When traveling more than 10-15 miles, the FEB/ICC warning comes on without notice or reason, disables the cruise control and slows the car suddenly. There is no way to reset it without stopping the vehicle and restarting it. Took Service Bulletin NTB19-033a to the Action Nissan dealer in Nashville, TN. Despite it clearly indicating that my 2017 Nissan Pathfinder is covered, they claim it is not. This is a major safety issue that Nissan clearly has identified. It needs to be fixed.
MOST NOTABLY, WHEN I'M USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, MY CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGES AND MY CAR ALERTS ME THAT THE FEB [FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING] - AKA - AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING - IS "UNAVAILABLE" DUE TO "FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION" THIS HAPPENS AT VERY RANDOM TIMES, AT LEAST EVERY OTHER DAY, DURING NORMAL HIGHWAY AND CITY DRIVING. IT IS ALWAYS A CLEAR DAY, NEVER A DROP OF RAIN, NOT EVEN RUNNING OVER A RANDOM BUMP IN THE ROAD OR A POTHOLE. THEN RANDOMLY, ANYWHERE BETWEEN WHAT FEELS LIKE 5 - 30 MINUTES AFTER INITIAL ALERT, THE WARNING CLEARS ITSELF. I PURCHASED THE CAR USED IN JULY 2020 AND THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT ANNOYANCE EVER SINCE. I'M AWARE THAT OTHER NISSAN MODELS AROUND THE SAME YEAR (2017) HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE SENSOR.
