When driving my 2018 nissan altima, the car beeps and the message "front radar obstruction" appears. Then the automatic emergency braking (aeb) system warning light comes on. It goes off and comes back on later. This continues to happen throughout the entire trip.

While driving the vehicle, notification of "feb: unavailable front radar obstruction" comes on and stays illuminated for upwards of 5 to 10 minutes before turning off. This occurs when there are no vehicles in front of mine and no road hazards that would have triggered it to turn on. I feel that this is a big safety issue with the way the car is designed to stop when it detects a hazard. This started out randomly…

The forward collision warning component becomes 'unavailable' when there is nothing (no dirt or rain, snow) blocking the sensor. I keep the sensor wiped clean and on a nice sunny day, while vehicle is in motion on the highway, boulevard, residential streets. The sensor warning will tell me 'fcw unavailable' with the 'symbol' of two cars crashing. It goes on for a while then off then back on again. In the photo…

Front crash camera. It goes off for no reason. If i'm driving on the freeway & it just goes off, if i'm going on a flyover ramp it picks up the ctb (concrete traffic barrier) & goes off again. It don't matter where or what it just goes off.

Vehicle in motion, the flaw is in the front radar/distance sensor unit allows the sensor to frequently deactivate itself, disabling cruise control and emergency braking. When the sensor turn itself off, drivers are seeing a warning in the dash that says, 'front radar unavailable due to obstruction.'

Was traveling over snowy mountain pass. My mileage was 65 with heavy traffic. The forqard crash warning system failed and said unavailable then reported i had been in a front end collision. Which wasnt true as i was still traveling then the car kept automatically applying breaks. This could of caused a severe crash had the roads been icy as it could of put me in a spin causing a serious crash.

The automatic emergency braking light arbitrarily comes on and stays on. I can be at a full stop and the light comes. See the attached picture. I can be driving and the light comes and stays on. For the most part this happens in just about any driving conditions

While driving during rain conditions, the forward radar repeatedly disables itself with an "obstruction" warning, which also disables the automatic emergency braking function. This issue does not present during dry weather conditions, and does not happen while transiting through a car wash. This problem was first noted in october 2018 when driving in rainy weather for the first time. The vehicle was new, with 00004…

Since the time this vehicle was new the frontal automatic emergency braking (aeb) system turns itself off randomly while driving regardless of weather or road conditions. On other occasions it gives false warnings causing the vehicle to automatically apply the brakes to avoid what it considers an imminent collision hazard. Nissan has also issued service bulletins regarding this issue with other nissan models…
