2019 Nissan Sentra

This warning light has been present since I test drove this car in March 2023. The dealership stated if I purchased the vehicle they would fix the issue before I took delivery after purchasing the vehicle in March 2023 the warring light came on several times within hours of picking up the vehicle. I took the vehicle back to the dealer at least twice within a week or so to have them fix the issue, finally the service department at McGee took the car to Mastria Nissan. Mastria is a certified Nissan dealer. Mastria fixed the issue by re-calibrating the sensor in the front bumper that governs the Automatic Braking System (AEB). This sensor also controls the cruise control system as well. Mastria Nissan fixed the sensor on or around May 12, 2023. It is now September 2023 and this same sensor, same warning light and same error code is coming on continuously every time I drive the vehicle. That is less than 4 months of driving. I have checked around the sensor. There are no obstructions around the sensor. There is no dirt or corrosion around the sensor and it is extremely affixed to its mounting bracket. There is no logical reason for this sensor to be failing within less than 4 months of driving. This is a poor and shoddy design malfunction on Nissan’s part. This defective equipment installed on my 2019 Nissan Sentra is a serious safety concern. If this sensor stops working or malfunctions while driving, this could cause a loss of control while on the road. As this sensor governs the AED system this could cause a loss of control while on the road or worse. I could end up driving off the road uncontrolled. It could also result in a collision with another vehicle on the road. This safety issue needs to be fixed by Nissan.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
