SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The vehicle constantly shuts off when idle or at times when in motion. The automatic emergency braking (AEB) system warning light turns on as well as the slip indicator. When it finally turns back on after placing it in park and stepping on the brake, the engine barely accelerates. The RPMs drop and then surges to compensate about every 30 seconds. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer on several occasions and Nissan has yet to figure out what the issue is.

POWER TRAIN
When attempting to shift the car out of Park whenever it is parked on an incline, it is difficult to move the shifter out of Park and when it does it klangs/bangs loudly. I have taken the car back to the dealership and they tested and confirmed the problem and said they know about this from others but Nissan has not addressed it and currently there is no service bulletin or fix. They suggested applying the e-brake before shifting into Park when shutting off the engine and then reversing the procedure when restarting. This did not work. I am worried this will damage the transmission and possibly fail to hold the car while parked on a slope. There are no lights or codes active.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
During times of weather rain or ice, the AEB system malfunctions. First the slip indicator light comes on. Then a message says that there is a malfunction and to see manual. Next the AEB light will come on. Once both lights are on, the car shudders. Steering is difficult at this point. Next the battery light and oil lights will turn on then the car shuts off while driving. You can no longer hear the engine and acts as if the car was not started. When this occurs I often have to find safety or attempt to “jump start” by shutting the car off completely then turning it back on. The incident repeats itself but will go away after weather is clear. This is a major safety risk specifically while driving and the car shudders then cuts off completely while in drive.
