3 Vehicle Speed Control problem

The automatic emergency braking (aeb) system stops working. The dashboard message says the front sensors are being obstructed but they are not. This seems to be a widespread issue with this sensor on Nissan vehicles.

4 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 08/25/2020

When I first purchased the vehicle I did notice that the steering wheel felt loose but then I figured, it's a new vehicle that I have to get a custom to. This was in February 2020, it is August and I had two wheel balances done on the vehicle assuming that was the issue, however, the steering wheel continued to worsen and was out of control as I drove on the highway. I had to literally guide the steering wheel, holding it tightly, especially in turns. Now the steering wheel goes all around and is completely loose. I cannot drive in the highway it becomes worse for some reason. Also when I press the accelerator, it seems as the car goes ahead of me and I rock back a bit and the speed control arrow moves up and down in consistently. I also had to change the brakes about a month ago. This is a 2018 Nissan Altima. I received the vehicle at approximately 39000 miles. The car feels lopsided too.

5 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 07/19/2020

I began experiencing issues with what we believe to be my break switch, and while I was driving down the road 3 of my breaks locked up, also taking away my ability to stop.

6 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 04/15/2020

I leased a 2018 Nissan Altima (from Nissan) on 3/24/18. Approx 12k miles into leasing the vehicle I had a brake light switch/brake lamp switch (brake switch) go bad. The vehicle is a push to start vehicle and the brake switch is a senor above the brake that when you press on the brake, it tells the vehicle that your pressing the brake to start the vehicle. The part was back ordered so Nissan as a whole had zero brake switches to replace my bad one. I explained to the Nissan service rep that im in the military and I need my vehicle to drive me to different duty locations and also I have court ordered custody in which I have to drive 424 miles to go see my daughter and that particular weekend I needed my vehicle to drive to see her. The rep advised me that he would take one from a new vehicle and place it into mines so I could go see my daughter. Because he did that, the maintenance was undocumented. At 21,254k miles the part failed again. Causing my vehicle not to start (it was start randomly). When it did start, I was not able to shift my vehicle out of park or sometimes if I did get it into park, I couldnt shift it from drive or reverse, causing a major safety concern. Also while driving the cars anti-collision braking system, which was incorporated with the switch, would suddenly cause my vehicle to brake (even while driving 70mph on the highway). Sometimes the vehicle wouldn't go over 30mph. I was able to get that fixed under warranty. The part failed again at 62,155k miles and at 129,025k miles. The last time the part failed I asked the Nissan service rep if there anything Nissan can do because I cant keep paying for this part to keep failing. I need my vehicle to see my daughter and to travel for the military. He advised me to call the Nissan corporate, I called and they started a case but the next day I was advised that they couldn't do anything.

7 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 04/02/2020

After 10 min of operation and at a regular speed in a frw 55 mph the collusion sensor comes up stating that there is no warning if a car is too close to the front of vehicle. Cruse control doesn't work and appears that works with the collusion sensor.

8 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 11/06/2019

Automatic emergency breaking turns off constantly. When a truck towing a trailer passed me a light came on and a message flashed on the dash. It said that the radar was unavailable because of an obstruction. It happened again at an intersection. It seems to go off several times a day when it senses cars beside me, at intersections, turning. . . I made an appointment with Nissan service at jeff wyler kong?s Nissan in mason ohio. They found dtc # c1a16 radar stain and c1b55-97 radar blockage. They reprogrammed the radar unit. It still didn?t work. They said the part needs to be replaced to the tune of $1637. 86. We bought this car specifically for the aeb. We researched it?s reliability through consumer reports. I checked and there were no recalls. There were no accidents on the vehicle?s history report. I?d run a small general obd reader that did not show the code before buying. We are pretty mad to have extended ourselves to pay more for something that doesn?t work. I?ve called 1800nissan1 so we?ll see if they fix it. So far they?ve only told me it?s not covered, despite how many Nissan models and years are all having the same issue. We couldn?t see it bc they haven?t recalled it.

9 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 02/28/2019

A lag when accelerating from a stop. Step on the accelerator and feel a slight clunk before I start to move. Turning off overdrive seems to give a more solid start with not so much hesitation. Always feel like I need to gently accelerate from stop or something might break.
