Safety is at risk for multiple reasons one because a month upon receiving this brand new vehicle with 40 miles on it I-??ve been experiencing malfunctioning problems. I am not able to receive a forward collision warning at times. I-??m not sure if these electrical problems also caused my battery to die a few weeks later. In these moments is the start of when the malfunction notification would appear daily. Two-?" The transmission has been having issues for a long time as well. My drives no longer have a smooth transition when I press the gas it stutters and will not accelerate immediately. The problem has been confirmed by an independent service center. I brought my car new once again so am very disappointed at how much needs to be worked on and do not want to purchase from Nissan ever again.

Everytime I turn my car on, there-??s a chance that some lights will turn on my dash for absolutely no reason..the car could be parked and getting warmed up and the traction control light, parking collision warning, and front collision light all turn on simultaneously. I have included a photo to get a Better picture! only way for me to get rid of them is by turning my car off for 5 minutes then turning it back on again. It been a real inconvenience. Not to mention when those lights turn on it means I can-??t Parallel park anywhere because my rear parking assist prevents me from backing up, because it -??thinks-?? something is in the way-??ugh! Not only that but everytime I play music my Nissan Connect shuts of in the middle of my drive then resets and starts playing music again. If you guys have any answers for me please let me know I bought this car in August of 2021

The fuel doesn't pump correctly as it should. The fuse burnt out. The automatic braking randomly activates for no apparent reason while driving. It also doesn't activate at all. The front end of the car lifts upward like a wheelie from a stop light. There was smoking and burning smell from under the hood.

The screen for the radio won't turn on sometimes when the car is on. I have to drive a couple miles before it works leaving me without gps and radio. Its happened about a dozen times since ownership.
