Common Problem
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) Malfunction
One of the most frequently reported issues with the 2020 Nissan Sylphy is the malfunction of the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system. This problem often triggers a warning light and has been noted as a common issue across various Nissan models. Some users have experienced this issue intermittently, with the warning disappearing after restarting the car. The root cause seems to be related to glitches in the vehicle's computer system or issues with sensors and cameras.
Wiper Motor Issues
Another recurring problem involves the wipers, which may stop working intermittently or behave erratically during operation. This issue has been linked to a faulty limit switch within the wiper motor, necessitating a complete motor replacement as the switch is not available separately. Users have reported that the problem can recur even after repair.
Chassis Control System Error
The chassis control system error is another issue that some owners have encountered. It is typically resolved with a software update and is generally not considered severe. However, it is advisable to have it checked by a dealer to ensure there are no underlying issues.
Electrical and Sensor Malfunctions
There have been reports of electrical issues where all safety sensors, along with the radio, malfunction simultaneously. This problem tends to occur intermittently but can become constant over time. Checking the car battery, especially if it's the original one, might help resolve the issue as batteries tend to degrade over three to four years.
General Maintenance Advice
While specific problems have been noted, regular maintenance can mitigate some issues. For instance, ensuring timely oil changes and servicing the CVT fluid every 30,000 miles can maintain vehicle performance and longevity.
