i should not wven be here posting this as who buys a brand new car and gets caught with so many problems.

Anyway, the problem on this occasion is, the parking sensors cameras are going off like a frog in a sock!
It’s done it since day one on Qasqhai 2017 series 1
But this is also happening (not as bad on our new qashqai 2017 series 2
Video link included.
This is a mild version of today, traveled around 40kms and went off around 15 times, as you can see, at times we are moving (low speed)
It does it regardless if maps are on or radio.
Cars clean, 1000kms on clock, done since day one.
Would love to know if anyone else is experiencing this fault

Mine does this regularly too, for no apparent reason. Does do it more when its wet which I guess is water on the sensor.

Search for it on this site, well documented, it’s water inside the sensor usually from washing the car with a jet washing, I had it, new sensors fitted by Nissan and it never happened again. Never jet wash the front sensors! Lesson learned!

I've already learnt my lesson with Nissan. I've read about water in sensors but mine do it ages after washing, front and back. Do it when it rains. I've got used to it.

Thank you

this has indeed faulted soon after a was by the dealer but also when completely dry for days too.

I’m really amazed at how many faults these cars have, do Nissan not quality check cars before going out!!!
