“Radar sensor issue started about 6 weeks, started getting message front radar unavailable, it wound show for a few seconds then go away, in the last two weeks it has increased to 2-3 times a day ( I was driving 5-10 miles daily) yesterday we drove about 40 miles and it happened at least 6 times. I called Nissan where I had made my purchase in march 2018 and the lady advised there had been several of these situations happening. We have a service appointment on oct 2 2018”

“AEB light was on so we took it into the St. Augustine Nissan dealership. They told us the ABS actuator needed replaced and there are now more lights including the ABS on the dash after they were in the car. They said the part was on back order since February and that there were about 70 people ahead of us in line waiting for this part. Hearing that I decided to check for recalls and noticed there were ABS recalls on other Muranos of the same year. This also keeps cruise control from working.”

“I purchased a 2018 Nissan Murano in may 2019 with 16k miles on it, at 30,000 miles I started noticing an issue with it not coasting into turns, it would almost come to a complete stop, and nearly cause accidents to unsuspecting drivers behind me. I took it to kerry Nissan in florence and the tech acted like I was imagining things, since they couldn't get it to repeat the action. It's happened off and on since then, and based off the techs reaction, thought nothing of it. …”

“Multiple times I will get a warning that emergency braking is not available for an obstruction. But no obstruction. The FEB system light will come on out of nowhere… literally nothing around! Causing cruise control to disengage and not work again until I stop and restart the car 😡 no actually crash has occurred, but if this can’t be fixed I see it as inevitable! Please advise on what to do. This also I believe is the reason why I’ve had to replace front breaks and rotors TWICE IN 2 years!!!”

“The Automatic Emergency Braking system is malfunctioning whereby for no apparent reason the AEB light comes on which disables it and also my Cruise Control. Reputable car repair shop told me that a false positive signal is sent which disables AEB. Cannot turn off in Settings. When I turn off the vehicle the AEB light will be off however it will come again for no reason after inconsistent time periods have elapsed. Contacted Nissan Customer Service and was told that there is no record of other complaints about the AEB.”
