| Description of the problem | Automatic emergency breaking turns off constantly. When a truck towing a trailer passed me a light came on and a message flashed on the dash. It said that the radar was unavailable because of an obstruction. It happened again at an intersection. It seems to go off several times a day when it senses cars beside me, at intersections, turning... I made an appointment with nissan service at jeff wyler kong? S nissan in mason ohio. They found dtc # c1a16 radar stain and c1b55-97 radar blockage. They reprogrammed the radar unit. It still didn? T work. They said the part needs to be replaced to the tune of $1637. 86.
