| Description of the problem | I have experienced two instances of phantom braking, similar to reports i've read about nissan rogues. Once in july, and once last week. In both cases i was driving at low highway speed on a sunny afternoon. The car's "object dectected" warning flashed and beeped, and the car braked automatically, for no reason. I suspect bright sunlight and/or a shadow on the highway was to blame |
