While driving and going down the highway my vehicles HUD and all electronics inside the vehicle will just randomly kick out momentarily for not no more the 30seconds, but the head lights stay one and the car still runs. It kicks the cruise control off and this just started happening.

Adaptive cruise control problems by model year
What owners say
When traveling more than 10-15 miles, the FEB/ICC warning comes on without notice or reason, disables the cruise control and slows the car suddenly. There is no way to reset it without stopping the vehicle and restarting it. Took Service Bulletin NTB19-033a to the Action Nissan dealer in Nashville, TN. Despite it clearly indicating that my 2017 Nissan Pathfinder is covered, they claim it is not. This is a major safety issue that Nissan clearly has identified. It needs to be fixed.
Most notably, when I'm using adaptive cruise control, my cruise control disengages and my car alerts me that the feb [forward emergency braking] - aka - automatic emergency braking - is "unavailable" due to "front radar obstruction" this happens at very random times, at least every other day, during normal highway and city driving. It is always a clear day, never a drop of rain, not even running over a random bump in the road or a pothole. Then randomly, anywhere between what feels like 5 - 30 minutes after initial alert, the warning clears itself. I purchased the car used in july 2020 and this has been a constant annoyance ever since. I'm aware that other nissan models around the same year (2017) have been having the same issues with the sensor.
While driving with the cruise control on going 72 MPH the feb front emergency braking shut off and caused the cruise control to kick off almost causing a wreck due to the sudden decrease in speed the car behind me almost rear ended me. There is no way to disable the feb and still use cruise control.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 nissan pathfinder. While driving 55 MPH with the cruise control engaged, the vehicle decelerated and powered down in the middle of traffic. The contact placed the vehicle in neutral and coasted to the shoulder. The vehicle could not be restarted and was towed to casper nissan (111 se wyoming blvd, casper, wy 82609, (307) 462-5260). The dealer diagnosed that a new engine was needed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 46,000.
