MY CAR HAS UNDER 19,500 MILES AND THE CAMERA IS MESSED UP, MY CAR WOULDN'T START BEFORE, MY BLUETOOTH HESITATES AT TIMES AND MY WARNING LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS AND I GET MY OIL CHANGES DONE AND JUST GOT MY BRAKES DONE AND MY CAR IS SQUEALING AGAIN.

SERVICE BRAKES
I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2018, IN FEBRUARY OF 2019 I HAD MY FRONT BRAKES CHANGED, NOT EVEN TWO MONTHS LATER THE SQUEAKING NOISE STARTED AGAIN ON THE SAME FRONT BRAKE MECHANIC TOLD ME THEY WAS DEFECTED BRAKE PADS SO HE CHANGED THEM AND PLACE SOME NEW ONES ON THE CAR. NOW I PICKED MY CAR UP FROM SHOP AND TWO DAYS LATER THE BRAKES ARE SQUEAKING AGAIN. I'VE INQUIRED WITH OTHERS WHO HAS THE SAME MODEL CAR AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AT THIS POINT I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE I SHOULDN'T GO THROUGH THAT MANY BRAKE PADS ON A NEW VEHICLE. THE SQUEAKING USUALLY TAKE PLACE WHEN I PRESS BRAKES TO COME TO A STOP.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
NISSAN AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONING. THE ALARM GOES OFF 'FRONT RADAR UNAVAILABLE DUE TO OBSTRUCTION" AND LITTLE SYMBOL LIGHTS UP OF TWO CARS CRASHING ON DASHBOARD PANEL. MY VEHICLE STOPS SHORT INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THIS WARNING OCCURS. I HAVE NOTICED THE PROBLEM IS MORE FREQUENT WHEN I MAKE A TURN, GO OVER A SPEED BUMP OR IN INCLEMENT WEATHER IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY... CAR COMES TO COMPLETE STOP WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE BRAKE. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED TWICE TODAY BECAUSE OF THIS. ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK TODAY THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON 3 TIMES AFTER MAKING SEVERAL RIGHT TURNS ON CITY STREET IT WAS ALSO RAINING. MY CAR STOPPED SHORT AND CAR BEHIND ME HAD TO SLAM ON THEIR BREAKS TO AVOID HITTING ME. .

THE FEB (FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION) READS UNAVAILABLE WHILE DRIVING EITHER IN THE CITY OR HIGHWAY. NOTE: THIS HAPPENS WHEN IS CLEAR OUTSIDE AND WHILE IS WINDY, RAINING, FOGGY. MIND YOU THE IDEA OF HAVING THIS SYSTEM IS TO AID THE DRIVER TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS. BUT IT WILL NOT DO SUCH IF IT IS NOT WORKING, SPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE ABOVEMENTIONED CONDITIONS. THIS FAULT STARTED ON 27 OCT 2018 AT 4:19PM AND IS OCCURRING ON A CONSISTENT BASIS EVEN SINCE. LAST DAY TO OCCUR WAS MONDAY 27 MAY 2019.

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION FAILED ON INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH. I WAS TOLD BY THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP GARAGE MANAGER THAT THEY REALLY DON'T KNOW WHY THEY FAIL EXCEPT THAT THEY THINK THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS DUE TO UNDERSIZED PUMP AND MESH NOT ALLOWING ENOUGH CIRCULATION. EVERYTHING WAS REPLACED AT NISSAN'S EXPENSE, HOWEVER I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE REPAIR. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE WARNING LIGHT OR MESSAGE THAT APPEARED ON THE DASH.

MY 2017 NISSAN ALTIMA THAT CURRENTLY HAS 35,000 SIMPLY LOST ALL POWER. I COULDN'T USE THE FOB KEY TO OPEN THE DOOR, THERE WERE NO LIGHTS, NO RADIO, NOTHING. BECAUSE IT IS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY, I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND LEFT IT WITH THEM FOR TWO DAYS FOR THEM TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG. THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFY WHAT WAS WRONG. THE CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED ONCE THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER. THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE CAR ALARM WAS ACTIVATED. THE MECHANICS WERE TOTALLY DUMBFOUNDED BY THE EVENTS. THEY COULDN'T TELL ME WHAT WAS THE REASON FOR THE CAR LOSING ALL POWER. TWO DAYS LEADING UP TO THE CAR LOSING ALL POWER, I NOTICED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED THAT IS WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, IF FOR WHATEVER REASON I HAVE TO SLOW OR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR SHUTTERS. IT FELT AS IF THE CAR WAS ABOUT LOSE POWER AND SHUTDOWN. I HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE WITH MY 2011 NISSAN ALTIMA. IT ACTUALLY SHUTDOWN A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC A COUPLE TIMES. THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED WITH A RECALL THAT UPDATED SOME SORT OF SOFTWARE FOR THAT CAR AND AFTER THAT UPDATE I NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM AGAIN. I GAVE THAT CAR TO MY PARENTS AND THEY HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED IT SHUTTING NOW. THE PROBLEM THAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING WITH THE 2017 CAR IS IDENTICAL TO THE PROBLEM I HAD WITH THE 2011 ALTIMA. IT IS FLAT OUT DANGEROUS AND I AM CONCERN IT COULD COST ME MY LIFE.

THE FRONT EMERGENCY BRAKING (FEB) WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THE WARNING STATES, " FRONT RADAR UNAVAILABLE DUE TO OBSTRUCTION". THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, SHORT AND LONG DISTANCE DRIVING, AS WELL AS ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHILE TURNING. THIS WAS ESPECIALLY CONCERNING WHEN IT HAPPENED WHILE MAKING A TURN. THE WARNING WENT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING A TURN AND IT WAS DISORIENTING AS IT WAS COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED.. THIS WARNING NOW GOES OFF RANDOMLY ON A DAILY BASIS AND I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 2 WEEKS AGO.
