2016 Nissan NV200 VAN FWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2016 Nissan NV200 VAN FWD

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:
"the ac air flow in the back of the van is completely insufficient. the air coming out of the vents is cool, however the flow of air is so light/slow, the passengers in the back cannot feel it. since the back windows do not open it becomes swelteringly hot. we worry about our children passing out/over heating back there. it's a safety concern for us, and many others. it does not improve even once the vehicle has been running for a while, and it does not improve even when the vehicle is moving."

Components Involved: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Date of incident: 2018-01-07

Complaint:
"the rear air conditioning evaporator fan design has no air filter so the evaporator vanes become clogged with dust and debride within a short time causing failure of the system and thousand of dollars in repair bills. on the internet there are hundreds of disatisfied owners but no unified voice to nissan to do a recall on this engineering flaw to repair this obvious defect. we purchased the vehicle in march and had no use of the airconditioner then but when it heated up in denver we realized the rear air conditioner fans were not blowing hard enough to even be felt. on further reading i discovered this is a common problem for this vehicle."
