Problem with automatic emergency braking (aeb). I'm driving on a road with 2 lanes in my direction at about 35 mph. Approached a curve that makes a slight left turn in the road. There happens to be a bicyclist on the curve. As the car reaches a position where the bicyclist is in direct frontal view of the vehicles cameras/radar, the aeb activates, even though we're both on the curve and I'm not going to hit the bicyclist. The activation of the aeb lasted only a second or two until the bicyclist was no longer in my direct path, but the noise from the brakes activating and the sudden deceleration scared the devil out of me causing me to panic momentarily. If a car was tailgating at the time, they may have hit me. The aeb system should recognize that I was on a turn/curve at the time and not have activated.
The contact owns a 2024 Nissan Kicks. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph, the crash indicator warning light illuminated, but there were no other vehicles nearby. The contact stated that on another occasion, while driving at an undisclosed speed, the lane departure lines on the instrument panel and the crash indicator warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that within 9 days of owning the vehicle, the rear window glass exploded without impact after sitting alone for approximately 8 hours. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,900.
