Summary

The Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and Radar System is faulty which makes the vehicle suddenly brakes on it's own. My daughter reported that the alert light began coming on about a week ago. Then the yesterday (9/26/2021) the vehicle suddenly braked on its own while she was driving. She added that there was no vehicle or object in front of the vehicle at the time of the self-braking. This is a serious safety concern. After research into this matter, I have learned that both Nissan and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are aware of the situation but have yet to issue a recall for the faulty AEB in a number of their models.

Summary

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND THE FRONT COLLISION SENSOR KEPT GOING OFF. WE PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AT OUR DESTINATION AND PARKED. CLEARED FRONT CAMERAS SHUT ENGINE OFF, AND ALL WARNING MALFUNCTION INDICATORS KEPT LIGHTING UP. 1ST NO KEY DETECTED, THEN BRAKE WARNING, THEN HEAD LIGHT MALFUNCTION, THEN BRAKE, SEAT BELT, AND CHECK ENGINE WARNINGS ALL FLASHED AT SAME TIME. THEN AFTER SOMETIME PASSED BRAKES LOCKED UP, AND POWER TO ENTIRE CAR WAS GONE. NO LIGHTS NO NOTHING. TOWED CAR TO DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT, THEY HAD IT FOR 2 DAYS AND COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY HAD TO JUMP THE BATTERY TO GET IT STARTED, THEN HEAD LIGHT MALFUNCTION WAS SEEN ON SCREEN AGAIN. MECHANIC KEPT TRYING TO FIND OTHER ISSUES, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AND THE BATTERY WAS NOT FAILING. WHEN I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK AND TRIED TO START IT NO KEY INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. THEN PLACED KEY ON START BUTTON TO GET IT STARTED. THEY STILL HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THIS WAS. SAID IT WAS A FLUKE. I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A MAJOR PROBLEM DUE TO SENSORS, MALFUNCTIONING, SINCE THEY HAD BEEN REPLACED ONCE ALREADY, DUE TO MALFUNCTIONS. NOT SAFE IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THANKFULLY THE CAR WAS PARKED WHEN IT OCCURRED. I HAVE INCLUDED 2 PHOTOS SHOWN TO ED MARTIN NISSAN DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT, WHERE I TOWED THE CAR TO FOR DIAGNOSTIC. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE TO REPAIR.*DT CONSUMER STATED ENGINE WAS PARKED AT MY DESTINATION. WHEN SHE TRIED TO START THE CAR AS USUAL, PUSHING BOTH THE START BUTTON AND PRESSING THE BRAKE. BRAKES WOULD NOT COMPRESS. THEN THE WARNING LIGHT STARTED FLASHING.*JB

FRONT IMPACT WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND AFFECTS THE CRUISE CONTROL AND TRIES TO STOP WITHOUT ANYTHING IN FRONT OF CAR. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 4200 MILES AND HAS BEEN IN SHOP 5 FIVES FOR THE SAME THING AND ALL NISSAN DEALERSHIP DOES IS CLEAR CODE, ADJUST SENSORS AND/OR CALIBRATE SENSORS BUT NEVER CHANGES OUT SENSORS. THERE IS ALREADY SEVERAL CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS WITH NISSAN ON FRONT SENSOR AND THIS MALFUNCTION. THIS IS CLEARLY A HAZARD DRIVING THE CAR AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO DRIVE SINCE THIS CAR CAN TRY TO STOP WHEN NOTHING IS IN FRONT OF CAR.

Summary

WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY/SLOWING TO STOP AT A LIGHT, MY FRONT COLLISION LIGHT CAME ON AND NO ONE WAS AHEAD OF ME. WHILE STILL IN MOTION MY VEHICLES ENGINE SHUT OFF AND I HAD TO PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BREAK AT THE LIGHT AND SHIFTED THE CAR FROM DRIVE TO PARK. KEEPING MY FOOT ON THE BREAK STARTED THE ENGINE WITH THE PUSH BUTTON WHICH HAD TROUBLE TURNING OVER AND THE DASH LIT UP THE FOLLOWING LIGHTS: MASTER INDICATOR, SLIP WARNING AND AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BREAKING SYSTEM WARNING. ON THE DIGITAL DISPLAY IT READ SOMETHING TO DO WITH EMISSIONS BUT WENT AWAY BEFORE I COULD TAKE THE PHOTO. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I GAVE GAS TO THE VEHICLE AND IT STRUGGLED TO GAIN SPEED OVER 5 MPH FOR OVER 1000 FEET THEN WENT BACK TO NORMAL SPEEDS AND THE OTHER LIGHTS WENT OFF AND ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THE NEXT DAY AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF AGAIN BUT NO DISPLAY THIS TIME, JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF.I'VE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE CENTER DISPLAY AND CONTROLS SINCE I PURCHASED A VEHICLE JUST OVER A YEAR AGO. THE RADIO TURNS ON AND OFF ON ITS OWN TURN THE VOLUME UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN WHICH I CAN SOMETIMES CONTROL FROM THE STEERING WHEEL BUT NEVER FROM THE CENTER. EVEN WHEN USING STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS THE RADIO WILL DO ITS OWN THING. SO I COULD BE DRIVING WITH THE RADIO OFF AND IT WILL BE ON FULL BLAST I TURN IT DOWN WITH THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT WILL GO BACK TO FULL BLAST. THE VERY NEXT DAY AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT LISTED I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. AS I LEFT THE RADIO PROVED TO BE NOT FIXED. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO TO FIX IT & WAS TOLD A WEEK FOR THE PART TO COME. I CONTACTED CORPORATE AFTER INVESTIGATION, THEY WOULD NOT BUY BACK MY CAR WHICH IS JUST OVER A YEAR OLD WITH 15,500 MILES. NO RECEIPT GIVEN AFTER REPLACING CENTER CONSOL.

DRIVING LIKE NORMAL AND THE CAR AHEAD OF ME SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID A WRECK I SLAMMED ON MINE TO PREVENT THIS AFTERWARD TRAFFIC STARTED MOVING ON AND THE COLLISION AND IMPACT SENSOR CAME ON BUT I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING. I HAVE LOOKED AT THE MANUAL AND IT WILL NOT TELL THE OWNER ME HOW TO GET THE CRASH LIGHT TO GO OFF. EVEN ONLINE YOU CAN FIND NOTHING ABOUT HOW TO RESET OR TURN OFF THE ALERT. THE OTHER ALERT IS FOR THE ASSISTED BRAKING FEATURE IT DIDN'T WORK BUT THE LIGHT CAME ON BUT WILL NOT GO OFF AND THERE ARE NO INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO RESET IT OR TAKE IT OFF. NOT EVEN THE FACTORY RESET OR UNPLUGGING THE BATTERY WILL MAKE IT GO OFF. I BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE KICKS FROM SAID THEY WOULD FIX THE ERROR BUT THEY WILL CHARGE ME TO DO SO WHICH I THINK IS WRONG SINCE IT IS NOT WRECKED BUT JUST MALFUNCTIONING. IF I KNEW TO GET SOMETHING ON THE KICKS WAS GOING TO BE LIKE PULLING TEETH II WOULD HAVE STUCK WITH THE ALTIMA AS I DID WITH MY LAST PREVIOUS PURCHASES WITH NISSAN.
