On Sunday September 8 2024 at 3:01 pm while driving my car down the road my car suddenly started flashing the Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection system warning light. The warning started flashing then the engine shut down. The engine shut down for about five minutes then I was able to start it again. But My check engine light was on. My Nissan Connect sent me a message via email that my "PATHFINDER's engine may have an emission control system malfunction." I moved the car from the middle of the street to a parking lot and initially called for a tow truck. However, after sitting in the car for about 40 minutes waiting for a tow truck I started the vehicle again and it started and the check engine light was off. I subsequently took my vehicle to two Nissan dealerships and they could not find an issue or a resolution to the problem. Today, November 17 2023, at 4:23pm I was on my way home driving west and my car began to flash the same indications that I received during the initial incident. The common thread between both incidences was that I was driving west during dusk and the sun was shining brightly in my direction. I believe that the brightness of the sun is causing the AEB system to malfunction and can cause the vehicle to shut down while driving. This is definitely a hazard if driving.
the car is burning through brakes first brakes was repaired under warranty from nissan at 15k miles now the car needed
The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that while the wife was driving approximately 60 MPH and attempting the stop, the braking system malfunctioned and the vehicle did not stop or reduce speed while the brake pedal was being pressed causing the vehicle to crash into the rear of a second vehicle. During the crash, the collision avoidance system did not activate and the air bag did not deploy. No injuries were reported. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 38,600.
Mileage: 38,600
Collision avoidance system engaged without warning forcibly stopping vehicle in the middle of highway traffic with no obstructions in front of vehicle. Rear Brake pads also wearing out at less than 30k miles. Pads went from 7mm to 2mm thickness between 5k mile oil change intervals. This lead to extreme rotor damage and replacement of rotors and pads.

Last Nov.10 after my oil change to Nissan Van nuys Dealership within less than a mile, i got terrible experience,The Car was stop in the middle of the road and a red Solid oil pressure light show up on dashboard and The Gear shift from Drive to Neutral and get towed and bring back to dealer and after 4 days i pick up my car and now i can drive it again! But after couple of days and weeks? While i'm driving on freeway, Check engine light, AEB light, and other orange light Shows up on dashboard, i get scared again because it losses power and then i stop slowly on the Curb and read the nissan pathfinder manual and turn off and turn on the engine? Before i bring it again to the dealership i try to Diagnose by myself using OBDII FIXD with and Apple App to know what is the code and why there was check engine light and AEB light and, etc.? It shOws Major driving impact -Control Module P061B-Engine,Torque management system P2637-Engine, Can't measure Air flow P0101-Engine? P0507-Idle air control-engine, and many more?
The automatic collision breaking system light just came on. I turned it off and waited a while. I was fine for two days then came back on and stayed on. Took it to the dealer and they said I must have hit something because the sensors were not aligned. I explained I had hit nothing. There is no damage at all to the bumper. No accident reports no damage nothing but they insisted I “must have hit something.” Light when off again for about a day then came back on. Radio turns off and on randomly. Had an engine overheating after I turned the car on a 56 degree day.
While driving with the cruise control activated and Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) turned on and also the ProPilot Assist and Speed Adjust by Route turned on, I have been on the highway (Speed limit 100km/h) and the vehicle reads the speed limit sign on the exit ramp (20km/h) and automatically reduces my speed even though I am not on the exit ramp. I have almost been hit from behind due to that sudden slow down. I have now turned some of those systems off until they come up with a software fix, very dangerous.
While driving the vehicle automatically applied brakes even though there was nothing in front of me. There was a car in left lane but nothing in front. No crash this time but close to being rear ended. Also backing up i took my eyes off camera to look in mirror, there was a car behind me & BAM we collided. Not warning beep, no applying brakes when it should have.
The car delays start. When I press the push to start, the radio will come on but all the indicators will be lit but the car wouldn't start. Sometimes I have to press the start button multiple times. Forward collision warning sensor randomly turns off. Sensor will say malfunctioning at random times.
First incident is dangerous. I have already had 3 incidences with this one. It has to do with the 'automatic shut off system' when you come to a stop light/sign or other reason the car shuts down when you pause driving. Traffic was heavy and it was necessary to pull out quickly on all occasions. The vehicle has such a pause that when it did start to go I had to slam on my brakes to stop so I wouldn't get hit. Took me till the third time to correctly identify the problem. Even if I turn off the 'AUTO', it comes right back on when you turn the car off and back on. Second issue is just really irritating. I purchased the vehicle for the tow capabilities. When you are towing and put the vehicle in reverse, it goes nowhere until you go thru about a dozen screens to turn it off the ABS system. And it comes right back on when you turn the car off. When I am in tow mode I should be able to go directly into reverse. Third issue is just irritation. When you put the vehicle in reverse, if there is something in the front of the car the warning comes on for the front of the vehicle. If I am in Reverse, no warnings should be coming on for the front of the car.
