While entering the [XXX] going East (Home) exit [XXX] I needed to accelerate because of incoming vehicles to my left (Freeway) Instead of going fast my Nissan Pathfinder lose some power to accelarate and my speed reduce to 60 mph And I knew that something is very wrong there is a big trailer behind me, So at this point It felt like my SUV is not responding when I push the pedal, So I decided to pull over to the nearest exit which is [XXX] and end up pulling over near [XXX]. I turned off the engine hoping that the my SUV is going to be fine, But unfortunately the break is locked all of a sudden, To make the long story short it wont start, Here I am on the side of the freeway calling triple A , waited for almost 3 Hours, Thank God the triple A team helped me to calm down because at this point I have to take care of my safety first. I thank God that I was driving alone and not with my future wife and two children [XXX] and [XXX] old.

My rear camera display malfunctions and the screen goes black. I took it on to Nissan for repair and the problem is still not resolved. I contacted Nissan on several times and reported the issue to see if my vehicle is on recall list but it’s not. I believe it should be. I also have issues with my driver window. It gets stuck especially in the winters. I took my vehicle to Nissan to resolve the issue, and they said it’s glue to how the doors were made. I purchase the vehicle brand new. I feel Nissan rushed the car on me to get a sale and didn’t double check to see if the vehicle had any flaws. I would like to report a recall on my vehicle. When I looked online I noticed the rear view camera has been recalled and I wonder why my vehicle is not on the recall list. Nissan has a record of my vehicle being brought in to repair it.

Cruise control does not always brake when coming close to object. ABS, traction control and collision warning lights will come on periodically causes cruse control to not operate at all. First time it happened was Dec of 2020, was told by dealer it was faulty sensor and was supposedly fixed yet warning lights continue to come on frequently and cruise control will not work until car if shut of and back on. Since 2020 I have reported is to Keating Nissan a few times but they say they lights have to be on when I bring it it. When car shut off lights go off and don’t always come back on right away. Car has tended to speed up on its own when cruise control is on when no need to speed up on flat straight road stretch. Last time light illuminated was Feb 1st, Jan 14 2023 although it has happened periodically since 2021 after first incident in 2020. Also warning sensor for coming close to objects in front of you when parking does not alert at all.

The ICC gives false crash warnings and automatically brakes your vehicle while driving at highway speeds, which is a dangerous situation. I believe it to be a bad Bosch Radar Sensor which is faulty. Other owners have told me of their same problem.

WAS SHUT DOWN THAT THEY ARE THE ONES TO FIGURE THE ISSUE OUT BUT THEY REPLACED WITH SAME SENSOR AND SAID IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN WITHIN 6 MONTHS TO A YEAR FROM THE HEAT.

AEB (AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING) LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES WHICH MEANS AEB FUNCTION HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. THIS ACTION DISABLES INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL WHICH RELIES ON AEB TO AUTOMATICALLY SLOW THE CAR IF IT ENCOUNTERS A SLOWER VEHICLE AHEAD. ONLY HAD THE CAR A WEEK OR SO, BOUGHT USED WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT FROM ENTERPRISE CAR RENTAL. READING THE WEB INDICATES THIS COULD BE AN ISSUE IF YOU ARE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENABLED AND THEN CRUISE CONTROL IS RANDOMLY TURNED OFF DUE TO FAULTY (BOSCH?) RADAR SENSOR. VEHICLES WITH AEB SHOULD HAVE A MEANS TO TURN AEB OFF WITHOUT DISABLING FEATURES SUCH AS CRUISE CONTROL. CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE IS PRETTY STANDARD AND HAS BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS. SHOULD NOT DISABLE IT SIMPLY DUE TO NEW GOVERNMENTAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS.

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.
