Example complaints

“For a few months, whenever I drive on the freeway, typically for more than 30 min, the sensor with the two cars colliding turns on with a beep sound. It turns off after I turn off the car but will turn on after driving for more on the freeway. I've been driving with turns or hills and could be a part of it but I'm not sure. After 3 years of having the car, it started doing that. The ABS was already changed as part of a recall and I don't have any other recalls on my vehicle. I see that another person has reported this issue at the following link. …”
NHTSA complaint #11387943, filed 2021-01, 30 miles“The front radar sensor deactivates on many different occasions no matter what the weather is. It states that it is unavailable due to radar obstruction but there is nothing blocking the radar. The aeb will automatically engage without warning for no reason. This has happened several times, once while I was on a highway. I took the car in the first in march 2019. Today when I took the car in I was told by service personnel that he could not guarantee that it won't happen again, and he hates to see what happens this winter.”

I have shared this with the dealer 2x - the response is that this isn't covered - even under my Nissan Certified extended warranty purchase”
NHTSA complaint #11477584, filed 2022-08“The emergency braking system warning light came on while I was stopped in rush hour traffic. No collision. Light is coming on every time I drive the car. Fear of the system automatically stopping my vehicle while driving without cause. The dealership refused to test the sensors without me paying for the service. This first started showing up on 8/28/2023. The front sensors warning stating front sensor obstructed system is unavailable has been coming on for no reason at random. Dealership refuses to test sensors without me paying for test. This has been happening for some time.”
