When the combination switch is used to actuate the windshield washer, the fluid continues to spray after it is released. Only pulling the switch down, and back up, will cause it to stop. This happens regardless of whether the vehicle is parked, or in motion. Occasionally the washers will spray upon starting the vehicle, only stopping with manipulation of the combination switch.

My car started showing a traction control light on the dashboard and my cruise control stopped working. I brought it to the dealer and they told me a brake sensor was bad so they went to fix that but it didnt fix the problem because i had no brake lights.

Model 2016 already needs the transmission replaced. Happens often - the dealers even stock it. Will only guarantee the work for one year, as this is a known issue with several class action lawsuits. Car stalls constantly, high and low speeds and must be pushed off the road. Had to tow it to the dealer.

There's a yellow dashboard light and a red airbag warning light that stays on constantly when operating the vehicle. The lights stay on when there's an adult in the seat, too. Nissan says it's a sign of a faulty ocs and sensors. I just found there was a recall for this and i'm not sure the 1st owners had it checked and fixed. I'm a 2nd owner. Either way, it's a safety issue and extremely important. Similar recall…

On my radio, it also has gps & backup camera at least once a week it turns off while i am driving then a few minutes later it turns back on and the radio goes full blast. I am assuming this is an electrical issue. It did it again 12/13/18. I am worried that the electrical for the whole car is going to shut off.

It happened on tuesday november 27 at 10pm in 20 degree weather. I had a panic attack trying to go from the front seat to back and back to front. I pressed my head so hard against the ceiling that i immediately got a migraine and…

I purchased my car in 2016 with only 10 miles on it from me driving off with it. I've replaced the battery twice. Ive had my transmission replaced which they didn't want to replace due to low noises it made if i drove over 10 mph. They refused to fix my car for three months because the check engine light wouldn't cut on from the noises it made. Now my car cranks but doesn't start. All maintenance is up to date and…

While braking the air conditioning shuts off. The dealer say they have "fixed" the problem twice and then on my 3rd attempt to have it fixed they informed me it is a "normal working condition" they then told me i was to be removed from their survey list because of a potentially bad review and then was told i couldn't bring the car back for this issue anymore.

Car feels like the engine starts and stops continuously and very fast when on highway going 60-75 mph, and happens more often with cruise control on. The speedometer bounces around like crazy from zero to bouncing pass my speed i'm driving at. This has been going on since i bought the car to currently. I pull over and let it rest, i didn't see complaints in past about this from others until now, so i thought i now…
