2018 Nissan Sentra owner complaints

The front radar is not working. We get an error saying 'the front radar is unavailable obstruction'. I've checked what I think it the radar module and it's not obstructed. I've also seen a ton of similar complaints about this issue.

I put my foot in gas pedal, goes all the way down, won't drive now.

Automatic emergency braking (aeb) system is malfunctioning, displaying the warning message 'front radar unavailable due to obstruction.' the warning will clear and reappear multiple time without any driver intervention during a single trip.

The engine will not crank when pressing the push-button ignition switch and applying the brake pedal. I took it to the Nissan dealership and they told me it needed a new stop lamp switch which is EXACTLY what the recall for other Nissans during this time frame is for: Make: Nissan Number: PM971 Title: Stop Lamp Switch Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign Date: 3/3/2021 Models: 2016-2019 Sentra Summary: Nissan is issuing a Voluntary Safety Recall on specific 2016-2019 Sentra (B17) vehicles identified in Service Comm to address a stop lamp switch concern. The stop lamp switch on the subject vehicles may become contaminated with silicon off-gassing from silicon-based grease used in surrounding components (HVAC and brake booster clevis pin) in close proximity. Oxidation may occur at the switch co

The automatic emergency braking system is not working and the dash says “forward collision malfunctioning” with the master warning light on. The car did not brake however the aeb is not functioning.

CVT failed at 65000 miles. Extended warranty replaced it. Vehicle was very dangerous to drive as it was jerking, shuddering, refusing to accelerate, and stalled twice.

Transmission over heats. Transmission has a loud noise and drags since 60,000 miles

Transmission Replacement - The transmission system requires replacement due to issues identified during inspection, including judder in the CVT and auxiliary gearbox. Replacing the transmission can help address these concerns and improve the smoothn

The contact was unable to shift out of drive(D). The contact stated that he was able to manually push the vehicle out of the roadway with the assistance of bystanders. The vehicle was not drivable.

The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 113,000.

My 2018 Nissan Sentra is currently in the shop at my local Nissan dealership because it needs a transmission replacement. The car lurched ahead causing me to run into my garage door causing damage. It also while driving loses power, the rpm meter will drop for a few seconds and you will see and feel it re engage a few seconds later. It does this frequently at various speeds.

On 12/16/19 I reported an issue with the automatic brake system warning it's unavailable. I've had the vehicle in 3 times to fix the issue at metro Nissan in montclair california. They can't fix the problem and know about it from other vehicles. They have now chosen to blame me for the issue. This dealership is the worst possible. Nissan is well aware of the issue and doesn't have a fix. The sensor has been replaced, the sensor has been calibrated, etc. Problem is the system is going to cause an accident and possibly more. Nissan wake up and fix this problem for many of your car owners. Buy the cars back if you don't know how to fix it. Keep our safety priority #1. I've only had the car 3 weeks and it's been at metro Nissan the majority of the time and still broken. Since the dealer can no

Automatic emergency braking system sensor frequently lights up with a warning radar unavailable while driving on the highway and local streets. I just got this car and after one day I had to take it back to the dealer. First they said they would replace the sensor. After four days in the shop they said they cleaned the sensor and cleared the codes. They also calibrated the sensor. The next day it happened again twice. I have an appointment to take it back to the dealer in two days. In reading the NHTSA website there are many reports of this problem with this year and model car, with the forward collision avoidance system. Many owners have reported this issue. Nissan has failed to issue a recall or fix the problem. These cars are lemons. The failure can cause an accident or something a lot

Emergency breaking system sensor seems to say there is something obstructing front car its faulty/bad sensor just purchased vehicle.

My gas gauge said 60 miles until fill up, I ran out of gas with no warning, no check engine light and no gas light, in the middle of the street. I was not able to wheel it to the side as I was going uphill at the time and the steering went out. Traffic had to avoid hitting me as I was completely locked up. There is nothing previously wrong with the car.

The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Sentra. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V135000 (Exterior Lighting) and the vehicle was taken to the dealer for the recall repair; however, the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) remained illuminated after the repair. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where an unknown repair was completed but the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer. The contact stated that the recall remedy had failed to fix the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 105,816.

There is a recall on certain years of Nissan Altimas for a hood latch problem. My 2018 Nissan Sentra has the same hood latch problem that the 2018 Altima, i.e., when the hood is opened the primary hood latch does not reset, so when the hood is closed only the secondary latch is engaged and the hood remains slightly open. I have to use a screwdriver to reset the primary latch before I can fully close the hood.

When I open the hood, the hood release mechanism sticks in the open position. Closing the hood will not engage the primary lock, only the secondary latch. I need to physically reset the primary latch with a tool (screwdriver) to properly close the hood. If not completely latched the hood could open at high speeds, blocking the view and causing an accident. This vehicle has never been damaged. I have not had this problem looked at by a dealer or a mechanic as the vehicle is out of warrantee and I will most likely be charged a large amount to replace the entire release and latch mechanism to repair it.

Front radar system turns off and then resets for no apparent reason. Dash message is 'front radar unavailable due to obstruction'. It is tied into the automatic emergency braking system and intelligent cruise control. Happens when vehicle is in motion on varied roadways. There is no obstruction. *dt consumer stated he is cancelling request.*jb

Was involved in a front end collision, and the airbags did not deploy

I bought a 2018 Nissan sentry in november of 2018. In the past month the brand new car has not been starting. It has been leaving me stranded at work and at the store. I keep taking it to the dealer ship and they replace the brake switch and battery. However the car is still not starting on me. The dealership replace the brake switch again but now they are waiting for another part. This is very frustrating because it's a new car and to me everything in the car should be new.
