2017 Nissan Pathfinder

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STOPPED INDEPENDENTLY WITH THE FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKES AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN TO THE RESIDENCE HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START THE NEXT MORNING. DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO ORR NISSAN OF WICHITA (10625 E. KELLOGG DR, WICHITA, KS 67207) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY EMERGENCY BRAKING KEEPS SENDING ME ALERTS WHEN THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME. I'M GETTING MESSAGES THAT THE SYSTEM IS DISABLE BECAUSE OF AN OBSTRUCTION. THIS HAPPENS A LOT OF TIMES WHEN IT'S RAINING OUT. I HAVE OPEN A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CASE NUMBER 32896677. THE DEALER TELLS ME RAIN CAN EFFECT THE SYSTEM. WHEN THE WEATHER IS BAD IS WHEN YOU NEED THE SYSTEM THE MOST.
