When car is turned on, and is on idle within 3 minutes it shuts off. When driving around town and stopped at light or slowly driving car will turn off. Engine will shake at times and refuse to go into drive and move as if it were put into neutral. Break lights are beginning to turn while in drive. Especially when turning car on, I have to bring the break clutch up and back down to turn off. however, the light will turn on again and beep while in drive. All the radio does is constantly shut down all the time and reset itself, or completely freeze. Collision light also turns on when stopped in light, or driving. I have to continuously turn the car off and wait until the car is safe to drive. Problems began when I first bought the car in 2019, and has continues until today. Many customers do complain about the same problems they have about the car.

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND THE FRONT COLLISION SENSOR KEPT GOING OFF. WE PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AT OUR DESTINATION AND PARKED. CLEARED FRONT CAMERAS SHUT ENGINE OFF, AND ALL WARNING MALFUNCTION INDICATORS KEPT LIGHTING UP. 1ST NO KEY DETECTED, THEN BRAKE WARNING, THEN HEAD LIGHT MALFUNCTION, THEN BRAKE, SEAT BELT, AND CHECK ENGINE WARNINGS ALL FLASHED AT SAME TIME. THEN AFTER SOMETIME PASSED BRAKES LOCKED UP, AND POWER TO ENTIRE CAR WAS GONE. NO LIGHTS NO NOTHING. TOWED CAR TO DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT, THEY HAD IT FOR 2 DAYS AND COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY HAD TO JUMP THE BATTERY TO GET IT STARTED, THEN HEAD LIGHT MALFUNCTION WAS SEEN ON SCREEN AGAIN. MECHANIC KEPT TRYING TO FIND OTHER ISSUES, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AND THE BATTERY WAS NOT FAILING. WHEN I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK AND TRIED TO START IT NO KEY INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. THEN PLACED KEY ON START BUTTON TO GET IT STARTED. THEY STILL HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THIS WAS. SAID IT WAS A FLUKE. I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A MAJOR PROBLEM DUE TO SENSORS, MALFUNCTIONING, SINCE THEY HAD BEEN REPLACED ONCE ALREADY, DUE TO MALFUNCTIONS. NOT SAFE IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THANKFULLY THE CAR WAS PARKED WHEN IT OCCURRED. I HAVE INCLUDED 2 PHOTOS SHOWN TO ED MARTIN NISSAN DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT, WHERE I TOWED THE CAR TO FOR DIAGNOSTIC. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE TO REPAIR.*DT CONSUMER STATED ENGINE WAS PARKED AT MY DESTINATION. WHEN SHE TRIED TO START THE CAR AS USUAL, PUSHING BOTH THE START BUTTON AND PRESSING THE BRAKE. BRAKES WOULD NOT COMPRESS. THEN THE WARNING LIGHT STARTED FLASHING.*JB

Official recalls
1Sep 12, 2019
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Nissan Altima, Armada, Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Titan Diesel, Versa Note and Versa Sedan vehicles, as well as Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80 vehicles. Additionally included are 2019 Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.
