Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11235256, filed 2019-07, 700 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11387480, filed 2021-01, 38,500 miles“I've had my vehicle for 1 month and on at least 10 different occasions my aeb system has locked my brakes up on me for no reason. Each time I've been driving straight and it's been in my work parking garage when no other vehicles or people are in motion around me. Although I've been lucky so far and it hasn't caused me to be rear ended I still see the potential for that happening if this continues and is not fixed.”
NHTSA complaint #11265454, filed 2019-10, 2,500 miles“Back in the july I got into a rear end collision, the emergency braking should have kicked in but it did not. Since then, the emergency braking has applied multiple times in the open by itself with no cars ahead or in view. It makes me very nervous to drive this. It has happened both on city streets and the highway. I tried telling the Nissan dealership and they have no knowledge and are not willing to work with me for failure and damages.”
NHTSA complaint #11270880, filed 2019-10, 2,700 miles“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. …”
