1 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2026

The front collision radar and advanced driver assistance systems (adas) on my 2025 Pathfinder platinum fail intermittently and repeatedly, creating a severe safety hazard. The vehicle is currently available for inspection upon request. Component/system failed: the front radar sensor randomly malfunctions and shuts down entirely. This completely disables the automatic emergency braking (aeb), propilot assist, and adaptive cruise control. Safety risk: the sudden and unprompted disabling of the automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control while traveling at highway speeds poses a severe risk of collision. The driver is forced to take sudden manual control without the expected safety net, creating a highly dangerous distraction and increasing the risk of rear-end crashes. Warning lamps/messages: yes. Usually, after 30 to 60 minutes of highway driving, dashboard warning lights suddenly illuminate, displaying messages such as "front radar unavailable" or "system fault," accompanied by flashing collision symbols. This occurs in perfect weather conditions, on clear roads, and with perfectly clean sensors (no snow, dirt, or debris obstructing the radar). I have over 30 videos capturing these failures occurring under normal driving conditions. Inspection & dealer reproduction: the vehicle has been inspected by two different authorized Nissan dealerships, spending a total of 35 days out of service. At the first dealership (10 days in shop), the official paperwork blamed "dirt/debris," but a service advisor informally admitted via text message that it was an internal system error they could not fix. At the second dealership (25 days in shop), technicians test-drove the vehicle but claimed they "could not duplicate" the intermittent issue and found "no codes," despite me providing them with extensive video evidence of the system crashing. Manufacturer involvement: I contacted Nissan north America corporate regarding this severe safety defect and the dealerships.
