The front sensor for coalition continuous goes off, snow. Sleet, rain, and now when its sunny out. I've had this car for less then 6 months and it had stop working 23 times.
Front sensor for the vehical keeps stating that the sensor is obstructed. The exterior of the car has been cleaned and looked at by the dealership. However, they have not fixed the problem and refuse to do so, due to the claim that rain and bugs are the cause of setting off the sensor. The sensor has been going off since I purchased the car in August of 2018.
Front radar unavailable due to obstruction. The sensor malfunctions (shows on dash) while driving on the freeway in rush hour slow traffic or normal traffic, rain or shine. It may come on while braking or driving over a manhole or pothole in the road. It has come on while slowing down or stationary. Bought my car in June 2019. It started coming on 3 days after purchase and several times since with the last time on November 22nd. Key. Car would not start even when the key was placed near the starter. Brake could not be pressed in order to start ignition. Key not detected sensor would come on. This happened on a few occasions days after purchase. Called dealer and informed them of the problem. I missed work due to car not starting. Issue resolves itself after several hours. Never was fixed at the dealer so it does happen again on any given day or time.
Purchased my 2018 Nissan Kicks new in February of 2019. Have had many issues starting within 3 months of purchase. My first issue was while waiting at a light the vehicle cut off and took 3 attempts to restart. Next issue was while driving the key light glowed as if the key was not in the vehicle. The car stutters and don't pick up speed. Crash light and other lights coming on without warning or reason. Have taken vehicle in after every issue and have left vehicle with Nissan on several occasions and issues are still not resolved. This is a vehicle that they just can't seem to figure out what's going on with it. Today 11/14/19 is my latest visit for the vehicle cutting off and not starting immediately after cutting off. The side door buttons have fallen into the door panel and still no resolution. I left the vehicle and I just hope that this time all my issues with this vehicle wil be resolved. Very disappointed with Nissan. I will never purchase another vehicle from Nissan again.

The front collision sensor malfunctions constantly. It will come on for no reason while vehicle is in motion. This has happened quite frequently in the past few months since vehicle was purchased in June 2019. Also, the camera screen is not working properly. Sometimes it will not show anything and just recently it has started to going through everything someone is playing with, I.e. changing from radio display to phone functions with no phone connected, starts reading out menu options, all while vehicle is in motion.
I was driving 30 mph straight and had to make a left turn. There was a car coming in the opposite direction I was driving so I had to slow down and come to a stop to let the car pass before I turned. When the car passed and I went to turn left my car would not move. My car was still on and in drive with no warning's on. I put my car in park and put it back in drive and it still wouldn't move. I had to turn my car off and back on for it to be able to move. This is a critical issue that needs to be fixed immediately because it could leave fatalities. Thank goodness no one was behind me or I could have been killed. I am now afraid to even drive because of this incident, especially on the highway.
While the vehicle is stationary and/or moving, the aeb system (the front radar) does not work. No matter the weather conditions, the system will disable itself and become inactive. Multiple complaints have been made to the dealer where purchased and they refuse to fix. This problem has been ongoing since purchase of vehicle on October 29, 2018.
Faulty radar - warning flash on dashboard indicating "front radar unavailable due to obstruction. Car is in motion and warning appears for no apparent reason. Not weather related and can warn while city street, highway at any time. Does not come on because of a bump in the road or while turning. It has come on day and night for no obvious reason. I have had this issue from the day I bought it in November 2018. Ongoing.
Automatic emergency brake indicators would appear intermittently while driving under normal driving conditions. Vehicle indicators will go off even if there is no vehicles ahead
Frequent automatic emergency braking deactivation while driving during which a warning is displayed that the system is deactivated, a warning light is displayed and cruise control is deactivated.
Within the first 300 miles the sensors started to malfunction. The dealer replaced the side sensors. The the front sensor relating to the aeb started to malfunction. I now have 6000 miles on the car it has been in and out of shop with no clear solution to the problem. They replaced the front sensor, but within 24 hours it was malfunctioning again. I was involved in an accident 6 days ago, the aeb did not engage, the sensors did not engage. When this first started (2 days after purchase) it was drizzling, but I was stationary when sensor malfunctioned. It would also malfunction on a dry sunny day in a parking lot. There was no rhyme or reason to the sensor going off or on.
