Newton's method is a powerful approach to solving nonlinear equations but it fails (also its approximate, the secant) when the derivative of the function equals zero, approaches zero (diverges or converges very slowly), or due to oscillation between two or more estimates. The attached method provided with six examples programmed in MATLAB shows some methods to avoid such situations.
