All Electrical System Complaints (60)
I am writing to formally report a safety-related defect in my 2019 Nissan Sentra and to request reimbursement for repair costs associated with this issue. My vehicle experienced a failure of the brake light switch, which prevented the car from starting and disabled the brake lights—posing a serious safety hazard. Although I have been informed that my vehicle is not currently included in Recall Campaign PM971, the symptoms and defective part match the recall description precisely. I have verified my VIN through the NHTSA recall lookup tool, and I am concerned that the recall scope may be too narrow, excluding vehicles that are clearly affected. This defect required immediate repair to restore basic vehicle functionality and ensure safety. I have attached documentation of the repair, including the invoice and diagnostic notes, for your review. I respectfully request the following: Reimbursement for the cost of the brake light switch repair. A formal review of my vehicle’s eligibility for Recall PM971. Consideration for expanding the recall to include additional affected vehicles, including mine. I am submitting this complaint in the interest of safety and fairness—not only for myself but for other Nissan owners who may be facing the same issue without recourse. I trust that Nissan will take this matter seriously and respond with the integrity and customer care that your brand represents. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.
Push to start is having issues. Break stiffens up and car wont start.
I purchased a 2019 Nissan Sentra SR (VIN: [XXX] ) as a certified pre-owned vehicle from Star Nissan in Bayside, NY on [XXX]. Since the day of purchase, I have experienced repeated failures when trying to start the vehicle using the push-button ignition. Specifically, when pressing the brake pedal to start the car, nothing happens — the brake does not register, and the engine will not start. This issue directly matches the symptoms outlined in NHTSA Recall 21V135 (Nissan Campaign PM971), which addresses a known brake lamp switch defect in 2016–2019 Nissan Sentra models. I was not the original owner and was never notified of this recall. The selling dealership, who had custody of the car when the recall was issued, did not confirm or perform the required repair before reselling the vehicle to me. Nissan Consumer Affairs now claims there are “no open recalls” on my VIN, but the part in question — the brake switch — has never been replaced, and my Nissan service history confirms that it was not repaired. Instead, unrelated components like the brake booster were replaced multiple times, which did not resolve the issue. This defect has created multiple unsafe situations where I was stranded with my child in unsafe areas due to the car failing to start. The car’s brake system is critical to safe operation and starting function, and failure of this component puts both myself and my child at risk. I believe the recall was never performed and was falsely marked as completed or was never properly associated with my VIN. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate why this VIN is not being flagged for an active recall, despite clear matching symptoms and lack of documented repair. I also request that Nissan be required to fulfill the safety repair free of charge under the recall. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The drivers side door lock is defective. The automatic locking does not work. This is unsafe since the doors need to be locked manually which puts people at right of opening the door while driving. There are currently no recalls or warnings in regards to this malfunction. Also, the electrical and sound in the front radio screen is also defective. I did take it to Nissan and they said it would need to be completely replaced. This service would cost $400. Because of this defect, you cannot talk to emergency services if needed.
The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the battery was replaced. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer where it was diagnosed and repaired with a software update. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 44,000.
Mileage: 44,000
Car is constantly turning on inside even if the car is turned off, the radio will play all night. Sometimes in comes on and then it turns off. When car is turned on and I am driving all of a sudden screen and dashboard will go out all black and then all of a sudden turns on. This has been happening since I purchased the vehicle which was about 2 years ago, I did take back to question it and it was stated to me that sometimes vehicles do that because the vehicle has just been turned off. Now to add to that I am getting a key system error on dashboard when driving the car and electrically speaking the doors are now not locking but everything mechanically is intact and working.
When i bought the car, it started making a grunting sound every time I would accelerate the car and start driving. Now the car stalls while I'm on drive. It had turned off on me a few times while driving and quickly turn back on, and other times it would turn off when I would make a turn I took my car to my mechanic and they weren't sure what is wrong with it. They say it might be an electrical issue or the transmission, they also said that my axles are bad on my car. I only have a year with the car which I bought from enterprise car sales and it had 115k miles. Still too little for it to have that many problems.
Bought a used car from a dealership, in April 2023. Battery is being drained when parked. I have been stranded several times, due to the battery failure. First time happened 6 months after purchase. Now battery needs to be replaced frequently, about every 2 months
On 10/28/2024 I was driving on a highway at 60 mph with light traffic. All of a sudden the radio display panel went blank and all the warning lights on dashboard lit up. The car started to slow down and did not gain speed even when gas pedal is pressed. Car speed went down to 40 mph. I put on hazard lights and looking for safe spot to park the car. I drove for 2 to 3 minutes and then dashboard warnings lights went out, radio came back and the car gained speed again. It drove normal again. This car has other issues as well such USB ports do not function.
The radio system of car the Nissan connect turns on and off when the car is parked and off it does drain my car battery to the point I have to replace it all the time this issues happened the camera works off and on the CarPlay and android auto sometimes work but it doesn’t which is a safety concern when trying to answer calls through the car and messages but it won’t let me do that due to those issues
See attached document for complaint.

The car will not register the brake activation to be able to start the vehicle. Hence, we have a broken car that now doesn’t work
Transmission has been slipping and now car won’t go into gear at all, door handles have broken on both front doors.
I am having really bad transmission issues. my car screen for GPS, Bluetooth doesnt even work... or wont even play my bluetooth music half the time... my sunroof, will not go down anymore. this is a 2019 Nissian Sentra i just GOT 5 months ago..
Left front vibrations and steering issues. Also start button won't engage even after repair. Trouble stating car and interferes with remote starting.
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.
Parasitic draw on the battery. Drains a period of 8hrs. Have had the battery tested and alternator tested both are good. Had a parasitic draw test done and shows nothing at the time of the test.
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 have trouble starting car, will not detect brake being pressed before starting and brake lights won't work
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).
The vehicle’s battery rapidly drains while the vehicle is off, in a manner of hours or even a couple of days.
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.
Passenger window won't roll up, every other window works fine
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.
Radio Turning On And Off By Itself And Car Sputtering Or Turning Off By Itself When At High Rate Of Speed
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.
At the beginning of June in 2021 my car started showing signs of failing to start. This led to some problems with it driving and the automatic braking system causing problems. The dealer ship fix the piece that connects under the brakes. It was some kind of sensor. This on June 12 of 2021. March 28 2022 I had the problem my car was not starting. I took it in to the dealership they replaced my battery March 29th my check engine light came on I got to codes PO 101 and PO 315. I paid to get the sensors repaid and was told that my crankshaft should be all right if I clean it or I can replace it. I took the car in again April 20 because it was failing to start. The individual who help me in services had the same problem. They brought out their mechanic and the mechanic said no codes were shown. She explained to me that it might be an issue with the Battery that they replaced. I have taken the car to the same dealership to get everything fixed I have also worked with the same person in regards to my problems
Unbeknownst to me, the stop lamp switch recall also effects the vehicle starting. I learned that they were related after I reached out to Nissan regarding my vehicle not starting, it first happened on New Years Eve. This has now happened 2-3X a week. In addition to this issue, I’ve experienced issues with the CVT, and possibly the engine. One evening I was heading home after work, I got onto the on ramp, and attempted to accelerate to merge onto I-84. The vehicle would not accelerate beyond 45, the engine would rev extremely high, and not go any faster. I pulled onto the shoulder as best and quickly as I could. I turned the car off then back on, attempted to merge onto I-84, and had to get onto the shoulder again because I wasn’t able to go faster than 45MPH. Both times I was almost sideswiped by an 18 wheeler on the driver side, had that happened I’d have lost my life. I sat there very frustrated, and in shock. After a few minutes of having no traffic, I drove home at 45MPH. I’ve reached out to Nissan regarding the aforementioned issues, asking if they’d buy the vehicle back for what I owe on it. I received a letter from Nissan Consumer Affairs basically refusing to buy the car back. It’s exasperating owning a 2019 with 15,100 miles, and experiencing these issues. I’m by no means the type of person that feels a brand new vehicle is more reliable than an older one. I’m the type of person that likes knowing I can rely on my car. My mothers’ 2003 Outback with over 230K has been far more reliable than my Sentra. Knowing that there’s no remedy to repair the stop lamp recall is frustrating, that means that each time I go to start my car it may not start, on days that it hasn’t, I’ve spent 10 minutes trying trying to get it to start. These issues are exasperating, and Nissan basically saying I’m SOL, isn’t acceptable.
2019 NISSAN SENTRA Automatic Emergency Braking system suddenly brakes w/o warning while cars are present or not, sensor light comes on and car will stall or abruptly/automatically stop itself. Malfunction light comes on states malfunction look in owners manual. While driving car automatically stopped at a light or in traffic and would not move forward the malfunction light came on. This has been occurring 2 days after purchase (11-6- 2021- 12-7-2021) until recent. 12-7-21 the car stopped itself at a red light (I was the first vehicle in line no one in front of me or to my sides) on green as I tried to press on the gas the car stalled, the back windows rolled up and down, the radio went on and off, and the malfunction light for AEB flashed then the car locked, then solid engine light came on, @ first I could not get my hazard lights on then suddenly they worked. People drove past me honked, called me names, and finally one person helped me move it out of the road. While on the side of the road the car again was on but when I pressed on gas would not accelerate, however while the brake and emergency brake were on and the car was in park it rolled backwards. My son return it to the purchasing dealership twice with the complaint of the malfunction light on told they did not know what was going on and that it was unusual bring it back for maintenance. problem persisted. The car has been brought back twice to the dealership with this and other braking/electrical concerns w/in a shorttime before the final major incident happened (I am thankful that no-one was hurt). Right now 12-8-2021, I had been back to the dealership after reporting the incident with the idea that I would be helped and put into a newer safer vehicle, not the case upon arrival they tried to up sell me a new car @ higher price, when I said no, my option was to fix what is covered under warranty. States they will run own diagnostic test.
I've noticed an issue with the radio coming on by itself when it's sitting in the garage and apparently it causes a drain on the battery. There's been several times I've gone out to the car and it doesn't start I don't know if the two are connected. I've had the battery checked the alternator checked and they've all been fine. The car is just now 2 years old I took it over from my son when I bought it for him and when I talked to him he's had the same issue.
There is a safety recall on this vehicle but there is no remedy available. I am trying to list this car through a rental platform but because of the recall, they won’t let me. I need this recall resolved or have the VIN pulled from the list of recalls.
This is now the 3rd time my car is going in for the same problem. This is a leased 2019 vehicle. I have been Stranded because of this & Lost pay because I could not get to work. This is So unacceptable.. This car is a lemon, & I do not feel safe in this car anymore.
The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that the vehicle would not start on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer five times for diagnosis however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The dealer replaced the battery however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 24,638.
Mileage: 24,638
Radio comes on by itself. Car is not on. Took it to my Nissan Dealership May 17, 2021. Nothing was found. Also contacted Nissan directly on May 19, 2021, was told nothing could be done at this time because nothing showed up. I’m not a engineer but I know something is wrong, your radio don’t come on by itself when the car is off.
MY TIRES HAVE BEEN CHECK TWICE AND THEY ARE ALL AT MANUFACTURE PRESSURE PSI AND STILL MY CAR HAS THE TEMPS TIRE SENSOR LIGHT ON WHEN I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT COMES ON AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM STARTS
THE DISPLAY SCREEN FOR HEAT/AIR CONDITIONING AND AIRFLOW CONTROLS WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF. THE TEMPERATURE AND AIRFLOW CONTROLS WILL STILL WORK EVEN WHEN THE SCREEN IS OFF. I WILL HAVE THE HEAT SET TO 70 BUT IT FEELS LIKE I PRESSED THE AIR CONDITIONING BUTTON ( IHAVE NOT AND CHECKED BY PRESSING THE AIR CONDITIONING BUTTON). WHILE OTHER TIMES, I WILL HAVE THE AIR TEMPERATURE SET TO 62 AND IT FEELS LIKE I'VE TURNED IT UP TO 85 DEGREES.

THE KEYLESS ENTRY FOB IS SLIGHTLY SENSITIVE. I FINANCED THE CAR ON 3/10/2020. AFTER TAKING A NAP UPON LEAVING THE VACCINATION CLINIC FOR TETNA ADULT SHOT, I SLEPT FROM AROUND 6PM-142AM IN A WOODED AREA PARKING SPOT AT A LOCAL PARK AND WHEN I WOKE UP, MY CAR DOORS WERE UNLOCKED AND MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WAS OPEN A LITTLE AND I HAD IT RAISED AND WAS SURE TO LICK THE DOOR PRIOR TO GOING TO SLEEP. THEN ON 3/11/2029, I WENT TO THE CONVENIENCE STORE FOR A PIT STOP WHEN I ARRIVED BACK TO THE CAR, THE TRUNK WAS OPEN AND WHEN I GOT OUT IF THE CAR I WAS SURE TO LOOK AT IT WHILE HITTING THE LOCK AND PLACED THE KEY IN MY POCKET.
THE RADIO TURNS OFF AND ON BY ITSELF WITHOUT THE CAR BEING ON. I HAVE WALKED UP TO THE CAR TO HEAR IT PLAYING MUSIC. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY DRIVING, NOT DRIVING, AND WITH NO POWER TO CAR. I AM WORRIED ABOUT MY BATTERY DRAINING. ALSO, THE AIR CONDITIONER DISPLAY IS BLANK FROM TIME TO TIME. ONLY THE ORANGE LIGHTS ON THE BUTTONS ARE LIT UP. SOMETIME IF I RESTART THE CAR, IT WILL COME BACK ON AS IF IT IS RESET, OTHER TIMES IT DOES NOT HELP. THE DISPLAY SCREEN ABOVE THE AC CONTROL PANEL FREEZES ALONG WITH THE DISPLAY IN BETWEEN THE SPEEDOMETER FROM TIME TO TIME. IT SEEMS AS IF THE COMPUTER SYSTEM DOES WHAT IT WANTS TO AND WHEN IT WANTS. I HAVE NOT HAD THE CAR FOR 6 MONTHS AND IT'S ALREADY GIVING ME PROBLEMS. IT WAS PURCHASED AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER 2019 FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP, BRAND NEW WITH 4 MILES ON IT.
Mileage: 4,000
EVERYTIME I DRIVE ABOUT 4 MILES THE FRONT RADAR SENSOR GETS DISABLED AND DISPLAYS A WARNING, THIS DISABLED THE CRUISE AND TURNS OF AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR ME TO DRIVE WITH, I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND ITS STILL HAPPENING, THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY FIXED IT BUT DID NOT

I FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY, MADE A POLICE REPORT. TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS AT THE DEALER ASKING IT THERE WAS ANY RECALLS BECAUSE MY SENSOR LIGHTS COMES ON WHEN NOTHING IS IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. THAT THE RECALL ON THE FRONT SENSOR WAS FOR THE NISSAN ROGUE WHERE THE VEHICLE BRAKES ON ITS OWN.

THIRD TIME BRINGING MY VEHICLE IN 5/29/19 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECK WAS DONE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY BATTERY WAS LOW CRANK AS WELL. TOLD ME IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD NOW AND THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE DASH CLUSTER AND BATTERY. THE DEALERSHIP (HARBOR NISSAN) WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR HAD MY CAR FOR A MONTH (THEY GOT ME INTO A RENTAL CAR THE WHOLE TIME)SO I GOT IT BACK ON 6/28/19 AFTER PARTS WERE REPLACED. NOT EVEN A MONTH OF HAVING MY CAR BACK IT DOES IT AGAIN ON 7/23/19 MY SERVICE ADVISOR WAS TOLD THE CAR MIGHT NEED A HARNESS AND I CALLED 7/27/19 MY SERVICE ADVISOR WAS NOT IN AND THEY TOLD ME I COULD PICK MY CAR UP THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO DO IT FOR THEM. BUT WHEN THEY HAD IT FOR A MONTH IT WAS A SAFETY HAZARD?? NOW ITS NOT? THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR OVER AND HOUR OR TWO. IT HAPPENS ON HIGHWAY AND CITY.

I PURCHASE 2019 NISSAN SENTRA ON 11/6/2019 WITH 15 MILES AT NISSAN OF MUSKOGEE. SINCE PURCHASE THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB) SYSTEM DEACTIVATES AND SHOWS A WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD 'FRONT RADAR UNAVAILABLE DUE TO OBSTRUCTION.' A CRASH ICON ALSO ON DASHBOARD AT ALL TIMES. NO CRUISE CONTROL. THE CAR IS OUT OF BALANCE. THE SENSOR COMES ON AT ALL TIME WETHER OR NOT THERE ARE OTHER VEHICLE NEAR THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT ALLEGES THAT I AM THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THE PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. I BROUGHT IT IN TO SERVICE. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE BARELY LOOK AT THE CAR NOR CHECK CODES. THE BALANCE IS WORSE. THIS IS CAUSE BY A FAULTY DEFECTIVE RADAR SENSOR IN THE FRONT GRILL. SERVICE IS NOW WAITING FOR PARTS THAT NISSAN CAN'T GET ANYWHERE.
