Wife's car, Nissan, for over a year now this accident sensor kicks on when you drive over 50mph. I've been to the dealer 3x and they said there's no recall nothing they can do about it, out of warranty, "would you like to schedule a mechanic to look at it".
I am mechanically inclined, did a lot of research on it. Tried to reset this sensor that's doing the issue, no avail. A mechanic can do it but need special software that they have to pay Nissan for on subscription tp do it.
I found that Nissan has a "voluntary recall" on it. So since the dealershit that my wife bought the car from, refused the car cause it's out of warranty. I wrote Nissan Corp. They said if that dealshit didn't want to fix it take it to another. It's an hour fix and they cover the reseting of the sensor..
For anyone having the same issue, you can turn on the wiper for a quick second and it turns off the sensor.
My wife has a 2018 Rogue. On the 2019 and 2020 there have been accidents where the car senses an accident when nothing is there and stops immediately. So they fixed those. I guess not enough reported the 2018 so they don't want to recall them.
But these car makers are forcing mechanics to subscribe to their software on a yearly basis and some instances paying monthly.
Many things you can clear by doing a drain of all circuits resetting many sensors, but dealers are keen to that and some sensors just won't reset unless you go to a dealer.
