I was driving to work, rpm’s suddenly started to surge. Pulled up to a stop light to get off the road and vehicle stopped in the middle of the intersection and would not move except in reverse. Other vehicles(semis) had to brake hard and go around me. Called Nissan and they said they couldn’t do anything since it is at 120k miles and I feel they are 100% liable since there was a class action for this type of repair.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Automatic emergency braking has happened 3 times in the last 2 months without any reason. The 1st time there was a person who stepped off a side walk but I wasn’t to close to them. The last 2 times there was nothing around and all 3 times I was doing 40 or less. What happens if it happens doing 65+ on the highway. I’m worried this is going to cause someone to rear end me because it happens so suddenly with no warning really. I have made an appointment with the dealership.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
When trying to accelerate, the car begin shudders and then couldn't jerks. The RPM fluctuates and jumps spastically and today, I couldn't accelerate at all and lost power completely after trying to accelerate at a green light. Car also slowed itself down on the interstate while traveling at 70 mph for a month straight and then would stall again about 15 minutes later going 15 mph in a parking lot. Checked the code the check engine light gave about an over retarded cam shaft sensor, replaced it, and am still having the same issue.

My car has a recall for the left and/or right tie rod may be bent. A bent tie rod can break, causing a loss of steering control and increasing the risk of a crash. I brought the car in two days prior (July 3rd) to get fixed but the dealership wasn’t allotted enough mechanics to be able to get to my car, (july 5th) I turned out of a hotel parking lot and my front left tie rod broke. The recall number for Nissan is PM985 and is supposed to be fixed by Nissan with no cost to me. At the moment it is under review and Nissan is trying to find any way to not fix it for free. I live in atlanta with no family and am a female, my car is my only means for transportation. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 21V461000. With 138,736 already affected, I am number 138,737.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I brought this car 1/28/2023. The car emergency brake or stop was activated for no reasons at all. There was zero objects in front of my bumper. This happened to me twice. Once in May 2023 and then again on the 4th of July 2023. I called the dealership on 1st incident in May 2023 and I was told that the brakes will be applied if the car thinks it’s getting ready to crash. This is very dangerous and can cause an accident if the emergency braking system is causing the car to stop for no reasons.

POWER TRAIN
The vehicle will hesitate and stall when I am pulling out until traffic, causing me to almost get hit if there are any cars coming. When I go over 50mph on an incline, the RPMs will jump way high and the car will lose power in the middle of the highway. I will have to pull over and turn it off for awhile to get it to run again. There are no lights on at this time, but if I have the cruise control going, the Cruise light will flash and cruise will not work. Hitting Accelerate on the steering wheel cruise menu will move the car, but the gas pedal will not, and cruise control will not work.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I've purchased a 2019 Nissan Sentra SV on 06/06/2023 from Empire Hyundai in Fall River Ma. I received the vehicle on 06/09/2023. Shortly after leaving the dealership, malfunction lights appeared with a continuous beeping sound. It would disappear when the car was turned off, and reappear after restarting the vehicle and driving for a few minutes. I had a bumper to bumper inspection conducted at Firestone in Fall River, on 06/10/2023. Tony, (Empire Hyundai salesman) had informed myself via text message on 06/13/2023, My vehicle registration and plates were completed and ready to be retrieved. He was adamant, that I get an inspection sticker right away with the voucher provider by Empire Hyundai. I retrieved the plates and registration that afternoon. I also texted Tony the bumper to bumper results and the malfunction signal(s). The earliest appointment was set for 06/20/2023 at this establishment. While I was traveling to my work site an hour out from my residence on 06/19/2023. Approximately five minutes away from the site, the vehicle abruptly slowed down. And would only move backwards, no matter the gear it was in. The vehicle was towed to Empire Hyundai at my expense. I tried to speak with the Management on 06/21/2023 for a refund. That wasn't successful. Empire Hyundai towed the vehicle to Stateline Nissan in RI on 06/22/2023, at approximately 10:00 am. Stateline Nissan disclosed to myself, they replaced the original transmission to this Nissan, just two months prior per Empire Hyundai's request. As I reviewed the documents I requested from Stateline Nissan. Empire Hyundai's invoice confirmed the vehicle malfunction lights are displayed and the transmission was replaced. Stateline Nissan informed myself on 06/22/2023. One hour before they closed, the vehicle was all done. I was able to retrieve the vehicle the next morning. Just moments after leaving Stateline Nissan, the malfunction signal reappeared along with the continuous beeping sound.
