The forward looking sonar sensor turns off after the first 2 miles, which in turn deactivates the adaptive cruise control and the automatic emergency braking system. I have learned that this is a widespread problem on many Nissans, including the Rogue and Murano. The dealership said it was recalled on the Rogue, but not on the Murano, so it would cost thousands to replace.

AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM AND CRUISE CONTROL WILL STOP WORKING. ON AVERAGE IT HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY 20 TO 25 MILES AND REMAINS OFF FOR 2 TO 3 MINUTES. IT DOES NOT OCCUR AT REGULAR INTERVALS THOUGH, THIS IS JUST THE AVERAGE. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET NISSAN TO REPLACE THE SENSOR WHILE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THEY DID NOT WANT TO AND FINALLY WHEN THEY AGREED THEY SAID THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER DUE TO HIGH DEMAND SO I'M NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER WHO HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS. THE SENSOR STILL DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY AND HAVING THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING/AUTOMATIC BRAKING NOT RELIABLE IS A SAFETY ISSUE. HAVING THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORK IS JUST AN ANNOYANCE. AT NISSAN'S SUGGESTIONS, I'VE CLEANED THE SENSOR MANY TIMES AND I'VE ENSURED THAT NOTHING IS BLOCKING THE SENSOR. IT IS SIMPLY A FAULTY, UNRELIABLE PART AND I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A NATIONAL RECALL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER 2 YEARS NOW. IT TOOK MANY MONTHS OF COMPLAINING AND SENDING THEM PICTURES OF IT NOT WORKING BEFORE THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR THE FIRST TIME. THAT FIXED THE ISSUE FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT NOW THE SECOND SENSOR ON THE CAR HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING FOR OVER A YEAR. I'M ATTACHING A COUPLE OF PICTURES FOR EXAMPLE. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED OVER A 100 TIMES TO ME THOUGH.
ADAS IS COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE. THE VEHICLE BREAKS UNEXPECTEDLY WITHOUT CAUSE OR WARNING. THE PROBLEM IS MOST COMMON WHEN CROSSING RAILROAD TRACKS. THIS PRESENTS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD TO MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. THE SYSTEM NO HAS NO FUNCTION AND I AM UNABLE TO UTILIZE THE MOST BASIC FEATURES, TO INCLUDE CRUISE CONTROL. THE ADAS SYSTEM LIGHTS ARE CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED ON MY DASH, EVEN AFTER ATTEMPTS TO RESET THE SYSTEM.
FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION WARNING COMES ON AND AND CRUISE WILL TURN OFF AND VEHICLE WILL START QUICKLY SLOWING DOWN. THIS HAPPENS IN BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. AFTER ABOUT 5 TO 10 MINUTES THE WARNING LIGHT GOES OFF AND I CAN RESET THE CRUISE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER BUT THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNLESS THERE IS A RECALL.
WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, THE ICC SYSTEM WILL BEEP, FLASH A WARNING MESSAGE AND TURN THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF AUTOMATICALLY. THE WARNING MESSAGE SAYS, "FRONT RADAR UNAVAILABLE DUE TO OBSTRUCTION.' THEN, THE CRUISE CONTROL AND FRONT RADAR ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO USE UNTIL THE SYSTEM RE-SETS ITSELF OR THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. IT HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN ONE TRIP.
THE FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM LIGHT WILL RANDOMLY COME ON BOTH WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON OR NOT IN USE. IF THE CRUISE IS ON, THE CAR WILL AUTOMATICALLY SLOW. THE FEB LIGHT THEN DISABLES THE CRUISE CONTROL. VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AT ANY SPEED. *TR
RADAR COLLISION DETECTION ISSUES. EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2017, WE'VE BEEN RECEIVING PERIODIC WARNINGS "FRONT RADAR UNAVAILABLE DUE TO OBSTRUCTION" AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE ISSUE IS GETTING WORSE. ON A 2 HOUR DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE THIS PAST WEEKEND, WE WOULD SEE THE MESSAGE OVER 10 TIMES AND THIS CAUSES THE CRUISE CONTROL TO STOP. THIS SEEMS TO MOST OFTEN OCCUR IF THERE IS A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US THAT CHANGES LANES. THIS ISSUE ALSO OCCURS DRIVING AROUND TOWN, IT'S NOT ONLY ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS REALLY IMPACTING OUR SAFETY BECAUSE THE WARNING MESSAGE SCARES WHOEVER IS DRIVING THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG. I HAVE TOLD NISSAN OF THIS ISSUE AS EARLY AS SUMMER 2019 AND THEY MADE ADJUSTMENTS, BUT IT ISN'T FIXED. THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY. PLEASE HELP. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO PUT IN THE 'WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN' FIELD BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. *TR
KEEP GETTING A MESSAGE "UNAVAILABLE FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION." WHEN NOTHING IS BLOCKING IT.
FRONT RADAR SYSTEM SUDDENLY TURNS OFF WHEN IN MOTION, BE IT ON A HIGHWAY OR STREET. FRONT RADAR/SAFETY/FRONT EMERGENCY BREAKING SYSTEM/CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGES OR SHUTS OFF EVERYDAY/ IN MOTION AND DURING FF; 1. ON HIGHWAY AND ON CRUISE CONTROL ON A RANDOM AND FREQUENT BASIS WHICH ALSO DISENGAGES THE BREAKING ASSIST/FORWARD COLLISION BREAKING ASSIST 2. DURING SHARP TURNS 3. ON A HIGHWAY WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE OVERTAKES OR VISE VERSA 4. INADVERTENTLY SHUTS OFF FROM TIME TO TIME. MADE COMPLAINS ALREADY DURING THE 1ST AND 2ND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. 'DURING THE TIME OF 1ST VISIT/MAINTENANCE, CUSTOMER REP SAID THERE SYSTEM WAS DOWN AND I SHOULD GET BACK TO THEM. '2ND VISIT/MAINTENANCE, CUSTOMER REP SAID, THEY HAVE OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH SAME PROBLEM AND REPLACING THE SENSOR UNIT DOES NOT SOLVE IT, AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR A RESOLUTION, AND WILL KEEP IN TOUCH ONCE THEY HAVE THE SOLUTION. '3RD VISIT, THEY DID SOME TESTS AND CONFIRMED MY COMPLAINS, HOWEVER, CUSTOMER REP SAID THEY HAVE NO RECORDS OF MY COMPLAINS AND THE REASON WHY MY FRONT RADAR SENSOR IS NOT WORKING IS DUE TO THE INCURRED DAMAGES ON MY FRONT BUMPER ( FROM ON STREET PARKING). AND CUSTOMER REP SAID I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT OF THE SENSOR FOR $1400. SEEN A LOT OF SAME COMPLAINS ON FORUM WITH THE SAME DILEMMA.
MY CAR HAS A FRONT EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS SYSTEM IS LOCATED AT THE FRONT OF THE CAR, IN LOWER GRILLE. THE SENSOR DETECTS WHEN A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU HAS STOPPED. AS YOU GET CLOSER TO THE VEHICLE, IF YOU DO NOT STOP, THE CAR WILL SOUND A 3-BEEP ALERT NOTIFYING YOU TO STOP. IF YOU STILL DO NOT STOP, THE CAR WILL APPLY THE BRAKES AND FORCE THE CAR TO STOP TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT., I WAS DRIVING HOME, WHEN THE 3-BEEP ALERT SOUNDED, AND THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY STARTED FLASHING RED AND WHITE LIGHTS. A MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY STATED THAT A CRASH WAS IMMINENT. THEN THE BRAKES ENGAGED SUDDENLY, AND THE CAR ALMOST CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE BRAKES ENGAGED SO HARD AND SO QUICKLY, THAT IT THREW ME FORWARD IN THE SEAT. AT THE TIME, THERE WAS NO CAR IN FRONT OF ME COMING TO A SUDDEN STOP AND NO CRASH WAS IMMINENT. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, AND THERE ARE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS, BUT NISSAN WON'T ISSUE A RECALL. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIPS AND THEY WON'T REPLACE THE SENSOR. THE DEALER TOLD ME MY SENSOR BRACKET WAS SLIGHTLY BENT, BUT THE VEHILE WAS BOUGHT NEW AND NEVER IN AN ACCEDENT I ASKED IF THE BRAKET WAS INSTALLED FORM THE FACTORY SLIGHTLY BENT THEY SAID IT COULD OF BEEN? THIS DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED. ACCORDING TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL, IF THE SENSOR BRACKET WAS BENT IT SHOULD NEVER OF WORKED FROM THE START??? , IF THIS WERE THE CASE, THERE WILL BE A MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY INDICATING THE SENSOR IS OBSTRUCTED OR NOT FUNTIONING, AND THE FRONT BRAKING SYSTEM WILL TURN OFF. THIS WAS THE 3RD TIME IT HAS HAPPENED . I DECIDED TO GET ANOTHER UNBIASED OPINION FROM A NON NISSAN DEALER REPAIR SHOP. THEY ORDERED A BRACKET FROM NISSAN AND SHOWED ME THAT IT WAS NOT BENT THAT NISSAN HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE CRASH SENSOR AND IS LOOKING FOR ANY WAY TO DENY THE REPAIR. THE SHOP OWNER TOLD ME TO CALL NSSAN AND HAVE A REP COMEOUT
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL GRINDING NOISE AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ORR NISSAN OF WICHITA (10625 E KELLOGG DR, WICHITA, KS 67207, (316) 681-6900) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DISTANCE MONITORING SYSTEM FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: [XXX]. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,300.*PM ('PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).')*JB
MY MURANO STARTS SOMETIMES, AND SOMETIMES IT WON'T START AT ALL.NISSAN DIAGNOSTIC WAS ELETRICAL ISSUES, THEY CHANGED THE IPDM, CHANGED THE ELETRICAL DASHBOARD, IT WORKED FOR 11/2 WEEKS, AND WON'T START AGAIN. THIS CAR IS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. APPARENTLY NISSAN CAN'T FIX THIS PROBLEM. I'M DESPERATE FOR HELP, CAUSE I'M STILL PAYING FOR THIS CAR. IT'S CURRENTLY IN MY GARAGE, IT HAS STOPPED ME THREE TIMES ON THE ROAD, AND TWICE, IN MY GARAGE COULDN'T START
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING, THE WHEELS SPUN A LITTLE AND THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL MALFUNCTIONED. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO NOT ACCELERATE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL NEEDED TO BE DEPRESSED IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAVE SMITH NISSAN (6901 E SPRAGUE AVE, SPOKANE VALLEY, WA 99212, (509) 309-8911) WHERE THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED TO OPERATE IN THAT MANNER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDE CASE NUMBER: 37021429. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000. *TR CONSUMER STATED STABILITY CONTROL KILLS THROTTLE FOR TOO LONG.*JB
MY AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM AND CRUISE CONTROL DISABLES ITSELF. COMPONENT FROM BOSCH. THE FLAW IN THE RADAR UNIT ALLOWS THE SENSOR TO FREQUENTLY DEACTIVATE ITSELF, DISABLING CRUISE CONTROL AND EMERGENCY BRAKING. WHEN THE SENSOR TURNS ITSELF OFF, DRIVERS ARE SEEING A WARNING IN THE DASH THAT SAYS, 'FRONT RADAR UNAVAILABLE DUE TO OBSTRUCTION.' THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES IN A GIVEN DAY.
THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND LOST ABILITY TO STOP, STEER, AND RESTART. WHEN CAR CAME TO A STOP I TRIED TO START THE CAR AND IT STALL. CAR WAS FULL OF GAS AND ALL FLUID LEVELS ARE FINE. THE CAR HAS 20K MILES SO NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS EXIST. THIS HAPPENED IN LAS VEGAS WHILE THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 108. I SAW THE SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER NISSAN CARS IN LAS VEGAS PER YOUTUBE VIDEOS. PLEASE HELP! I AM AFRAID IT MAY DO SO AGAIN AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED TODAY AND AFTER LEAVING THE CAR PARKED FOR 2 HOURS STARTED WORKING FINE.
INTERMITTENT 'FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION' WARNING LIGHT AND IMMEDIATE DISABLING OF THE PREDICTIVE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING, FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING AND CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, PARTICULARLY FOR THE RAPID DECELERATION THAT CAN OCCUR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL.
THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM FAILS - IT IS TURNS OFF AUTOMATICALLY. THE ERROR MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY SAY'S THE FRONT RADAR SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING. THIS HAPPENS ARBITRARILY AND WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING REGARDLESS OF DAY OR NIGHT OR WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE SYSTEM WILL BE OPERABLE AGAIN IN 10 OR 15 MINUTES. MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO NISSAN. THEY SAID IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THEY ARE RESEARCHING THE CAUSE. HOWEVER NISSAN DIDN'T ALERT ME TO THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NO EVIDENCE NISSAN IS REALLY WORKING ON A SOLUTION. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN THE RADAR SYSTEM STOPS THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN AND THE CAR BEGINS TO DECELLERATE. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS THIS MAY STARTLE OR CONFUSE THE DRIVER AND LEAD TO PANIC OR ABRUPT MANUVERS.
C/S FORWARD COLLISION WARNING KEEPS PERIODICALLY COMING ON WITH NO OBSTRUCTION IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. WHEN WARNING OCCURS IT SHUTS OF THE CURSIE CONTROL. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY.
C/S FORWARD COLLISION WARNING KEEPS PERIODICALLY COMING ON WITH NO OBSTRUCTION IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. FIRST REPORTED JUNE 2018, REPLACED FAILED AGAIN, CURATING UNDER ENGINEERING REVIEW, AT THIS TIME WHEN IT ALARMS ALL TIME, ALSO CURSE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK, AND SIDE ALARM OFF AND ON. WHEN IN MOTION, WE HAVE INSURANCE DISCOUNT FOR THE COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM THAT IS NOT WORKING.
CONTINUALLY GETTING ERROR MESSAGE SAYING "UNAVAILABLE FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION". TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS FINE AFTER CLEARING THE CODE. DROVE AWAY FROM DEALER AND IT DID IT AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK AND THEY NOW SAY NISSAN IS "ENGINEERING" THE PROBLEM AND DON'T RECOMMEND A FIX. TOOK IT ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE AT 75MPH WHEN IT WENT OFF AND IT DISABLED MY CRUISE CONTROL. THAT WAS QUITE STARTLING AND IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE OFFICE AND FILED A CASE. THEY DON'T SEEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, YET I SEE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN I CHECK FORUMS ON THE INTERNET.
MY VEHICLE HAD A WARNING LIGHT COME ON STATING "FRONT COLLISION AVOIDANCE UNAVAILABLE". IT WOULD SHUT OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS DESIGNED. TOOK IT BACK IN SEVERAL WEEKS LATER DEMANDING THEY FIX THE PROBLEM. TOOK A TEST DRIVE WITH THE TECHNICIAN. PROBLEM DID NOT REOCCUR. I GOT OUT. THE TECHNICIAN STARTED THE CAR TO PULL IT IN THE SHOP AND THE WARNING CAME ON. THEY TRACED THE PROBLEM TO A SENSOR. THE SENSOR IS NOT AVAILABLE AND IS ON BACKORDER. IN THE MEAN TIME THE CRUISE DOES NOT OPERATE AND THE FRONT COLLISION AVOIDANCE DOES NOT WORK (WAITING 5 WEEKS NOW). CANNOT DEPEND UPON THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE EVEN THOUGH THEY ADVERTISE IT.
THE CAMERA ON THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS DAMAGED BY SOMETHING OFF THE ROAD CRACKING THE LENSES AND, AS A RESULT, CAUSING MY CRUISE CONTROL NOT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY AS WELL. I COULD NOT USE MY DRIVING SAFETY CONTROLS THAT CONTROLLED DISTANCES BETWEEN VEHICLES ALSO. THIS WAS A POOR DESIGN FLAW AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY ORIGINAL WARRANTY PERIOD OF 3 YEAR/36000 MILES. WE HAVE HAD THE ISSUE(S) FIXED BUT THERE IS NOTHING TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. WE WILL PROBABLY NOT BUY ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT AGAIN EVEN THOUGH THIS IS OUR SIXTH CONSECUTIVE PURCHASE FROM NISSAN.
