NHTSA Complaint #11325386 — 2018 NISSAN MURANO

WHILE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 80, I PASSED A VEHICLE AND AS I BEGAN TO RETURN TO THE DRIVING LANE FROM THE PASSING LANE, THE CONTROL PANEL BEEPED AND A WARNING "FRONT RADAR UNAVAILABLE DUE TO OBSTRUCTION" APPEARED AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY DECELERATED DRASTICALLY AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS DISENGAGED AND DISABLED. I HAD TO REACT QUICKLY TO AVOID A REAR COLLISION BY ACCELERATING RAPIDLY. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME OR ON EITHER SIDE.THE CRUISE WAS DISABLED FOR ABOUT 4-5 MINUTES. THIS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 12 TIMES IN A 5.5 HOUR TRIP. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND REALIZED THAT IT WAS ONGOING FOR MANY YEARS AND INVOLVED A RECALL ON OTHER VEHICLES, BUT NOT MINE. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER WHERE THEY INDICATED A FAULTY ICC MODULE THAT I AM HAVING TO REPLACE AT A COST OF OVER $1000. (IT IS BEING FIXED TODAY SO I DO NOT HAVE THE INVOICE YET.) THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE A RECALL PART BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR
