Owner Complaints (10)
The front end collision warning goes off less than a mile after I begin driving. It was repaired after an accident (unrelated) & was fine until my state had snowfall that covered the road, that's when it began again! My cruise control suddenly stopped working & the metal piece that props up the hood snapped off when checking the oil, luckily I seen it snap and was able to jump back!

I leased a 2018 nissan altima (from nissan) on 3/24/18. Approx 12k miles into leasing the vehicle I had a brake light switch/brake lamp switch (brake switch) go bad. The vehicle is a push to start vehicle and the brake switch is a senor above the brake that when you press on the brake, it tells the vehicle that your pressing the brake to start the vehicle.

Automatic emergency breaking turns off constantly. When a truck towing a trailer passed me a light came on and a message flashed on the dash. It said that the radar was unavailable because of an obstruction.

This is an issue that has been continuously happening since I purchased the vehicle with about 2500 miles on it, it currently has about 6500 miles on it. The emergency braking system continues to turn on and off at various times but has continued to get worse over the few months that I have owned it.

A lag when accelerating from a stop. Step on the accelerator and feel a slight clunk before I start to move. Turning off overdrive seems to give a more solid start with not so much hesitation.

The automatic emergency braking (aeb) system stops working. The dashboard message says the front sensors are being obstructed but they are not. This seems to be a widespread issue with this sensor on nissan vehicles.

After 10 min of operation and at a regular speed in a frw 55 MPH the collusion sensor comes up stating that there is no warning if a car is too close to the front of vehicle. Cruise control doesn't work and appears that works with the collusion sensor.
