User complaints and problems
Electrical Problems
- Emergency Brakes – Users found the Automatic Emergency Brake feature failing as it applied the brakes even while the cars around were far ahead. The car skidded and the users weren’t able to steer the vehicle, resulting in a collision. This was said to be an issue with the radar that needed to be reprogrammed or replaced.
- Fuse – Users found the car to not start in some cases, leaving the driver stranded. The dealers were contacted and they inspected to find one of the fuses in the fuse box to be blown. Replacing it fixed the issue.
- Back over prevention system – The car was being reversed but the user claimed the audible warning signals stopped working and that made things hard for the driver. Dealers stated that there is an issue with the sonar on the car. Some research showed that this issue has been there on a few previous year models for which, Nissan issued recalls. No help was given to the owner and Nissan hasn’t rolled out any recall for it yet.
Mechanical Problems
- Transmission – It was stated that the users were able to hear a mechanical noise while driving the car and upon close inspection, it was found to happen during the gearshifts. Switching from park to either driver or reverse was said to be too loud. Dealers were not able to identify the actual cause and the manufacturers were informed.
- Suspension – A user heard a pop noise while sitting in a parked car post which the rear of the vehicle lowered slightly. The car had to be towed to the mechanics, where it was stated that the pop was from the rear air suspension. The unit had to be replaced under warranty and they also mentioned there were no warnings displayed.
