In owners' own words
All of the safety lights came on including ABS and AWD sensor. I took my car to DeMaag GMC Nissan in Battle Creek MI and they said that the ABS Actuator is bad. I see that there has been a recall for this for the 2016-2018 Nissan Murano but they say that mine wasn't included and they told me that this was the issue. Why is it not included? Service brakes
Purchased 2018 Nissan morano sl suv on 12/14/2019. Driving from dealer on 4 lane highway, approx. 3 Mi., Dashboard displayed 'unavailable front radar obstruction'. It has randomly displayed this ever since. Nissan dealer stated they have been 'desensitizing' the radar as a remedy but denied having any previous knowledge of this defect.
