The vehicle automatic braking system/cruise control would not operate when a warning message unavailable front radar obstruction was displayed. It is possible that when the message occurs, the brakes can stop at highway speeds.

I have a 2019 Pathfinder. Nissan has a known issue with the aeb system. I get a message constantly that the front radar is unavaiable due to obstruction. If the front obstruction isn't working and the aeb is disabled, this is a safely item. Why has there not been any recalls?

Purchased the car in January 2019 complete hood latch system has had to be replaced in February. That was major problem one. The hood wouldn't close. Problem 2. every time I drive the car I get an alert that unavailable front radar obstruction. As if something is blocking the sensor. It will be a clear day nothing in my way and this pops up. I have also had the car break for no reason due to this!!!!! Nissan is aware of the situation and I was told the new sensor is on backorder. Extreme safety issue! hoping for a buy back so I can get out of this nightmare of a car. Also the car will always be in motion when this happens. I have also had it where the car beeps as if I am going to hit the car in front of me and there is no car in front of me!

Four separate times as I was driving a warning appeared that said " front radar unavailable due to obstruction". I am under warranty, took to coggin Nissan @ the avenues jacksonville fl. They are aware of faulty sensor problems but refused to fix the issue stating that they did not see the warning when they drove it and their antiquated computer checker could not find a problem. They kept my car for 5 hours and did not replace the faulty sensor that Nissan Corp is totally aware of. This dealer said they won't get reinbursed from Nissan for the part unless I can prove that I am receiving these messages. That is their way out of having to fix the problem. I am afraid to drive my car now and only have 15,930 miles on it ! many Nissan models have this faulty sensor. They also did not fix the problem with the radio/navigation screen freezing and turning all black. Same excuse that their computer checker can't "duplicate" the problem. There is a definite issue as I have discovered after researching Nissan issues, the sensor is randomly deactivating itself and Nissan is aware it is a problem with the third party component from Bosch, but will not issue a recall.

I purchased my 2018 Pathfinder in March 2018 and before I drove it off the lot the mil light came on. They took it to the service dept, said they fixed it. I drove it home and on the way home you could feel the car stutter and when outside of the car you could hear the engine misfire. The aeb light, slip indicator light and mil came on. Took it back to the dealership. They never could figure out how to fix it. They ended up finding another car like mine and I traded vehicles. Now over a year later the aeb light and slip indicator light have come on a couple times. Was told that there was a sensor that was recalled. They fixed that. Now the aeb light and slip indicator lights came on again. Called to get a service appt - days later the mil light came on. It is currently in the service department at the dealership. I do not feel like this problem should be happening already. The car is less than 2 years old. Having the same lights and problems with 2 cars that are identical is scary. There is a problem - it was not a fluke. Everytime the indicator lights come on I am driving on a highway. You can feel the car stutter and you know the lights are going to come on. Then the car jerks a little and the lights come on. Afterwards you can feel the car struggle at times - like it isn't getting enough gas. Although now that the check engine light is on the car is misfiring - you can hear it when it is idling in the driveway.
