Display on my vehicle keeps saying front radar obstruction although nothing is either on the road nor in front of my vehicle. This does this without warning at least 5-6 times while I'm driving on city streets, highway or just turning. At random the warning will show and the lights will come up on my driver panel then a few mins later it goes off.

Every time I am driving, the automatic emergency braking light illuminates at around 55mph and it stays lit constantly. The system automatically brakes when nothing is in front of my vehicle almost causing the person behind me to hit me. The cruise control will not allow me to set it after turning it on either.

The front radar is faulty and is causing issues with the front emergency braking (feb). There is a notification that says "feb unavailable: front radar obstruction". This is causing a regular distraction to the driver and also poses in a risk that the vehicle may automatically brake unexpectedly or not brake in an emergency situation.

Front collision sensor turns on even without any cars in front. The dealer said sometimes the rain affects the sensor but it still turns on even when it's not raining. Once it's the warning light is on, it never turns off. I'm concerned for my safety especially when the emergency brakes depends on the sensor. This happens whenever I drive on a city street. I've had this car since 12/8/19.

While driving a sensor light appears and reads obstruction unavailable and stays for several minutes before turning off this happens at least 5 to 6 times a week. Another problem im having is a knocking sound under driver feet while driving and turning I took it in to have it checked and the technician drove it heard the sound kept the car a whole day but said he couldn't find anything wrong but clearly there is a problem if he and I hear can hear the noise. When I picked the car up it still makes the same sound and I'm afraid while driving something may happen to the wheels. It sounds to me like this is a rotor problem. I've taken the car in twice regarding this same problem and it has not been fixed. Since purchasing this car it has been in service at least 10 times with different problems 3 times for brakes, one time for not being able to push brake to start two times for excessive wind noise from windows had front and back brakes replaced twice and now having to take it back to replace window seals and knocking noise that has not been fixed. Nissan really did a poor job building the particular car not even two years from purchase with several problems very unsatisfied customer

The front sensor on my 2018 nissan altima malfunctions, stating that there's a front radar obstruction at times. Other times, it falsely detects a vehicle too close in front of me when there's nothing actually in front of me on streets and on the freeway. It recently engaged the brakes while I was on a street when it falsely detected another vehicle too close in front of me. Luckily, no accident resulted.

Purchased nissan altima s 2018 , the aeb "automatic emergency breaking " does not function at any time, the computer will not establish a code for it not working either. It's either a faulty computer not establishing a code or the the aeb is faulty. Will not attempt to stop for a pedestrian crossing in the cross walks, will not apply more breaking pressure if I'm not applying enough. Have talked dealership in shelby, nc. Have talked to nissan corporate , both denie that anything is wrong,simply because the computer will not throw a code. The fact of the matter is "it will not operate" code or no code. This is a safety feature I wanted ,reason for picking the car out. Has people age their reflexes get slower on some individuals, and some people take their eyes off the road to make an adjustment to some other features as mirror adj. Cruise controls etc. Will not give me a car that the fearture works on. Exchanged cars on me after I took a test drive that the feature did work . Demanded it be fixed or first payment will not be made ,to come and get it if nissan will not fix car or replace car.
