Warnings Problems of Nissan Sentra - part 1

There are issues with the sensors. Specifically, the collision sensors. I have owned a 2022 Nissan Sentra for a few months now and multiple times have had the traction control malfunction warning, front collision sensor malfunction warning, and back collision sensor malfunction warning appear. In turn, this makes other safety features like the lane departure warning malfunction as well. This is a safety risk because first, the point of collision sensors is to minimize the risk of being in an accident. Second, if the sensors are corroding or have issues it can cause a fire or damage other aspects of the vehicle. I payed for multiple reports of the car. I assumed it was in an accident and the dealership did not disclose it. As the issue becomes more persistent it is clear that is what the car does. Malfunction.

Driving down the road and the camera above on windshield above rearview mirror went out as well as the forward collision braking. Both went out at the same time. The problem was inspected by a certified mechanic shop. It puts people’s lives at risk once each sensors go out limiting the safety features.

Transmission is slipping when trying to go up hills. Also crash detection sensor malfunction and these items need recalled. Especially the transmission when I see I'm not the only complaint.

When it rains the car hydroplanes and the traction on the tires are no good. Also the door locks don't unlock properly and the door won't open. Also the warning for vehicle collision front and back doesn't work properly and doesn't warn you when a vehicle is going to hit you from behind. I was rear-ended and it didn't alert me at all and the driver of the other vehicle took off. And once in a while the front collision works and most of the time it doesn't work.

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.

Any time cruise control is used rear collision and front collision lights come on causing the car to not be able to be driven when using cruise control. Transmission is shifting way harder than it should. . Radio sometimes glitches.

I have noticed that there was false alarms coming out of the forward collision warning system and the automatic rear parking warning system. When I was driving down a road, there was a person walking on the sidewalk not near the actual road itself. My car thought that I was going to hit that person and sounded the warning. For the rear, when I was reversing out of my driveway, the rear parking warning sounded and the automatic breaking came into effect. The car thought I was going to hit the ground, although I had enough clearance. I believe the automatic breaking system for the rear and front is defective and needs more work. I used to own a 2021 Nissan Sentra, same features and I never had these kinds of false alarms as I have with my current 2023 Nissan Sentra.

I read all of the 214 complaints by consumers who have had the same scary incident occur to them. I have completed all of my recalls and for the life of the vehicle I have had the maintenance plan. The car has been well taken car of. After reading the complaints, I also have had an incident where the vehicles rpm's increased for no reason almost causing me to hit another vehicle in front of me and I quickly swerved to miss the vehicle. Then as quick as this happened the car just slowed down to a complete stop. I tried putting my foot on the accelerator and the vehicle would not move. I then pressed the accelerator all the way down to the floor of the vehicle. Nothing. This halting stop almost caused several vehicles to get in an accident. This is a serious problem and Nissan needs to rectify this horrible safety issue and fix all of our cars. I am going to talk to a lawyer. This is going to kill someone or cause serious harm to others.

The cruise control stopped working and there is a collision/crash malfunction.

My car doesn’t accelerate. I was driving and a car behind me almost hit me because I pressed on the gas but it didn’t go.

Front collision isn't working. Warning on dash.

While I was driving, the front collision warning and emergency brake went off out of nowhere when there was no cars in front of me as the street was empty.

The sensor comes on intermittently even when there is nothing in front of the vehicle.

When the sun is out and there is no clouds obscuring the sunlight my vehicle has night time lights running, dimming the interior of my car making it difficult to see the speed and other dashboard requirements while perfectly bright and sunny outside and 0800am as well as 1500pm. This has been going on for two months and I took it in to two dealerships. One told me check your manual and the other went further and told me "by Nissan standards it is functioning normally. " this doesn't make sense to me as the sun is out, it isn't dark or dim and yet when on automatic lighting my night lights, not my normal running lights,,are on and causing me unable to see what's on my dash. Also whe. The sun is hitting the front of my car my nissas blinks the collision indicator showing it won't do it as something is obstructing it but this happens when the sun is directly pointing in certain areas of the sky. More so early morning and late evening just as the sun is rising and falling.

My vehicle is unsafe to drive as now its alerting me of malfunction ebs. The alert is a constant beep and the ebs will start to activate when no vehicles are present to avoid a collision.

I brought this car in January 2023 and the forward emergency braking keeps popping on while driving. There are zero cars that were in front of me. This is the 4th time this has happened. With the last 2 incidents happening within the last 24hrs . 10/21/23 & 10/22/23. This is issue that may cause accident.

On a few occasions, while driving, the forward collision warning came on causing the car to automatically brake when there were no cars in front of or around the car. Brought the car to dealer and was quoted $2057. 50. After that, all 4 automatic door locks stopped working. Brought car to dealer again and was quoted $1375. 00 to replace the door actuators for a grand total of $3658. 78. Nissan consumer affairs was called and they said they would only cover 50% of the repairs. These items are huge safety issues and Nissan should cover the entire bill.

Vehicles will slams on brakes as if it is trying to avoid something in front of the vehicle. This has randomly happened several times at different driving speeds. This has been reported to dealership with no resolution because they cannot duplicate. In addition, I have had the same serious recall involving the tie rod for my vehicle and there is no resolution. The dealership will tell you how serious the issue is and that there is stop sale on these vehicles to entice you to trade in the vehicle instead of trying to make it right with the consumer.

I got this vehicle pre owned by carvana. My rear and head lights flicker off and on with any one touching them. My power inside the car like for the radio, heating and cooling will stop working for a few days and randomly come on when it wants. Then local Nissan broke my plastic undercarriage during my recall they didn’t complete and now it’s dragging across the ground.

The electronic steering control unit stops working while driving. This is dangerous and a known problem. The parts are on back order because all available supply in us is depleted. Also the front sensors for safety turn off in the rain.

When driving the forward collision avoidance system acts up. It will randomly slam on the breaks when nothing is in front. It also happens when cruise control is on, it will slam the breaks with an empty road ahead. It also thinks that there is something ahead when the road is clear ahead. This needs to be looked at because the number of complaints in regard to this is silly.

My vehicle randomly slammed on the brakes twice tonight within a 30 minute span. The first time was on a busy highway going about 45 mph at about 7:00 pm. The second time was on a residential street going about 25 mph at about 8:00 pm. Both times, the dashboard lit up red with hazard lights. Nothing was directly in front of me that would have caused the issue. Mileage is less than 20,000.

Several electrical and transmission problems. Vehicle over exerts battery. Transmission goes out of overdrive while driving . Collusion avoidance radar constantly goes into malfunction modes. Car over heats.

1. My brakes locked up on my and the warning light came on saying I hit something 2. The only windows that works is the drivers identified 3. My warning lights came on and it started smelling inside the car I shut the car off and the warning light went off so I thought it was ok finished driving home and became sick opened the hood and my battery had smoke pouring out of each side my sinuses were burning, my throat was on fire I was sick the rest of the night I called poison control and they told me what to do.

I brought this car 1/28/2023. The car emergency brake or stop was activated for no reasons at all. There was zero objects in front of my bumper. This happened to me twice. Once in may 2023 and then again on the 4th of July 2023. I called the dealership on 1st incident in may 2023 and I was told that the brakes will be applied if the car thinks it’s getting ready to crash. This is very dangerous and can cause an accident if the emergency braking system is causing the car to stop for no reasons.

The forward collision warning keeps malfunctioning; it has done it a total of three times so far once when I first cranked up the car and was just sitting in it for about 10 minutes and it popped on as soon as I switched into drive and it wouldn’t allow me to move so I had to restart my car, second time was on the interstate and luckily nothing bad happened and third time it just popped on when I cranked my car and then cut off as I was driving.

Car emergency stops with no reason. Dangerous. Will cause accident. Needs recalled.

Automatic emergency braking and front collision avoidance system has caused the vehicle to brake when there is nothing in front of vehicle, or show "system malfunction" on the dash. Dealer unable to duplicate but said it happens to most Nissan Sentra's. Found it happens more frequently when there is rain or bad weather.

My tie rod broke on me 3 days ago.

The car applied automatic emergency braking for no reason. The speed at the time was about 20-25mph. This is around the fourth time this has happened since purchasing the vehicle about 10 months ago.

To be brief, I had a Nissan Sentra 2019 leased car from 10/19 to present. About 1 year during its lease (3 year), I noticed that the instrument clock freezes and the other clock on the radio panel/screen does not. I have contacted Nissan company and the dealership that I leased the auto from. No help at all. I have 6 different videos of this situation on my cell phone. The main reason I am contacting this federal agency is that the last time it happened (01/23), I the control instruments on the steering wheel did not function at all. I will admit I never tried to use the various controls when the clock froze in the past 2 years until by chance I did this past month. This may also involve even the car horn (all in the same area). Thus, all I have been asking is to have av control ( or whatever else) replaced. However, it is a safety problem if it also affects, controls on steering wheel area (cruise control, instrument panel , radio , horn etc. ) once car is turned off the system reboots and even thing works, it does not matter about the temperature, speed, time duration of travel, day or night. I know there have been problems with this model as stated on google. As one can see when the instrument displays are not working there can and will be problems including safety. Note: I have contacted Nissan customer service dept. After many calls, Nissan did send me an extended warranty for the electical. Problem is the company does not honor the warranty. So what good is any warranty if it is never honored!.

My daughter was driving her 2020 Nissan Sentra the other day and was trying to avoid hitting a dog that ran in front of her car she crashed into a park car. Our Nissan Sentra anti brakes did not stop the car nor make a noise before hitting that parked car. No warning from our car to prevent this head on collision. There is so much damage that our insurance has deemed it a total loss. By the grace of god daughter is physically fine but mentally she is not!! as a parent I felt comfortable with my daughter driving this car at first. I have witness the anti brakes work on our 2020 Nissan Sentra before, when we would get near an object the car would automatically stop! we are now out of a car and I'm still going to owe a balance to my finance company once the insurance pay whatever they're going to pay. This is so unfair and heartbreaking that this important feature on this car failed my daughter when she needed it the most. Why????????.

There was a warning sign for the front lights like something was blocking it or something I honestly don't know but I brought it to enterprise attention and they told me don't worry about it. Then later I was in a wreck my car made no warning sign nor did the air bags deploy.

Several hazard lights have come on and I've been told to reset it and tried but the lights stay on there are more than 5 on the main one that scares me is the malfunction warning light. The car used to warn me when you close to a vehicle or someone too close behind it does none of that anymore the steering wheel has also shifted. . . Please help!.

The pre collision system light kept turning on and off. Also alerting of a malfunction that the system was not working. This happened around Sep 7 2022. I took the car to a Nissan dealership on Sep 16 2022 and inspected. They found out that there was a problem with the system and according to them it was fix. I just want to bring this to your attention because doing some research some Nissan owners are having the same problem. In addition, I found out that none of the extended warranties dont cover any electrical system.
