I JUST PURCHASED A 2018 NISSAN MURANO PLATINUM "AS IS" WITH NO WARRANTY. AFTER DRIVING I AM NOW NOTICING A BEEP AND MESSAGE ACROSS DASH THAT SAYS "UNAVAILABLE FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTED." CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT EVEN ON. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND IT IS A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL NISSAN MODELS. I AM SO FRUSTRATED NOW. I AM AFRAID TO USE CRUISE CONTROL WHICH I LIKE TO USE FROM TIME TO TIME WHEN TRAVELING. IF THERE IS A FIX I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. THIS IS A PROBLEM NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT DUE TO A DEFECTIVE PART. NOT SURE WHERE TO GO FROM HERE OR WHAT TO DO.

WHEN ENTERING CERTAIN INTERSECTIONS, THERE IS ALMOST 100% PROBABILITY THAT I GET THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE: 'UNAVAILABLE FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION'. IT'S HAPPENING EVERY DAY ON THE SAME SPOTS AND THE NUMBER OF THESE SPOTS IS GROWING. THIS CAUSES THE RADAR TO BE NOT WORKING FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT A YEAR OR S…

WHILE DRIVING, A SAFETY LIGHT KEEPS COMING 'UNAVAILABLE FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION'. THIS HAPPENS EVEN WITHOUT ANYTHING BLOCKING THE RADAR. THIS ALSO CONTROLS THE CRUISE CONTROL AND IF NOT WORKING CC GETS DISABLED. IT ALSO CONTROLS EMERGENCY BRAKING.

Official recalls

19V807000 · Service Brakes, Hydraulic:antilock/traction Control/electronic Limited Slip

Nov 8, 2019

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Nissan Murano, 2016-2018 Nissan Maxima, and 2017-2019 Nissan Pathfinder and Infiniti QX60 vehicles. These vehicles were previously recalled and unrepaired, or inspected and determined to not need a repair, under recall number 18V-601. In addition, this recall expands the previous population. The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) actuator pumps may allow brake fluid to leak onto an internal circuit board.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: A brake fluid leak on the circuit board may result in an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.

Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ABS actuator, free of charge. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available, currently expected to be during summer 2020. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Note: If the ABS warning light remains illuminated for more than 10 seconds after engine start up, owners are advised to park the vehicle outdoors away from other vehicles or structures and to not drive the vehicle.

Sep 12, 2019

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Nissan Altima, Armada, Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Titan Diesel, Versa Note and Versa Sedan vehicles, as well as Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80 vehicles. Additionally included are 2019 Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.
