2018 NISSAN MURANO Forward Collision Avoidance Problems

The FCW turns off within 10 miles of driving. The FCW light clears up if the vehicle is shut off and restarted. However FCW warning comes back up and the FCW system is disabled.

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.

FORWARD COLLISION CONTROL SENSOR GOES ON AND OFF, UNTIL IT STAYS OFF ALL THE TIME. IT ALSO HAS MADE THE CRUISE CONTROL UNOPERABLE. AFTER ABOUT 1 MONTH THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON, THE CODE WAS YAW SENSOR. RESET CODE AND NO PROBLEMS FOR ABOUT 10 DAYS. STARTED CAR ONE MORNING IN GARAGE AND ABS LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN, SAME CODE. ON MANY INTERNET SITES THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE FORWARD COLLISION CONTROL ON THE MURANOS AND OTHER NISSAN MODELS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE ISSUES. DEALERSHIPS WANT TO HOLD MY CAR FOR 4-5 DAYS BEFORE WORKING ON IT, THEN TELL ME THE PROBLEMS WITH IT AND THEN ME TELL HOW MUCH TO FIX IT AND WHEN THEY CAN GET TO IT. THIS FORWARD COLLISION PROBLEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE BRAKING THE VECHILE TO AVOID A WRECK.

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.

My 2018 Nissan Murano Intelligent Forward Collision Warning System (IFCWS) kicks on randomly and inadvertently when there is no forward collision risk. This causes the IFCWS light to come on and the cruise control to be disabled while driving causing a higher risk of an accident. This is a known issue that has yet to have a recall.

The sensor shuts off and warning beeps “Unavailable Front Radar Obstruction” which then shuts off cruise control and crash avoidance. This happens in dry weather with no rain or snow.

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 front radar module frequently fails disabling the Automatic Emergency Braking and the Adaptive Cruise Control.

While driving with cruise control set at 80, I passed a vehicle and as I began to return to the driving lane from the passing lane, the control panel beeped and a warning "front radar unavailable due to obstruction" appeared and the vehicle immediately decelerated drastically and the cruise control was disengaged and disabled. I had to react quickly to avoid a rear collision by accelerating rapidly. There were no vehicles in front of me or on either side. The cruise was disabled for about 4-5 minutes. This happened a total of 12 times in a 5. 5 hour trip. I googled the problem and realized that it was ongoing for many years and involved a recall on other vehicles, but not mine.This is dangerous and should be a recall part before someone gets killed or seriously injured.

The distance measuring sensor failed on my 2018 Murano. The vehicle would suddenly brake on its own without warning, with no vehicles in its path. Then, later if a vehicle would pass you and move in front of you a warning light would go on with the message "front radar unavailable due to obstruction". There are service bulletins out on this since 2015. It is my understanding through research that Nissan received a bad lot of sensors from their OEM producer. They are aware of this, yet they refuse to issue a recall to replace these defective sensors.

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. ABOUT A WEEK AGO IT BEGAN HAPPENING MORE OFTEN, LIKE ON EVERY TURN, AND I STARTED GETTING WORRIED THAT I WAS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, SO I TOOK IT BACK IT TO KERRY, IT WAS AT 62,000 MILES. THEY CALLED ME ON MONDAY 4/25 AND SAID MY TRANSMISSION WAS BAD, THE DIAGNOSTIC CAME BACK WITH AN ERROR CODE, CVT JUDDER. THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO CALL CONSUMER AFFAIRS BECAUSE THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 60K MILES. CONSUMER AFFAIRS SAID THEY WOULD AGREE TO PAY 50% OF THE REPAIR, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AT 30K MILES!!! AGAIN, REPEATING THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 60K MILES....2K MILES EARLIER!!! I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND IT APPEARS TO BE A HUGE ISSUE WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS, NISSAN KNOWS IT, THEY KNOW IT'S DANGEROUS, BUT WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN SEVERAL CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS OVER THE SAME THING, BUT NOT NEWER MODELS. I WAS QUOTED $4200 FOR THE REPAIR, WHICH IS JUST CRAZY TO ME, ON A CAR THAT IS 3 YEARS OLD!!!! I THOUGHT NISSAN HAD A GOOD REPUTATION WHEN I SPENT $30,000 ON MY CAR, NOT KNOWING THERE WAS SUCH A HUGE ISSUE WHERE THEIR ENTIRE LINEUP OF CARS. THEY ARE CROOKS, AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CONTINUE TO GET AWAY WITH THIS. THIS IS A ALSO A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE! TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAILING WHILE PEOPLE ARE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE CAR JUST STOPS. THERE ARE A TON OF COMPLAINTS, AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON CVT TRANSMISSIONS!

THE AEB SYSTEM ENGAGED WITH NOTHING INFRONT OF MY VEHICLE ON JAN 19, 2021. THIS IS NOT THE INTENDED WAY OF FUNCTIONING FOR THIS SYSTEM.
