“Back camera and front one does not work, in august when the weather went to 122 degrees camara went blue, the I went took it on the second wee of 10/16/2020. Torre Nissan kept the car for 5 days and then gave it back to me saying the engeeniers have found no solution for the car part. The back camera sometimes works but sometimes it does not. But I can not see the front of the back cars. I can crash against them.”
NHTSA complaint #11365390, filed 2020-10, 4,000 miles“Purchased car in october 2020. Car started braking involuntary while driving 10-25 MPH. No objects were in front of the car. This has happened 4 times. This happened on my last vehicle and Nissan had a major recall to change the sensors/camera. At this time there is no fix. I have taken my car in 5 times regarding the 4 times it has braked involuntarily. I am over it. The A/C also blew hot air due to too much freon. My battery died less than 90 days from purchase. This car has been a nightmare!! I live in miami and traffic is bad. …”
NHTSA complaint #11389289, filed 2021-01, 1,500 miles“On the morning of december 6, 2020. I left my parking lot and proceeded up warwick ave, towards franklin st and I slowed to go over a bump , when I went over the bump as I have many times , my steering wheel shifted to the right , sending me into a parked car and even though I tried to turn my wheel my car wouldn't go left. When I got out of my car to look I noticed a clean break on my inner outer tie rods which is weird because this is a 2020 car and I just got it in march 2020. I need help because I cannot afford to get this fixed.”

This has occurred about 4 or 5 times since I got the car in april 2020. It has happened on a major highway, sometimes in an urban area. The dealer takes it on a test drive, and proclaims no trouble found . This happened at 45 MPH and less than 30. Time of day doesn't seem to matter, nor does weather. Last time this happened was about 2 or 3 june.”
