| May 2022 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | We purchased this vehicle in April of 2019. Since it was purchased there has been 20 or more cases of the Automatic Emergency Braking activating itself, without any visible trigger. We have been to the dealership multiple times and they told us it wasn’t a problem. Finally after the fourth or fifth time we were told there was a “service bulletin” to replace one of the sensors, but were also told “Nissan would not admit a problem, so don’t expect a recall.” My wife has almost been run over by 18-wheelers because of this system. One truck actually had to hit a ditch and damage his bumper to avoid her. This has happened at many different speeds, in many different road conditions, and in many different weather patterns. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Apr 2022 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | While driving at about 40 mph in the city the Automatic Emergency Brake gets engaged and i heard few beeps, the light of the AEB lit up in the dashboard and the car slows down suddenly.

Nissan did make a software modification in 2019 and it did slow down on the number of times this issue occurred but it still happened here and there. I noticed that only thing that was happening was the beeping but the car never broke down the speed. Yesterday 4/26/2022 it happened again where the car broke down the speed with no obstacle in front, just like it used to happen in 2018. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Feb 2022 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | When diving and accelerating the speed stays between 25-40 miles and will not go over 40. It seems like I have cruise control on but I don't. I have to pull over and turn the vehicle off. When I start it again it works fine. It has happened at least 10 times already. Also, when I accelerate from a stop sign the vehicle hesitates to respond, several seconds later the vehicle was fine. Turning the vehicle on/off seems to fix the problem. I'm scared to drive on the freeway. Please fix this issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
