hood and found that there was no brake fluid. Filled the container, pumped the brakes and still no pedal. Looked under the hood again and the brake fluid was again empty. No visible fluid on the ground. Nissan Roadside Assistance was called and the vehicle will be towed to the dealership. When the service department was contacted they informed that there has not been any other reports of this kind with regard to the 2019 Nissan Rogue, SV AWD.

ON 7/20/21 @ shopping ctr opened door & seat was to floor & Dash not Displaying 'Brake' 'Start'. Sitting in seat took keys frm my pocket, held up near steering wheel & dash displayed start function. During this entire time I was pumping the brakes up & down to the floor. I started the Rogue & called Fuccillio. Yes I can bring it by. When I proceeded to put in gear 'R', the brakes seemed to hold enough. Backed up and felt brakes were normal. At Fuccillio due to time of day and too many customers ahead of me, aske to return on Wed. 7/21/21 at 10:30am. Left the car, waited for Lyft but none called so called friend for pickup at 11:30am. On Thursday at 4:20pm Joseph(Rep) called, he just had the Rogue react 20-mins ago. What did it do? He replied it 'jerked' him in the seat. Friday I went to Fuccillio to pick up a Loaner via Lyft. At this time still no idea what caused the 'Brakes to go to the Floor'. I was informed my Rear brakes were wearing & while there consider new brakes. I did agree since Rogue now has been on roads 4yrs. I purchased the Rogue as a CPO which was a Rental on 2018 for one year according to Carfax with 33K-miles. Joseph(Rep) then said the $120 he quoted to fix brakes & out the door he will cancel and apply $129 for Brake Fluid Change. I told him Fluid was changed at 38K-miles. He insisted he is just moving the one cost over to the fluid ignoring that fluid already done. I could only assume he was wanting money for the 2-days they had my Rogue & could not get it to fail again. I agreed to brake service & told Rogue would be ready on Saturday 7/24/21. Did not receive call all day so called. They ordered wrong brakes and he had new brakes ordered for Rogues with the Push-Button Emer-Brake Button. Again Rogue ready Mon. 7/26/21. Monday & Tuesday came & went. Wednesday by 4pm drove to Fuccillio. Rogue parked out front. Joseph also did not even have Receipt with my request stating failing brakes. Had to print one up but wording not what I expected.

While driving my 2019 Nissan Rogue on the freeway at 65 miles/hr in a clear and sunny day all of a sudden the front collision sensor came on and the car came to a sudden stop. There were no debris, objects on the road. I took the car to Nissan dealership and the technician recalibrated the sensors. Technician confirmed the issue was part of the "soft" recall and he reassured me the recalibration will prevent this from happening again. A few months later this happened again while driving on the freeway at 65miles/hr in a clear day. Front collision sensor came on and the car came to a sudden stop. Taking the car back to the dealership to have the sensors inspected again. This is very dangerous as I could have gotten into a serious and life threatening accident if there were other vehicles around me going at 65miles/hr.

2 months after buying the brand new car, I was driving with no one around and the car suddenly brakes on it’s own and shuddered. The front crash warning light came on. The car recovered and I took it to dealership. They replaced the censor. The censor continues to come on intermittently and I’ve taken it back three times. They state it could be frost in the lens or a bug. The last time it happened it was a 90 degree day with no one driving around me. The radio also comes on without the car being on and frequently switches modes on itself. It’s been to the dealership a total of 4 or 5 times over the same problem. The censor has been changed 3 times and as of now the car is not producing any codes when the hook it up but the. Ensor light still comes on from time to time

The high Beam Assist feature of vehicle is malfunctioned and yes it's available for inspection upon request. If the vehicle speed is above 40mph the high beam is turning off and setting the low beam by default even if there are no vehicles insight. In the night the vehicle will be always in low beam mode and hence affects the visibility in the night putting in high risk. No, the problem hasn't been confirmed or reproduced by the dealer. No, the vehicle or component hasn't been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. No warning lamps.

I WAS DRIVING IN REGULAR TRAFFIC (35-35) MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY FLASHED EMERGENCY BRAKE WARNINGS AND SLAMMED TO A GRINDING HALT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I THOUGHT I HAD BLOWN A TIRE OR HIT SOMETHING, SO I PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO CHECK AND SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING. NO ONE WAS AROUND ME IN FRONT OR BEHIND. I HAD ENOUGH TIME TO GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE AFTER PULLING OFF INTO THE MEDIAN AND CIRCLE AROUND THE VEHICLE BEFORE ANY CARS PASSED. APPARENTLY, THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT GOING FOR THE 2017 AND 2018 MODEL ROGUE FOR THIS AEB ISSUE. IT IS STILL HAPPENING ON THE 2019 AS WELL. I HAD ANOTHER WARNING ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER BUT IT DID NOT STOP ME THAT TIME. IT JUST THREW UP THE WARNINGS AND BEEPS.

I WAS THE FIRST CAR AT A RED LIGHT, WHEN I STARTED DRIVING, THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED WITH ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME. THANK GOODNESS THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS PAYING ATTENTION AND WAS ABLE TO AVOID HITTING MY NISSAN ROGUE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND MADE A COMPLIANT THROUGH NISSAN. THE DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, AS THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. IN ADDITION TO THE AEB SYSTEM ISSUE, A WEEK LATER, I WAS PULLING OUT OF A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT AND WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, THE CAR LOCKED UP, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE CAR TURNED OFF FOR NO REASON. AGAIN, THE DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN TECHNICIAN STATED THAT IT COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND I NO LONGER FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE SUV I LOVED.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2019 Nissan Rogue Select verdict →
