I have a 2017 Nissan Altima and the ABS light comes on and off. I reported the issue to Nissan but I was told that because my car was not listed in the campaign there was nothing that they could do.

My 2017 Nissan Altima that currently has 35,000 simply lost all power. I couldn't use the fob key to open the door, there were no lights, no radio, nothing. Because it is still under manufacturer warranty, I had it towed to the dealership and left it with them for two days for them to figure out what's wrong. They weren't able to specifically identify what was wrong. The car eventually started once they hooked it up to the diagnostic computer. The lights came on and the car alarm was activated. The mechanics were totally dumbfounded by the events. They couldn't tell me what was the reason for the car losing all power. Two days leading up to the car losing all power, I noticed that while driving at a speed that is with the flow of traffic, if for whatever reason I have to slow or come to a complete stop, the car shutters. It felt as if the car was about lose power and shutdown. I had a similar experience with my 2011 Nissan Altima. It actually shutdown a couple of times in the middle of traffic a couple times. The problem was fixed with a recall that updated some sort of software for that car and after that update I never had the problem again. I gave that car to my parents and they have never experienced it shutting now. The problem that I have been experiencing with the 2017 car is identical to the problem I had with the 2011 Altima. It is flat out dangerous and I am concern it could cost me my life.

The front emergency braking (Feb) warning light comes on and off randomly while driving. The warning states, " front radar unavailable due to obstruction". this has occurred while driving on city streets, short and long distance driving, as well as on the highway and while turning. This was especially concerning when it happened while making a turn. The warning went off in the middle of making a turn and it was disorienting as it was completely unexpected.. this warning now goes off randomly on a daily basis and I just bought the car 2 weeks ago.
