| Description of the problem | 5-13-2019 (5 am) i was in an accident. The aeb (automatic emergency braking system) was active. The car was in motion until impacting a mercedes. I was on the "maze" i-880 (freeway) and chp arrived at 5:25 am and a field report file was file and i will contest it. See attachment. There is a prepare document explaining. I saw no warning lights on the dash during motion or crash time. Driving ultimately a dash red indicator came on. At the time i did not know what that to think. Upon returning home it said the car might suddenly stop. Researching i found a way to turn off this feature. But every-time one turns on the ignition, this switch resets itself... There is no way to turn it completely, but other safety features do. I find this odd and problem until car is repaired. I believe this system failed to operate, but evaluation is difficult. I like the black box recorder to be down loaded. I found a person who can do this, but he can not evaluate the data. Does the nhtsa have this skill? I believe my start of the art car could tell us more. Presently pathfinder sl own by [xxx] is at jim bone nissan santa rosa waiting for a part. I will attach two files containing all related information. I am aware after this accident that there is an effort to recall pathfinder sl concerning this sensor aeb. Thank you.
