2019 rouge breaks for no when no one is around. Dealer says they can't find anything wrong this seems very similar to the issue reported on 2017 and 2018 models
The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving 65 MPH, the forward collision warning light illuminated and the vehicle stopped abruptly. After experiencing the failure, the vehicle resumed normal operation.
While driving with no cars in front of my vehicle, the automatic emergency braking light illuminated and then the car automatically applied the brakes. This has happened several times. This seems to be an issue when it colder out (below 40 degrees).
Anti-collision warning light periodically activates when vehicle is in motion, but no collision is imminent. Occurs at low speed as well as at highway speed. So far, warning signal continues flashing, but brakes have not been activated. Noting occurrence 12/3/2020, but this has happened periodically since october, 2020
Collision lights came on. No cars around. Auto braking when not needed is very dangerous. Check bbb, other Nissan forums. Cars taken to dealer without results. This should be checked and recalled before serious injury or death occurs. This issue seems to be taken lightly when it shouldn't.
