There are 50 owner-reported brakes complaints for the 2017 Nissan Roguein NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
My vehicle was in for recall R22A6 / 22V-549 for the brake booster power supply since the brakes felt spongy and there was a loud ringing sound so we look around a round out about the recall. After the recall repair, all brake codes cleared except C1111 – ABS Pump Motor Failure. The part is still on the vehicle and available for inspection. They told us it was not safe to drive because we have press hard on the brake for the vehicle to stop because the braking system may not function properly, especially during sudden braking or slippery conditions. Nissan has acknowledged the failure through the dealership’s diagnosis. Prior to the recall repair, multiple brake system warning lights were illuminated. Nissan already has an ABS actuator recall (NHTSA Recall 18V-601) on several models from the same years (Murano, Maxima, Pathfinder).
I was drivin during the day with no one in front of me and all of a sudden the car was beeping, an alert flashed on the dash and my car skidded to a stop. The alert flashed so quickly I wasn’t able to see what it was and I had no control over my car. Fortunately no one was behind me.

I was driving home from work and my car braked really hard without me touching the brake. The dash board light flashed a warning that was red and white and an alarm went off. This is available upon request. My safety was put at risk because this happened as I was accelerating through a green traffic light. There were people behind me who could have slammed into me, endangering me and them. This happened one other time last week but for a short period of time and it barely braked. It has not yet been inspected, but I plan to call my local dealership.
The automatic emergency braking system activated when there was no hazard. it was a full on panic stop with ABS engaging. The event lasted about 2 seconds. There were no other cars near by so there was no incident. This is the first time this has happened and the Rogue was fine for the rest of that drive. the front sensor was free from obstruction when looked at about 10 mins later.

The automatic braking system engaged four times randomly on 4/4 and 4/5/23 while driving on us hwy 70 in Nashville TN. There were no obstructions nearby when this occurred. Two of the incidents occurred while traveling approximately 45 to 50 mph almost resulting in a rear end collision from the driver behind. The other two incidents occurred at slower speeds making the vehicle almost impossible to drive. This was a significant safety concern since it occurred without warning. The Rogue is currently at action nissan in Nashville for diagnosis.
Driving at speed the car brake by itself. There was no cars anywhere near me. It has happened multiple times
On 12/16/22 while going through an overpass on a expressway/thruway, my 2017 Nissan Rogue automatic emergency braking system suddenly, erroneously and dangerously activated. Vehicle sustained body damage in the course of the sudden, with no reason, defective AEB/FEB engagement. Vehicle was limped off of the expressway/thruway and I called 911 and Triple A for transport to the dealer. I have since learned that Nissan has had thousands of complaints about this serious safety defect. Vehicle is currently at the Nissan dealer being inspected. I do not understand why a recall has not been issued as yet for this ongoing serious safety defect. It is also my understanding that Nissan has issued several corrective action "bulletins" on this matter but there is no real fix. The problem persists. I would never have purchased this vehicle if I had been made aware of the serious safety defect. CarFax Report at time of purchase and service documentation at the dealers do not show that the vehicle ever received any corrective action prior to my purchase of the vehicle in November 2020. I will never feel safe again in this vehicle. I and the occupants of my car on 12/16/22 are lucky to be alive. This serious incident could have resulted in all of our deaths on the expressway/thruway.
i was going up a hill and the breaks just automatically activated on their own. there was the beeping then it just happened. nothing in the road ahead of me it was all clear.
The car starts beeping and the Red brake warning comes on. The beeping is continuous and at that point the brakes get stuck and stop working. My safety was compromised in that my car brakes failed while I was in traffic and I almost hit the Fedex truck in front of me. I knew something was wrong because 2 days before I had just replaced brand new brakes in my car This problem first appeared on September 28th. My car was bought brand new and has never had a problem. Car was towed to Nissan, they inspected and said the problem is the Recall issue since the symptoms are the same and they could not do anything about it because recall repair has not been released by Nissan. I took my car home and drove it the next day and exactly the same problem happened again. The brakes failed right in the middle of traffic again. Warning brake sign comes on, warning car with spanner comes on and then car beeps continuously non-stop and the brakes stop working right in the middle of driving.
While driving on 86th street in Indianapolis, Indiana on a trip, my 2017 Nissan Rogue abruptly and suddenly stopped with no warning whatsoever. I was driving at approximately 30 to 35 miles per hour at the time. The engine remained operating once the vehicle stopped. I pressed the gas pedal after the abrupt stop when the vehicle began to move forward.
The car even after reprogramming ICC/ ADAS radar is still having similar problems over again. The car when driving on an open road suddenly stops and stalls with a malfunction sign and a crash signal in the middle of highway. The car then does not starts and the above message prevents the RPM from increasing. It drives at idle speed with no acceleration. The car fixes back itself some times and restarts driving fine and after few miles, again in the middle of road, same incident happened when it stalled again and same malfunction message appeared. There is an open investigation by NHSTA currently about this incident as reported in majority of 2017 Nissan Rogue. It is a huge safety concern with increased risk of injury or death to self, passengers, and others. Nissan is not taking accountability for this.
Pulling away from a traffic light and the car stopped by itself and the red e - brake light on dashboard came on
I was driving 5mph at a drive through Xmas light display. While slowly driving through the display, the vehicle suddenly lunged forward followed by the emergency braking system engaging. Which brought the car to a sudden stop in front of the cars following behind us. I turned the car off then back on. Several lights on the dash remained on after restarting the car. I took it into the Nissan dealership in Rockwall, TX. They told me the ABS control module failed and needed to be replaced. Based on what I was doing at the time of the incident, this sudden failure could have resulted in a potential accident. The dealership also told me this is a know issue on other Nissan's and has been known to cause the vehicles to catch on fire.
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 50 MILES AN HOUR WHEN SUDDENLY MY COLLISION ALARM STARTED "BEEPING" AND THE BRAKES ACTIVATED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN, WHILE MAKING A GRINDING SOUND AND CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE. THERE WERE NO OBJECTS IN FRONT OF ME AND THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO CARS DIRECTLY BEHIND ME, THAT COULD HAVE STRUCK MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE SUDDEN UNEXPECTED STOP.
ENTERING INTO A PARKING STRUCTURE, COMING UP AN INCLINE. I HEAR A BEEP, AND WARING LIGHT COMES ON BUT DISAPPEARS VERY QUICKLY, I'M NOT ABLE TO SEE THE ICON. WHILE COMING UP THE INCLINE AND GETTING READY TO MAKE A RIGHT, THE DASHBOARD BEEPS AGAIN AND THE ICON APPEARS AND DISAPPEARED. THE CAR SUDDENLY JUST BRAKES, COMPLETELY STOPS AND YOU CAN HEAR SKID SOUNDS. THE CAR DOESN'T CUT OFF, BUT TAKES A MINUTE FOR ME TO GET THE CAR BACK IN MOTION.
DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO CARS CLOSE TO ME AND AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED TWICE
WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20MPH, WITH NO VEHICLE OR OBSTRUCTION IN FRONT OF ME, MY ROGUE AUTOMATICALLY BRAKED, FLASHED A WARNING BAR IN THE DASH, AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE PHYSICALLY SHAKING AND MAKING A GRINDING NOISE. THE CAR HAD ENGAGED THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM WITHOUT CAUSE. THIS OCCURRED AT 8:00PM (NIGHT) AND ABOUT 20 FEET BEFORE A RAILROAD CROSSING ON A TWO-LANE STREET IN A RURAL TOWN, BUT THERE WAS NO TRAIN PRESENT. IT TOOK SEVERAL SECONDS TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR AND BEGIN DRIVING AGAIN. THE CAR FOLLOWING ME WAS FAR ENOUGH BEHIND TO AVOID A REAR COLLISION, AND WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE AROUND MY STOPPED VEHICLE. I HAVE REPORTED THE OCCURRENCE TO FRED ANDERSON NISSAN OF ASHEVILLE, WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON SEPT. 29, 2020, AND AM WAITING FOR THEIR RESPONSE ABOUT CORRECTING THE PROBLEM.
