03/11/2020 I DROVE THE 2018 NISSAN SENTRA ON HWY 26 W TO PORTLAND OREGON. WHILE DRIVING THE AEB SENSOR LIGHT TURNS ON, MALFUNCTION FROM MANUFACTORY LIGHT ON WITH THE PIPING SOUND CAME ON THAT WAS THE EFFECTED THE SPEED CONTROL BY THE BRAKING. NEXT DAY 3/12/20. I DROVE TO CARR NISSAN DEALER FOR REPAIR AEB(AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKE) CENSOR. THE DEALER SAID THAT MY CAR HAS NO WARRANTY AND CHARGED FOR REPAIR IS $5,754.42 DUE ON 03/18/2020. I THINK THE NISSAN DEALER WAS OVERCHARGED. I THINK THIS IS SAFETY ISSUES AND 2018 NISSAN SENTRA NEEDS TO RECALL THE AEB SENSOR.ON THE HWY26 HAVE MY KID 16 YEARS OLD AND MY WIFE IN THE CAR.

STOPPED GOING FORWARD WHEN AT TRAFFIC LIGHT WILL ONLY GO IN REVERSE. DEALERSHIP SAYS WARRANTY IS UP AND IT WILL COST 4000$ TO FIX. I AM CONFUSED AS TO HOW A CAR THAT WAS BOUGHT 4/20/2018 HAS THE NEED FOR THE TRANSMISSIOM TO BE REPLACED. THIS CAR HAS HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND I DO NOT BELIEVE AFTER PAYING 479.09 A MONTH FOR THE PAST 23 MONTHS I SHOULD BE SPENDING AN ADDITIONAL 4000$

NISSAN 2018 SENTRA AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB), RELIES ON A RADAR IN THE FRONT GRILLE TO MONITOR A CAR'S PROXIMITY TO THE VEHICLE AHEAD, WARN OF POSSIBLE COLLISIONS, AND HIT THE BRAKES IF THE DRIVER CAN'T. BUT A PROBLEM WITH SOME OF THOSE RADAR MODULES ' A THIRD-PARTY COMPONENT SUPPLIED BY BOSCH ' MAKES THE SENSOR FREQUENTLY DEACTIVATE ITSELF, DISABLING CRUISE CONTROL AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM. A WARNING FLASHES ON THE DASHBOARD TO INDICATE THE PROBLEM: 'FRONT RADAR UNAVAILABLE DUE TO OBSTRUCTION.'

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ABOUT 30 MPH, BEFORE I EVEN APPROACHED ANOTHER VEHICLE MY SENSORS BEGAN BEEPING QUICKER AS IF I WERE ABOUT TO HIT ANOTHER CAR. NO VEHICLE NEAR ME CLOSE ENOUGH FOR SENSOR TO BEGIN ALERTING ME. AS I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN , THEY BEGAN BEEPING VERY FAST AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP, I WENT AROUND A CAR THAT WAS SITTING AT THE STOP SIGN TO AVOID REAR ENDING THEM, AND STILL REAR ENDED A PARKED CAR. POLICE WERE ON THE SCENE AND WITNESSED THE ACCIDENT. MY CAR WAS TOTALED DUE TO A MALFUNCTION

WHEN BRAKING, IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL YOUR FOOT MAY BE ON BOTH THE BRAKE AND THE GAS AT THE SAME TIME, MAKING CAR TO EXCELERATE. GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL ARE VERY CLOSE TO EACH OTHER. WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AND GO TO BRAKE IS WHEN IT HAPPENS, ANYWHERE.

ON 12/16/19 I REPORTED AN ISSUE WITH THE AUTOMATIC BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING IT'S UNAVAILABLE. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE IN 3 TIMES TO FIX THE ISSUE AT METRO NISSAN IN MONTCLAIR CALIFORNIA. THEY CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM AND KNOW ABOUT IT FROM OTHER VEHICLES. THEY HAVE NOW CHOSEN TO BLAME ME FOR THE ISSUE. THIS DEALERSHIP IS THE WORST POSSIBLE. NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND DOESN'T HAVE A FIX. THE SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED, THE SENSOR HAS BEEN CALIBRATED, ETC. PROBLEM IS THE SYSTEM IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY MORE. NISSAN WAKE UP AND FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR MANY OF YOUR CAR OWNERS. BUY THE CARS BACK IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. KEEP OUR SAFETY PRIORITY #1. I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR 3 WEEKS AND IT'S BEEN AT METRO NISSAN THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME AND STILL BROKEN. SINCE THE DEALER CAN NOT FIX THE PROBLEM I'M CONTACTING NISSAN CORP DIRECTLY. LOUSY DEALERSHIP. STAY AWAY FROM THEM.

AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM SENSOR FREQUENTLY LIGHTS UP WITH A WARNING RADAR UNAVAILABLE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND LOCAL STREETS. I JUST GOT THIS CAR AND AFTER ONE DAY I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. FIRST THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE THE SENSOR. AFTER FOUR DAYS IN THE SHOP THEY SAID THEY CLEANED THE SENSOR AND CLEARED THE CODES. THEY ALSO CALIBRATED THE SENSOR. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN TWICE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER IN TWO DAYS. IN READING THE NHTSA WEBSITE THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL CAR, WITH THE FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM. MANY OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE. NISSAN HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL OR FIX THE PROBLEM. THESE CARS ARE LEMONS. THE FAILURE CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR SOMETHING A LOT MORE SERIOUS. ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN.
