Radar collision detection issues. Ever since I bought this car in 2017, we've been receiving periodic warnings "front radar unavailable due to obstruction" and it seems like the issue is getting worse. On a 2 hour drive on the interstate this past weekend, we would see the message over 10 times and this causes the cruise control to stop. This seems to most often occur if there is a vehicle in front of us that changes lanes. This issue also occurs driving around town, it's not only on the highway. This is really impacting our safety because the warning message scares whoever is driving that something is wrong. I have told nissan of this issue as early as summer 2019 and they made adjustments, but it isn't fixed. They are not willing to cover this under warranty. Please help. I don't know what to put in the 'when did this happen' field because this has been an ongoing issue.

My car has a front emergency braking system. This system is located at the front of the car, in lower grille. The sensor detects when a vehicle in front of you has stopped. As you get closer to the vehicle, if you do not stop, the car will sound a 3-beep alert notifying you to stop. If you still do not stop, the car will apply the brakes and force the car to stop to prevent an accident., I was driving home, when the 3-beep alert sounded, and the dashboard display started flashing red and white lights. A message on the display stated that a crash was imminent. Then the brakes engaged suddenly, and the car almost came to a complete stop in the middle of the street. The brakes engaged so hard and so quickly, that it threw me forward in the seat. At the time, there was no car in front of me coming to a sudden stop and no crash was imminent. Nissan is aware of this issue, and there are class action lawsuits, but nissan won't issue a recall. I've taken my car to a nissan dealerships and they won't replace the sensor. The dealer told me my sensor bracket was slightly bent, but the vehile was bought new and never in an accedent I asked if the braket was installed form the factory slightly bent they said it could of been? This doesn't explain what happened. According to the owner's manual, if the sensor bracket was bent it should never of worked from the start??? , if this were the case, there will be a message on the dashboard display indicating the sensor is obstructed or not funtioning, and the front braking system will turn off. This was the 3rd time it has happened . I decided to get another unbiased opinion from a non nissan dealer repair shop. They ordered a bracket from nissan and showed me that it was not bent that nissan has an issue with the crash sensor and is looking for any way to deny the repair. The shop owner told me to call nssan and have a rep comeout

My automatic braking system and cruise control disables itself. Component from bosch. The flaw in the radar unit allows the sensor to frequently deactivate itself, disabling cruise control and emergency braking. When the sensor turns itself off, drivers are seeing a warning in the dash that says, 'front radar unavailable due to obstruction.' this happens multiple times in a given day.

Intermittent 'front radar obstruction' warning light and immediate disabling of the predictive forward collision warning, forward emergency braking and cruise control systems. This is a safety issue, particularly for the rapid deceleration that can occur in heavy traffic when using cruise control.

The cruise control system fails - it is turns off automatically. The error message on the dashboard display say's the front radar system stopped working. This happens arbitrarily and without prior warning regardless of day or night or weather conditions. The system will be operable again in 10 or 15 minutes. My car is still under warranty. I reported the problem to nissan. They said it is a known problem and they are researching the cause. However nissan didn't alert me to the problem. I have no evidence nissan is really working on a solution. This is a safety issue because when the radar system stops the cruise control system shuts down and the car begins to decellerate. Under certain conditions this may startle or confuse the driver and lead to panic or abrupt manuvers.
