“I have a 2017 Nissan Altima and the ABS light comes on and off. I reported the issue to Nissan but I was told that because my car was not listed in the campaign there was nothing that they could do.”
NHTSA complaint #11330584, filed 2020-06, 90,000 miles“My 2017 Nissan Altima that currently has 35,000 simply lost all power. I couldn't use the fob key to open the door, there were no lights, no radio, nothing. Because it is still under manufacturer warranty, I had it towed to the dealership and left it with them for two days for them to figure out what's wrong. They weren't able to specifically identify what was wrong. The car eventually started once they hooked it up to the diagnostic computer. The lights came on and the car alarm was activated. The mechanics were totally dumbfounded by the events. …”
NHTSA complaint #11204186, filed 2019-04, 35,000 miles“The front emergency braking (feb) warning light comes on and off randomly while driving. The warning states, front radar unavailable due to obstruction . This has occurred while driving on city streets, short and long distance driving, as well as on the highway and while turning. This was especially concerning when it happened while making a turn. The warning went off in the middle of making a turn and it was disorienting as it was completely unexpected.. This warning now goes off randomly on a daily basis and I just bought the car 2 weeks ago.”
