Malfunctioning icc radar sensor malfunctioning. I'm receiving a warning message "front radar obstruction". dealer refuses to fix because my mileage is too high
The front radar is not working. We get an error saying 'the front radar is unavailable obstruction'. I've checked what I think it the radar module and it's not obstructed. I've also seen a ton of similar complaints about this issue.
Automatic emergency braking (aeb) system is malfunctioning, displaying the warning message 'front radar unavailable due to obstruction.' The warning will clear and reappear multiple time without any driver intervention during a single trip.
I bought a 2018 Nissan sentry in November of 2018. In the past month the brand new car has not been starting. It has been leaving me stranded at work and at the store. I keep taking it to the dealer ship and they replace the brake switch and battery. However the car is still not starting on me. The dealership replace the brake switch again but now they are waiting for another part. This is very frustrating because it's a new car and to me everything in the car should be new.

I was in the parking lot stationary, attempting to leave the store, and my vehicle would not start due to the brake sensor malfunctioning. I drive a 2018 Nissan Sentra and it is push start. At the time it was mid day and the weather was about 102. My eight month and a half pregnant girlfriend had to wait in the parking lot for approximately 20 minutes in the heat until the vehicle started to work again. After one google search I was able to find out that this issue is quite frequent and needs to be addressed. This is happened on four separate occasions prior to this and all of them happened between 21,500 and 23,500 miles. This isunacceptable for a one-year-old vehicle and could've led to something way more dangerous in the event we had our newborn child with us.
Faulty radar in the automatic emergency braking system is causing a very dangerous malfunction in the car. The dealership has repeatedly tried to repair the problem, to no avail. This is causing the car to randomly stop in the middle of the highway and/or cause the auto emergency brake to simply not work.

My daughter was involved in axsingke car accident that cost her life. The front end collision sensors were not working at the time ovate accident. Last year when the sensor light went on, we made an attempt to get it repaired. We were told by the dealer M'lady Nissan in crystal lake il that there was no fix for his problem yet. About a month ago [xxx] and I took her car in for an oil change and I demanded the front sensors get fixed. We received the same response from the dealer and told we would receive a postcard when the repair was made. My daughter hit the traffic light pole and the brakes were never applied. I don't know if this would have saved her life but I believe this is an important defect that must be repaired. I have a hard time believing multi billion dollar company cannot come up with a fix for a $5 sensor. My daughter was 28 and I do not want any other family to have to go through. What we are going through. I was told that there will not be an investigation by the woodstock police department. The police report #[xxx]. ph # 815-338-2131 woodstock, il police department. I do not have a photo of the car. I understand it was on the front page of the nw herald in crystal lake il information reenacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). Police report submitted. Photos attached communication with Nissan attached.
I work in a shop and over the last month, we've seen 10 Sentra under 15000miles come in with snapped drive belts. All of them have pulleys that spin freely so that's not the issue. The belts seem to be coming apart at the seams
While driving slightly over 80 mph in Utah where the speed limit is 80 mph, the gasket holding down the windshield started to come off and had to be held in place by closing the window on it. This happened to the gasket on both sides of the windshield. This was a rental car. For future driving I was able to hold it down in place with duct tape which I happened to have.
