This happened to me a total of 3 times. Low fuel light does not come on. First time I had 32 miles until empty no low fuel light came on, car stopped battery light came on. Tried to jump the car and it did not start. Put in some premium gas and it started. Second time same thing happened car slowly stopped and battery light came on. Tried to jump the car did not start, put gas in but this time it didn't start, had to get the car towed. Battery was tested and fine. Mechanic said he believes it is the gas gage being incorrect. Third time this happened today, February 3,2024 50 miles until empty pulled out into the middle of the road and my car stopped. I was in the middle of the road with cars beeping at me. I could not move my car. Battery light came on. Police came and put some gas in the car and it started. This is a dangerous thing happening and thankfully I am okay and it could have been alot worse. Please have this issue looked into and fixed. I will be bringing my car into the dealer Monday for this issue to be resolved hopefully.
Radio turns on intermittently when the car is not on. Drains battery. Has caused the car to not start several times and left my daughter on the side of the road.

CVT. The safety issue is losing power when driving. Almost stalls. My safety in jeopardy when you have traffic including semi trucks coming from behind.
On October 14, 2023, while driving with no vehicle in front of the 2019 Nissan Sentra, the Automatic Emergency Braking engaged, stopping the car forcefully. There were 3 warning beeps of a potential collision immediately prior to the braking, however, as stated, no vehicle was in front of this vehicle, and no other obstruction was in front of the vehicle. On October 16, 2023, while driving with no vehicle in front of the 2019 Nissan Sentra, there were 3 beeps warning of a potential collision. During this occasion, the braking did not engage and only the warning was given.
Nine statements: 1. The radio in the car is failing. It comes on and immediately turns off. 2. The radio showed the rear image and sensors upon reverse. Now neither of those works. It could cause a rear impact upon parking or a person quickly crossing behind the car. 3. The problem has been reported to the dealer, documented, and confirmed by the Nissan Dealer on [XXX] at Nissan Servicing Dept - 1919 Central Park Avenue, Yonkers, NY 10710. The attendant who I worked with was Daniel Ramroop and confirmed situation @ 1pm EST. 4. No, the vehicle was not in an accident so there is no police, insurance, or other representative report. 5. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure 6. About a year and brought it in for checking last week when I received the recall notice to bring the car in for curing the recall. The service department said that if electrical issues related to the stop lamp switch recall caused the failure, that they could look at both the same time. 7. In their review, they stated that it was not caused by the stop lamp and do not have an explanation for why the radio failed. 8. I have attached the work order and the review of the rear camera, radio, and rear sensors 9. There were 26 NHTSA complaints as of March 2023 exist for the Nissan-??s electrical issues concerning the radio but no recall or known repair is associated with the radio.

Several electrical and transmission problems. Vehicle over exerts battery. Transmission goes out of overdrive while driving. Collusion avoidance radar constantly goes into malfunction modes. Car over heats.
I have a 2019 Nissan Sentra with only 17,000 miles. The seatbelt indicator light stays on even while wearing the seatbelt. There is no warning chime just the light. However, if there is a passenger the seatbelt indicator light will go off. My concern is for the passenger's safety. I'm concerned if everything will work like it should especially if there happens to be an accident and the airbags deploy.
I own a 2019 Nissan Sentra that was bought as a preowned car in 2020. About a year after purchasing the car I was stranded for the first time when after parking for about 8 hours my car did not start. After getting the car jump started the battery tested in good working order. Since then if my car is locked using the key fob for a few hours (4 or more) the car will not start more than 70% of the time. If the car is manually locked, even for 2 weeks, the problem does not occur, and there is no issue getting the car started. The safety risk is being stranded. The car battery is being drained while the car is parked, and locked, but charges back when driving. all electrical components that can be turned off are turned off (radio, air conditioner, lights).
I went to work and while driving I noticed a light come on. When I looked it up it said safety light and to clean my cameras for possible dirt. I got to work and turned car off. When I went to leave for a meeting 1 hour later the car would not start. All the lights were working and the radio came on. I tried to start it again and the break got hard and it still wouldn-??t start. I tried to jumpstart it and it tried to come on but made a noise and wouldn-??t come on. I waited a while tried jumping it again and it started. The safety light went off and never came back on. I had my battery replaced in September 2022 so I left to go get it checked and it was good I also checked alternator and it was good. I went home and left a few times with no problem then the next morning it happened again. I had to jump it to start and took it to an auto shop. They couldn-??t find anything in the diagnostic test but replaced starter to see if that was it. I drove home and 2 hours later tried to leave and the car wouldn-??t start. I went back the next day to the shop and they couldn-??t find anything and changed battery to key fobe. The car started for the rest of the day. I went to work the next morning with no problem then when I tried to leave for lunch it wouldn-??t start. I went back to shop throwing a fit and they kindly refunded me back my money and told me to go to a Nissan dealership because of a recall they looked up that could be the problem and it should be repaired for free.
To be brief, I had a nissan sentra 2019 leased car from 10/19 to present. About 1 year during its lease (3 year), I noticed that the instrument clock freezes and the other clock on the radio panel/screen does not. I have contacted NIssan company and the dealership that I leased the auto from. NO help at all. I have 6 different videos of this situation on my cell phone. The main reason I am contacting this federal agency is that the last time it happened (01/23), I the control instruments on the steering wheel did not function at all. I will admit I never tried to use the various controls when the clock froze in the past 2 years until by chance I did this past month. This may also involve even the car horn (all in the same area). Thus, all I have been asking is to have AV control ( or whatever else) replaced. HOWEVER, it is a safety problem if it also affects, controls on steering wheel area (cruise control, instrument panel, radio, horn etc.) Once car is turned off the system reboots and even thing works, it does not matter about the temperature, speed, time duration of travel, day or night. I know there have been problems with this model as stated on google. As one can see when the instrument displays are not working there can and will be problems including safety. NOTE: I have contacted NIssan customer service dept. After many calls, Nissan did send me an extended warranty for the electical. problem is the company does not honor the warranty. So what good is any warranty if it is never honored!
Automatic "Emergency" Braking System: I was driving my 2019 nissan sentra home a few weeks ago on a 2 lane street going about 35 mph, when suddenly and without warning, with no obstructions/cars in front of or in back of me luckily, my automatic emergency braking system engaged throwing me forward in my car seat even though i was wearing my seat belt and bringing the car practically immediately to a complete stop in the middle of the road and scaring the living daylights out of me! After this i could not drive the car home because i was to scared so i called for help to come get me. Ever since i have been deathly afraid to drive my car. I am lucky i was not in an accident! I have noticed this is a KNOWN and REPORTED issue across the internet with this nissan "safety" system on many of their cars as well as some lawsuits against them for similar incidents. I cannot understand why such a serious and potentially dangerous issue has been left unchecked and unresolved by nissan or anyone for that matter! This issue is a serious danger for both the driver and passengers of cars with this problem as well as other drivers on the road! I am lucky no one was behind me and my kids weren't in the car! Calling the nissan dealership i found that they want around 150 dollars just to diagnose problem! And if its any of the sensors malfunctioning/needing replacing that its around 750 dollars for one sensor! Not including whatever else the defective issue could be. I am not the original owner of this car, i bought it used, i was told by dealership and informed on car-fax that it was never in an accident. So far the problem has not been able to be reproduced, it is an defect/malfunction/issue, that happens unexpectedly when it wants to. Warning lamps activated: Front crash warning light which will not go off and i can find no way to reset. I asked dealer to reset it but instead they insisted i pay 150 dollars for a diagnostic i could not afford.
Since inception, the radio emits sudden noise or blast of music when the car is off, never started, etc. In addition, the SRS airbag light will not go off. I have a key FOB and tried all alternatives to reset this. I also resetted the radio, but the radio goes on/off randomly when the car is off/parked.
The battery light comes on every time I break...I have had the brake ignition replaced twice...the battery has been replaced but the issue continues..I have had to have the car jumped several times. The brake ignition was under recall and was replaced twice but it is still giving me issues. The radio works when it wants too.
