Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“After 8 months of driving my car brand new I started experiencing multiple intermittent malfunctions in the dash board & infotainment system. I have documentation of DTC codes current in my ECU. These codes each dealership refused to find and instead replaced my car battery, wiping the codes & replacing my infotainment system after it completely failed. After repeated repair attempts each dealership failed to successfully repair under warranty & told me to drive the car as normal when these malfunctions continued. …”
NHTSA complaint #11719365, filed 2026-02“The Malfunction symbol/ABS light comes on once a week & will not allow me to crank my car and i have to jump it off to get it back started. My car is bought from a rental car agency Jan 2025 who provided me the receipts that the car was taken care of properly. Within the first week of purchase, the vehicle would not start & the malfunction and/or ABS symbol would appear and happens once a week since i purchased the vehicle January 2025. According to Google, this UNWANTED ABS or malfunction warning is very COMMON in the Nissan Sentra. …”
NHTSA complaint #11654288, filed 2025-04“I have noticed that there was false alarms coming out of the Forward Collision Warning system and the Automatic Rear Parking Warning system. When I was driving down a road, there was a person walking on the sidewalk not near the actual road itself. My car thought that I was going to hit that person and sounded the warning. For the rear, when I was reversing out of my driveway, the rear parking warning sounded and the automatic breaking came into effect. The car thought i was going to hit the ground, although I had enough clearance. …”

NHTSA complaint #11539950, filed 2023-08“I bought this 2023 Nissan Sentra S on March 3 2023 and it has approximately 23k miles now. During these 10 months, Nissan replaced the axis on the vehicle under their waranty and the clicking sounds still exists after it getting fixed twice. There is also an occassional malfunctioning of the Forward Emergency Brake (the off light blinks with a ! sign). Nissan was unable to replicate the Forward Emergency Brake issue. A new car made last year should not be having this many issues and we are requesting an investigation into Nissan and their practices. …”
