My son was driving my wife's 2019 Rogue in dry and clear weather when the brake warning system started beeping and braking at about 20 MPH and about 20 feet from the car in front of him, as soon as the beeping started he pressed on the brake pedal as hard as he could. As he did this the brake pedal went completely to the floor and brake system did not stop or slow down at all, allowing him to hit the vehicle in front of him. I have taken it to State Line Nissan in Rhode Island to have it inspected, they said they could find nothing wrong with it. I also contacted Nissan Consumer complaint department and got a negative response from someone telling me how good they are at their job after I explained to them what happened. They kept telling me I was changing my story. …
AES went off when nothing was around multiple times and has caused my car to lock up the steering wheel, breaks, gas and gear shift causing me to not have any control of my car as the car took over. Due to the automatic brake system went off it cost me to have an accident and ruin my car. Nissan said that they fixed this issue but I have had multiple incidents in the past I have had it break in the middle of oncoming traffic thank God there was no one around there was no accident then. And then it happenee in May of this year and the AES broke my brake system when there was no reason for the AES to come on. July I had gotten into a crash due to the AES again and the Airbag didn't deploy when in a crash.

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. …

On October 14 2022 I was driving my vehicle at about 35mph and came suddenly upon a stop sign. I hit the brakes and skidded through the intersection and collided with a pick up truck going about 15 mph. My rogue immediately caught fire from under the hood and the doors wouldn't open. The person I collided with was the only person amongst a dozen people who was brave enough and cared enough about my life to ram his body repeatedly into the rear passenger window and yanked me out of the car. Within 10 seconds of him doing that the vehicle exploded. I almost lost my life from what would be considered a minor collision due to the unexplained fire and explosion
