The Infotainment System screen is black and doesn't work. This poses a safety hazard as the navigation is inoperable; handsfree calls cannot be made while driving, which is required by law, since bluetooth is inoperable; and the back-up camera works intermittently and a person or another car could be hit while I'm backing up the vehicle.. The problem appeared quickly without warning in late January/early February 2023. I immediately took the SUV to the dealership on February 3, 2023 where it was confirmed that the Infotainment System does not work and the service manager advised that it cannot be fixed.

Four separate times as I was driving a warning appeared that said " front radar unavailable due to obstruction". I am under warranty, took to coggin nissan @ the avenues jacksonville fl. They are aware of faulty sensor problems but refused to fix the issue stating that they did not see the warning when they drove it and their antiquated computer checker could not find a problem. They kept my car for 5 hours and did not replace the faulty sensor that nissan corp is totally aware of. This dealer said they won't get reinbursed from nissan for the part unless I can prove that I am receiving these messages. That is their way out of having to fix the problem. I am afraid to drive my car now and only have 15,930 miles on it ! Many nissan models have this faulty sensor. They also did not fix the problem with the radio/navigation screen freezing and turning all black. Same excuse that their computer checker can't "duplicate" the problem. There is a definite issue as I have discovered after researching nissan issues, the sensor is randomly deactivating itself and nissan is aware it is a problem with the third party component from bosch, but will not issue a recall.
