| Component | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | I recently purchased a 2018 nissan rogue from john sisson nissan in western pennsylvania. The vehicle is equipped with nissan's forward collision monitoring system. While driving on an interstate with no vehicles in front of me, the vehicle automatically applied the brakes. This caused the vehicles behind me to have to quickly react and attempt to go around me. Immediately after the incident, the system went into fault and produced several error codes. The system reset itself after powering off the vehicle. Unfortunately, a similar incident occurred a few hours latter into the trip. I subsequently turned the system off until i could get it to a dealer to be repaired. The dealer had the car for several days and i was informed that the front radar sensor was faulty and was replaced. Hopefully this has resolved the issue. I have done investigating and it appears this type of incident has been reported before and nissan has issued several bulletins. I am question if either nissan or the dealer knew about the issues and sold me the car anyway or even worse, failed to perform maintenace on the vehicle prior to delivery. If this issue is not addressed, it is going to cause a lot of accidents. Someone needs to look into what is going on with these vehicles. *dt*jb |
