Event Description - Car began veering off the road to the left - Driver attempted to correct the unintended maneuver, but the car increased in speed, despite braking - The car then lost all steering and braking capability, - In an attempt to control/stop the car, it instead proceeded uncontrollably performing a doughnut on the roadside embankment, and another doughnut that landed the vehicle back on the road, horizontally against oncoming traffic - The vehicle was then put in park, but the gear indicator, indicated that the car was still in drive - With foot on brake, the gear stick was shifted to the "drive" position, but the car went in reverse instead of forward - The vehicle was then completely turned off, and restarted. At that point, the vehicle proceeded as usual. - Vehicle was then driven to a safe location.
I was driving 70 mi./ an hour and then all of a sudden the car jerked very hard. The car behind me had to hurry up and move from behind me because he saw my car had come coming to a complete stop at 25 to 35 miles an hour. A show that I had a crash and then I tried to accelerate to go pick up the speed and I couldn't go no more than 45 miles was very scary don't want driver car like that haven't had the car a month and I'm having issues with something I'm paying for that shouldn't be happening
I purchased my vehicle in October 2025 for over $20,000, and It just started having issues on December 8, 2025. I have taken it to the dealership and made the head office aware of the issue I am having. The vehicle experiences delayed or absent braking response when brake pedal is applied. Dealership claims no issue found, but the vehicle fails to decelerate as expected, creating an imminent risk of collision. The vehicle has been at the Coggin Nissan dealership in Jacksonville since January 22,2026. I am not receiving any feedback or response on addressing the issue. I am now renting a car for which Nissan headquarters said will reimburse until yesterday but my issue is not resolved and my car is not safe to drive. Thank you for your help on this matter.

I was driving on a four lane road, no car in front in my lane, only a car in the lane to the left and a car behind, when the forward collision warning came up and immediately activated the automatic emergency braking. There were no cars or objects in the road ahead that would have triggered the forward collision warning. Fortunately the car behind did not hit me despite the abrupt and unexpected stop. For context, I have had an ongoing issue with this car detecting shadows when in reverse (mostly in my driveway) and thinking they are objects or people, which triggers the automatic emergency braking. On the day of the incident described above the weather condition was sunny.
On three separate dates this year the AEB system activated without any reason. There was no vehicle in front of the Rogue Sport and thank God there were no vehicles beyond the Rogue to cause any damage, injuries, or deaths. 1st incident - Feb 2021 - winter snow (17,300 miles) 2nd incident - Mar 2021 - diving over railroad tracks (17,800 miles) 3rd incident - Sept 2021 - rainy conditions (27,700 miles) Rogue was taken to the dealership after 2nd and 3rd incidents. The techs checked for codes, performed system checks, and tried to duplicate the problem. Performed RE flash on the laser radar system (RX6FAA reprogram laser/radar control unit) after 2nd incident.
With no prior issues, while accelerating from a full stop, the AEB system engaged on a clear roadway. I was traveling no more than 20 mph. The front collision warning beeped, warning lights on the dashboard flashed, the ABS rumbled and slowed my vehicle. There was absolutely nothing on the roadway to trigger this. It was daylight and the road was dry and clear. There were no vehicles, pedestrians or even animals in my path. Had there been another vehicle behind me, I could have been rear ended. I've made an appt at the dealer and will have this looked into ASAP.
For about a year now when starting my car I sometimes get a message that states No Key detected. I have two keys in the vehicle with new batteries. I does not do it all the time but often. Yesterday the car would not start at all. I pressed the buttons on the key fob several times to lock and unlock the doors and the car finally recognized the key was in the car. Once i started rolling out the garage the brakes locked up and I could not turn the wheel. Thankfully, I was able to stop before entering the street. I feel this is a manufacturers defect because I have had several people with Nissans say they had the same issue and paid over $1000 to get it corrected. My co worker was talked into trading hers in for another vehicle for the exact same issue. I made a claim with Nissan customer service. The case number is [[redacted]}.
The problem that the ABS system suddenly applies the brakes is back depsite the recall a few years ago on the Nissan Rogues. This happens ont he highway and on back streets at whatever speed. Yes the car is availabel for inspection. It happends when alone or in traffic, no rhyme or reason. I have not had the time to take it to the dealer yet to investigate. The light may come on or the car brakes itself slightly causing the car to swerve or pitch. This has happened daily last week and this week. This can cause someone to have an accident and endanger the lives of others. There is no warning, the light either comes on or the brakes are applied all of a sudden.
