Front radar modular intermittently unavailable. Article found stating Nissan was working on a fix, is it available yet? 2 dealership service departments and an agent at Nissan USA knew nothing about it. While driving with the intelligent cruise control on, suddenly it shuts off and a message on screen states, unavailable front radar obstruction. 2-15 minutes later it allows start up again. This seems to be totally random. Happened numerous times on a 2500 mile trip.
The cruise control is very sluggish. Once the cruise control is set, if you are to step on the gas to get around a car quicker or if you press the cancel button, step on the gas and then resume, you have to take your foot off the gas and let your speed slow down 5 - 10 mph under what you have the cruise set for before it will engage again. I have been almost rear-ended a few times while getting the cruise to engage again. Nissan states that that is they way the cruise control is designed. Nissan's service manager had this same thing happen to him in another Nissan vehicle but not all Nissan vehicles do this.
