I changed the Air Mass Flow sensor and it’s still showing the check engine light on my dash board and giving me the same code after replacing it brand new. My brakes sound horrible after replacing both sets of brakes, front and back. The Foward Collision Warning sensor did not respond in a timely matter, resulting in a minor fender bender.

Adaptive Cruise control and Forward Collision warning has failed. The cruise control will not engage. The Electronic braking system has malfunctioned and this has somehow disabled the cruise control on the vehicle. The car will still brake. I understand that this has been known issue with Nissan but they are not willing to repair it.

driving at maybe 10 -15 MPH in an empty parking lot about to park and car aggressively brakes for no reason. Completely startled and unsettled me its a good thing no one was behind me.

I have had two separate incidents 8 months apart. While driving in the city limits on both occurrences going about 45 MPH both times, without any notice or potential collision the aeb engaged, and a red flash came across my dashboard. The first time it was just me in the car with very little traffic around me, whereas with the most recent occurrence the traffic was heavier. I had my mother and 2 young children in the backseat, with a truck that looked like a f-150 not far behind me. I have been to the dealership that I bought the car from, and I have twice gotten the results that they are unable to duplicate the problem, so I guess it can't be rectified. Thankfully I have not had an accident, but driving the car in that condition raises the risk of a collision, and I'm done with that risk.
