2018 Nissan LEAF Forward Collision Avoidance Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1476638
Internal NHTSA #	11103747
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.

Model Year	2018
File date	15/05/18
Component	FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	While driving forward, the vehicle suddenly, unexpectedly and violently applies the brakes without any driver input whatsoever! There are no other vehicles or pedestrians in the vicinity at the time. This sudden braking problem began on or about 5/15/18 and happened on several occasions after that. Twice while entering the underground parking garage at an office building and twice while driving on a city street. Vehicle has been at the local nissan dealer for over a week but neither the dealership nor the manufacturer apparently has any idea how to fix the problem. They think that there is a fault in the automatic emergency braking system. The service manager told me that other instances of the same issue have been reported to nissan. The salesperson indicated that there were 4 other similar cases at their dealership alone. They also will not let us take the vehicle home without signing a release of liability document. The obvious concern is that the emergency braking system will again randomly activate while traveling at a higher speed and cause an accident resulting in serious property damage and injuries!
