The contact owned a 2020 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving approximately 20 MPH during rush hour traffic, the contact became aware of a chemical odor, and within seconds there was black smoke entering the cabin of the vehicle. The contact immediately pulled over and there were flames coming from under the hood. The contact stated that there was a MIL warning light illuminated after the flames started. The contact was locked and trapped inside the burning vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2020 nissan rogue. The contact stated that while driving approximately 15 - 20 MPH when suddenly the vehicle's brake assist activated causing the vehicle to come to a stop as if the brakes were intentionally stopped but they were not. The contact stated that while making a left turn at a stop sign when the vehicle suddenly stopped causing them to be rear ended. A police report was filed. No air bags deployed. The contact received injuries to their back. Medical attention was needed.
The steering wheel completely detached while I was driving, resulting in a car accident and totaled car. The first responders stated that they “have never seen anything like this before. Steering wheels no not typically detach in this manner.”
While driving in moderate to heavy rain approx. 30-40MPH, aeb (automatic emergency breaking) kicked in multiple times during normal operation and acceleration and abruptly slowed the car despite the absence of obstruction forward or backwards. This could have caused an accident where cars behind had to avoid the abrupt stop. The break pedal was not user engaged during these breaking incidents.
My 2020 nissan rogue I only had about 3 days and I was driving turning out of a church parking lot and it cut off on me. I tried to crank it and it would not crank. The check engine light was also on. Had to have it towed. The second 2020 nissan rogue I got from the same dealership, I have been having issues with the feb/aeb light coming since september. No one, no animals, no fog, no rain, no other cars are near me when this light kept coming on, that I have video of.
