My 2018 nissan sentra is having a problem with the (aeb) automatic braking system. I've had the car for 10 months and while im driving, I get a warning light indicating that the aeb has malfunctioned, followed by a constant beeping noise that doesnt go away unless I turn the vehicle off. The loud beep will keep going for as long as im driving, and the vehicle sometimes brakes on its own, which is scary, and dangerous.
