general problems of the 2018 Nissan Sentra

Car won't start, stranded in parking lots, on road. Have seen hundreds of complaints about the same thing ,saying it's either a brake switch or ignition switch. Very scary to be stranded somewhere. Nissan is aware and said it's common problem? hard to believe Nissan or the NHTSA does not believe this to be a safety issue.

My 2018 Nissan Sentra has under 60,000 miles on it and is on its 3rd set of brake rotors, as well as had both front and rear brake pads replaced 2 times. The vehicle has always given the warning , front radar not detected alert, until the last 12 months where I began receiving a malfunction warning. My car has been brought to 2 different Nissan dealerships to work on this issue. The current one stating my front sensor is failing & will need to be replaced however there is no warranty on it. I am the only owner of my vehicle and it has not been in any forward collisions. As for the power train/transmission, I received a transmission flush in may of 2023, and now 15 months later was told by a different Nissan dealership it needed a flush as it appeared the transmission was going bad. The vehicle has stalled several times, continuously has a high rmp when accelerating and the ac has gone out a couple of months ago.

I purchased this car October 10th of 2021 and 2 days after I purchased it I called my service department because I was driving on the highway at 65 miles an hour and the malfunction warning light came on for the automatic braking system and it also depressed my brakes so it scared the crap out of me. I was told that because of the weather it was raining that day that that sometimes happens. I didn't think anything of it on December 10th my son got into a car accident with the car and he did some damage to the front axle and the front end of the car it has since been repaired and now everyday several times a day the same thing happens and it is messing with my brakes and it's scaring me and I don't know what to do.

I received a recall notice (pm971) (21v-135) on may 4, 2021. I went twice to the dealership to have my car fixed. I called several times asking what to do to get the recall completed. One person said they needed to look at it to get the part. I went to the dealership on may 24, 2021 and I am still waiting for them to call me telling me that they have the part. Meanwhile, I am having lots of trouble stepping on the brake to start the car. Frequently it takes me up to 10 minutes before I can get the car started. Yesterday (9/19), I gave up trying to start the car. Today, (9/20) I had problems each time I tried to use the car, taking 5-10 minutes each time. The first time I went to the dealership, the technician said he didn't know why the notice was sent out because they didn't have the parts. The dealership is ray brandt Nissan 4000 lapalco blvd. , marrero, la 70072. I could not evacuate for hurricane ida because I could not be sure that I would be able to start my car or that my brake lights would work in stop an go traffice. My car is my only means of getting to work and accomplishing other tasks. I cannot continue to hope that my car will eventually start and hoping that my brake lights continue to work. Your help is appreciated.

Unknown. However there has been a safety recall about the brake lights not illuminating. I have tried three times to make an appointment with Nissan dealership to get this problem fixed but I have had no luck with them helping. Im worrried about my daughters safety. She is not even two years old yet, I dont want her or anyone else on the road getting hurt because of a faulty safety feature.

A timely fix for this recall has no been issued.

There was a recall due to fluid build up that can cause loss of the brakes in the car I just bought from carvana. Thank god I researched the VIN because it wasn't disclosed to me from carvana. I could have died in an accident if I never would have did a VIN search so see if any recalls ever happened. How can I get this fixed immediately?.

My 2018 Nissan Sentra is having a problem with the (aeb) automatic braking system. I've had the car for 10 months and while im driving, I get a warning light indicating that the aeb has malfunctioned, followed by a constant beeping noise that doesnt go away unless I turn the vehicle off. The loud beep will keep going for as long as im driving, and the vehicle sometimes brakes on its own, which is scary, and dangerous. Everyday that I drive the vehicle, the light comes on automatically while im driving, followed by the annoying beep, theres not one day it doesn't happen, as far as the braking goes, that happens depending on the position of the vehicle and other vehicles. Sometimes objects will make my vehicle brake, or sometimes it'll brake for no reason, just a slight brake.

Ebs malfunction warning light comes on. Every day. When car is in motion.

Over 2 1/2 years of ownership of the vehicle, I've taken the car in for service 6 times for the same problem: the break switch has failed to allow the push-button starter to engage, which leaves me unable to star the car. The issue effectively leaves me stranded and has resulted in making me late. It only happeneds when starting the car so it's stationary.

Vehicle's automatic emergency braking (aeb) system malfunctions and applies vehicle brakes in random instances. This poses a safety hazard as the vehicle could brake suddenly when in traffic and cause a crash.

As I was driving down a street preparing to get on the freeway the malfunction and collision sign popped up in the dash board. . After so long a continuous ding sound can be heard. Pulled over turned the car off car wouldn't start. Had to tap the brakes several times before the car would even start. . Only have 30,000 miles and I just got this car in April and already having issue. .

Front radar unavailable due to obstruction flashed on the dashboard while in motion.

I bought a 2018 Nissan sentry in November of 2018. In the past month the brand new car has not been starting. It has been leaving me stranded at work and at the store. I keep taking it to the dealer ship and they replace the brake switch and battery. However the car is still not starting on me. The dealership replace the brake switch again but now they are waiting for another part. This is very frustrating because it's a new car and to me everything in the car should be new. Thank you vivian j herrera.

2018 Nissan Sentra safety system malfunction. Automatic emergency braking system not working with error displayed �front radar unavailable due to obstruction. �.

Car has 14,000 miles on it and is under warranty. The front radar camera is constantly acting like the car is in a wreck and it lights up the dash with various crash emblems. . I took it to the local Nissan dealership and they put in a new radar camera and it continues to do the same exact thing 2 days after being in the dealership for 7 full days. . . Nissan cant fix this radar crash sensor. . . . This happens after you crank the car and you go roughly a hundred yards.

Every time the car is driven, the aeb warning light comes on and it beeps saying that there's an obstruction. It happens all the time and there is no obstruction present. It happens while driving and when stopped.

Front radar system turns off and then resets for no apparent reason. Dash message is 'front radar unavailable due to obstruction'. It is tied into the automatic emergency braking system and intelligent cruise control. Happens when vehicle is in motion on varied roadways. There is no obstruction.
