While driving my Nissan Altima in normal operation, the vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly stopped and applied the brakes without any input from me. This occurred without warning and created an extremely dangerous situation. There were no other vehicles, obstacles, or apparent reasons for the vehicle to engage any safety systems.

I have Nissan Altima 2019 SR. It has an automatic front emergency brake system that brakes when the car is close enough to save from an accident to occur. But it did the opposite means it risked my life by braking in the middle of the road in traffic even if no cars are in front of me.

My fiancé and I were driving late at night on a straight, one lane road going just over 40 MPH with NOTHING in front of us. For no reason the pre-collision front sensor went off indicating we had the potential of hitting the vehicle in front of us even though there was nothing there.

The car regularly automatically slams on the brakes for no reason when there is nothing ahead of me. While in parking garages, turning on divided highways and worst of all while crossing railroad tracks. Dealership just brushed off my concerns because it wouldn't do it for them, and I don't think they checked my car at all.

I was driving to work and all of a sudden the warning came on for the front radar malfunctioning. I have taken my car to the dealership where I get the oil changes and was told that Nissan would not cover it. I was told I needed a front distance bracket and quoted almost $800 for repair.

The forward AEB system warning light illuminated at 47,124 miles. I parked the car, turned it off and then restarted it and the light remained off for about 5 miles before re-illuminating and remaining on continuously. While I was driving, the car began braking at random times when there was no vehicle in front of me, and would decelerate to 40mph sporadically.
