| Description of the problem | Four separate times as i was driving a warning appeared that said " front radar unavailable due to obstruction". I am under warranty, took to coggin nissan @ the avenues jacksonville fl. They are aware of faulty sensor problems but refused to fix the issue stating that they did not see the warning when they drove it and their antiquated computer checker could not find a problem. They kept my car for 5 hours and did not replace the faulty sensor that nissan corp is totally aware of. This dealer said they won't get reinbursed from nissan for the part unless i can prove that i am receiving these messages. That is their way out of having to fix the problem. I am afraid to drive my car now and only have 15,930 miles on it ! Many nissan models have this faulty sensor. They also did not fix the problem with the radio/navigation screen freezing and turning all black. Same excuse that their computer checker can't "duplicate" the problem. There is a definite issue as i have discovered after researching nissan issues, the sensor is randomly deactivating itself and nissan is aware it is a problem with the third party component from bosch, but will not issue a recall. |
