2020 Nissan ROGUE - Ratings, Complaints and Recalls

"cars automatic emergency braking activated for no apparent reason"

"when driving the front end collision light comes on and stops the vehicle in the middle of the road and there is nothing in front of the car. this is very dangerous if there's a car behind you and my car suddenly comes to a stop. i spoke to my dealer and they said this was common since that sensor is sensitive. they're sollution was for me to turn it off. so now i would not have front end collision warning or safety."

"crash detector light flashes on and off."

"the front censors activated during snow storm triggering the brakes to lock and steering wheel to lock. the car slid 50 yards across 3way stop sign intersection into a house front lawn. the same censors keep coming on all the time thinking that something is in front of car but nothing is there. i have recorded the censors lights on a few times. nissan an nissan dealer have told but no one seems to try to fix it. i'm filing a complain with ny state attorney general office. i can't take it anymore."

"in october of 2022, while i was driving my 2020 rogue on a country road to a school event for my granddaughter, the car made a soft bell sound then it immediately slammed on the brakes for no reason that i can understand. i immediately pulled the car off the road. it showed a triangle with an exclamation point within it in the dash display. i shut the car off and when i restarted it the triangle was gone and it drove ok. i later read online that this could be an aeb issue. it was a clear day with no rain and no cars close in front and, luckily, behind me. it scared the hell out of my wife and i. i no longer feel safe in the car if it can do this for no reason! i brought the car into a nissan dealer to have it checked on 9/20/22. they did not find any problems with it. they also did not see any fault codes that something happened within the vehicle's memory. i find it unbelievable that the car did not record the fault. to me this means that nissan has deliberately disabled this function for this fault. i have done a lot of research and apparently this is a well known issue with nissan vehicles, not just the rogues. i have also read that there are 2 class action suits against nissan for this. i brought the vehicle in again in jan 2023 to get the car checked again for the false activation of aeb, feb, or fcw. this time i asked to have it checked per ntb18-041d and reprogrammed to the latest software and/or any required hardware to fix this well known issue. they said this ntb was not for my rogue and did not fix it. i have read that this is normal for this defect shown in the ntb. i am still afraid to drive this car and have only driven it about 400 miles since it was looked at. and now i only drive it with the aeb disabled as i was instructed by a tech in the service dept. i would really like to be able to use the aeb safety feature without fear of it falsely locking up the brakes while i'm driving. this rogue only has 6835 miles on it."

"was driving on a county highway in mercer county, nj that i’ve driven many times before around 40-45 mph in perfect sunny weather, mid-morning, when suddenly the car slammed on the brakes on its own. it was a terrifying experience as it happened so fast and i had no control over the vehicle. the blessing is that no one was behind or next to me, but what’s unnerving is there was no one or no objects in front of me. it actually took me a few minutes to make sense of what happened. there was seemingly no logical reason the automatic emergency break system should have activated. i drove it slowly to the dealer and left it as it was a weekend. next day they checked the car/sensors and could not find an issues and said the software was up to date. they opened a ticket with nissan who advised to replaced and configure the sensor. i pray it doesn’t happen again but they can’t guarantee it won’t as they said they’ve had other complaints (which they report to nissan). if someone had been behind me, i was driving faster, or bad weather was present it could have ended very badly. i’m terrified it could happen again that i plan to keep that feature turned off when driving on high speed or busy roads. the annoying part is you have to manually turn it off each time you start the car. i’ve only had it back for a day so not sure what will happen. while the dealer did all they could to help me and make sure my car was safe, i think these features/sensors need to be investigated, let’s not wait until someone dies or is seriously injured."

"i was stopped at a stop light, when it turned green i hit the gas and within a few seconds, an alarm came on and the car hit the brakes and stopped the car. there was no reason for this to happen. no one in front of me hit their brakes. if there was someone close behind me, i could've easily been rear ended."

"purchased my care in september of 2020. shortly, after having my car i noticed this orange light flash in dash. i was able to capture a picture. then, i sent it to my car salesman. he stated that he did not know what it was. so, it has done this several times since then. i researched this light and found out that it is the braking system. even when there is nothing in the presence of the car it will appear. this is a scary thing. consumer stated car would stop with nothing in front of it or the speed had not accelerated over 20 miles."
