ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I've noticed an issue with the radio coming on by itself when it's sitting in the garage and apparently it causes a drain on the battery. There's been several times I've gone out to the car and it doesn't start I don't know if the two are connected. I've had the battery checked the alternator checked and they've all been fine. The car is just now 2 years old I took it over from my son when I bought it for him and when I talked to him he's had the same issue.

The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH and depressing on the accelerator pedal, the vehicle would not fully accelerate as desired.

The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle with a major transmission failure. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer and it was agreed that the transmission was faulty. The contact was informed that the mechanic could not repair the vehicle because they could not find the coding for the repair in their system. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 35,901.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
While driving at night, going to the movies, it was a windy night, some obstruction, something small, nicked the front plastic bumper. there was no warning from the AEB. After that happen, the alert AEB light popped up and it's still on. Nothing was broken on the veh. As a matter of fact, there is no damage or nothing to the veh. Just that nick. Bought the car brand new with about 20 miles on it. This happen about two months after. Took it to the dealer where I bought it and told me they don't cover it. It would cost me $1200 dollars out of my pocket to fix it. Also, there was no other vehicles involved for that matter. So, what is the use of buying the extended warranty if when the time comes to use it, it's not covered?

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
When driving at speeds above 70 mph, the RPM’s start to surge. Going from 2.5 RPMs to 5 RPMs without any acceleration in speed from the driver. I have video of it when the cruise control was being used and the rpms surged and fell back. The fuel efficiency screen also shows a decrease in efficiency when the rpms go up. Have also had a loss of power when trying to pass and tried to increased speed - yet the engine surged/faltered. It happens every time I exceed 70 mph. I picked the date when I have video of this occurring. However, it happens whenever I exceed 70mph.

I have been telling Nissan in my town and they say that know about this AEB malfunction. My husband and I couldve died! We were on the interstate late at night going about 80 mpl when the AEB system activated by itself and slammed on the breaks. We started the spin out and the traction control came on and ABS shut off effectively locking up my tires and throwing me into a full spin which resulted in my crashing into the gaurd rail. I've never been more scared in my life. Add this to the list with the transmission issues.

When I try to get a quick acceleration it doesn't want to move it has trouble climbing hills like I had to put it to the floor to make him go anywhere and sometimes when I'm driving to RPMs goes up in the middle of driving without me hitting the gas I also noticed sometimes the buttons on the steering wheel don't always work I have to turn off the car and turn it back on kind of worried about the transmission I have a 2009 Nissan Altima transmission it's going bad on it before it's time so I'm hoping this car is not having the same thing

POWER TRAIN
Transmission shudders and loses power when needing to quickly accelerate. Nissan has paid me an inconvienece fee because all of their 2019 Nissan Sentra SR models experience the same issue. This is extremely dangerous! When needing to get out of a situation quickly, the vehicle shudders and hesitates before catching a gear. This has happened to me in an intersection. Someone ran a redlight and I need to move quickly to avoid an accident. The vehicle sputtered and when it caught it's gear, almost lurched me into oncoming traffic. Nissan has placed 7 transmissions in my car and all are the same. I never took their replacement car because when I drove two other of the same models of my car. They did the same thing! Nissan needs to be held accountable and find a way to fix the transmission so it does not do this shudder anymore. I've seen many consumer reviews that state the same problem. I feel this is widespread enough and a big enough safety defect that Nissan needs to fix before it kills someone because they can move out of the way in time.

Radio comes on by itself. Car is not on. Took it to my Nissan Dealership May 17, 2021. Nothing was found. Also contacted Nissan directly on May 19, 2021, was told nothing could be done at this time because nothing showed up. I’m not a engineer but I know something is wrong, your radio don’t come on by itself when the car is off.

I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF A STOP LAMP SWITCH RECALL FROM NISSAN AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL DEALER, WHO IS UNABLE TO GET THE PARTS NEEDED. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL FALL 2021, POSSIBLY IN OCTOBER. THEY SAID I SHOULD DRIVE IT "AT MY DISCRETION," AND THE SYMPTOMS COULD BE THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WON'T WORK, WHICH COULD CAUSE COLLISION OR THE CAR WON'T START. I CAN CALL THEM BACK IF THESE THINGS HAPPEN, BUT UNLESS OR UNTIL THEY DO, I SHOULD JUST DRIVE IT "AT MY DISCRETION." I LOVE MY CAR AND IT HAS LESS THAN 4,000 MILES ON IT. I AM NOW SKEPTICAL OF DRIVING IT. IT'S NOW MAY AND I HAVE TO WORRY UNTIL PROBABLY OCTOBER THAN MY BRAKE LIGHTS AREN'T WORKING OR THAT MY CAR WON'T START.
