2018 NISSAN ROGUE — Complaint #1558068
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES filed April 15, 2019
NHTSA complaint #1558068 (ODI reference 11196466) concerns a 2018 NISSAN ROGUE and was filed on April 15, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 9, 2019. The vehicle had 3,551 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Virginia based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same NISSAN ROGUE cohort independently describe similar service brakes failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2018 NISSAN ROGUE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
IN OCTOBER 2018, I WAS DRIVING MY NISSAN ROGUE WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL (PROPILOT) ACTIVATED. SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY, WITH NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, MY VEHICLE APPLIED THE BRAKES FOR A BRIEF PERIOD - MAYBE ONE SECOND - NOT LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE IT SKID. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER, AND THEY APPLIED SOFTWARE UPDATE NTB18-041A.TO REPROGRAM THE RADAR SENSOR. ON MARCH 9, 2019, THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN - I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 55 MPH ON INTERSTATE 81, WITH NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, AND MY VEHICLE APPLIED THE BRAKES SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE - IF ANOTHER VEHIICLE BEEN CLOSE BEHIND ME, IT COULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED OUR VEHICLE.
