Intelligent forward collision warning system randomly shuts off.
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.
Unavailable front radar obstruction error intermittently . cruise control is disabled.
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.
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.
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
Forward collision system turns off on a regular basis as you are driving.
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.
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.
