The contact owned a 2017 Nissan Rogue Sport. The contact stated that while parking the vehicle in a parking space, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle accelerated unintendedly. The brake pedal was depressed with excessive force several times, but the vehicle failed to respond and crashed into the wall of a business.
My emergency breaking system breaks on its own this has been happening since I got the car I went back to the dealership a few months later and they didn’t help me in the slightest I have been turning the breaking system off everyday for years and I shouldn’t have to do that I am paying a loan on a car that is going to kill me… I forgot…
Since 2017 car has had issues with toward collision warning and cvt and inaccurate odometer information. There could be no car anround and randomly warning comes out throughout the whole drive and times randomly un safety brakes. CVT transmission constantly hesitates on highway and main roads and has gotten worst over time.
While on city streets, trying to come to a stop I applied the breaks and nothing happened, I then had to let off the pedal and reapply pressure to bring the car to a stop.
While driving across and particular set of inlaid railroad tracks, the Rogue beeps at me and then slows down or sometimes stops due to the forward emergency brake (feb) feature. This happened multiple times before I figured out what was going on.
