FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

Twice, while I was driving with no cars in front of me, the emergency brake was released. The first time, cars were behind me abs the second time they were not. I was driving at normal speed down a street both times. This could cause an accident or hurt someone. Approximate date is the second incident. The first incident was a couple of months before.

Aug 20, 2024

Driving through an intersection that was empty. One car was 1,000 feet away in the other lane. The ABS warning and triangle displayed on dashboard. Simultaneously the brakes engaged coming close to a full stop. No car near by. Then the brakes disengaged and we were able to drive with no further issues.

Nov 05, 2023

My car has flashed its automatic brake warning and initialized automatic brakes several times in my 10 months of ownership. This has happened when there has been no obstructions around the car. The car will beep, flash and brake in less than a second and will continue to brake for a second or 2. The car does not completely stop but it is jarring and could be dangerous if there was a car behind me or if there are ice/weather conditions that are on the road. I have not taken the car in for this issue specifically, but I would be open to have it inspected and go from there. I’ve seen that other Rogue Sports have had similar happenings, and I’m worried that mine will completely stall or cause a crash. This incident has happened about 10 times. I’ve listed the latest date below.

Jun 25, 2023

While driving my car at a speed over 30mph the car came to a screeching halt without warning. Thankfully no cars were behind me. I’ve had this car for 42 days. This happened twice.

Apr 12, 2023

Twice in the last month my car beeped (like a car was in another lane and my signal was on) and the last time the automatic breaking kicked in. It sounded like I drove over rumble strips. In both cases there was nothing in the road and no cars around. It is a 5 lane road with plenty of space around and no traffic. If there were cars around it would have caused an accident because it startled me.

Radiator cooling fan failed at 43,819 miles. Cost to repair was $554.95. Web search revealed that many others are experiencing this failure at ~40K miles on the Nissan Rogue Sport models. It seems like it should be a recall/reimbursement issue.

Nov 10, 2025

To Whom It May Concern, I would like to report that my 2019 Nissan Rogue has experienced premature engine cooling fan malfunction at 78,000 miles resulting in overheating and engine failure. This is a costly repair, and the dealership is quoting over $1,200 to repair. After further investigation and discussion with dealership, this appears to be a common defect and clearly a manufacture. When researching this matter, it appears that this is a commonly reported defect on the NHTSA website for this specific make and model. I believe that this warrants further investigation by the NHTSA to protect consumers and in the interest of public safety from Nissans faulty product.

Aug 18, 2025

To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this complaint regarding my 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport, which has developed a significant mechanical issue with the engine cooling fan. My vehicle has fewer than 61,000 miles, yet the cooling fan is failing and requires replacement—an extremely costly repair for a vehicle with relatively low mileage. Through my own research and conversations with other Nissan Rogue and Rogue Sport owners, I have discovered that this is not an isolated incident. Many owners report premature cooling fan failure, often well before 70,000 miles. This suggests a potential manufacturing defect or design flaw that could affect a wide range of vehicles, not just mine. The failure of a cooling fan poses a serious safety risk. If the fan stops working properly, the engine can overheat, leading to sudden breakdowns, potential loss of power while driving, and increased risk of accidents. Additionally, overheating could cause further engine damage, compounding repair costs for consumers. Given the frequency of reported failures and the high cost of repair—often totaling thousands of dollars—I believe this issue warrants an immediate investigation and a potential recall. The root cause should be identified and corrected at the manufacturer level so that consumers are not forced to bear the financial burden for what appears to be a common defect. I respectfully request that the NHTSA investigate this matter and determine whether a recall should be issued for 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport models and potentially other affected model years.

Engine coolant fan malfunction in summer of 2024 with replacement of engine coolant fan. Again with same issue in 2025 with issue of engine coolant fan malfunction and over heating engine/ exhausting coolant fluid. This has been an issue over the last two years for me and is a major safety concern. I was on a major congested highway in summer of 2024 when the engine coolant fan malfunctioned and fumes came from the hood of my car. It could’ve been a disastrous accident. Again I am experiencing issues with the same engine coolant fan.

My 2019 Nissan Rogue sport was having air conditioning trouble for about a week. The air conditioning would only work when the car was moving. My father is a diesel mechanic, although he lives 3 hours away so he had planned to look at my car the up coming weekend. I had gone to grocery store to pick up groceries and on my way home my check engine light came on, my temperature gauge shot up, and my car started hopping forward from engine misfires. I was driving 75 on the interstate when this occurs. If I touched the gas pedal, the car would jump forward and fail to accelerate. I had a semi truck behind me, my two nieces in the back seat, 3 and 5. The semi truck almost hit us because my car went from acting perfectly normal, to not being able to accelerate without engine misfires on the interstate. I only have 92,000 miles on my car. Thankfully I was able to pull off without me and my nieces getting hurt, although I ended up stuck on the interstate w/ two small children in 95 degree hear waiting for my husband to come rescue us. Turns out my radiator fan went out which caused my car to over heat and the engine to misfire. When we tried to restart my car, it wouldn’t turn back on until it cooled down. I am not looking to be reimbursed, I just want to make this issue doesn’t happen to someone else. I have read many many stories of 2017-2019 Nissan rogues that have had the same issue. Thank you.

EMERGENCY BRAKE HAS ACTIVATED TWICE WHILE ON FREEWAY AND MULTIPLE TIMES BACKING UP. THIS COULD OF CAUSED AN ACCIDENT EACH TIME ON THE FREEWAY. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE THREE TIMES FOR THIS REASON. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR MESSAGES INDICATED WHAT WAS HAPPENING.

May 30, 2025

Driving on the highway with nothing in front of me when unexpectedly the emergency braking activated. This has happened twice since buying this vehicle new in 2019

Feb 07, 2024

On three separate dates this year the AEB system activated without any reason. There was no vehicle in front of the Rogue Sport and thank God there were no vehicles beyond the Rogue to cause any damage, injuries, or deaths. 1st incident - Feb 2021 - winter snow (17,300 miles) 2nd incident - Mar 2021 - diving over railroad tracks (17,800 miles) 3rd incident - Sept 2021 – rainy conditions (27,700 miles) Rogue was taken to the dealership after 2nd and 3rd incidents. The techs checked for codes, performed system checks, and tried to duplicate the problem. Performed RE flash on the laser radar system (RX6FAA reprogram laser/radar control unit) after 2nd incident.

Oct 09, 2021

3 occurrences of AEB activating with no danger around, 1x when I was pulling into the driving pressing the brake about a month ago and was almost stopped, it suddenly seized to a halt like I had pressed the emergency brake, which I hadn't. 2x it occurred this morning as I was backing up to park next to the curb, there was nothing around and I was in the green sensor line to the curb and have never experienced it backing up yet, again it seized to a halt like the emergency brake had been applied, awful and scary.

Aug 19, 2021

With no prior issues, while accelerating from a full stop, the AEB system engaged on a clear roadway. I was traveling no more than 20 mph. The front collision warning beeped, warning lights on the dashboard flashed, the ABS rumbled and slowed my vehicle. There was absolutely nothing on the roadway to trigger this. It was daylight and the road was dry and clear. There were no vehicles, pedestrians or even animals in my path. Had there been another vehicle behind me, I could have been rear ended. I've made an appt at the dealer and will have this looked into ASAP.

The cooling fan stops working causing the AC to go out and the car/engine to over heat. Nissan knows this is an issue but has nothing to fix the problem and they can't even get their own proprietary parts to replace the problem part.

Unknown but it seems like the car is skipping gears, will be running fine then slows to a crawl and if I press on the accelerator harder the car will go wide open and has almost wrecked me across the road in a ditch! It don’t run well the rpm’s jump up and down when I am driving it! I have seen multiple complaints in this same issue! There are accidents reported about this issue why hasn’t it been recalled!

Sep 04, 2025

There are times that I would be at a light and go to put my foot on the gas and the rpms would go up but no speed then all of a sudden it goes. I’ve taken to the dealership numerous times and they say they can’t get it to repeat it. I told them to let the car run and it happens. Sometimes it happens even if I drive to NJ. I’ll get off the freeway and get to a light it does the same thing. When I took to another dealership they said nothing is wrong. No codes pop up. But I have used a mechanics code reader and it shows a bunch of codes for the transmission. And I’m not sure if the warranty is still there from where I bought the car from. It hesitates before moving than takes off. Sometimes the engine would rev and not shift or even increase any speed.

Apr 04, 2025

The transmission or something connected/apart of the transmission. When driving the RMP will accelerate or drop acceleration with cruise control on or with foot on gas pedal. It is currently at the dealership being looked at. The check engine light came on when the vehicle accelerated to 4 RMP's. Last year the vehicle would not accelerate over 35 mph the dealership fixed the issue but never really stated what the issue was or why it happened.

Jan 24, 2024

My vechicles experiences rapid onset shaking, vibration and jerking at low levels of acceleration classified as “juddering and shuddering” in Nissan service bulletins. the CVT transmission system has been the subject of numerous vehicle and safety issue complaints and transmission defect class action lawsuits in Nissan model year vehicles dating as far back as 2012. I just want my rogue replaced or repaired but it seems that a repair will not make this issie go away.Despite settling multiple class action lawsuits, Nissan still equips these vehicles with CVT transmissions

Mar 23, 2023

2019 car has less 88,000 was taking in as engine light on. car had difficulty climbing any elevate, would lose power, had to place in neutral, then back into drive to get it to work. taken to dealer and was told multiple failures of the Transmisson and needs to be replaced. we brought the vehicle with 37,000, so we are 2nd owner and we did change the oil every 3000 to 5000 miles (usually at 3000) driven by a 64 year old gentleman, so was not misused. I transmission should not go out at 88,000 miles. I believe it is a CVT. it is now going to cost $6000 to fix which boils down to an additional 250.00 per month for driving this car for 2 years. We also had to replace the battery in the last 6 weeks

My son financed a nissan rogue sport in Aug of 2023. He was in an accident in Nov of 2023. I have not spoken to him since. He spoke with some of my family members, told them the accident was his fault and he doesn't understand what happened. He said he just lost control while driving. I'm thinking it was the key fob, he's a very tall boy and the crash could have been a result of hitting the key fob while driving. I'm hoping there is a way to find that out. The dealership we got the car from Wjk Tempe Dodge. 7975 S Autoplex Loop Tempe AZ 85284-1023. I tried calling them to get some info but got no responses. The vehicle is totaled and sits on the side of my home with a tarp over it. It has not had any type of assessments by insurance company because I am excluded from policy and registration. The police report# is [XXX]. Please help. My son's contact info is [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] He is the primary driver of the vehicle, I am the primary buyer of the vehicle. [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] .

I was driving down a clear road going between 43-45 mph, wasn't raining nor snowing, I didn't get to close to the edge and there wasnt any traffic. My car out of nowhere started to shake as it powered down on me. I saw my little information screen by my pedometer and it was lit up red like if I were to manually apply the emergency brakes. I got it serviced three times since then. Now I see all these recalls with the same exact year, make and model as mine but kbb and nhtsa both say my car isn't recalled.

The part that failed was the cooling fan. According to a litany of Google searches, and from a few dealerships, Nissan has known for years about faulty cooling fans and has done nothing about it. My cooling fan went out last night and sprayed coolant everywhere. Not only did the coolant become gaseous as it burned against the hot engine, this poses a huge safety issue as it can cause a vehicle to stall on the highway and become a safety hazard in the event that other vehicles ram into the stalled vehicle, and vice versa. This problem has been confirmed as an issue by the dealership that I go to and yet Nissan has refused to do anything about it. Prior to the failure, there were no warning lamps or signs, until it actually happened and then the check engine light came on. By then it was too late. This issue can cause problems if someone is driving on the highway and are none the wiser. After doing some research, there were class action lawsuits against a few 2013-2017 models of Nissan vehicles, but not for anything beyond that. Confirmed by the dealer, these issues are well known and could be fixed with a recall. Thankfully, my car was parked at the time of the incident, right before I started on a 45 minute drive back home from where I was at. I live in the Chicagoland area, where traffic tends to be high and had it happened on the highway, it could’ve caused an even bigger issue to those around me.

Oct 03, 2024

The radiator cooling fan and cooling fan assembly failed. I do not have the failed fan available any longer. The cooling fan failed during a heat wave, thankfully I was at a gas station when it failed. Had I not been at a gas station, I would have been stranded in Northern Maine with my [XXX] infant, my elderly mother, and my service dog in excessive heat for hours while waiting for a tow truck. My infant could easily overheat and die in such temperatures. This is a frequent recurring issue in all Nissan Rogue Sports from years 2017 through at least 2022. Forums for Nissan Rogues are filled with complaints of the radiator cooling fan failing (some at 27k miles and often around 67k miles), many complaints occuring in the laat month. Nissan is aware of these issues, many people having the dealership repair the vehicle and others (myself included) complaining to Nissan Corporate itself. The problem has been confirmed by both dealerships and independent service centers. My component was inspected by the service center. I am unsure who else may have inspected others failed fans. There were no warning lights or messages prior to failure. Two days prior to the failure (roughly 48hrs), I had an issue were my AC suddenly stopped working unless the vehicle was in motion, thinking I needed the AC recharged, I made plans to have that done at the next oil change. I now know that this was likely my radiator fan starting to fail. I had no other symptoms of the problem prior to the fan failing completely and nearly overheating my engine.

The contact stated while driving approximately 15 MPH a vibration and clanking noise was present coming from the engine compartment and the engine temperature gauge suddenly increased. After stopping the vehicle and examining underneath the hood, the contact discovered steam coming from the radiator and the cooling fan had malfunctioned. The vehicle was later towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the cooling fan assembly was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,000.

After, turning off the vehicle antifreeze started leaking from the radiator. After restarting the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the thermostat and radiator fan were faulty and needed to be replaced. The thermostat was replaced but the failure persisted due to the faulty fan. The local dealer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 52,000.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM CARMAX ON 12/05/2020. I NEVER WAS ABLE TO TAKE A TEST DRIVE DUE TO THE PANDEMIC. HOWEVER, WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME MY SISTER TOOK OFF HER SEAT BELT WHEN WE WERE IN THE PARKING LOT IN MY APARTMENTS. I NOTICED THE SEATBELT DIDN'T CHIME. SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING DAY AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. THEY HAD ME TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALER AND THEY RAN THE TEST THING ON IT AND SAID THAT, THAT PARTICULAR NISSAN DIDN'T COME WITH THE CHIME. SO I ORDERED A MANUAL FOR THE CAR AND IT SAYS IT DOES. I THINK IT'S A BIG SAFETY HAZARD. 80% OF THE TIME I FORGET TO PUT ON MY SEAT BELT WHEN I FIRST GET IN IT. WHY WOULD THEY NOT ADD THIS TO THE 2019 ROGUE SPORT? I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT THE 2020 AND IT CHIMED.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

1 complaint

The transmission failed on my 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport. I was driving down the road and my car started to jerk and go faster and then slower while I was driving down the road at 55 miles per hour. I could not control the speed or the smoothness of the car operation. I had no warning light or any indication that this was about to happen. The warning light came on much later when I was at home. This is a problem that Nissan is well aware of and has done nothing to inform customers or mitigate the damage (in my case $6,599.40). There are many class-action lawsuits, but the one covering this car has already ended as on January 1, 2029. This problem tends to occur at about 80,000 miles, so I am maintaining that Nissan should reimburse me (my car had about 76,000 miles at the time). By cutting off the class-action lawsuit in 2020, no 2019 cars would have 80,000 miles on them. There is a class action lawsuit for another model that runs from 2014 to 2018, so they can honor requests on this model as well.

STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

1 complaint

My 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport is affected by recall 23V-093, related to the jackknife key potentially collapsing while driving and shutting off the vehicle. The only remedy currently offered is a spacer inserted into the key fob to permanently prevent the blade from folding. This disables the folding feature — a core function of the product — and turns a jackknife key into a permanently extended blade. I consider this an unacceptable fix. It does not restore the key’s intended design or function. No alternate solution (such as a properly redesigned or replacement fob) is offered. My dealer confirmed the “repair” is only the plastic spacer. Nissan Consumer Affairs escalated my case, but the call was dropped during transfer and I could not reach a resolution. I have not experienced a shutdown incident, but I am filing this complaint because the offered recall remedy removes a core feature and does not constitute a true repair. Nissan should be required to provide a fix that both eliminates the safety risk and restores original functionality.

I am first concern with the fact that the CVT transmission is not listed under the “component” section and this concern is a major problem many Nissan drivers are seeing. I would like to additional know how this transmission malfunction is not a safety concern as it tremendously affects the speed and operation of the vehicle regardless of maintenance. I have a 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport that recently started to stall at red lights and even lose speed acceleration while in operation. Upon researching what this issue could be I discovered that most 2015-2022 model Rogue have this issue and it associate with the CVT transmission! My question and maybe great fear is why this doesn’t constitute for an immediate recall for Nissan by the NHTSA?! There are multiple reports on this issue to support our claims yet nothing. I strongly advise someone look into this matter before any loss of life happens.

I have reported to my dealer (the Marlboro Nissan/MA on [XXX] 2024 XXXPM) the dangerous situation that keeps my Rogue (vin: XXX) at a lower gear (the car cannot go more than 20 MPH... in the highway this is very slow) after standing still in a traffic jam for a while on a hot day (specially after a traffic jam is cleared). I'm concerned this can cause an accident and Nissan is doing nothing to resolve this risky car issue. There is no indication in the dashboard and even though we have reported this problem to the dealer twice, they have done nothing. Nissan should be held accountable for not resolving this design/manufacturing issue. Additional INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On December 18, 2023, on the Masspike, inbound, at the morning rush hour, the traffic was in a hard stop for more than 1 hour (moving very slow bumper to bumper), after the Brighton exit, whatever the reason of the traffic jam cleared and all the car speeded up... My Nissan Rogue Sport accelerated a bit but them came to a very low speed (~ 10 mph). I checked whether I was in the right gear (it was: D), checked whether there was any dashboard error sign (there was not!); the car was very slow at a moment when all the cars near me where rushing. I truly though I could get rammed in the rear by cars trying to get to their destination. All cars were honking because I was at a very low speed (and I put on the emergency lights). I took the car for service at the Marlborough Nissan (740 Boston Post Rd E. Marlborough, Massachusetts 01752) today (December 26 2023), but they claimed there was nothing wrong with the car. I can tell you that if Nissan does nothing to solve this problem, other cars of their brand will have a big problem. I don't know what the problem is, but there are several post in Internet claiming this is a big issue: [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] Please address this situation to Nissan, because they are denying any wrongdoing, even though that this is a design issue in their system.

My vehicle's alarm comes on by itself at night and I have to get up and hit the key fob in order to stop the alarm from sounding off.

the radiator fan is bouncing off the radiator. looks to be the baring inside the fan blade is worn down & making it bounce. I called multiple places such as O'reilly Auto parts, Auto zone, & Advanced auto was told they don't even have an item part for the fan. I called three dealerships the manager at these dealerships laughed & told me they are on back order indefinitely. This is a huge issue with this model car. I believe this is a hazard that could cause a huge accident if not brought to light.

The interior of the driver's side door was dented by the seatbelt being shut in the door. This causes the door sensor to alarm that the door is open. No other damage was done, and the vehicle has been in no wrecks that would cause this kind of damage. The metal should be strong enough to avoid denting by a seatbelt.

1 complaint

I took the vehicle to Midas because the smell of eggs was coming from the vehicle, it would jerk upon acceleration, and the oil was empty a week after getting an oil change. Upon researching the vehicle Midas said the vehicle was unsafe to drive and I had to call a dealer because the power train on the car was going. I had the vehicle towed to a Nissan dealer who had my car from Monday to Thursday and claimed they could not find a issue with the car. I was told by Nissan to pick up the vehicle and try to drive it. If anything came up to come back. After being told it was unsafe to drive I called Nissan corporate to escalate and voice my concerns. They suggested sending the car to another Nissan dealer. So again we had it towed. Today this current Nissan dealer is also suggesting maybe the previous shop cleared the computer in the car and to come pick up the car as well and drive it. With no regards to safety or standing by their warranty.

TIRES

1 complaint

We were driving down road going about 55 mph. Our 2019 Nissan Rogue gave us a warning that our tire pressure was low. We immediately pulled over an inspected our tires. The tires appeared fine but the air pressure in the right rear tire was about 5 lbs pressure low. We immediately put the tire manufacturers recommended air pressure. Our vehicle warning light went off and we completed our road trip. On the morning of 6-25 we noticed completed flat rear passenger tire. After further inspection of the tire, we noticed the tire tread had a slight tear from the inside of the tire to the outside of the tire. It was obvious the damage was not caused by road debris or any road hazards or miles on these tires. We have not put more than 12,000 miles on this tire. These tires were about a year old and the tread was within the safety depth. This could have cause an accident in which substantial injury or death could have occurred. Yokohama tires should be ashamed of this lack of quality. It is believed this tire was manufactured in the Yokohama Mississippi tire plant in January- Feburary of 2019. Pictures can be given upon request.

Radiator Fan Assembly within the 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport | Car radiator was at risk of overheating and malfunctioning. Air conditioning would shut down as radiator overheated. This put drivers and passengers at risk. Since the fan does not work, the radiator and engine is at risk of overheating. | This problem has been confirmed by local Midas service center as well as Berman Nissan of Chicago. Both service center and dealer confirmed that they have seen this specific component malfunction specifically in 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport vehicles. The component is on backorder nationwide due to the demand to replace. | Check engine light appeared briefly after radiator overheated. Light then disappeared after car cooled down.

At 19000 miles my 2019 Rogue Sport stopped registering my gas level electronically. At the same time I started having random sudden flashes if bright light from the electronic dash lasting for a couple of seconds. I also started experiencing random issues with the climate control and entertainment controller. Both will at times just start adjusting themselves and randomly turning themselves on and off. Went to local dealership and was told that there were no issues they could find. Was told however that per a Nissan service bulletin that as far as the gas reading I am not following appropriate fueling and I need to burn more fuel before I fill up. Funny that I have had no issues in the year and a half that I have car yet I have not changed my fueling routine. Was told I was on my own when it came to the other issues as they could not make a diagnosis. I also find it funny that they have a service bulletin for what the state is my fault. This bulletin shows me that others are experiencing the same thing. Appears they would rather wait for my warranty to expire so it will be more profitable for them.

I ALMOST HIT A CAR LAST WEEK WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. I STEERED MY CAR TO THE RIGHT NEXT TO A CURB TO AVOID A COLLISION. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A CAR ON COBB PKWY. WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAD MY TWO AUTISTIC DAUGHTERS IN THE CAR EACH TIME THESE EVENTS OCCURRED. WE WERE VERY SCARED EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN NISSAN ROGUES AND PATHFINDERS. I THINK A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED ON THESE CARS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. PRAYERFULLY, NO ONE HAS DIED FROM THESE ISSUES.

I PURCHASED MY 2019 ROGUE SPORT ON LABOR DAY. I HAD IT LESS THAN 2 WEEKS WHEN THE FRONT COLLISION SENSOR STARTED FLASHING RANDOMLY. I HAVE HAD IT IN TWICE AND THEY HAVE NOT FIXED IT NOR ARE THEY CONCERNED. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS IT CAN BE CAUSED BY A DIRTY CAR OR COLD TEMPERATURES. THE LAST TIME THEY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR JUST SHORT OF 3 WEEKS AND DID NOTHING. BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T SEE THE SENSOR THEY ASSUME IT ISN'T A PROBLEM. THE DAY AFTER I GOT IT BACK THE SENSOR WAS BACK ON AND CONTINUE TO TURN ON RANDOMLY. THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME, IT'S NOT COLD OUT, AND MY VEHICLE IS CLEAN. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING. I AM HESITANT TO DRIVE IT FAR AS I WOULD HATE TO HAVE IT ENGAGE THE BRAKE SYSTEM BECAUSE IT THINKS I'M GOING TO WRECK.
