What owners wrote

I was in the process of turning on a back road, there was a guardrail to my left and and a truck with a trailer turning in front of me on my right. My sensors must have thought they were too close because my car locked up and I could not turn causing me to hit the guardrail.

Reported at 29,000 miles, October 2019 Crash

Front radar modular intermittently unavailable. Article found stating nissan was working on a fix, is it available yet? 2 dealership service departments and an agent at nissan USA knew nothing about it. While driving with the intelligent cruise control on, suddenly it shuts off and a message on screen states, unavailable front radar obstruction. 2-15 minutes later it allows start up again. This seems to be totally random. Happened numerous times on a 2500 mile trip.
