As far as the FEB goes... As I posted in another thread here re: FEB - DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY - IT DOESN'T WORK AS ADVERTISED BY NISSAN!
We have the 2017.5 SL with all the upgrades (Premium / Platinum) and you are correct - THE FEB SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK AS ADVERTISED, OR PRESENTED IN THE MANUALS - which clearly show the vehicle warning you about 4 car lengths ahead of impact, gentle braking 3 car lengths ahead of impact and stopping you about 1/2 car length ahead of impact with the object in front of you.
There is no misunderstanding - it simply doesn't work as advertised and represented by Nissan.
This one is going to lead to some large class action suits!
Are you honestly so outraged/self absorbed/crazy that you felt the need to spam this across 6+ posts like a mental case...?
Advertisements from any company almost always simplify/over boast about how exactly/how well a system works. If you're so concerned go take your car and try to crash it. See what happens and accept the responsibility if an accident does occur. If you always take advertisements at face value and don't do research outside that you deserve all you get, and probably shouldn't be able to make purchases on your own with that lack of accountability.
Here's the IIHS testing: http://www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/vehicle/v/nissan/rogue-4-door-suv
Showing the system completely avoids a crash from 12MPH, and reduces the impact speed from 25MPH to 2MPH in their more demanding test. Just because *you* think the system doesn't work/is faulty/isn't as advertised is pretty irrelevant when it *does* work, and there is independent testing done that can back those claims up.
