A timely fix for this recall has no been issued.
Brake light switch is f as failing making my rear brake lights not glow
I bought this from a nissan dealer november 2018. A month after purchase a warning appeared on the dash stating "unavailable front radar obstruction" followed by the deactivated radar symbol that remains on the dash. I called the dealer to see if any recalls we're out for the collision warning sensor. They said no. I know that the nissan muranos have also had issues with this sensor. It started going off about once a day, now it deactivates nearly six or more times a day and I driving me crazy. When I looked into this issue with the murano, they mentioned that occasionally the "auto brake" feature would engage while driving after seeing this message and I am afraid my vehicle will do the same.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 nissan sentra. The contact stated that upon test driving the vehicle at 45 MPH, the front unavailable radar obstruction warning message illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact informed savannah toyota (11101 abercorn st, savannah, ga 31419) of the warning light and the vehicle remained in their possession for a few days. After the vehicle was inspected by grainger nissan (1550 chatham pkwy, savannah, ga 31408) the contact was informed that the front crash sensor was defective and needed to be replaced. The contact was given an estimate and the contact refused to pay for the repair of the vehicle. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 54,573.
Keyless ignition not starting after key fob battery has been changed and car battery changed, appeared to be okay then problem returned within a few days. Keyless ignition again not starting. The vehicle is currently stationary in my driveway.
Attempted to start vehicle in a parking lot and engine would not turn over. Electrically everything turned on but engine would not start. Had to attempt to start the car a few times before the engine would actually turn over. Purchased my car a few days ago from hertz car sales and this started happening more and more frequently every time I attempt to start the car. I read all the posts related to this type of 2018, and appears this is a common problem, looks like it should be recalled.
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
03/11/2020 I drove the 2018 nissan sentra on hwy 26 w to portland oregon. While driving the aeb sensor light turns on, malfunction from manufactory light on with the piping sound came on that was the effected the speed control by the braking. Next day 3/12/20. I drove to carr nissan dealer for repair aeb(automatic emergency brake) censor. The dealer said that my car has no warranty and charged for repair is $5,754.42 due on 03/18/2020. I think the nissan dealer was overcharged. I think this is safety issues and 2018 nissan sentra needs to recall the aeb sensor.on the hwy26 have my kid 16 years old and my wife in the car.
Every time the vehicle is driven on an interstate the aeb system errors causing the tcs and esp systems to shut down. Several warning lights illuminate and the vehicle must be restarted to clear the fault.
Random warning stating "front radar obstruction," essentially deactivating the automatic braking system for front end collision. Vehicle will brake quickly on its own without anything ahead in the road, which causes other vehicles to slam on their brakes to avoid collision
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
Purchased car new and one week into ownership had the front proximity sensor go bad, which disables vehicle safety systems including cruise control. After waiting a month on a back ordered part it was installed and the vehicle operated normally. 1 year later the sensor again was diagnosed as bad and one was ordered , the new part came in damaged and when reordering the part, it again went to back order. It has now been a month, and still no part. Nissan customer care was contacted and the "escalated" the complaint to a "regional level". All that has accomplished is an occasional phone call from the representative telling me that the part is not in and he hasn't even got a timeframe for it. Also that there are 1000 vehicles awaiting that part and mine is at the head of the pack. This is a safety sensitive part and they are not maintaining an adequate supply of replacement parts , and are returning vehicles to customers to drive while awaiting the replacement.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 nissan sentra. While driving at an unknown speed, the "unavailable front radar sensor" message was displayed.

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 37101150. The approximate failure mileage was 42,300.
I purchased my 2018 nissan sentra with 5 miles (basically brand new) the car currently has 10,000 miles and the vehicle is kept maintained. A few months after I purchased the nissan sentra I began having issues with my back up camera screen in which it began blacking out and flickering in and off. Since it had been raining in my town I assumed there was some sort of short or water must of leaked into the wiring system l, I took it to my local nissan dealer and they couldn't find any type of issue with the car so I left it at that I haven't had any issues with it gain however it hasn't rained either so I'm just waiting to see. After that occurred I began having issues with the front radar crash sensor. I get a warning ⚠️ signal on my dash constantly reading that I have a front radar obstruction which there is nothing blocking the sensor. Shortly after that my AC began blowing up streamlined hot air and went out one day. I've attempted to have it fixed and there's nothing they can find to fix the issues. I've had the car for a year about 10,000 miles and these issues have raised concern. The vehicle is under warranty and still these issues cannot be fixed
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.
Faulty radar in the automatic emergency braking system is causing a very dangerous malfunction in the car. The dealership has repeatedly tried to repair the problem, to no avail. This is causing the car to randomly stop in the middle of the highway and/or cause the auto emergency brake to simply not work.
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.
2018 nissan sentra 22k miles. Front radar warning malfunction light on. Dealer stated there is no fix from nissan at this time and we should continue driving the car until they call us back. Dealer stated it could be two days or two months. Owners manual states the car should not be operated and took to the dealer if this occurs. Local dealer refused to give a courtesy car until the repair could be made. This is a big safety concern for us as our son is driving the car to college daily. Dealer stated the car does not apply the brakes with this system, the video from nissan states otherwise. Car cannot be safe to drive this way.
