Wondering if anyone else has experienced the front sensor throwing up an error while driving? "Front sensor blockage detected"
It disables the front sensor till I restart the car. Seems to only happen in rain or snow.
Can't make it happen for Service so they can't really do anything it's so intermittent.

This has been mentioned in another thread on here. Some dealers have found bad front sensors after repeat visits. https://www.nissankicksforum.com/forum/9-nissan-kicks-general-discussion-forum/933-any-problems.html

Even the latest car sensors still seem to struggle with inclement weather. Can they not look into the log of your car to see the error codes that have been thrown?

I think you have a bad sensor, I drive in heavy snow and poor driving conditions for 4 months of the year and to date never had a issue.
I have look at the front and still can't work out where the sensor is located.

The sensor is locate in the lower grill, next to the passenger side DRL/fog lights. It is behind the solid blank part of the grill.

This has happened to me, but only in snow/when the sensor is covered/dirty. Resolved once it’s cleaned.

Same here started to have snow melt so lots of standing water and slush around couple times now front sensor has turned off.
Odd as drove through lots of heavy snow storms and front totally covered in snow and never turned off.
Once left over night system reset and been good

I'm late to this forum on this issue. I have an SR that was purchased in July 2018 soon after it came on the market. In the last six months or so, this "Unavailable Front Radar Obstruction" error message has been popping up 7 or 8 times. The first time it happened, I thought there was something actually blocking the radar, but there was nothing when I checked. Since then, it has come on randomly, mostly when I'm on the freeway. I live in Southern California so there's no snow or anything natural that could interfere with the sensor, except for possibly direct sunlight at certain angles? Now I know I'm not the only one experiencing this, I'll mention this to the dealer next visit. Hopefully, they won't BS me.

Had new sensor and mount fitted some months back and have never had the sensor fault again.
