9 Service Brakes problem

10 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 03/11/2021

I have had two separate incidents 8 months apart. While driving in the city limits on both occurrences going about 45 mph both times, without any notice or potential collision the aeb engaged, and a red flash came across my dashboard. The first time it was just me in the car with very little traffic around me, whereas with the most recent occurrence the traffic was heavier. I had my mother and 2 young children in the backseat, with a truck that looked like a f-150 not far behind me. I have been to the dealership that I bought the car from, and I have twice gotten the results that they are unable to duplicate the problem, so I guess it can't be rectified. Thankfully I have not had an accident, but driving the car in that condition raises the risk of a collision, and I'm done with that risk.

16 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 12/23/2019

Automatic emergency braking system has serious issues that Nissan knows about but can't fix. Warning lights on dash come on at random times, both solidly out and flashing, and even worse, at times with no other cars on the highway, the vehicle decides to slam on the brakes. Very dangerous. All the dealer can say is we checked the car and no codes were found, yet there are multiple complaints about this and two class action lawsuits. Same thing happens at random times when backing out of my driveway. Different system in the car but same result - car brakes for no reason - nothing behind me, no obstructions. Not quite as serious as the front emergency brakes not working but still an issue. This has happened multiple times but I entered today's date as today was the latest occurrence. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.

18 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2019

I've had my vehicle for 1 month and on at least 10 different occasions my aeb system has locked my brakes up on me for no reason. Each time I've been driving straight and it's been in my work parking garage when no other vehicles or people are in motion around me. Although I've been lucky so far and it hasn't caused me to be rear ended I still see the potential for that happening if this continues and is not fixed.

20 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/16/2019

Adaptive cruise control and automatic braking are disabled due to "front radar blocked". This is a brand new vehicle I have had for about two weeks (less than 1,000 miles). After doing some internet research, this appears to be a known issue with Nissan vehicles since 2018. I believe my vehicle was manufactured in late 2018. The issue was first noticed while driving with the cruise control engaged and I kept getting closer to the vehicle ahead of me without my vehicle automatically slowing down (I. E. , the car maintained the cruise control set speed. ) after manually braking and resetting the cruise control, the cruise control would eventually shut off and the attached message would be displayed. Prior to the issue being observed (approx. First 500 miles driven), the adaptive cruise control and automatic braking worked fine.

21 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/15/2019

I own a 2019 Nissan Altima awd and have experienced a few problems. The most significant problem is the defective forward collision safety feature. Two times the vehicle has improperly and abruptly applied brakes, the feature is intended to avoid collision, but instead its malfunction is creating road hazards. I contacted Nissan consumer affairs and they have evaded me and everytime I call they say you have been assigned a case and someone will call you soon. I attempted to service the vehicle two times this week at two different Nissan dealerships. One turned me away stating it's a known problem and Nissan does not have a fix yet. The second Nissan dealership was in the process of issuing me an alternate vehicle when they received a call from the same folks who won't return my call Nissan consumer affairs instructing the dealer not perform any service or a loaner. This is so outrageous, but I actually have it in writing to prove the level of negligence and ill service to force a customer to stay in a vehicle that they don't feel safe in. None the less their failure to do their due diligence. The safety feature malfunctioned on the highway once and the next time on a incline ramp in mall parking garage to a forceful hard stop. I have spoken with 3 general managers and 3 different consumer affairs call center reps, but yet no service or call back from Nissan north America. Negligent negligence negligent. Nissan is not what it used to be. Stay far away and tell everyone you know to stay far away. I am the owner of a model year vehicle with full warranty and this is how they are treating me. What would you get?.

22 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/11/2019

Back in the July I got into a rear end collision, the emergency braking should have kicked in but it did not. Since then, the emergency braking has applied multiple times in the open by itself with no cars ahead or in view. It makes me very nervous to drive this. It has happened both on city streets and the highway. I tried telling the Nissan dealership and they have no knowledge and are not willing to work with me for failure and damages.

23 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/11/2019

The intelligent forward collision warning is broken warning lights come on and say it's not working driving on the freeway, when you turn off the car it resets but driving again it shows the warning lights again. Only 6000 miles.

Automatic emergency braking (aeb) function failed at a red light. Aeb had been set in a 3-vehicle distance. However, upon arriving at the red light, on a city street, with another vehicle in front of us, Nissan Altima 2019 didn't actually respond to the condition and kick off its aeb system to 1) slow down 2) stop the moving vehicle.
