Brake light switch is f as failing making my rear brake lights not glow
When I bought the car my front collision sensor light was on I had to take it to the dealership and I was told it was affected now there is an active recall on my vehicle and it's affecting my brakes my lighting and my speed control because I can't break and they have not sent me a recall or send any information to me I found this out on my carfax report
There was a recall due to fluid build up that can cause loss of the brakes in the car I just bought from carvana. Thank god I researched the VIN because it wasn't disclosed to me from carvana. I could have died in an accident if I never would have did a VIN search so see if any recalls ever happened. How can I get this fixed immediately?
My 2018 nissan sentra is having a problem with the (aeb) automatic braking system. I've had the car for 10 months and while im driving, I get a warning light indicating that the aeb has malfunctioned, followed by a constant beeping noise that doesnt go away unless I turn the vehicle off. The loud beep will keep going for as long as im driving, and the vehicle sometimes brakes on its own, which is scary, and dangerous. Everyday that I drive the vehicle, the light comes on automatically while im driving, followed by the annoying beep, theres not one day it doesn't happen, as far as the braking goes, that happens depending on the position of the vehicle and other vehicles. Sometimes objects will make my vehicle brake, or sometimes it'll brake for no reason, just a slight brake.

Ebs malfunction warning light comes on. Every day. When car is in motion.
Over 2 1/2 years of ownership of the vehicle, I've taken the car in for service 6 times for the same problem: the break switch has failed to allow the push-button starter to engage, which leaves me unable to star the car. The issue effectively leaves me stranded and has resulted in making me late. It only happeneds when starting the car so it's stationary.
Car pulls to right on the express way making very loud funny noises , RPM shoots to 2 to 5 and the steering wheel has locked a few times taking me off of the road but not crashing or into a accident , the brakes are also sounding bad. On streets the cars steering drifts like the car wants to do its own thing .
My car is still under warranty and I have had to take in in to the dealership 3 times because the aeb sensor light comes on. They have replaced it all three times and I bring it home and once I start driving on the freeway, the sensor comes on again. As I'm driving, the vehicle slows down even though I'm pressing on the gas. I have to let my foot off the gas and then press the gas pedal hard to kick it back into running correctly. I have a 2018 nissan sentra and it has 30,000 miles. The warranty expires at 36,000 miles and I'm afraid that I will have to take it in and pay for the repairs if they can't figure out what's wrong. I've owned sentras before and never had this much problem!
Vehicle's automatic emergency braking (aeb) system malfunctions and applies vehicle brakes in random instances. This poses a safety hazard as the vehicle could brake suddenly when in traffic and cause a crash.
As I was driving down a street preparing to get on the freeway the malfunction and collision sign popped up in the dash board..after so long a continuous ding sound can be heard. Pulled over turned the car off car wouldn't start. Had to tap the brakes several times before the car would even start..only have 30,000 miles and I just got this car in april and already having issue..
My 2018 nissan sentra has issues with not starting and the brake sensor failing and coming on with nothing around. The back up camera goes out and the radio and temperature control lights go out. There are several ongoing dangerous issues with the vehicle I have contacted nissan consumer affairs, corp and managers at sutherlin nissan to no avail.*dt*jb*dt
Everytime I drive in the rain or snow or any wet conditions my front sensor for the brakes says sensor undetected error message and also my brakes look brand new and they squeak
Forward collision sensor causing vehicle to brake when nothing is front of me while I drive. It has happened on 5 different occasions at different speeds. Nissan dealership stated that nissan is aware of issues but is charging me $1300 to fix because it is out of warranty
2018 nissan sentra radar module or called nissan sensor assys-distance was a malfunction and affect on the brake while driving on the freeway of the highway.
Front radar unavailable due to obstruction flashed on the dashboard while in motion.
I was driving my vehicle about 30 MPH, before I even approached another vehicle my sensors began beeping quicker as if I were about to hit another car. No vehicle near me close enough for sensor to begin alerting me. As I tried to slow down , they began beeping very fast and I was unable to stop, I went around a car that was sitting at the stop sign to avoid rear ending them, and still rear ended a parked car. Police were on the scene and witnessed the accident. My car was totaled due to a malfunction
Malfunctioning icc radar sensor malfunctioning. I'm receiving a warning message "front radar obstruction". Dealer refuses to fix because my mileage is too high
On 12/16/19 I reported an issue with the automatic brake system warning it's unavailable. I've had the vehicle in 3 times to fix the issue at metro nissan in montclair california. They can't fix the problem and know about it from other vehicles. They have now chosen to blame me for the issue. This dealership is the worst possible. Nissan is well aware of the issue and doesn't have a fix. The sensor has been replaced, the sensor has been calibrated, etc. Problem is the system is going to cause an accident and possibly more. Nissan wake up and fix this problem for many of your car owners. Buy the cars back if you don't know how to fix it. Keep our safety priority #1. I've only had the car 3 weeks and it's been at metro nissan the majority of the time and still broken. Since the dealer can not fix the problem I'm contacting nissan corp directly. Lousy dealership. Stay away from them.
Automatic emergency braking system sensor frequently lights up with a warning radar unavailable while driving on the highway and local streets. I just got this car and after one day I had to take it back to the dealer. First they said they would replace the sensor. After four days in the shop they said they cleaned the sensor and cleared the codes. They also calibrated the sensor. The next day it happened again twice. I have an appointment to take it back to the dealer in two days. In reading the federal safety agency website there are many reports of this problem with this year and model car, with the forward collision avoidance system. Many owners have reported this issue. Nissan has failed to issue a recall or fix the problem. These cars are lemons. The failure can cause an accident or something a lot more serious. Action needs to be taken.
Emergency breaking system sensor seems to say there is something obstructing front car its faulty/bad sensor just purchased vehicle.
I bought a 2018 nissan sentry in november of 2018. In the past month the brand new car has not been starting. It has been leaving me stranded at work and at the store. I keep taking it to the dealer ship and they replace the brake switch and battery. However the car is still not starting on me. The dealership replace the brake switch again but now they are waiting for another part. This is very frustrating because it's a new car and to me everything in the car should be new.

Automatic emergency braking broken with sensor & radar problems. The sensor frequently deactivate itself, disabling cruise control and the emergency braking system. A warning flashes on the dashboard to indicate the problem: 'front radar unavailable due to obstruction.'
Every time the car is driven, the aeb warning light comes on and it beeps saying that there's an obstruction. It happens all the time and there is no obstruction present. It happens while driving and when stopped.
I was in the parking lot stationary, attempting to leave the store, and my vehicle would not start due to the brake sensor malfunctioning. I drive a 2018 nissan sentra and it is push start. At the time it was mid day and the weather was about 102. My eight month and a half pregnant girlfriend had to wait in the parking lot for approximately 20 minutes in the heat until the vehicle started to work again. After one google search I was able to find out that this issue is quite frequent and needs to be addressed. This is happened on four separate occasions prior to this and all of them happened between 21,500 and 23,500 miles. This isunacceptable for a one-year-old vehicle and could've LED to something way more dangerous in the event we had our newborn child with us.
2018 nissan sentra safety system malfunction. Automatic emergency braking system not working with error displayed 'front radar unavailable due to obstruction.'. Also, cruise control would become inoperable when error code apeared on instrument screen. Vehicle rented from dollar rent a car location honolulu, hi airport. Notified rental location with response of "vehicle is fine". Notified dollar corporate and received no response. Dollar is knowingly renting vehicles with inoperable safety systems to consumer.
Car has 14,000 miles on it and is under warranty. The front radar camera is constantly acting like the car is in a wreck and it lights up the dash with various crash emblems.. I took it to the local nissan dealership and they put in a new radar camera and it continues to do the same exact thing 2 days after being in the dealership for 7 full days...nissan cant fix this radar crash sensor.... This happens after you crank the car and you go roughly a hundred yards.
Front radar system turns off and then resets for no apparent reason. Dash message is 'front radar unavailable due to obstruction'. It is tied into the automatic emergency braking system and intelligent cruise control. Happens when vehicle is in motion on varied roadways. There is no obstruction. *dt consumer stated he is cancelling request.
Within one week of driving the vehicle it stalled as I enter onto the highway. The vehicle also feels as if it's out of balance and shakes at speed of 65 to 70 MPH. And the forward emergency braking system warning light display/ unavailable front radar obstruction warning light also display at any given time. As you can see by just a few of the many photos below it is happening any given day at any given time even at zero speed
