Having issues with my brake switch. I’ll press on the brakes but it won’t appear as if i’m pressing it which makes it hard for me to start my car. I have to wiggle the brake and press it numerous times for the brake lights to engage.
On 05/03/24; my CVT failed in my 2019 Nissan Sentra. From 05/03-06/07 Manchester City Nissan had my vehicle. As there were issues fixing my CVT that was blamed on paperwork. Upon picking up my vehicle I noticed there was a brake issue. As the brakes don't push back when needing to use them. No lights on. Replaced tires, brakes and rotors. Still an issue. Shop believes it is my ABS that is faulty/failed. If I encounter the need to brake quickly; this can result in a serious collision.
I keep having issues with AEB system. The emergency braking system that is supposed to sense cars in front of you and brake for you if you don’t brake yourself. I was doing about 70 mph no one else on road sunny day and my car starts beeping loudly and my brakes lock up for no reason. 3 times just today this happened. Oh and you can’t turn the system off so I just keep praying it doesn’t kill me one of these days on the interstate. Can’t believe this isn’t a recall probably won’t be until someone is seriously injured. My neck hurts from whiplash but can’t go to the hospital for that with the price of my insurance copay. Don’t buy a Nissan if you read this never buy a Nissan.
My vehicle is unsafe to drive as now its alerting me of Malfunction EBS. The alert is a constant beep and the EBS will start to activate when no vehicles are present to avoid a collision.
Driving 20 mph at night on a road that was recently torn up for road resurfacing. Manhole covers were raised but not contacting the underside of the car. I was attempting to drive so that I did not have to run over the manhole covers and the automatic braking system beeped twice, flashed an advisory on the dash, and engaged full anti-skid brakes to bring the car to a complete stop. Thankfully, there was not a vehicle behind me, or my pregnant wife & I would have definitely been rear ended. I suspect the radar system, mounted on the lower left of the front bumper, picked up the manhole covers and mistook them as another car. There is a way to turn off this system, but it resets each time you restart the car. I am looking to permanently disable this system, either by a fuse or by physically disconnecting the radar from the car.
When in reverse, brake pedal goes all the way to the floor when I push the pedal to stop. Also, once in forward, brake pedal went all the way to the floor when pushing the brake pedal to stop.

MY CARS AEB SYSTEM ENGAGES FOR NO REASON. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS DONE THIS AND NOW THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT AND ALARM STAYS ON CONTINUOUSLY. MY WARNING LIGHT SAYING UNAVAILABLE FRONT RADAR HAS BEEN ON SINCE THIRD MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT.. I'M SCARED TO PUT MY CHILDREN IN CAR DUE TO THE FEAR OF IT BRAKING SUDDENLY FOR NO REASON AND BRINGING MY CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP.
My insurance never covered the amount I was ensuring my car before because the recalls
MY CAR FREQUENTLY CHIMES WITH THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING / EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST AS THOUGH THERE IS A CHANCE OF A COLLISION. WHEN IT DOES THIS, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN FRONT OF MY CAR! WHEN LEAVING WORK 2 DAYS AGO, I STARTED TO CROSS A LITTLE BUMP IN THE ROAD THAT I CROSS DAILY WITH NO ISSUES; THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE HOWEVER, MY CAR DECIDED THAT IT WAS AN APPARENT COLLISION BECAUSE MY CAR CAME TO A DEAD STOP FROM ABOUT 15-20 MILES PER HOUR. FORTUNATELY MY HUSBAND AND I WERE BOTH WEARING OUR SEATBELTS, AND NO ONE WAS BEHIND US AS IT WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE SENSOR/RADAR FOR THE FORWARD COLLISION/EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST IS A HAZARD IN MY OPINION. THE CONCEPT IS FANTASTIC, BUT IF IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK PROPERLY, THEN IT NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM VEHICLES, OR AT LEAST BE ABLE TO BE DISABLED INDEFINITELY, NOT JUST WHILE YOU'RE OPERATING THE VEHICLE ONLY TO HAVE TO REMEMBER TO DISABLE THE FUNCTION NEXT TIME YOU'RE DRIVING.
FRONT RADAR SENSOR IS FAULTY. CAUSING EMERGENCY BRAKING FEATURE TO BECOME DISABLED.
FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION LIGHT ON NO AEB AVAILABLE WHILE DRIVING
