My vehicle was in motion on a city street. i went to make a turn because of a curve and my steering wheel and brake would not work. my emergency brake system (which is suppose to stop my vehicle before impact, did not deploy. i ran straight into a stone wall and fence. i received a recall letter in the mail about the back sensor, but my sensors were working up until my accident. my vehicle was deemed totalled. it was not raining, i was not speeding, and when the police came out to do an investigation, they could only determine that it was a mechanical problem. why did the sensor not work? why didn't my cars emergency brake system not work? now i'm having to get a new vehicle without even knowing why the safety systems put in place did not deploy. thank god my son was not in the car and no one else was injured.

While driving on the highway, during the morning, my car activated the brakes on its own, this is the second time this happens the first time i took it to the dealer and asked for the sensors to be removed, and kept it for a whole day and apparently nothing was done, secondly the (front radar obstruction) is becoming annoying. another of the issues i encountered with this my altima is the shifting, from 2nd to 3rd gear it feels as if the gears were stuck, also took it in the dealer and they said this could not be true because my altima doesn't have a regular transmission it has a band, so i responded, you know more than me, just please make a note of my issue and i don't want to be stuck with a lemon, i am sure i'm not the only one that has encountered these issues
