The Automatic Emergency Braking System continuously brakes and slows the car down when driving. One particular incident happened on 6/15/2021 when I was travelling at 45MPH and there we cars behind me. The system beeped as if it detected a crash and then stop the car. There were no other cars in front on me and I almost got into an accident because of the sudden braking. There were no warning lamps, messages, or anything else that would prompt the vehicle to immediately break. It has done this 3 more times in the last two weeks and its hazardous to me and other drivers on the road. Now every time I put my vehicle in drive it says AEB malfunction and the vehicle no longer detects forward collisions or any passengers. I haven't taken the vehicle to the dealership yet; however, I had an oil change and when the dealer inspected my vehicle they said everything was in good shape. I'm not sure how this was missed.
2019 Nissan Altima driver assistance complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 54 of 54, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Altima. The contact stated while driving at 70 mph, the vehicle lane sensor activated on its own and pulled the vehicle towards the right lane where the driver was going towards the oncoming vehicle. The driver was able to force the vehicle back to the center lane and continue to drive to their destination, however, the failure reoccurred multiple times. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer who inspected the vehicle and turned off sensor from car the lane sensor electronic feature from the vehicle. We have no lane sensor to use. The manufacture was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 11,000.
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.
While driving straight over the upper roadway gw bridge, my automatic brakes engaged with no objects in front of my car. This caused my front brakes to lock which caused me to drift left into the left lane, at which point I was almost crushed by a speeding 18-wheel truck.
I was driving on a slightly damp road in the evening (dark). A warning flashed on my dashboard saying that their was obstruction in the road. Suddenly my braking assistance activated causing my car to come to a complete stop. I checked my surroundings, nothing was in the road, beside me, or behind me. Nissan has not claim responsibility for this sensor error. Instead told me that there were damages to my bumper, which was hard to believe. I was recommended to contact my insurance company. An appraiser found no damages to my car or bumper. Case has been dismissed by insurance company.

The vehicle was taken to nissan of greenville located at 2712 laurens rd, greenville, sc 29607 where the mechanic reprogrammed the automatic emergency braking system.

I am having an issue while driving that my car is saying my front sensor in blocked causing my car to randomly automatic break while no other cars are around me. I took my car to nissan in cherry hill, nj where I bought the car eight months ago. They told me that the sensor was bent and my car was hit or in an accident. Let me specify that I was not in an accident, and my car was not hit by another car. There are no marks on the front of my car that would give them reason to say my car was in an accident. I take my car to get serviced at a non- nissan dealership. Nissan of cherry hill is trying to blame that company for the "damage" that never happened.
Tl* the contact owns a 2019 nissan altima. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds the collision avoidance system would randomly activate and reduce the vehicle's speed. The failure occurred although no objects were present nearby. The cause of the failures were not determined. In addition, while driving approximately 35 MPH and pressing the brake pedal the vehicle slowed before the braking system malfunctioned causing the vehicle not to stop and crashed into the rear of a truck. No injuries were reported and no police was called to the scene. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 16,000.
The emergency breaking system has engaged multiple times when there was nothing in front of the vehicle. The vehicle was in motion around a curve when the breaking system engaged and brought my car to a stop. If there was anyone behind me I would have been hit.
My vehicle was in motion on a city street. I went to make a turn because of a curve and my steering wheel and brake would not work. My emergency brake system (which is suppose to stop my vehicle before impact, did not deploy. I ran straight into a stone wall and fence. I received a recall letter in the mail about the back sensor, but my sensors were working up until my accident. My vehicle was deemed totalled. It was not raining, I was not speeding, and when the police came out to do an investigation, they could only determine that it was a mechanical problem. Why did the sensor not work? Why didn't my cars emergency brake system not work? Now I'm having to get a new vehicle without even knowing why the safety systems put in place did not deploy. Thank god my son was not in the car and no one else was injured.
Adaptive cruise control and automatic braking are disabled due to "front radar blocked". This is a brand new vehicle I have had for about two weeks (less than 1,000 miles). After doing some internet research, this appears to be a known issue with nissan vehicles since 2018. I believe my vehicle was manufactured in late 2018. The issue was first noticed while driving with the cruise control engaged and I kept getting closer to the vehicle ahead of me without my vehicle automatically slowing down (I.e., the car maintained the cruise control set speed.) after manually braking and resetting the cruise control, the cruise control would eventually shut off and the attached message would be displayed. Prior to the issue being observed (approx. First 500 miles driven), the adaptive cruise control and automatic braking worked fine.
I own a 2019 nissan altima awd and have experienced a few problems. The most significant problem is the defective forward collision safety feature. Two times the vehicle has improperly and abruptly applied brakes, the feature is intended to avoid collision, but instead its malfunction is creating road hazards. I contacted nissan consumer affairs and they have evaded me and everytime I call they say you have been assigned a case and someone will call you soon. I attempted to service the vehicle two times this week at two different nissan dealerships. One turned me away stating it's a known problem and nissan does not have a fix yet. The second nissan dealership was in the process of issuing me an alternate vehicle when they received a call from the same folks who won't return my call nissan consumer affairs instructing the dealer not perform any service or a loaner. This is so outrageous, but I actually have it in writing to prove the level of negligence and ill service to force a customer to stay in a vehicle that they don't feel safe in. None the less their failure to do their due diligence. The safety feature malfunctioned on the highway once and the next time on a incline ramp in mall parking garage to a forceful hard stop. I have spoken with 3 general managers and 3 different consumer affairs call center reps, but yet no service or call back from nissan north america. Negligent negligence negligent. Nissan is not what it used to be. Stay far away and tell everyone you know to stay far away. I am the owner of a model year vehicle with full warranty and this is how they are treating me. What would you get?
