Chronological view of owner reports
Car will auto break without another vehicle around it (in front or behind) causing the car to loose all power for a undermined amount or time before the collision censer comes on and detects a accident w-without there actually being one.
Car will suddenly and dramatically decelerate creating loss of control and surprising drivers around me expecting me to continue in a clear lane sometimes nearly causing me to rear-ended Car will shut off this feature automatically at times. the AEB malfunction light will illuminate. I have shared this with the dealer 2x - the response is that this isn't covered - even under my Nissan Certified extended warranty purchase
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING LIGHT WAS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, THE CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.
THE FRONT RADAR SENSOR DEACTIVATES ON MANY DIFFERENT OCCASIONS NO MATTER WHAT THE WEATHER IS. IT STATES THAT IT IS UNAVAILABLE DUE TO RADAR OBSTRUCTION BUT THERE IS NOTHING BLOCKING THE RADAR. THE AEB WILL AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGE WITHOUT WARNING FOR NO REASON. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, ONCE WHILE I WAS ON A HIGHWAY. I TOOK THE CAR IN THE FIRST IN MARCH 2019. TODAY WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE PERSONNEL THAT HE COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN, AND HE HATES TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS THIS WINTER.
