2019 Nissan Frontier King Cab PU/EC AWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2019 Nissan Frontier King Cab PU/EC AWD

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:
"i was driving a 2019 nissan frontier and after pulling out of a parking garage the vehicle was failing to accelerate properly and the engine was jerking. i immediately pulled over and discovered the high pressure ac line had a hairline crack in it and the refrigerant oil sprayed all over the serpentine belt which caused the serpentine belt to slip.this was affecting the alternator voltage and causing improper acceleration. once i wiped the refrigerant oil off the serpentine belt the car performed normally. this is the 3rd time in 37,000 miles that the refrigerant line (nissan part # 92440-ea200) has experienced a hairline crack in the exact same location every time. the first failure was at 9,833 miles and the line was replaced. the second failure was at 17,662 miles and the line was replaced. the car was not driven on the road immediately after the first and second line ruptures and the oil was able to dry off the serpentine belt. the third failure happened at 37,000 miles."
