Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Front impact warning light comes on and affects the cruise control and tries to stop without anything in front of car. This car only has 4200 miles and has been in shop 5 fives for the same thing and all Nissan dealership does is clear code, adjust sensors and/or calibrate sensors but never changes out sensors. There is already several class action lawsuits with Nissan on front sensor and this malfunction. This is clearly a hazard driving the car and is a safety issue to drive since this car can try to stop when nothing is in front of car.”
NHTSA complaint #11383967, filed 2020-12, 4,200 miles“While I was driving, I pressed the brake pedal. As soon as I applied the brakes, the vehicle abruptly screeched to a halt in a manner that felt abnormal and uncontrollable. Immediately after this sudden stop, the vehicle lost stability. It slid sideways, causing it to rotate and end up facing in a different direction than the one I had been traveling.”
NHTSA complaint #11704519, filed 2025-12“The emergency collision light came on my vehicle, then traction light, car stalled and wouldn't accelerate. This issue put me at risk to be rear ended at 55 mph. Took it to the dealer and was diagnosed as the Mass Air flow Sensor. I've read about 100 articles of other owners experiencing this repetitively.”
NHTSA complaint #11653825, filed 2025-04“I keep getting the p0101 code for the MAF sensor and I’ve replaced it 2 times with OEM ones and I still get that code later on. I’ve cleaned the throttle body and replaced the air filter with an OEM one and that light with also the “wet road” and “forward collision” light keep popping up. Stalling has also occurred multiple times while in park or at a stop light and rough idle when ever not in movement.”
NHTSA complaint #11678136, filed 2025-08“The front collision sensor activated three times when I drove in highway. The car ran very show and its a danger situation that will cause an accident.. I vist two times the dealer Ramar at Humacao, Puerto Rico and they dont do anything because the sensor reset when the vehicule shutdown.”
