Automatic Emergency Braking problems of the 2019 Nissan Sentra

I keep having issues with aeb system. The emergency braking system that is supposed to sense cars in front of you and brake for you if you don’t brake yourself. I was doing about 70 mph no one else on road sunny day and my car starts beeping loudly and my brakes lock up for no reason. 3 times just today this happened. Oh and you can’t turn the system off so I just keep praying it doesn’t kill me one of these days on the interstate. Can’t believe this isn’t a recall probably won’t be until someone is seriously injured. My neck hurts from whiplash but can’t go to the hospital for that with the price of my insurance copay. Don’t buy a Nissan if you read this never buy a Nissan.

The automatic emergency braking does not operate as it was designed to. My vehicle is available for inspection upon request. My and my families safety was put at risk because the aeb failed to engage as it should have. We didn't have an accident, but came very close to it. This has happened before, and every time the vehicle fails to automatically brake. I have complained about and had the vehicle inspected for this issue several times by the dealer, during and after the manufacturers warranty expired. Every time I'm told it's operating as expected. . . . It is not! I hear warning beeps, often when someone is turning in front of me and I'm not even close to them, but it never attempts to brake. I never heard it beep when getting close enough to a vehicle directly in front of me to make it activate, until recently. After the last time I complained to the dealer about it, it's now acting different. It now beeps when I'm coming up to a vehicle that's directly in front of me, but it still fails to activate the brakes as I believe it should. I've driven other vehicles with this system and the brakes activate well before there's a chance of collision. This issue appeared within the first few months we owned the vehicle, which I purchased brand new from the dealer.

On October 14, 2023, while driving with no vehicle in front of the 2019 Nissan Sentra, the automatic emergency braking engaged, stopping the car forcefully. There were 3 warning beeps of a potential collision immediately prior to the braking, however, as stated, no vehicle was in front of this vehicle, and no other obstruction was in front of the vehicle. On October 16, 2023, while driving with no vehicle in front of the 2019 Nissan Sentra, there were 3 beeps warning of a potential collision. During this occasion, the braking did not engage and only the warning was given.

As I was driving, my car randomly came to a quick, abrupt and forceful break. It began making a beeping noise and something quickly flashed on my dashboard. It disappeared before I had a chance to read it but I remember it flashing “red”. The break lasted for maybe a second but it was extremely alarming and could have caused a severe accident if the surrounding cars were close to me. This is my second time experiencing this issue. Since it hadn’t happened in such a long time since the first time I figured the car would be okay. The first time it happened was around September 2022. And it just occurred again yesterday, on August 4,2023. Given how long I went without experiencing the problem again I did not report this specific issue to the manufacturer. However, I did experience a different problem in the past with my automatic breaking system that I did report to the manufacturer. My dashboard would randomly display a yellow picture of two cars crashing. Following the dashboard light coming on my car would randomly accelerate without me applying added pressure to the gas and it would gradually break on its own while my foot was still on the gas, but it wasn’t an abrupt break like I recently experienced. Between 2019 and 2020 I took my vehicle to passport Nissan in maryland three times for issues surrounding my breaking system. They said it was an issue with my front radar. They ordered a part and had it recalibrated. I continued to experience the same issue until I finally took it to sheehy Nissan of waldorf, where I actually purchased my car. After sheehy looked into my car I had no further issues with my car accelerating or gradually breaking. However, the issue I’m experiencing now is dangerous and can lead to car accidents, especially for the cars that drive behind me. My car is available upon request with advance notice. Please note there were no warning lamps and or messages prior to this incident.

Driving 20 mph at night on a road that was recently torn up for road resurfacing. Manhole covers were raised but not contacting the underside of the car. I was attempting to drive so that I did not have to run over the manhole covers and the automatic braking system beeped twice, flashed an advisory on the dash, and engaged full anti-skid brakes to bring the car to a complete stop. Thankfully, there was not a vehicle behind me, or my pregnant wife & I would have definitely been rear ended. I suspect the radar system, mounted on the lower left of the front bumper, picked up the manhole covers and mistook them as another car. There is a way to turn off this system, but it resets each time you restart the car. I am looking to permanently disable this system, either by a fuse or by physically disconnecting the radar from the car.

Automatic "emergency" braking system: I was driving my 2019 Nissan Sentra home a few weeks ago on a 2 lane street going about 35 mph, when suddenly and without warning, with no obstructions/cars in front of or in back of me luckily, my automatic emergency braking system engaged throwing me forward in my car seat even though I was wearing my seat belt and bringing the car practically immediately to a complete stop in the middle of the road and scaring the living daylights out of me! after this I could not drive the car home because I was to scared so I called for help to come get me. Ever since I have been deathly afraid to drive my car. I am lucky I was not in an accident! I have noticed this is a known and reported issue across the internet with this Nissan "safety" system on many of their cars as well as some lawsuits against them for similar incidents. I cannot understand why such a serious and potentially dangerous issue has been left unchecked and unresolved by Nissan or anyone for that matter! this issue is a serious danger for both the driver and passengers of cars with this problem as well as other drivers on the road! I am lucky no one was behind me and my kids weren't in the car! calling the Nissan dealership I found that they want around 150 dollars just to diagnose problem! and if its any of the sensors malfunctioning/needing replacing that its around 750 dollars for one sensor! not including whatever else the defective issue could be. I am not the original owner of this car, I bought it used, I was told by dealership and informed on car-fax that it was never in an accident. So far the problem has not been able to be reproduced, it is an defect/malfunction/issue, that happens unexpectedly when it wants to. Warning lamps activated: front crash warning light which will not go off and I can find no way to reset. I asked dealer to reset it but instead they insisted I pay 150 dollars for a diagnostic I could not afford.

At 65mph, I hit a tiny bump. The automatic braking system and collision detection warnings triggered and I lost all acceleration ability. I was nearly hit by a semi while coasting off the freeway in traffic. When inspected by Nissan the first time it happened (9/20/2021), the lights turned off and the computer reset. They did a warranty recall for something unrelated and told me they fixed it. On 5/13/2022 it did it again, and on 5/30 I was told it would not be covered under any warranty - all diagnosis and repair would be my own cost. A sensor should never take control of the car away from the driver. The only way to regain acceleration is to turn the car off. Wait. Turn it on. Wait. Use the menu, turn off automatic emergency braking, drive.

Forward collision warning light came on as I was driving w/ no cars in front of me. The car jerked as if I slammed on my brakes. As I was pulling into my driveway, malfunction see owners manual showed along w/ aeb warning light. I waited a while then came back outside to start car and the brakes were stiff and it wouldn't start. Malfunction see owners manual showed again along w/ aeb warning light and engine light blinking. Then it started to make a constant, solid beeping type noise and shut off. I literally just found about the recall as I never received any type of notice. It took google to tell me this which brought me here.

The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated while driving 45 mph and exiting the highway, the forward collision avoidance automatic emergency braking feature engaged inadvertently and the vehicle stopped abruptly, causing the vehicle to fishtail. The contact stated that an unknown red warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that there were no other vehicles nearby at the time of the failure. The next day, the contact notified the dealer of the failure and made an appointment to have a diagnostic test performed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.

The fcw and the aeb lights come on periodically stating that the system is malfunctioning. Took it to the dealer and they said it was the sensor for the fcw and aeb that has failed. Other vehicles around my mileage and year and model have had the same issues. Nissan needs to take care of this.

2019 Nissan Sentra automatic emergency braking system suddenly brakes w/o warning while cars are present or not, sensor light comes on and car will stall or abruptly/automatically stop itself. Malfunction light comes on states malfunction look in owners manual. While driving car automatically stopped at a light or in traffic and would not move forward the malfunction light came on. This has been occurring 2 days after purchase (11-6- 2021- 12-7-2021) until recent. 12-7-21 the car stopped itself at a red light (I was the first vehicle in line no one in front of me or to my sides) on green as I tried to press on the gas the car stalled, the back windows rolled up and down, the radio went on and off, and the malfunction light for aeb flashed then the car locked, then solid engine light came on, @ first I could not get my hazard lights on then suddenly they worked. People drove past me honked, called me names, and finally one person helped me move it out of the road. While on the side of the road the car again was on but when I pressed on gas would not accelerate, however while the brake and emergency brake were on and the car was in park it rolled backwards. My son return it to the purchasing dealership twice with the complaint of the malfunction light on told they did not know what was going on and that it was unusual bring it back for maintenance. Problem persisted. The car has been brought back twice to the dealership with this and other braking/electrical concerns w/in a shorttime before the final major incident happened (I am thankful that no-one was hurt). Right now 12-8-2021, I had been back to the dealership after reporting the incident with the idea that I would be helped and put into a newer safer vehicle, not the case upon arrival they tried to up sell me a new car @ higher price, when I said no, my option was to fix what is covered under warranty. States they will run own diagnostic test.

I have been telling Nissan in my town and they say that know about this aeb malfunction. My husband and I couldve died! we were on the interstate late at night going about 80 mpl when the aeb system activated by itself and slammed on the breaks. We started the spin out and the traction control came on and abs shut off effectively locking up my tires and throwing me into a full spin which resulted in my crashing into the gaurd rail. I've never been more scared in my life. Add this to the list with the transmission issues.

My tires have been check twice and they are all at manufacture pressure psi and still my car has the temps tire sensor light on when I continue to drive the malfunction light comes on and the emergency braking system starts.

Bought 2019 Nissan Sentra for our daughter. As she was driving on the 405 n and had to brake on the freeway during high traffic time, the warning malfunction light comes on and 3 instrument cluster light comes aeb, front collision, and warning light. Took it to Nissan, they diagnose 2 codes that comes up in the TSB, dtc c1a16 (radar blocked) and dtc c1a12 (laser beam off-center) stating that it is a safety issue but I still had to pay diagnosis and the part and labor to fix it.

My cars aeb system engages for no reason. This is the second time it has done this and now the malfunction light and alarm stays on continuously. My warning light saying unavailable front radar has been on since third month after I bought it. . I'm scared to put my children in car due to the fear of it braking suddenly for no reason and bringing my car to a complete stop.

Our 2019 Sentra won't start and we ended up buying a battery and it still won't start. From the research I've done looks like a breaking sensor. Due to the. Real lights not lighting up at all. Seems to be a reoccurring thing for Sentras. This is a safety issue and potential lawsuit due to the car turning off on the road.

Intermittent problem with emergency braking system. When obstruction is detected the emergency braking system will override all use of manual braking. The brake pedal will go to the floor without activating any form of brakes for a few seconds and the automatic brakes do nothing. Once while trying to stop on a 55mph highway for a traffic light and once while entering a one lane construction zone on a 70mph interstate. Local Nissan dealer has diagnosed the car as working as intended but I'm sure it's intended for the vehicle to stop.

My insurance never covered the amount I was ensuring my car before because the recalls.

Last month I was involved in an accident that could have been avoided if my sensors were working properly, my emergency brake system did not employ after being involved in an accident I used my standard brake the car went down being rear-ended somebody but I had plenty of time to stop with only the front brakes to bullying allowed my car to nosedive and slide emergency brake was not released and stopped working because of sensors were no longer telling the car to break I had full coverage insurance and insurance and not covering my car because the car lot did not advise me of his problem or the recalls on this car I've been working with my credit for over 2 years now and because I'm neglected to tell me what was wrong with the car I have to set for now, and I also noticed that only the driver side airbag deployed and me and my daughter were in the car and that was the only safety feature that was released with my credit being bad I was forced to a high Apr rate and nearly $40,000 for a Nissan Sentra that wasn't worth $0. 25.

My car frequently chimes with the forward collision warning / emergency brake assist as though there is a chance of a collision. When it does this, there is absolutely nothing in front of my car! when leaving work 2 days ago, I started to cross a little bump in the road that I cross daily with no issues; this particular instance however, my car decided that it was an apparent collision because my car came to a dead stop from about 15-20 miles per hour. Fortunately my husband and I were both wearing our seatbelts, and no one was behind us as it would have certainly caused an accident. The sensor/radar for the forward collision/emergency brake assist is a hazard in my opinion. The concept is fantastic, but if it's not going to work properly, then it needs to be removed from vehicles, or at least be able to be disabled indefinitely, not just while you're operating the vehicle only to have to remember to disable the function next time you're driving.

While driving at night, going to the movies, it was a windy night, some obstruction, something small, nicked the front plastic bumper. There was no warning from the aeb. After that happen, the alert aeb light popped up and it's still on. Nothing was broken on the veh. As a matter of fact, there is no damage or nothing to the veh. Just that nick. Bought the car brand new with about 20 miles on it. This happen about two months after. Took it to the dealer where I bought it and told me they don't cover it. It would cost me $1200 dollars out of my pocket to fix it. Also, there was no other vehicles involved for that matter. So, what is the use of buying the extended warranty if when the time comes to use it, it's not covered?.
