Has anyone's front alert sensor gone off intermittently?

There is definitely an issue here. Mine is actually in the shop (has been for a few days) because the warning comes on all the time for no reason. It also displays 2 different "Malfunction" warnings and pretty much all other alerts come on as well. This includes the traction control warning, ABS, low tire pressure, and collision detection. The only way to get them to turn off is to turn off the car. As you can see in my pic (sorry for the wonky angle), temperature might also be a contributing factor. Unfortunately, this is not something I can really avoid living in the desert.

' Did you ever figure out what the problem was? I have this happening in my car as well.

Did you happen to figure out the cause of this? Its happening w/my car too.

Mine does it off and on. I called all 4 Nissan dealers within driving distance of my house and they all told me that blinding sun, heavy snow & rain, or ice can cause the sensors to glitch out. 3 of the 4 dealers offered to run the warranty diags on it but the dealer I bought my Kicks from wouldn't for some reason. I chose not to take the car in because I heard this sort of thing is common and generally not something that can be fixed if its nature causing the problem, which I suspect it is. My dad drives a 2021 Camry and he has issues with his sensors too, and he suspected nature to be causing his as well. We know people who make the Camry, because my parents have live 5 minutes from the Toyota factory and have for 26+ years. I've heard that that those sensors are just prone to the issues I mentioned due what they are. Nothing you can do about it but live with it.

mines been doing that as well as my traction control light going off and my crash detection. My kicks is currently at the dealership getting a diagnostic this entire week and ‘they can’t find a problem’ but it’s been coming on way more than it should and even when weather can’t be the cause. Nissan is aware of the glitch in their sensors, but refuse to take responsibility for it. Mine has caused the auto braking to enable MULTIPLE times and almost caused a few wrecks.
