NHTSA complaint #11325386, filed 2020-05, 36,000 miles“I own a 2018 Nissan Murano sl. There is a front senor issue that I have been experiencing ever since I purchased the vehicle, in november 12, 2019. Every time I drive it, without fail. Seemingly random, I get an error message: front radar obstructed warning appears on panel. The collision warning system inactive icon light comes on.
