2022 Nissan Altima Brakes Problems

Your car's forward collision avoidance system is braking unexpectedly and without warning, even when no vehicles are in front of you. This has happened multiple times since you bought the car new in early 2022, including on city streets and in parking structures, and once caused a sudden stop that resulted in minor whiplash and nearly caused another vehicle to rear-end you. Additionally, your sensors are falsely detecting obstacles in the road when nothing is there. The issue likely requires the forward collision avoidance system and its sensors to be diagnosed and repaired or replaced by a Nissan technician.

Your car's brakes failed to stop the vehicle in your driveway, resulting in a crash into your garage door. This happened the day after a minor parking lot accident. Nissan is investigating the brake system before authorizing repairs, which may take 2-4 weeks. The issue likely involves inspection and repair of your brake system components.

Your car's automatic emergency braking system has activated unexpectedly 6 times on the highway since June 2022, which is extremely dangerous and frightening. Additionally, your transmission sometimes refuses to shift into drive. Your vehicle has been to the dealer 3 times for repairs and has been out of service for over 30 days, but the problems persist. The fix will likely require the dealer to diagnose and repair or replace the faulty emergency braking system and transmission components.

After your Altima had brake service performed, you noticed smoke coming from the driver's side rear wheel about two weeks later. An independent mechanic diagnosed a faulty rear brake caliper on the driver's side as the cause. The issue appeared at 55,000 miles and wasn't repaired at the time of the complaint.
