“My car has been dying intermittently for the past few months while stationary. Today my vehicle shut off while I was driving home on a residential street, traveling approximately 35 miles per hour, causing the steering to lock up and my vehicle to abruptly stop. All the indicator lights shut off as well. Another vehicle had to swerve into the other lane to avoid rear ending me.”

NHTSA complaint #11286911, filed 2019-12, 22,000 miles“Trouble with the electronics from new. Occasionally when I hang up the phone on bluetooth, the radio volume is full blast. It does adjust the volume after a couple seconds. Then the aeb was engaging when there were no obstacles, not going up a ramp, nothing. This occurred at lower speeds, three times in a parking deck and once in a parking lot. So I mentioned it and the 'advisory' card I received from Nissan when I brought it in for the 15k oil change. The dealer told me they did a sw upgrade and all was well. …”
NHTSA complaint #11220499, filed 2019-06, 12,000 miles“October 3, 2018 I went to a local mall. On my way out of the parking lot lights started blinking on my dash and the automatic emergency braking system engaged unexpectedly when there was no other car near my car either in front or on either side. The vehicle was moving steadily about 25 to 30 MPH on the road before you get to rte 100/422 bypass. There was no reason for this incident to occur since there was no other car nearby, no debris on the road, and nothing adhering to the front of the car near the sensor. …”
NHTSA complaint #11133402, filed 2018-10, 4,007 miles“While turning on an off ramp the steering gave out and locked, causing the car to drive directly into the guard rail. Yes the car was moving but stealthily as I slowed down to make the turn. The car was thrown from the left guard rail to the right side causing extensive damage and no airbag deployed in the event of this crash. The car was no longer able to move from such a drastic accident and yet it was not enough for the airbags to even attempt to save our lives. There were kids in the car! Thank the heavens we were able to get out of the wreck alive. …”
