My vehicle was in motion on a city street. i went to make a turn because of a curve and my steering wheel and brake would not work. my emergency brake system (which is suppose to stop my vehicle before impact, did not deploy. i ran straight into a stone wall and fence. i received a recall letter in the mail about the back sensor, but my sensors were working up until my accident. my vehicle was deemed totalled. it was not raining, i was not speeding, and when the police came out to do an investigation, they could only determine that it was a mechanical problem. why did the sensor not work? why didn't my cars emergency brake system not work? now i'm having to get a new vehicle without even knowing why the safety systems put in place did not deploy. thank god my son was not in the car and no one else was injured.
adaptive cruise control and automatic braking are disabled due to "front radar blocked". this is a brand new vehicle i have had for about two weeks (less than 1,000 miles). after doing some internet research, this appears to be a known issue with nissan vehicles since 2018. i believe my vehicle was manufactured in late 2018. the issue was first noticed while driving with the cruise control engaged and i kept getting closer to the vehicle ahead of me without my vehicle automatically slowing down (i.e., the car maintained the cruise control set speed.) after manually braking and resetting the cruise control, the cruise control would eventually shut off and the attached message would be displayed. prior to the issue being observed (approx. first 500 miles driven), the adaptive cruise control and automatic braking worked fine.
