Headlights turn off at night while driving and in most cases will still not work after moving the headlight switch or power cycling the switch. Have to shut down and restart multiple times for headlights to work. This problem affects the low beam lights and not the high beams or parking lights as they continue to work and function with the switch. Has happened 3 nights in a row returning from work in the dark.

Extremely poor lighting condition. It only illuminates approximately 10 feet ahead. Would have to manually use high beams to make night time driving even possible. Extremely poor design and not even sure how it passed safety tests and ratings. I have been warning Nissan since I purchased the car. Now I have learned that the 2021 is improved because of this major defect. This will definitely cause an accident.

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.
Only happens when driving at night. When driving and keeping your foot on the gas pedal the lights go dim and when you remove your foot of the gas pedal the lights go back to bright. Also the engine is making a rattling noise. Was seen a couple times at the dealership for the lights but was told nothing wrong with it. Its not normal for lights to do that whole driving on the road. Especially for a brand new car that has only gotten 15,000 miles.

When headlights are set to automatic they do not come on when running the wipers. The only way to get them on when raining is to manually select them. The owners manual states that they should turn own automatically with wipers.
When I bought the car my front collision sensor light was on I had to take it to the dealership and I was told it was affected now there is an active recall on my vehicle and it's affecting my brakes my lighting and my speed control because I can't break and they have not sent me a recall or send any information to me I found this out on my carfax report.
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.
For some reason when I start my car it revs up like my foot is on the gas. My radio cuts off and restarts for no reason. When my lights are on automatic once my car is parked it takes 15 or longer intermittently for them to shut off.

Brakes go out easy/bottom of car is a total mess and non stop problems.
Vehicle in notion on city streets. Vehicle looses acceleration (gas peddle pressed, no rpms, no engine revving) would have to release gas and press peddle again a couple times before car would jerk into acceleration. Also, break lights flicker when car is in park (like if someone was tapping the breaks, but nobody was in the car. Car has roughly 66k miles.
Airbags defective(not working during impact of crash) tires bald 3 front fender bumper off vehicle in motion not turning stationary.
The fuse for the low beam 15 amp the driver side started to blow replaced one time, light would work after approx 2 days blew up again, replaced and started to burn a wire from the wires under the fuse box under the hood. I cannot pin point where the wire is burning and now the light is very dim and high beam is not working either, before only the low beam was the problem and I'm afraid it will catch fire. The car did not get wet as the car was parked for about three weeks after the first fuse replacement. The car was not moving as I was replacing the fuse.

Was traveling eastbound on PA st rd 31, at 45mph, around 6pm, November 10. 2014, a 2006 chevy malibu darted out from a side street without yeilding in front of my vehicle. As the other vehicle when darting out from intersection, the vehicle was directly in front of mine, therefore was unable to stop to prevent crash. Swerved right to try to avoid collision but was unable to avoid contact. Contact was made from the front driver side of my vehicle, as well as the rear driver side of the other vehicle involved. There was no air bag diployment and my vehicle is equipted with driver and passenger air bags.
