The forward collision warning sensor,the rear collision sensor and the traction lights turns on and off from time to time . The transmission seems like its been force to accelerate.
Car phantom brakes. There are multiple cases of it online where people are complaining when the front emergency brake warning light comes up at times and the car brakes automatically in empty highways. This happens fairly often.
I was driving on the freeway and without warning my car reduced speed. Then there was a warning bell that showed engine malfunction power reduced. Then the check engine light came and my rear and front warning indicator came on.
This has been happening multiple times since December 25th, 2023. Presently, it's in the shop for the 6th time. This orange light comes on and then right after the vehicle just stops or slows down. Nothing is in front of or behind me. It's random. . . Happens at night or anytime during the day and it stops itself while driving. It has been taken to the dealership 6 times since December and the problem has not been remedied. It is scary getting into the vehicle every time because I wonder, will it happen today? and what if someone is behind me? that could cause a major accident with injuries.
I can be driving and all of a sudden the collision symbol starts flashing,it has done it at least ten times.
Front crash warning malfunction on my dash.
I've taken my car for repair service 4 times due to a malfunction warning and front driving aids off warning. They replaced speed sensor as well as cv axle as well as a hub and bearing and it still is not driving right and has almost caused me accidents with my children in the car to where I pulled over and cried I was scared to continue driving. They cannot figure out the problem.
The forward collision warning light comes on saying their is a malfunction. It stays on for a couple of days, and then it goes away and comes back again a couple of days later. I had my sister husband hook up a diagnostic scanner on the car, and he said that it displayed no error codes for the problem. I believe this should be a safety recall because I noticed a lot of people driving the 2020 Nissan Altima have the same problem as me.
During a code scan on the vehicle, the intelligent driver assistance system showed to refer to oem repair manual for code description repair. The next day the vehicle crashed at 15 mph due to loss of control. Tie rod broke causing vehicle to crash and tire was detached. Vehicle is available to inspect. No warning lamps or message other then scan results .
Crash malfunction is randomly coming on while driving. It comes on even when there is no vehicle in front of you. It comes on at random speeds from 2 to 40 mph. I feel that if there was a warning, it may not come on. Problem has been going vehicle is being inspected by Nissan today however the technician cannot duplicate the issue since it is random. It has come on 12 times in the past 15 days.
When first purchased car headlights on passenger side did t work. They had to change the computer system. Had car whole week to complete. Then had to straighten the hood because it was off track. Now they states I have to get axle gears dropped and greased. Only had car 3 months and warranty doesn’t covers anything. States I need fuel induction and injection serviced.
Car continually goes into malfunction mode. It goes away when the car is turned off and re started. It throws a code for mass air flow sensor. Have replaced mass air flow sensor three times. No dealership or mechanic can find an issue. Sometimes, the collision warning goes off for no reason causing panic. This has been going on for a year. Began March 2022.
When braking there is a popping noise coming from the front of the car. And the foward braking light comes on for 5-10 mins of driving time then goes off.
The collision lights keep coming on I have taken this car to Nissan now abour 4/5 times and have to take it again as the problem is never resolved. I wrote to corporate and was brushed off. Its a safety issue now because if im driving the vehicle it can abruptly stop and cause an accident. I fear driving this car because it not only jeopardizes my safety, my familes but the other drivers on the road. Nissa. Needs to accept liability and just take back this junk. I show the dealers these videos and pictures with the different times and mileage and problem still persists. I dunno what other options I have left. Thank you.
