Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report
- Owners report the automatic emergency braking system activating suddenly with no obstruction present, sometimes at highway speeds, causing hard stops or loss of control.
- Some describe the forward collision warning sensor going out of calibration after minor bumps in the road, which they say made the system unreliable afterward.
- Several complaints describe the AEB system failing to engage during an actual collision, with the emergency brake not applying despite the driver using the standard brake.
- Owners mention a warning malfunction light combined with front collision and AEB alerts appearing together, sometimes tied to radar-blocked or laser-beam error codes.
- A few reports describe difficulty starting the vehicle linked to a collision sensor malfunction or the brake pedal not registering as depressed.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Nissan Altima, Armada, Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Titan Diesel, Versa Note and Versa Sedan vehicles, as well as Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80 vehicles. Additionally included are 2019 Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Risk: The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.
