5-13-2019 (5 AM) I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. THE AEB (AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM) WAS ACTIVE. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION UNTIL IMPACTING A MERCEDES. I WAS ON THE "MAZE" I-880 (FREEWAY) AND CHP ARRIVED AT 5:25 AM AND A FIELD REPORT FILE WAS FILE AND I WILL CONTEST IT. SEE ATTACHMENT. THERE IS A PREPARE DOCUMENT EXPLAINING. I SAW NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH DURING MOTION OR CRASH TIME. DRIVING ULTIMATELY A DASH RED INDICATOR CAME ON. AT THE TIME I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THAT TO THINK. UPON RETURNING HOME IT SAID THE CAR MIGHT SUDDENLY STOP. RESEARCHING I FOUND A WAY TO TURN OFF THIS FEATURE. BUT EVERY-TIME ONE TURNS ON THE IGNITION, THIS SWITCH RESETS ITSELF... THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN IT COMPLETELY, BUT OTHER SAFETY FEATURES DO. I FIND THIS ODD AND PROBLEM UNTIL CAR IS REPAIRED. I BELIEVE THIS SYSTEM FAILED TO OPERATE, BUT EVALUATION IS DIFFICULT. I LIKE THE BLACK BOX RECORDER TO BE DOWN LOADED. I FOUND A PERSON WHO CAN DO THIS, BUT HE CAN NOT EVALUATE THE DATA. DOES THE NHTSA HAVE THIS SKILL? I BELIEVE MY START OF THE ART CAR COULD TELL US MORE. PRESENTLY PATHFINDER SL OWN BY [XXX] IS AT JIM BONE NISSAN SANTA ROSA WAITING FOR A PART. I WILL ATTACH TWO FILES CONTAINING ALL RELATED INFORMATION. I AM AWARE AFTER THIS ACCIDENT THAT THERE IS AN EFFORT TO RECALL PATHFINDER SL CONCERNING THIS SENSOR AEB. THANK YOU.

Official recalls
219V807000 · 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.
19V654000 · Back Over Prevention: Sensing System: Camera
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.
