The car will not start using push to start with the brake pedal depressed. The car is an automatic and the problem is due to a faulty stop light switch. The safety concern is that the brake lights are not functioning correctly and is a safety concern. This seems to be a common problem and the car is less than 2 years old.

While driving the vehicle, notification of "feb: unavailable front radar obstruction" comes on and stays illuminated for upwards of 5 to 10 minutes before turning off. This occurs when there are no vehicles in front of mine and no road hazards that would have triggered it to turn on.

I purchased a new 2018 nissan, the front end collision sensor is alarming and has ever since the car was new. I have taken it to two different dealers and they have referred me to nissan and say that i should wait for the recall. I think this is unacceptable as my car is not safe with the front end collision not working properly. Please help me fix this problem. As i am driving down the road, the sensor alarms and…

This sensor controls the (aeb) automatic emergency braking. Nissan has acknowledged this issue in several cars but no recall has been issued. This vehicle is my work vehicle and my personal nissan pathfinder has already had the part…
