The problem stems from the automatic emergency braking system, which is capable of stopping the vehicle if the driver doesn't react to a perceived threat in time. NHTSA has received 87 complaints about the Rogue's AEB system -- specifically, these complaints allege that the AEB kicked on when there was nothing in front of the vehicle. Of course, this represents a big safety concern, as a vehicle slamming to a halt for no reason can cause accidents on the road.

According to NHTSA's documents, it appears Nissan might be trying to address the issue on the back end, as Nissan apparently issued a technical service bulletin and other measures related to the AEB system. A technical service bulletin, or TSB for short, is a set of procedures recommended for repairing a specific vehicle defect that usually doesn't rise to the level of requiring a recall.
