2018 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

I OWN A 2018 NISSAN MURANO SL. THERE IS A FRONT SENOR ISSUE THAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, IN NOVEMBER 12, 2019. EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT, WITHOUT FAIL. SEEMINGLY RANDOM, I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE: "FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTED" WARNING APPEARS ON PANEL. THE "COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM INACTIVE" ICON LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE WARNING MESSAGE GOES OFF; THE COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM LIGHT GOES OFF. THIS ERROR CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AGAIN ALMOST EVERY TEN MINUTES AFTER THE INITIAL ERROR MESSAGE FOR THE DURATION OF MY CAR TRIP. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER IF I'M TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY OR COUNTRY ROAD.... OR EVEN AT A COMPLETE STOP....IT STILL HAPPENS NO MATTER WHAT, AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2018 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO STOP FOR AN ONCOMING TURNING VEHICLE WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THEY ENDED UP CRASHING INTO THE TURNING VEHICLE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BOUNCE OFF OF THE OTHER VEHICLE AND HIT A NEARBY GUARDRAIL. THE AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY AND SMOKE EMITTED FROM THEM. THE POLICE WERE CONTACTED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND DEEMED TOTALED. THE CONTACT STATED THEIR WIFE NEEDED TO BE CUT OUT THE VEHICLE AND TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL VIA AMBULANCE. THE WIFE SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THEIR RIGHT LEG, ANKLE, AND THE RIB AREA. THE CONTACT WHO WAS THE PASSENGER RECEIVED INJURIES TO THEIR LEFT KNEE AND HEAD WHERE MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NEEDED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT CONTACTED THE DEALER HOWEVER PRIOR TO THE FAILURE BEING EXPERIENCED THE VEHICLE HAD A 21,000 MILE INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000. *DT

CAR BRAKES HARD ALL THE SUDDEN, ALMOST CAUSE ME A ACCIDENT, I CLEAN THE SENSOR THINKING IT QAS DIRT IS DOING THE SAME THING. ALSO WHEN THAT HAPPENS THE CENTER SCREEN GOES OFF I LOSE THE RADIO. I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND ON AGAIN.

FORWARD COLLISION SYSTEM KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING. SHOWS A WARNING 'FRONT RADAR UNAVAILABLE DUE TO OBSTRUCTION,' MESSAGE. NOTHING IN FRONT OF IT. TURNS ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. HAPPENS AT ALL DIFFERENT SPEEDS. HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND GETTING WORSE. WAS TOLD $1200 TO REPAIR FROM DEALER.

PURCHASED 2018 NISSAN MORANO SL SUV ON 12/14/2019. DRIVING FROM DEALER ON 4 LANE HIGHWAY, APPROX. 3 MI., DASHBOARD DISPLAYED 'UNAVAILABLE FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION'. IT HAS RANDOMLY DISPLAYED THIS EVER SINCE. NISSAN DEALER STATED THEY HAVE BEEN 'DESENSITIZING' THE RADAR AS A REMEDY BUT DENIED HAVING ANY PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE OF THIS DEFECT.

WHEN DRIVING IN CRUISE CONTROL, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY FLASH A SIGNAL STATING "FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION, UNAVAILABLE" WHICH DISENGAGES THE BRAKING SYSTEM WHILE DRIVING IN CRUISE CONTROL, . THIS ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THE RADAR FAILED TO ALERT AND AUTOMATICALL SLOW CAR DOWN. THIS ALSO CAUSES A HAZARD WHEN DRIVING ON REGULAR STREETS AS ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SIGNAL FLASHES INEXPLICABLY AND UNPREDICTABLY WHICH CAUSES A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING.

"UNAVAILABLE FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION" POPS UP RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN OR HIGHWAYS, FREEWAYS OR ANYPLACE. IT IS FAULTY, CAUSING THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM TO NOT WORK. BECAUSE IT DOES NOT WORK, NEITHER WILL USING CRUISE CONTROL - A BASIC ACCESSORY FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DECADES! THE EBS HAS BEEN GOING OFF AND ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND I FIGURED I'D HAVE IT CHECKED AT THE NEXT MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENT (1 WEEK AGO). THEY FOUND IT TO BE FAULTY AND REPLACED A DISTANCE SENSORY UNIT. WITHIN ABOUT 20 MILES THE EBS QUIT WORKING AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR MOST OF THE WEEK BUT I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT IN DUE TO THE HOLIDAYS. TODAY I HAD TO DRIVE OVER 100 MILES AND WAS UNABLE TO USE CRUISE CONTROL BECAUSE THE EBS SYSTEM DID NOT WORK THE ENTIRE TIME. THE CRASH LIGHT COMES ON,

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHIME WAS INAUDIBLE WHEN THE SEAT BELT WAS NOT LATCHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ORR NISSAN SHREVEPORT (844-244-2459, LOCATED AT 1240 E BERT KOUNS INDUSTRIAL LOOP, SHREVEPORT, LA 71105) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MODEL VEHICLE WAS NOT EQUIPPED WITH A CHIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

"UNAVAILABLE FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTED" ERRORS APPEAR ON DASH ABOUT EVERY 10-15 MINUTES WHILE DRIVING. IF THE CRUISE IS ON, IT DISABLES THE CRUISE SETTING AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY SLOWS DOWN. EMERGENCY BRAKING IS ALSO DISABLED WHEN THIS ERROR HAPPENS. IF A CAR IS FOLLOWING WHILE DRIVING AT 70MPH AND THE CRUISE DISENGAGES THIS COULD CAUSE A REAR END COLLISION TO HAPPEN.

UNAVAILABLE FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION ERROR INTERMITTENTLY . CRUISE CONTROL IS DISABLED.
