This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
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..
My smart key stop to work, when work in the dash shows up key error, car don T want to open or start, lock or open. I got two keys and both got same problem
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.
I was standing in dining room when I heard a loud sound. I walked outside and saw metal cabinet (which contained various cleaning products, spray paint, etc) next to front left tire of 2017 Nissan Altima on fire. I did not walk far enough off porch to examine if car was on fire at that time. I ran back inside and got my son and his girlfriend out of house. I called 911 and moved friends vehicle (which was parked behind mine.) my son reported seeing front left tire of the parked Altima located inside carport on fire and attempted to put it out with fire extinguisher. Car and part of house burned until fire department arrived and put fire out. Car was deemed total loss by insurance and house is unlivable due to fire and smoke damage. VIN is invalid
Vehicle was about 10,000 miles while I was driving on local tarseal road that had no cubs tire got flat and its went into big holes that can not be repaired.. tire got flat with big holes about 10 months brand new vehicle. Tire came with 60,000 miles warranty or 6 years warranty. Mileage on this local road was 40 mph.
The forward collision warning system stopped working. The dealer 441 southern Nissan in wellington, fl refused to test the car after their computer said the system was working. I called Nissan and they referred me to another dealer. The other dealer, greenacres Nissan indicated they knew there was a problem after checking it out and said they ordered the part. The part did not arrive and now they say no one in the area has the part. I believe there is a bigger problem with these radar sensors. Someone in the service dept told me they heard there is a software fix being worked on. This is a critical safety feature. Thanks,
When the back driver side window is rolled down, the back driver side door opens on its own. This occurred when my child was sitting in the back seat and the door opened on its own. This occurred when the vehicle was stationary in a parking lot with the doors unlocked.
