NHTSA Complaint #11625795 — 2022 NISSAN PATHFINDER

On Sunday September 8 2024 at 3:01 pm while driving my car down the road my car suddenly started flashing the Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection system warning light. The warning started flashing then the engine shut down. The engine shut down for about five minutes then I was able to start it again. But My check engine light was on. My Nissan Connect sent me a message via email that my "PATHFINDER's engine may have an emission control system malfunction." I moved the car from the middle of the street to a parking lot and initially called for a tow truck. However, after sitting in the car for about 40 minutes waiting for a tow truck I started the vehicle again and it started and the check engine light was off. I subsequently took my vehicle to two Nissan dealerships and they could not find an issue or a resolution to the problem. Today, November 17 2023, at 4:23pm I was on my way home driving west and my car began to flash the same indications that I received during the initial incident. The common thread between both incidences was that I was driving west during dusk and the sun was shining brightly in my direction. I believe that the brightness of the sun is causing the AEB system to malfunction and can cause the vehicle to shut down while driving. This is definitely a hazard if driving.
