Consumer Description

UNAVAILABLE FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION. THIS ALERT HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN DRIVING, IT PUTS THE SENSOR IN AN UNAVAILABLE MODE WHICH IN TURNS DOES NOT ALLOW THE SAFETY FUNCTION TO WORK PROPERLY. I HAVE DONE SEARCHES ONLINE AND THIS IS HAPPENING NOT ONLY TO MAXIMAS BUT TO OTHER NISSAN MAKE/MODELS. THIS IS NOT A ONE TIME AND DONE OCCURRENCE IT HAPPENS OFTEN. WHEN WE PURCHASED THE CAR SAFETY WAS ONE OF OUR BIGGEST CONCERNS LEADING US TO BELIEVE NISSAN PROVIDED SAFE CARS, APPARENTLY, THAT IS NOT THE CASE. IN MY OPINION, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FIX, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!
