VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN SPRAYING WATER ON THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE WINDSHIELD WASHER SPRAYERS, IT ONLY SPRAYS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD AND DOES NOT COVER THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD. YOU HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY SPRAY WATER SO THE WIPERS CAN SPREAD THE WATER ON THE WINDSHIELD. BUT DOING THIS DOES NOT ALWAYS MAKE THE WINDSHIELD CLEAN. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. THE WATER SPRAYS ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HOOD AND THEN ONTO THE WINDSHIELD. THE DEALER HAS NOT YET BEEN ADVISED OF THIS ISSUE. THE WAY THE WASHER SPRAYERS ARE MOUNTED, I DOUBT THAT THE PROBLEM CAN BE EASILY FIXED.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. I WENT TO MAKE A TURN BECAUSE OF A CURVE AND MY STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE WOULD NOT WORK. MY EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM (WHICH IS SUPPOSE TO STOP MY VEHICLE BEFORE IMPACT, DID NOT DEPLOY. I RAN STRAIGHT INTO A STONE WALL AND FENCE. I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER IN THE MAIL ABOUT THE BACK SENSOR, BUT MY SENSORS WERE WORKING UP UNTIL MY ACCIDENT. MY VEHICLE WAS DEEMED TOTALLED. IT WAS NOT RAINING, I WAS NOT SPEEDING, AND WHEN THE POLICE CAME OUT TO DO AN INVESTIGATION, THEY COULD ONLY DETERMINE THAT IT WAS A MECHANICAL PROBLEM. WHY DID THE SENSOR NOT WORK? WHY DIDN'T MY CARS EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM NOT WORK? NOW I'M HAVING TO GET A NEW VEHICLE WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING WHY THE SAFETY SYSTEMS PUT IN PLACE DID NOT DEPLOY. THANK GOD MY SON WAS NOT IN THE CAR AND NO ONE ELSE WAS INJURED.

SERVICE BRAKES
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM HAS SERIOUS ISSUES THAT NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT BUT CAN'T FIX. WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH COME ON AT RANDOM TIMES, BOTH SOLIDLY OUT AND FLASHING, AND EVEN WORSE, AT TIMES WITH NO OTHER CARS ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE DECIDES TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES. VERY DANGEROUS. ALL THE DEALER CAN SAY IS WE CHECKED THE CAR AND NO CODES WERE FOUND, YET THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND TWO CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS. SAME THING HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. DIFFERENT SYSTEM IN THE CAR BUT SAME RESULT - CAR BRAKES FOR NO REASON - NOTHING BEHIND ME, NO OBSTRUCTIONS. NOT QUITE AS SERIOUS AS THE FRONT EMERGENCY BRAKES NOT WORKING BUT STILL AN ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BUT I ENTERED TODAY'S DATE AS TODAY WAS THE LATEST OCCURRENCE.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BACK IN THE JULY I GOT INTO A REAR END COLLISION, THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SHOULD HAVE KICKED IN BUT IT DID NOT. SINCE THEN, THE EMERGENCY BRAKING HAS APPLIED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE OPEN BY ITSELF WITH NO CARS AHEAD OR IN VIEW. IT MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS TO DRIVE THIS. IT HAS HAPPENED BOTH ON CITY STREETS AND THE HIGHWAY. I TRIED TELLING THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE AND ARE NOT WILLING TO WORK WITH ME FOR FAILURE AND DAMAGES.

SERVICE BRAKES
I'VE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 1 MONTH AND ON AT LEAST 10 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS MY AEB SYSTEM HAS LOCKED MY BRAKES UP ON ME FOR NO REASON. EACH TIME I'VE BEEN DRIVING STRAIGHT AND IT'S BEEN IN MY WORK PARKING GARAGE WHEN NO OTHER VEHICLES OR PEOPLE ARE IN MOTION AROUND ME. ALTHOUGH I'VE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR AND IT HASN'T CAUSED ME TO BE REAR ENDED I STILL SEE THE POTENTIAL FOR THAT HAPPENING IF THIS CONTINUES AND IS NOT FIXED.

AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB) FUNCTION FAILED AT A RED LIGHT. AEB HAD BEEN SET IN A 3-VEHICLE DISTANCE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND AUTOMATIC BRAKING ARE DISABLED DUE TO "FRONT RADAR BLOCKED". THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE I HAVE HAD FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS (LESS THAN 1,000 MILES). AFTER DOING SOME INTERNET RESEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN VEHICLES SINCE 2018. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN LATE 2018. THE ISSUE WAS FIRST NOTICED WHILE DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AND I KEPT GETTING CLOSER TO THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME WITHOUT MY VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY SLOWING DOWN (I.E., THE CAR MAINTAINED THE CRUISE CONTROL SET SPEED.) AFTER MANUALLY BRAKING AND RESETTING THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD EVENTUALLY SHUT OFF AND THE ATTACHED MESSAGE WOULD BE DISPLAYED. PRIOR TO THE ISSUE BEING OBSERVED (APPROX. FIRST 500 MILES DRIVEN), THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND AUTOMATIC BRAKING WORKED FINE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I OWN A 2019 NISSAN ALTIMA AWD AND HAVE EXPERIENCED A FEW PROBLEMS. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM IS THE DEFECTIVE FORWARD COLLISION SAFETY FEATURE. TWO TIMES THE VEHICLE HAS IMPROPERLY AND ABRUPTLY APPLIED BRAKES, THE FEATURE IS INTENDED TO AVOID COLLISION, BUT INSTEAD ITS MALFUNCTION IS CREATING ROAD HAZARDS. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY HAVE EVADED ME AND EVERYTIME I CALL THEY SAY YOU HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED A CASE AND SOMEONE WILL CALL YOU SOON. I ATTEMPTED TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE TWO TIMES THIS WEEK AT TWO DIFFERENT NISSAN DEALERSHIPS. ONE TURNED ME AWAY STATING IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM AND NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE A FIX YET. THE SECOND NISSAN DEALERSHIP WAS IN THE PROCESS OF ISSUING ME AN ALTERNATE VEHICLE WHEN THEY RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE SAME FOLKS WHO WON'T RETURN MY CALL NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS INSTRUCTING THE DEALER NOT PERFORM ANY SERVICE OR A LOANER. THIS IS SO OUTRAGEOUS, BUT I ACTUALLY HAVE IT IN WRITING TO PROVE THE LEVEL OF NEGLIGENCE AND ILL SERVICE TO FORCE A CUSTOMER TO STAY IN A VEHICLE THAT THEY DON'T FEEL SAFE IN. NONE THE LESS THEIR FAILURE TO DO THEIR DUE DILIGENCE. THE SAFETY FEATURE MALFUNCTIONED ON THE HIGHWAY ONCE AND THE NEXT TIME ON A INCLINE RAMP IN MALL PARKING GARAGE TO A FORCEFUL HARD STOP. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH 3 GENERAL MANAGERS AND 3 DIFFERENT CONSUMER AFFAIRS CALL CENTER REPS, BUT YET NO SERVICE OR CALL BACK FROM NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. NEGLIGENT NEGLIGENCE NEGLIGENT. NISSAN IS NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE. STAY FAR AWAY AND TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO STAY FAR AWAY. I AM THE OWNER OF A MODEL YEAR VEHICLE WITH FULL WARRANTY AND THIS IS HOW THEY ARE TREATING ME. WHAT WOULD YOU GET?
