Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My car has a front emergency braking system. This system is located at the front of the car, in lower grille. The sensor detects when a vehicle in front of you has stopped. As you get closer to the vehicle, if you do not stop, the car will sound a 3-beep alert notifying you to stop. If you still do not stop, the car will apply the brakes and force the car to stop to prevent an accident., I was driving home, when the 3-beep alert sounded, and the dashboard display started flashing red and white lights. A message on the display stated that a crash was imminent. …”

“My car has a front emergency braking system. The sensor for this system is located at the front of the car, underneath one of the head lights. The sensor detects when a vehicle in front of you has stopped. As you get closer to the vehicle, if you do not stop, the car will sound a 3-beep alert notifying you to stop. If you still do not stop, the car will apply the brakes and force the car to stop to prevent an accident. One night, I was driving home on a city street, when the 3-beep alert sounded, and the dashboard display started flashing red and white lights. …”

“The car was in motion and all of the sudden shut off while driving and lost ability to stop, steer, and restart. When car came to a stop I tried to start the car and it stall. Car was full of gas and all fluid levels are fine. The car has 20k miles so no mechanical problems exist. This happened in las vegas while the outside temperature was 108. I saw the same issue with other Nissan cars in las vegas per youtube videos. Please help! I am afraid it may do so again and cause an accident. This happened today and after leaving the car parked for 2 hours started working fine.”

“My automatic braking system and cruise control disables itself. Component from bosch. The flaw in the radar unit allows the sensor to frequently deactivate itself, disabling cruise control and emergency braking. When the sensor turns itself off, drivers are seeing a warning in the dash that says, 'front radar unavailable due to obstruction.' this happens multiple times in a given day.”

NHTSA complaint #11242704, filed 2019-08, 31,789 miles

“The forward emergency braking is getting false triggers and disables itself after such incident. Many times triggers without anything in front of vehicle. Has also applied brakes on one occasion when there was no vehicle or pedestrian in front of vehicle. The feb sensor was updated in 2019 with a new part that does not send false triggers. This is a common problem with muranos from 2015-2018. This safety feature is one of the reasons we bought this car and now that feature is not reliable. …”
