AEB light blinks randomly (but not illuminated steadily). Dealer has cleared numerous times in the 17,000 miles since new purchase but I still experience this dash light blinking. Dealer has told me this is normal due to road conditions. I'm irritated that this dash light is even installed for me to ignore it blinking while I'm driving. Why Nissan? Why can't this feature removed or turned off permanently? When would I even know that my vehicle has a real problem indicated by the AEB blinking dash light; which of course based on dealer lack of information would occur AFTER warranty has expired.

My vehicle has not been at the dealership twice and there only solution is to grease the …

At around 9000 miles, the dealership had to replace the front rotors and brakes due to rotors cracking and warping. Now at 22,000 miles I’m having the same issue and I only do normal driving. There is obviously something wrong with the breaking system in the front of this vehicle. when I press the brakes, the steering wheel shakes.

Transmission down shifts hard sometimes. Notice more when coming off highway and making exits slowing down.
