2015 Nissan NV3500 Passenger Van VAN RWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2015 Nissan NV3500 Passenger Van VAN 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:
"this is the second time the brakes have malfunctioned but this time we were able to get dashcam footage. brake pedal maintained pressure like normal but did not slow the vehicle at first. it felt like braking on ice. pumping brakes eventually brought the brakes back online. the first time this happened, we nearly hit the car in front of us because we had to brake quickly (original complaint stated pedal went to the floor -- i think this was in error due to excitement of the moment). this brake malfunction has happened twice in the past 2 months. dealer can't duplicate and so far nissan consumer affairs says their process doesn't allow them to do anything unless the dealership can duplicate the problem. they suggested we take the van back if this happens again -- this seems rather flippant for such a safety concern. video --> https://youtu.be/jl9uprmesli"

Complaint:
"while driving in traffic on a dry, straight road at about 35mph, traffic started to slow for a red light. the brake pedal went to the floor with no resistance and had no effect on vehicle speed. frantically pumping the brake pedal gradually increased brake pedal resistance. after gaining brake pedal resistance, the vehicle came to a screeching halt, activating abs and narrowly averting an accident. this has only occurred once, on 19 dec 2018 and, to date, has not reoccurred. we took the vehicle to the dealership and they were not able to reproduce the problem and sent us away with "no problem found at this time". anecdotally, the dealership did mention another family that reported the same problem and they declared it a fluke because it has not reoccurred. the problem here is that if it does reoccur, it's quite possible neither myself nor my family will be around to report it. continuing to drive with a strategy of hope that this does not reoccur seems a poor strategy considering the risk to my family and others on the road. at least this is a documented data point if anyone else has experienced this."
