Consumer Description

THE FRONT SENSOR ON MY 2018 NISSAN ALTIMA MALFUNCTIONS, STATING THAT THERE'S A FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION AT TIMES. OTHER TIMES, IT FALSELY DETECTS A VEHICLE TOO CLOSE IN FRONT OF ME WHEN THERE'S NOTHING ACTUALLY IN FRONT OF ME ON STREETS AND ON THE FREEWAY. IT RECENTLY ENGAGED THE BRAKES WHILE I WAS ON A STREET WHEN IT FALSELY DETECTED ANOTHER VEHICLE TOO CLOSE IN FRONT OF ME. LUCKILY, NO ACCIDENT RESULTED.
