Yes Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes’ , front sensor failure light appeared and brakes failed. On two occasions, the brakes have failed when we are in the drive-through, causing us to rear end the vehicle in front of us. We had the car towed to a Nissan dealer. They were unable to re-create the problem as they did not take it through a drive-through or where they would be in close proximity of another car. After bringing it home, we drove it again no issues until we were in a drive through where the brakes failed as we were pushing on them. The light came on saying front sensor failure again we rear ended another vehicle.
THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING RANDOMLY KICKS IN AND THEN WILL RANDOMLY GO OFF AND THEN DISABLE CRUISE CONTROL.
VEHICLE DIDN'T WANT TO START, TOWED TO CLOSEST DEALER (SOUTH AUSTIN NISSAN) FOR REPAIR OF BRAKE SWITCH. THEY ALSO UPDATED FAULTY SOFTWARE.
HISSING NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL AREA WHEN IT'S DEPRESSED. THOUGHT IT WAS A BRAKE BOOSTER ISSUE AND NOTIFIED THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY. THE CORPORATE REP TOLD THE DEALER THAT IT IS COMPLETELY NORMAL BECAUSE THE BOOSTER IS NOT MANUAL BUT ELECTRICAL. THE NOISE CONTINUE TO COME FROM THE PEDAL AREA LIKE A BIG RIG.
