Nissan Murano Fwd 2018

• Recall 147795 [USA]: A brake fluid leak on the circuit board may result in an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.
  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.
  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.
  owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.Safercar.Gov.

• Recall 151857 [USA]: The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
  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."
  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.

• Recall 2019567 [Canada]: Brakes
  Issue: on certain vehicles, the antilock brake system (abs) actuator pump may leak brake fluid and malfunction. This would cause the abs warning lamp to turn on. If this problem is not fixed, damage to the abs actuator could result in a short circuit. Note: this is a replacement and expansion of transport canada recall 2018-486. All vehicles that did not have the abs actuator pump replaced under that recall require this repair. Safety risk: a short circuit could increase the risk of a fire, even while parked. Corrective actions: the company will notify owners by mail with an interim notice. A final repair is not yet available. If the abs warning light stays on for 10 seconds or longer, you should park your vehicle outdoors away from other vehicles or structures. You should also call nissan or infiniti roadside assistance to have your vehicle towed to a dealer for repair. A second notice will be sent to you once the final repair parts are available. This letter will advise you to take their vehicle to a dealer to replace the abs actuator.

• Recall 2019459 [Canada]: Visual system
  Issue: on certain vehicles, the rear view camera system does not return to the default setting when the transmission is shifted to reverse. This could cause a reduction in rear visibility if a driver had previously adjusted the camera display. Canadian regulations require that the rear view image returns to its original setting each time the camera is turned on. Safety risk: reduced rear visibility could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: the company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to update the software for the rear view camera.

To ensure accuracy and for your safety, it is recommended to do a free VIN recall check here or here [USA] - UK - Canada.

Bulletins are notices put out by manufacturers in conjunction with the NHTSA to notify the public of manufacturing issues or changes.

All of the safety lights came on including abs and awd sensor. I took my car to demaag gmc nissan in battle creek mi and they said that the abs actuator is bad. I see that there has been a recall for this for the 2016-2018 nissan murano but they say that mine wasn't included and they told me that this was the issue. Why is it not included?

Driving on freeway at 65 mph with no other vehicles around and the sun roof exploded. It sounded like an explosion and glass fell into the car. There was no evidence in the car that anything fell onto the sunroof.

I purchased a 2018 nissan murano in may 2019 with 16k miles on it, at 30,000 miles i started noticing an issue with it not coasting into turns, it would almost come to a complete stop, and nearly cause accidents to unsuspecting drivers behind me. I took it to kerry nissan in florence and the tech acted like i was imagining things, since they couldn't get it to repeat the action. It's happened off and on since then, and based off the techs reaction, thought nothing of it. About a week ago it began happening more often, like on every turn, and i started getting worried that i was going to cause an accident, so i took it back it to kerry, it was at 62,000 miles. They called me on monday 4/25 and said my transmission was bad, the diagnostic came back with an error code, cvt judder. They told me i had to call consumer affairs because the powertrain warranty expired at 60k miles. Consumer affairs said they would agree to pay 50% of the repair, even though the car had been in the shop for the same exact issue at 30k miles!!! Again, repeating that the warranty expired at 60k miles....2k miles earlier!!! I googled the issue and it appears to be a huge issue with cvt transmissions, nissan knows it, they know it's dangerous, but won't do anything about it. They've been involved in several class action law suits over the same thing, but not newer models. I was quoted $4200 for the repair, which is just crazy to me, on a car that is 3 years old!!!! I thought nissan had a good reputation when i spent $30,000 on my car, not knowing there was such a huge issue where their entire lineup of cars. They are crooks, and i don't understand how they continue to get away with this. This is a also a huge safety issue! Transmissions are failing while people are driving on the interstate, the car just stops. There are a ton of complaints, and there needs to be a recall on cvt transmissions!

On jan 21, 2021 i was driving our murano and was in the drive thru line at the county health department parking lot, to receive my covid-19 vaccination. As the line moved, i slightly pressed the gas pedal moving slowly up in the line. When the vehicle in front of me stopped i slid my foot to the left to press on the brake. My foot slid behind the brake pedal and i was unable to apply the brakes. My rate of travel was less than 2 mph, i placed the transmission in neutral in an attempt to stop the vehicle. The vehicle continued to coast as i tried to remove my foot from behind the brake petal. Moving my foot to the right it hit the side of the gas petal (the vehicle was still in neutral). As i struggled to free my foot, i was finally able to do so. Unfortunately, my vehicle bumped into the car in front of me. There is no damage to that person's car, my car receives some scratches on the bumper. My concern is if this would have happened while i was traveling at a higher rate of speed. This incident could have been a lot more serious and even fatal. I believe i did nothing wrong and there should be no way a person's foot can slide behind the brake pedal. Then, they must struggle to free their foot.

Smoke was noticed inside the car while i was driving on a rural freeway in the blue mountains of oregon. The source of the smoke appeared to be the rear passenger set, right side. I pulled over. When i opened the door on the right side of the car, a large plum of smoke erupted from the rear seat. I then noticed a black, burned hole in the seat measuring about 10in x 10in. As quickly as it began, the combustion stopped. After a 20-minute wait the seat cooled off and i was able to proceed. Note that the rear seats were in the down position, and pillows were placed on the floor boards where passenger feet would normally be.Photo shows damage to the pillows. I suspect the origin of the fire was an electrical failure related to heated seats.

About 2 months ago, the display window showing audio selections, rearview camera, navigation, etc. Began rapidly jumping back and forth from screen to screen. Nothing i did, affected it, thus i wasn't able to change channels or get full view when backing up. When in reverse, 2 lines of text were displayed, blocking the camera view. One said, "display settings", but when i pressed it, nothing happened. Upon starting the car, the time varies as to when the irregularities begin. Sometimes it starts immediately, but other times it may appear normal for a few minutes and then start. But once it starts, it doesn't stop until the vehicle is turned off. It seems to be an electrical issue since nothing i've tried remedies it. In the "when did this happen" section below, i will put the approximate date the issue started, but as i said, it is a continuous problem.

While operating my nissan on a rural highway i heard what i thought to be a gun shot and felt glass hit me. To my surprise, the sunroof in my 2018 nissan murano had exploded.

3 incidences of sudden, immediate automatic braking without obstacles or other cars in front of ours. 10/15/2020: mid day, sunny/dry conditions, residential street. Moving forward from a stationary position and below 10 mph. Car suddenly stopped, loud noise, warning flashed on dash board. No other vehicle or object noted in front of car. 10/20/2020: between 8:00-8:30pm, dry conditions, city street. First car at intersection moving forward from stationary position at green light. While moving through intersection, car suddenly stopped, loud noise, warning flashed on dash board. No other car or object was in front of our car. 10/24/2020: between 7:00-7:30 pm, conditions dry, city street. Again first car at an intersection. From stationary position and at green light moved forward into intersection. While moving through intersection the car came to a sudden, halting stop, loud noise and warning flashed on the dash board. No other car or object was in front of our car. In each of these three incidences the car was in drive, the accelerator was slightly depressed for slow acceleration and for no reason the car automatically, suddenly halted.

The driver side seat belt does not want to snap into the belt holder which has the red button you push to release it, i have checked every time for any obstruction and nothing is there, it does finally lock into the spot after about 10 times of trying this just started happening 2 weeks ago, the car is not that old to be having seat belt problems like that. It does not matter what time of day it does it regardless and only when putting it on, it releases just fine just when putting it on it will not latch. Just let me know if you need me to do a video of it i never made a video of this happening.

I have a 2018 nissan murano platinum awd. I will be driving on cruise control and it will turn off and the collision light lights up and car will come to a stop. The warning system gives a clue as to what is going on, it says radar obstruction. This happens at any speed, at random, with or without cruise control and has been happening many times a day for months, sometimes with the car behind me almost hitting my car because of the fault of the system. I took it to hgreg delray nissan and they basically blew me off as if it wasn't an issue. The service manager actually told me to drive it and when the light comes on bring it back to him. They didn't even do a test drive! Well, i left that dealer since they are unwilling to help out with what i think is a severe motor vehicle safety issue. I will continue my quest to get this fixed at another nissan dealer. I have heard of a few people with the same issue having some success when the dealer has replaced the radar sensor.

While driving with cruise control set at 80, i passed a vehicle and as i began to return to the driving lane from the passing lane, the control panel beeped and a warning "front radar unavailable due to obstruction" appeared and the vehicle immediately decelerated drastically and the cruise control was disengaged and disabled. I had to react quickly to avoid a rear collision by accelerating rapidly. There were no vehicles in front of me or on either side.The cruise was disabled for about 4-5 minutes. This happened a total of 12 times in a 5.5 hour trip. I googled the problem and realized that it was ongoing for many years and involved a recall on other vehicles, but not mine. I took it to a dealer where they indicated a faulty icc module that i am having to replace at a cost of over $1000. (it is being fixed today so i do not have the invoice yet.) this is dangerous and should be a recall part before someone gets killed or seriously injured. *tr

I was driving for the first time in this vehicle on interstate with cruise control activated and the car sensor speed control set to the lowest setting. I changed lanes to pass a car, and after passing, signaled to return back to the lane. The car suddenly beeped and a warning appeared "front radar unavailable due to obstruction" and the car suddenly deactivated the cruise control and braked. There were no vehicles in front or beside me. I floored the accelerator so that the car behind me didn't hit me. It happened several more times, so i turned off the cruise control until i could safely stop and check the manual to see what happened. I googled the warning and immediately saw that this was a common problem. On my return home it happened at least 8 times with no warning in a 3 hour trip. The cruise control remains deactivated for a period of time before you can engage it again. *tr

While driving my 2018 nissan murano, all of a sudden my vehicle began to de-accelerate and lost it's ability to accelerate. I immediately attempted to pull onto the median of the highway and realized that my brakes were malfunctunctioning, but by then my vehicle was at such a low speed that the brakes were able to stop my vehicle when the peddle was depressed all the way to the floorboard. Three warning lights were indicated on my warning screen and my rpm indicator was bouncing up and down. I called my dealership (my vechicle, was still under factory warranty) and they directed me to a number to call for towing services. In the meantime, i cranked my car several times, and each time the same warning lights were on, the rpm indicator continued to bounce, and the vehicle's engine was geared up while the vehicle was shaking. After my vehicle was taken to the dealerhip (petro nissan in hattiesburg,ms) they told me that the only way they could diagnose and repair the malfunction was to "replicate the malfunction in my vehicle". After three days, the dealership said that the malfunction was not replicated so there was nothing the dealership could to repair the malfunction. The dealership also refused to furnish me with a loaner car because the malfunction wasn't diagnosed. So, i am now in a situation where my car remains unsafe to operate, but i cannot in good conscience sell or trade it in and allow someone to operate this dangerous vehicle. I am in a very precarious situation but cannot afford to simply sideline this vehicle and purchase another. Nissan is forcing me to operate a vehicle which is a danger to the occupants of this vehicle and to those others on the streets and highways.

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.

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

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,

Whether it be a few seconds after driving, or a minute or two, the warning 'unavailable front radar obstruction' appears on the dash board. This indicates that the automatic collision avoidance system has been disabled. This is the radar system that monitors the distance between the vehicle and any object in front of it, that first alerts the driver if they are approaching an object ahead rapidly and if no action is taken on the drivers part, will then try to slow the vehicle down by applying the brakes to help avoid or mitigate the impact of a collision. This system is not supposed to automatically turn itself off. This happens every single time the vehicle is used and seems to be a well documented phenomenon by murano owners, through unofficial nissan murano forums, as well as here on digital trends 'https://www.Digitaltrends.Com/cars/faulty-radars-compromising-nissan-emergency-braking-system/?Amp' with the 2015-2018 nissan murano and other nissan vehicles.

Whether it be a few seconds after driving, or a minute or two, the warning 'unavailable front radar obstruction' appears on the dash board. This indicates that the automatic collision avoidance system has been disabled.

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.

Unavailable front radar obstruction error intermittently . Cruise control is disabled.

"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.

While driving, a safety light keeps coming 'unavailable front radar obstruction'. This happens even without anything blocking the radar. This also controls the cruise control and if not working cc gets disabled. It also controls emergency braking.

I just purchased a 2018 nissan murano platinum "as is" with no warranty. After driving i am now noticing a beep and message across dash that says "unavailable front radar obstructed." cruise control is not even on. I researched the problem and found it is a very widespread problem with several nissan models. I am so frustrated now. I am afraid to use cruise control which i like to use from time to time when traveling. If there is a fix i don't feel that i should have to pay for it. This is a problem nissan has known about due to a defective part. Not sure where to go from here or what to do.

Intelligent cruise control front radar sensor continuously alarming for obstruction which renders the cruise control unusable and does not provide any front crash protection. This occurs anytime i am following a car and move to pass a car, the system will alarm for obstruction which can take up to 1/2 hour before it resets.

Warning comes on "unavailable front radar", happens no matter what the outside conditions. Disables the cruise control. Sometimes i can recycle and the cruise will start to work again and sometimes i have to wait several minutes to be able to reactivate. Automatic braking is also disabled during this time. Happens at any speed.

The vehicle caught on fire next to the abs system resulting in total loss of vehicle and near personal injury a quality defect caused the fire . Many photos available!

The automatic emergency braking sensor comes on without reason and then will not disengage. It also will not turn off if you choose to disable it. It also kicks you out of cruise control if you have it on. This happened daily at all speeds and making all sorts of maneuvers including turning right or left after being stopped at a light and driving down a highway without any vehicle in front of me.

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.

When entering certain intersections, there is almost 100% probability that i get the following message: 'unavailable front radar obstruction'. It's happening every day on the same spots and the number of these spots is growing. This causes the radar to be not working for about 3 minutes. It's been happening for about a year or so. The last time just less then 2 hours ago.

While driving the automatic stop system fails, a warning flashes on the dashboard to indicate the problem: 'front radar unavailable due to obstruction.'

I was driving around 50 miles an hour, heard a small pop sound then my sunroof exploded. Glass rained down on me causing me to swerve and almost wreck. I was on the highway at the time with no vehicle in front of me.

Front/side impact warning unavailable light. Although it did not happen in my vehicle it can cause the car to slow even at high rates of speed.

While driving along approximately 5 mph along a city street approaching a traffic light ready to stop, i heard this really loud noise sounding like a gunshot or similar loud noise. The sunroof was closed, however, it exploded the front sliding glass of the sunroof, and i was very surprised. At first i had no idea what h ad taken place, i then heard loud air noises coming in the car. I checked to make sure all the doors and windows were closed tightly. I decided to strop and check the outside of the vehicle, and noticed the large hole in the sunroof. I had drive home about 35 miles with the broken glass sliding around in the shade between the sunroof and the car. I had no idea how this could have happened. The next day i took it to the body shop, and they stated that i shouldn't be driving it like this because it would be very dangerous if the broken glass would suddenly break through the shade, and the glass would fall directly into the auto and on me and the passenger. I don't have any pictures at this time,,however the body shop has.

Cruise control is inoperable and automatic emergency braking system (aeb) is deactivated. Warning comes on stating 'front radar unavailable due to obstruction.' nissan service department indicated on warranty service invoice that problem is related to sensor unit and noted "replace adas".

June 7 2019 murano platinum 21,470 miles driving @various speeds, in any weather, a warning light comes on that reads "front radar unavailable due to obstruction". I have checked the sensor and nothing is obstructing it. It will stay on for a few minutes and then shut off, only to come on again. When this happens, the cruise control shuts off without warning creating a hazardous situation in traffic with sudden deceleration. This warning comes on multiple times during any normal driving on street, highways, byways, or standing still. - inverness, fl, usa

Sunroof exploded. Driving on the highway and the sunroof suddenly shattered and glass showered the interior of the vehicle. This was not caused by impact with an object. There were no overpasses, nearby trees, open trucks, or other likely sources of debris. The road and weather conditions were excellent (sunny, high 70s). This defect presented a significant safety issue.

I called nissan today to register my complaint. They have not gotten back to me yet. They requested my vin and proof of ownership, and took my complaint, and will have someone call me. They asked me if i had taken the car to a mechanic. I have not, as the headlights are functioning mechanically correctly (not dim, no bulbs out, etc.) however, there is a serious design flaw that decreases visibility and makes driving at night dangerous. The low beam headlights only shine about 30 feet ahead of the vehicle. There is a sharp delineated black shadow after that (no diffuse light). If you are on a flat grade, the problem is not as noticeable. However, as you go up a hill or even a small grade, or down a hill, or make a corner, the low beams shine brightly for 30 feet in front of the car, and then there is an area of total blackness in front of that. It's not the kind of light that slowly diffuses, and then gets dark, it is a sharp cut-off, of total lack of visibility. If you're traveling even 30 miles an hour, that is not enough visual distance to be driving safely. I have also called a nissan service center and they said that they "had heard of the problem", and i could try adjusting my headlights in an upward direction. So my husband turned them up about 4-6 inches (we were shining the headlights on the siding on our house, for a reference line). This caused the distance that the headlights would shine to become around 50 feet. Still not acceptable for driving safely. This is dangerous, and i hope there is a fix for this problem. My guess is that i will probably be sent to a nissan dealer, who will say there is nothing wrong, and then my next guess is nissan will say since there is no problem to fix, that the equipment if fine, and they won't do anything. I'm probably going to have to sell this car at a loss. I'm very upset with this situation.

I bought my 2018 nissan murano on jan 31, 2019. The car was supposedly built with all safety features and i felt good about it until i started getting the message "unavailable front radar obstruction". This affects the abs and can also affect the cruise control if being used on the highways. It's a serious issue that can inadvertently cause accidents. This is a known and well advertised issue on nissan's website. I sincerely hope the company will correct the issue whatever it takes to assure the vehicle is safe on the road. *tr

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.

Forward collision system turns off on a regular basis as you are driving.

The censor is defective on my vehicle. The censor has been replaced twice.I purchased this vehicle new and now i feel very unsafe driving it because the censor defectiveness can cause the vehicle to stop in traffic.

While driving @various speeds, in clear weather, a warning light comes on and states "front radar unavailable due to obstruction". I have pulled over and checked the sensor and have never found anything obstructing it. It will stay on for a few miles and then shut off, only to come on again. When this happens, the cruise control shuts off without warning creating a safety situation in traffic with sudden deceleration. This warning comes on multiple times during most trips.

Frontal collision warning system continuously turns off while driving car. When this happens it also causes the cruse control to turn off. When traveling at highway speeds this causes the vehicle to rapidly slow down on the highway without the brake lights coming on. This potentially could cause a chain reaction accident. The problem occurs every time the car is driven . Nissan knows of the problem but does not have a fix for it. They continue to say the problem is under engineering review. The problem has been on nissan vehicles for at least two years and nissan continues to produce vehicles that they know has a safety problem.

On any roadway (city street highway interstate in motion) warning light displays unavailable front radar obstruction while cruise control is on. Then cuts cruise control off and slows vehicle down. Warning continues intermittently while driving with cruise control off or on. Cruise control will not work with warning on. If vehicle is turned off and restarted light turns off only to return again. Seems to be when driving 40 mph or above that this happens. Checked vehicle and there is no obstruction.

The abe warning light (orange) displays and the warning message 'unavailable front radar obstruction' appears randomly. This happens sporadically and intermittently while driving under various conditions (highway, street, turning, lane changes, straight ahead in one lane, seems to be at speeds of 40 mph and above and occurs with cruise control activated or not activated ). After pulling over, stopping and turning the vehicle off, the warning light does go off. The abe warning light also will go off on its own within a few minutes without having stopped the vehicle. In any case, upon inspection of the area of the front bumper where the sensor is located, there is no obstruction (no dirt or other substance or object). Note: if this warning scenario occurs while the cruise control is activated, the cruise control is instantly inactivated and the car begins to slow immediately. This problem started around september 2018. I purchased the car in december 2017.

I own a 2018 nissan murano sv (vin [xxx]). It has approximately 17,500 miles. The automated emergency braking (aeb) is malfunctioning. I am receiving an error message in the dash display that the aeb disabled even though it has been engaged in the settings menu. No matter how many times i engage the system i keep receiving the error message that the system is disabled. I understand this may be a problem with the radar units. I am sending this message as documentation that there seems to be a problem with these units. Sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(b)(6). *tr

Emergency breaking system keeps flashing a warning.Front radar unavailable due to obstruction

All the noises occur occasionally and not all the time: 1. Steering column makes a metal clunking noise while turning and accelerating on cold start. Occurs when pulling out from driveway or parking spot. 2. Steering column makes a metal clunking noise when accelerating from a complete stop. Occurs when car is already warmed up, driven for 10 mins. 3. Steering column makes a metal clunking noise when going into driveway or bumps. Occurs when car is already fully warmed up, driven for more than 10 mins. Brought into nissan stevens creek, said there was nothing visually wrong, went for a test drive, couldn't replicate, said they would lubricate steering column. Monitor until problem gets worse. Brought into nissan dublin, said they inspected steering components and torqued everything, could not find anything wrong. Stated, i still had warranty, if things went wrong. My concern is that something is not connected properly in the suspension or steering column which could result in a crash if i am going on the highway or backroads through the snow.

Android auto system randomly crashes or freezes when navigating with google maps. As a result we are left scrambling while driving to disconnect and reconnect our phone to reset the system, or to change usb phone settings to properly reconnect the our phone to android auto, causing a dangerous distraction from the road. Sometimes reconnecting the phone does not work causing a repeat of the effort and causing further driving distraction. I have repeatedly attempted to get the nissan dealer to repair the problem but they deny there is an issue.

Radar sensor issue started about 6 weeks, started getting message front radar unavailable, it wound show for a few seconds then go away, in the last two weeks it has increased to 2-3 times a day ( i was driving 5-10 miles daily) yesterday we drove about 40 miles and it happened at least 6 times. I called nissan where i had made my purchase in march 2018 and the lady advised there had been several of these situations happening. We have a service appointment on oct 2 2018

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 nissan murano. While driving various speeds, the cruise control disengaged without warning. The contact stated that the cruise control feature of the vehicle was controlled by a collision control system, which malfunctioned while on an incline and while driving various speeds on a bridge. Each time the failure occurred, the vehicle decelerated without any warning or brake lights illuminated. The dealer was not made aware of the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided the contact with case number: 32755178. The failure mileage was approximately 500. *dt *js

Each time the vehicle is driven a warning pops up indicating "unavailable front radar obstruction". Happens every time the vehicle is driven.

Silver border around side air vents reflects strongly in the side window and obscures the view in the sideview mirrors. This is a safety issue as it could obscure the view of a bicycle or motorcycle and a black vent border should be provided to resolve this issue.

While in traffic on a freeway travelling around 25 mph my back left tire exploded. I heard the boom but did not know what it was. I had not hit anything and was not knocked off course. Fortunately with traffic backed up i was travelling at a lower speed than normal. Shortly after a warning signal came on indicating my back left tire had 00 pressure. My new murano only had 1630 miles on it before the tire blew out. I drove about a mile to an area safe to pull over. A highway patrolman assisted with the removal of the tire. We did not see any damage to the tire. He mentioned it was likely the bead seal wasn't sealed correctly. He wanted to test my other tires but because there was evidence of nitrogen in the tires he chose not to. My tire pressures were around 44 in two tires and 46 in the others before the blowout. I had just taken my car for the first oil change at the nissan dealership i bought my car at maybe two weeks before this and they mentioned they adjusted my tire pressure.

I contacted peltier nissan last week to schedule repair of the audible alert for drivers side seat belt. I am getting no audible alarm when driving down the road without my seatbelt hooked. I brought the car in today, may 23, 2018 and they had the car for over 4 hours. When they called, the service personnel told me that they checked other 2018 cars on the lot and none of them had an audible seatbelt alert either, so the vehicle is fine. Stating it's not supposed to 'ding' if you don't hook your seatbelt, that it's only supposed to give you a visual alert. They wrote this on the report and wrote 'normal operation', ' no action'. When i got home my husband called the nhtsa to ask about federal law regarding this, however, the person didn't know the law and referred us to call nissan! (that's scary). So my husband called nissan main office, and the lady looked up the specs and told us that "yes, the vehicle is supposed to have an audible alert". We then looked it up in our manual, and the manual states there is an audible and visual alert for the driver and passenger side when seatbelt is not hooked. This is disturbing that your agent didn't know the law, and that nissan has even more cars on the lot with no audible warning. My car dings when the lights are left on, door is open, or keys are left, but they think it's ok that it doesn't alert me when i'm zooming down the highway with no seatbelt on? I believe an investigation needs to be done, as this is a huge safety issue and liability on their part.

The automatic emergency braking warning light came on 14 times throughout the day while driving. There were no other cars around and there was no apparent reason that the chime & warning light should have come on.

The rear spoiler of this vehicle was disconnected (torn apart) from the main body while i was driving in a high way with my new-born baby. Person in an auto-shop told me this car was already bad-made and it was already loosely connected. Nissan didn't take my case seriously.

I was driving in the fast lane on the freeway, and for no apparent reason, the car shut down, then immediately started up again. I was fearful that i was going to get hit from behind, so immediately went to the slow lane. I drove the car to and from my destination with no further incident, but fear it might happen again.

Current mileage is 9,900. Three times now while driving on the highway, the a/c stops blowing through the air vents in the cabin, even though the compressor is still audible in the dash. Three times i have visited the dealer for service and have been sent home three times saying they cannot duplicate the issue. Of course they can't because this in an intermittent problem that happens after an hour of driving on the highway. When the service tech finally gets to the car to begin the diagnosis, the car is cold and works fine. I filed a complaint with nissan corporate and they said the same, they could not authorize a repair until a dealer could duplicate the problem and document it. I even took a video with my phone of the issue live when it happened on the highway while my wife was driving. In the video, you can see the air is not blowing a piece of paper in front of the vent but the a/c is set to max and turned on full blast.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 nissan murano. While driving with the cruise control activated, a warning indicator illuminated on the speedometer. Suddenly, the cruise control became inoperable. The vehicle was taken to tom naquin chevrolet nissan cadillac (2500 w lexington ave, elkhart, in 46514) where they stated that they were aware of the failure; however, nissan had not issued a recall. The vehicle was taken back and forth to the dealer several times. The manufacturer was notified, but did not assist. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 14.

I have a problem with the low beam headlights. I was driving down a back road ( no street lights) when i noticed that my low beam headlights only illuminated about 50 or 60 feet in front of the vehicle. It appears that after the 50 or 60 feet my headlights are blacked out like a screen is in front of the headlights. This almost caused me to miss a turn and run off the road. The issue is that when on unlit streets at night you will only see what is directly in front of your car. Any speed at all will cause you to overdrive your headlights. I called nissan and lodged a complaint and laurie said since it's by design they have nothing to with it anymore. This is a dangerous situation for people driving the rural backroads of america.
