Yes, we have had issues in the past with trailer hitches and accessories affecting the Rear Automatic Braking system on the 2019 Nissan Rogue. Basically it will detect the hitch and carrier and may cause the brakes to activate while you are backing up. We have not found a work around as of yet. Your best bet would be to contact a Nissan Dealership to see if they know of a way to bypass or deactivate this sensor.
