Radio comes on by itself. Car is not on. Took it to my Nissan dealership may 17, 2021. Nothing was found.

42 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2021

I own a 2019 Nissan Sentra that was bought as a preowned car in 2020. About a year after purchasing the car I was stranded for the first time when after parking for about 8 hours my car did not start. After getting the car jump started the battery tested in good working order. Since then if my car is locked using the key fob for a few hours (4 or more) the car will not start more than 70% of the time. If the car is manually locked, even for 2 weeks, the problem does not occur, and there is no issue getting the car started. The safety risk is being stranded. The car battery is being drained while the car is parked, and locked, but charges back when driving. All electrical components that can be turned off are turned off (radio, air conditioner, lights).

The display screen for heat/air conditioning and airflow controls will randomly shut off. The temperature and airflow controls will still work even when the screen is off. I will have the heat set to 70 but it feels like I pressed the air conditioning button ( ihave not and checked by pressing the air conditioning button). While other times, I will have the air temperature set to 62 and it feels like I've turned it up to 85 degrees.

48 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 03/10/2020

The keyless entry fob is slightly sensitive. I financed the car on 3/10/2020. After taking a nap upon leaving the vaccination clinic for tetna adult shot, I slept from around 6pm-142am in a wooded area parking spot at a local park and when I woke up, my car doors were unlocked and my driver side window was open a little and I had it raised and was sure to lick the door prior to going to sleep. Then on 3/11/2029, I went to the convenience store for a pit stop when I arrived back to the car, the trunk was open and when I got out if the car I was sure to look at it while hitting the lock and placed the key in my pocket.

49 Electrical System problem

Everytime I drive about 4 miles the front radar sensor gets disabled and displays a warning, this disabled the cruise and turns of automatic emergency braking, this is dangerous for me to drive with, I have taken the car to the dealership 3 times and its still happening, the dealership claims they fixed it but did not.

50 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2020

The radio turns off and on by itself without the car being on. I have walked up to the car to hear it playing music. It happens randomly driving, not driving, and with no power to car. I am worried about my battery draining. Also, the air conditioner display is blank from time to time. Only the orange lights on the buttons are lit up. Sometime if I restart the car, it will come back on as if it is reset, other times it does not help. The display screen above the ac control panel freezes along with the display in between the speedometer from time to time. It seems as if the computer system does what it wants to and when it wants. I have not had the car for 6 months and it's already giving me problems. It was purchased at the end of September 2019 from a Nissan dealership, brand new with 4 miles on it.

Traveling in traffic about 35 mph all of a sudden traffic came to stop. I applied my brakes and did not grab right away I turned the steering wheel to avoid hitting the vehicle in front of me. I hit my front left corner in the back right corner of the other vehicle. My air bags did not discharged,my frontal brake sensor gave no warnings . I just had my vehicle inspected last week. I filed a claim with my insurance company, made a police report. Two weeks ago I was at the dealer asking it there was any recalls because my sensor lights comes on when nothing is in front of me. I was told that there is no recalls on my vehicle. That the recall on the front sensor was for the Nissan rogue where the vehicle brakes on its own.

55 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 02/18/2019

Time freezes on dash screen along with what was playing on my bluetooth in dash cluster screen. Radio buttons and phone buttons stop working on steering wheel when dash cluster screen freezes. The first time I brought my car in on 2/18/19 with this problem they told me it was my charger then they are having problems with iphones with 2019 Nissan vehicles. Stopped using charger. Second time bringing my vehicle in for same continuous problem on 3/27/19 they did an electrical system check but couldn't find anything. Still not using charger. Third time bringing my vehicle in 5/29/19 electrical system check was done and they told me that my battery was low crank as well. Told me it is a safety hazard now and they have to replace the dash cluster and battery. The dealership (harbor Nissan) where I purchased the car had my car for a month (they got me into a rental car the whole time)so I got it back on 6/28/19 after parts were replaced. Not even a month of having my car back it does it again on 7/23/19 my service advisor was told the car might need a harness and I called 7/27/19 my service advisor was not in and they told me I could pick my car up they couldn't get it to do it for them. But when they had it for a month it was a safety hazard?? now its not? this usually happens when driving the vehicle for over and hour or two. It happens on highway and city.

56 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 11/06/2018

I purchase 2019 Nissan Sentra on 11/6/2019 with 15 miles at Nissan of muskogee. Since purchase the automatic emergency braking (aeb) system deactivates and shows a warning on the dashboard �front radar unavailable due to obstruction. � a crash icon also on dashboard at all times. No cruise control. The car is out of balance. The sensor comes on at all time wether or not there are other vehicle near the car. The dealership and service department alleges that I am the only one with this problem and the parts not available. I brought it in to service. The dealership service barely look at the car nor check codes. The balance is worse. This is cause by a faulty defective radar sensor in the front grill. Service is now waiting for parts that Nissan can't get anywhere.
