 Description of the problem i am having problems with the cruise control on my new nissan pathfinder 2014. 1. Cruise control intermittently disengages going down a shallow but straight road. In a 3 to 4 mile driving stretch, it will, at times, disengage 2 to 3 times. 2. The ¿¿set¿ and â¿¿resume¿ toggle switch at times then does not re-engage the cruise control. The switch acts dead. I then have to switch off the cruise control and then switch it back on to have the toggles switch work but not always. 3. The cruise and set indicators on the instrument panel do not flicker. The nissan dealer carried out a test run and found the cruise control disengaging exactly as stated above. They replaced part #25550-3ks1a, switch assembly-ste, to resolve the problem but it did not. They reiterate that such a condition of cruise disengagement as stated in the ownerâ¿¿s manual is considered normal and acceptable. Having read the ownerâ¿¿s manual, i do not find any mention of the toggle switch intermittently acting dead after disengagement of the cruise control nor the high frequency of the disengagement. This condition is causing me to concentrate more on the instrument panel rather than on the road. I am repeatedly unsure whether the cruise is engaged or not. This distraction could result in a fatal accident. It'¿¿s like texting while driving. Either way, the end result would be an avoidable fatality(s). This condition clearly amounts to a road safety hazard. The manufacturer, by merely stating that the cruise may disengage driving down in hilly terrain cannot absolve itself of the responsibility for the safety of the occupants of the car. Such high frequency of cruise disengagement and toggle switch failure cannot be considered normal. More than likely a software design problem.

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success.
