2019 Nissan Rogue, this is the first (09/21/21) of 2 (03/16/22) electrical issues with my car which I bought new from a Nissan Dealer. The mileage on 9/21/21 was 9,868. There had been a squealing noise heard when turning off my car and opening the drivers door. Then while driving it 3/16/21 my vehicle doors began to unlock and lock which was confusing and annoying and then a yellow warning light lit on the dashboard when I went over bumps in the road then the cruise control shut off at the same time. Luckily there weren't any cars around my car. My Cairn Terrier dog was riding in the backseat. His collar was attached via leash to the headrest for safety. I had no idea what was going on with my car. I drove to the Nissan Dealer they looked my car over. They claimed the hatch was not shut as the cause. …

As I accelerated the car, the car suddenly slowed down. As I accelerated it would barely move no matter how hard I pushed the accelerator. The was a major safety risk because cars were behind me and if I was on a highway, someone could easily slam into my back. The vehicle was inspected by a mechanic. There was no warning on the dash.

While I was driving in traffic with the propilot assist and intelligent cruise, I was involved in an accident. My car was pacing the car in front just fine and when the car stopped suddenly in front my car did not. By the time I realized the car was not going to stop in time I slammed on my breaks and nothing happened. I was pressing on the brakes so hard that the air bags did not even touch me. I also had issues with my car suddenly stopping for no reason while propilot assist was engaged.
I drove home a brand new 2019 Nissan Rogue sl AWD from the dealer on a Friday night with 9 miles on it. I drove it on the highway to go skiing the following day and then on Monday evening (after 3 days of owning car and 362 miles), the engine malfunction indicator light went on. Called dealer and they said to bring in to look at it and also the Nissan connect email stated to open/close gas cap. After doing so, a couple of start/stops, the light did not come back on. I called dealer and said if it comes on, I will bring in but let's wait and see. On Wednesday (day 5 and 440 miles), I was commuting home from work and while in middle lane of slow moving traffic on a state highway, 6 malfunction indicator lights all went on and the car felt strange. As soon as I could, I got into the right lane and realized I had no acceleration as if the car felt like it was in neutral. …
I have had an ongoing issue with the aes(automatic braking system) indicator light for about a month. It started when I had 300 miles on my car. The sensor would randomly come on. The 1st few times, the car would slightly break when the sensor would come on. After awhile the sensor would just come on(which turns the whole system off when it is on) randomly with no braking. I have taken to dealership 3 different times. They have reprogrammed and replaced the sensor. It happened again. They then wanted me to make sure I put my car in garage for a week to see if it was related to moisture/fog on the windshield before they would replaced the front camera. I humored them and did that. To my dismay, I drove it and it got worse. I was going down a highway and received front radar failure warning and the same indicator came on. …
I was driving at I-80 westbound from council bluffs to omaha. Just after entering in omaha my Nissan Rogue sl suddenly slowed down its speed from 65miles to 40 miles for no obvious reason. I had my pro pilot assist function on at it seems that the car decided for no reason to decrease the speed as there was no vehicle in the front of the car that I could have seen in my lane. I was worried and got panicked as there was a semi truck behind me. I immediately turned off the pro pilot assist function and accelerated to avoid a rear end collision from the semi. My family a 1 year old daughter and wife were in the SUV with me. I think we could have got killed by this malfunction of Nissan Rogue. Please do the needful to have Nissan check it and to make sure if this vehicle is safe to drive.
