NHTSA complaint #11291659, filed 2019-12, 6,000 miles“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. …”

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. …”
