| Description of the problem | My nissan murano has an automatic emergency braking (aeb) safety feature. About a week ago, i was pulling out of the garage at work. A car in the lane to my right and a little ahead of me, but not in front of me. I slowed as i approached a speed bump. Speed at this time was less than 10mph - about 5 mph. Once slowed, to get over the speed bump, i needed to press on the gas. The aeb system beeped quickly and loudly. The aeb symbol flashed on my dashboard. Then, suddenly and abruptly, the car stop. The aeb system stopped the car. As it did, i looked up. The other car in the lane next to me had managed to go over the speed bumps well before me and was never coming into my lane. The only other thing near me was the speed bump sign that straddled the median to the left. But again, it was not in my lane. I was not in any danger of hitting anything. Thankfully, the car behind me was about 20 feet away or it would have rear-ended me. I was scared and confused, but had to keep going to not block the exit lanes. After that incident, i noticed that the aeb light on my dash would flash, sometimes briefly, again, when i was not in any danger. In one instances, i pulled into a lane as i exited a gas station behind a car waiting at a red light. There was a car in front of me so i approached slowly to get in line at the light. The light turned green. And as i pressed the gas to begin to accelerate, the aeb light flashed. This time, the cars behind me were closer and starting to pick up speed. The car did not stop, thankfully. But these situations continued and occurred at least once a day. I called the dealer to ask about recalls. The service tech did not acknowledge any recalls and offered to test it for $145. This is a safety issue caused by nissan. We paid extra for this feature and now i can't trust it and worry it is faulty. |
