Electrical System Faults
A variety of faults with the electronics have been flagged by Nissan, most notably with speed control and the brakes. In terms of braking, drivers are experiencing abrupt breaking without prompt. The system is designed to stop in time and avoid collisions, but it appears to be defective as it malfunctions and comes in to play when there are no collision risks.
Engine Faults

Cooling Exhaust System
Nisan has been experiencing problems with the exhaust systems in many of its cars going back to 2004.
