• Recall 2019459 [Canada]: Visual system
  Issue: on certain vehicles, the rear view camera system does not return to the default setting when the transmission is shifted to reverse. This could cause a reduction in rear visibility if a driver had previously adjusted the camera display. Canadian regulations require that the rear view image returns to its original setting each time the camera is turned on. Safety risk: reduced rear visibility could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: the company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to update the software for the rear view camera.

• Pedestrian alert sounds investigation # DP22005

  Nhtsa received a petition on or about july 18, 2022, requesting that federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the united states. The petition can be reviewed at nhtsa.Gov under odi number 11486072.Fmvss 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 kg or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after march 1, 2021.The petitioner asserts that hybrid and electric vehicles to which the standard does not apply should be found to contain a safety defect. In support of the petition, the petitioner includes findings contained in a bill introduced in the house of representatives in 2009, the pedestrian safety enhancement act of 2009, h.R. 734, 111th cong. (2009). A related bill, the pedestrian safety enhancement act of 2010, became law in january 2011 (pub. L. 111-373). The petitioner requests that nhtsa require all electric and hybrid vehicles comply with fmvss 141, regardless of production date.The defect petition has been opened to evaluate the issue and determine whether to grant or deny the petition.The associated product list is not exhaustive and may contain vehicles that are equipped with pedestrian alert sounds.

I was driving alone at 4:20pm at about 30 mph, with no other cars or pedestrians around when the brakes suddenly activated, and the accelerator went to idle. The braking lasted about one second and did not stop the car completely. This occurred on a city street. These events have been happening several times a month.

Front driver side door started sagging again, same issue as previously reported under # 11308649. Taken to the dealer today, they adjusted the "door striker". As reporter previously, there maybe a structural issue with the door striker being too fragile or too thin.

Was driving at approx. 30 mph alone on a local highway with no traffic around, no pedestrians or obstructions in the road, when the accelerator disengaged and the brakes came on. The braking only lasted about one to two seconds and did not stop the car. A triangular warning sign appeared on the dash during the braking, and went off when the brakes released. I believe the problem is a malfunction of the forward collision warning system.

Backup camera periodically fails to produce feed, resulting in black screen when vehicle is in reverse (though backup turn guidance lines still appear). Slamming trunk door or pressing on the camera module itself sometimes resolves issue but can only be done from outside the vehicle and does not always fix the issue. This is separate from the existing recall in regards to the software issue. Dealership has inspected vehicle and not found any wiring issues and noted that this is not related to the software issue in the existing recall. Cannot reliably reproduce but seems to occur roughly once a month or more often. Possibly occurs from opening and closing trunk door though issue is not noticed until next time the car is operated and put in reverse. Turning vehicle off and then back on does not resolve issue. Backup camera turn guidance lines continue to appear even if no backup camera feed appears (black screen) which seems to indicate an issue with the camera module itself rather than the display module or software. This has been an issue since the first year of vehicle ownership but have not been able to fix/diagnose as it has not occurred while at dealership or other repair facility. *tr

On friday, 02/07/2020, the front driver side door no longer closed correctly on this car. The car was taken to a nissan dealer where an "adjustment" was made. Later that day, the door would no longer close again. On monday, 02/10/2020 the car was taken to a nissan dealer, and another adjustment was made. The dealer advised that "no weight" should be put on the door even though this hasn't been an issue before. I believe that there maybe a manufacturing defect inherent in the hinging mechanism of this model which leads to gradual weakening of the hinge leading to a door not being able to close properly. This may be related to an existing nhtsa id # 10143486 (ntb18-042).
