2018 Nissan 370Z 2 DR RWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2018 Nissan 370Z 2 DR RWD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

No
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"when driving on highways or bridges feb warning sign appears with a message (unavailable :front radar obstruction) , nissan dealership replaced the sensor twice but it keeps happening"
Components Involved: SERVICE BRAKES
Date of incident: 2022-02-01
Complaint:
"nissan 370z (total ride of 10,000 kilometers) purchased from nissan korea (gangnam branch) in late july 2019 and rode on pocheon laceway (car racecourse, circuit) on february 8, 2019, and suffered a huge blow due to suspected breakage. after riding a circuit (with enough cooling, total circuit driving black box video) at a certain interval, the brakes did not work well at about 180 mph, and soon after, the sponge phenomenon occurred at 120 mph. fortunately, there was no one nearby, and i was also lucky to end up with a stiff neck and no credit. on february 7, 2019, the day before the accident, nissan seongsu center ran a circuit and asked for a check on brakes and other consumables. the company said that there was no problem with engine oil change and other parts. but the next day, i ended up losing my life in a big accident because of a brake defect during circuit driving. as a result, i was able to suspect that the abs module, the brake component used on nissan vehicles, was defective, as the black box video and the driving record at that time showed that the brakes had not been applied, and the vehicle was checked a day ago and only rode on a full-kilogram vehicle. this was also pointed out by mbc as a defective part manufactured by continental company (including dozens of vehicle lists released last november, including nissan gtr and using parts such as 370z), which caused the brake fluid to boil, resulting in a very serious problem connecting the pressure of the brakes (response) to the spongy phenomenon. however, nissan has only recalled the vehicle in relation to the abs, but has been irresponsible about other problematic vehicles. you can also see that the 370z vehicle has long been a very poor vehicle for all engine related parts, and the nissan center has been charging them for free (this is not a formal recall)."
