FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS, BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING
Every time I get in my car a start to drive either forward of backing up my car dings and a message pops up ont the display that says "warning ⚠️ Malfunction" and shows the car crash button. I have not been in any accidents and it randomly started happening a few days ago. Now I worry that my car may not sensor any objects in my path or that it could trigger my automatic break to kick in creating an accident. I have also researched online and found others who have experienced the same thing but there is no open recall on my vehicle.

ENGINE
Ice deposits forming in the engine EGR valve preventing the EGR valve from properly functioning. This results in a "limp home mode" where the engine power output is severely reduced. Ice deposits physically verified by dealer. this condition routinely happens when parked outdoors in temps below 0F. When effected the car cannot reach highway speeds. Problem resolved by completely warming up the engine followed by an engine restart to clear the ECM error.

TIRES:TREAD/BELT, TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
Tire blew out suddenly while driving at 35mph on my way to work on a well-paved/well-lit road around 6:15AM on October 7th 2021. The sidewall completely separated. There were no warning signs or objects hit/run over that caused the blow out. No one else was on the road at the time and the vehicle was going at a low speed, so luckily no one was injured. I was able to pull into a parking lot to put on a spare tire. The tires were purchased with the car as new in 2019. They had very low mileage and balanced appropriately at the time. There were no extreme conditions (location was in Palm Beach, FL where vehicle had been since purchase). Tire size: 215 / 55 R 17 94 V

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I have Nissan Altima 2019 SR. It has an automatic front emergency brake system that brakes when the car is close enough to save from an accident to occur. But it did the opposite means it risked my life by braking in the middle of the road in traffic even if no cars are in front of me. I was saved a couple of times because there were no cars around me when it did that. But it seems very dangerous and risking life and other around my nissan car. I contacted customer service, they told me I have to pay for that repair. It is ridiculous. How to find justice on this issue? Is this a way these car companies make faulty systems and risk human lives? Do I deserve this? Please help me to solve this problem.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
The front radar distance sensor becomes blocked and unavailable while driving. This happens every time I drive the car. Several times the warning message came on and the car tried to briefly brake. I took my car into the Nissan dealership and they confirmed the sensor has failed and recommends replacement. This is a known issue with Several models of Nissan cars per NHTSA NTB19-033A. This has been happening in my car for about two weeks. I took it in to the dealership as soon as I could after noticing the problem. I believe my car was built at the end of 2018 and has this faulty sensor reference in NHTSA NTB19-033A or clearly they have not rectified the problem fully. I think 2019 vehicles should be added to the recall.

My back doors do not lock with the FOB. I have to manually unlock and lock my rear doors. My driver side door is starting to not work as well. This is a major safety issue that Nissan seems to not care about. My car only has 35,000 miles on it.
