There is an issue with the front-end collision sensor causing the vehicle to falsely register an obstruction causing the vehicle to stop. On several occasions I had the sensor trip going at speeds lower than 30mph. Normally it was when there was a dip in the road or near railroad tracks. Most recently I had two situations while driving on the highway. The first was on the highway in a hilly area (lake of the ozarks mo) and it was raining. I received several alerts that he sensor could not detect because it was obstructed. Wen it did this, the speed of the car reduced, but did not stop and the steering wheel locked for a moment. I disabled the system to continue the rest of my drive. The road conditions were very we and I did not want to experience issues. The second was on the highway, doing over 80mph in the left hand lane passing the vehicle in the right lane. As I came down the hill the car came to a stop and the steering wheel locked a the same time not allowing me to clear the active highway. I took my foot off of the accelerator and was able to then press it again and move into the shoulder of the road. The road conditions were dry this time (2 days later than the previous incident). Thankfully there was not a vehicle right behind me as they would not have had a reaction time because of coming down the hill. I again had to disable the safety sensor feature and drove the remaining 10 hours of my trip without it. I contacted the dealer on 9/3 when they opened and was advised there was a safety recall that I should bring it in but was never notified of the recall by Nissan.
The vehicle braked to a full stop while I was driving straight forward over train tracks. This is very dangerous as I could have easily been rear ended.
