while driving will stall and power off in the middle of traffic, the dealer said this issue was caused by the idle air control valve sensor, but continued to do this even after the sensor was cleaned and replaced, this has been happening over several years. it started when i received the vehicle 18k miles and continued periodically, it is extremely unsafe, now it is unusable, at 88k miles i am replacing the computer. i hope this will finally fix the issue.
Car started/idled rough but stopped after acceleration. Mile into drive, yellow ck engine light flashing. Drove home and took it to auto store for free diagnostic. Misfire cylinder 1. Took to nussan dealer where purchased (certified used) to have them check it out. Light is now off, but code is stored. They moved plugs around and sent ne on my way to see if it happened again. Later that day, same thing only worse abd ck engine solid. Had it towed back. Told it was wiring harness. 6000 repair( nissan covering some). Big expense for a car with only 51,000 miles, and not covered by warrenty.
Light in panel appear said warning malfunction automatic emergency breaking light is on all the time and the car go to the dealers they fixed and when used the car this appear again in the panel
Malfunction to the automatic emergency brake, yes available for inspection. Have had that sensor replaced twice and on the the last time was never called to see if the part came in so I'm still have the malfunction. The car brakes without warning, may cause an accident while on the interstate. The sensor has been vhanged multiple times. Been inspected by nissan dealers. First appeared October of 2021 and has not stopped since.
Intermittent electrical failure that is related to the sensor systems in the vehicle. While driving the car will display sensory (ie. front collision) and traction control lights on the dash, and then the vehicle will shut off while driving. This has happened over the course of years and happens sporadically. This is very dangerous not only for myself as the driver, but also others on the road. This issue has been reported multiple times with no resolve. After researching, it has been noted that others have experienced failures with the same make and model as well as similar vehicles in Nissan-??s fleet.

This car has been shutting down without warning, everything goes haywire and shuts off. When or if it start back up, the gauges aren't working. Several times I have had to jump start the vehicle. I was almost hit by an 18-wheeler, and I cringe at the fact my Dad or Son could have been driving or I could had my nieces or grandchildren in the car with me. My Dad purchased this car last year and it still doesn't have 45,000 miles on it. I tried to get it into a Nissan Services center, and I have to wait until the end of next week to have it checked out. This vehicle is a death trap.
When driving my car the slip indicator will come on. My car will then struggle to stay running and then the malfunction light and car collision lights will also pop on. This happens when I am driving at any speed and if I place in park the car will completely shut down.
Randomly when driving I will have a malfunction see owner manual warning pop up it. Once I clear that to see the error I am getting the traction control and the indicator that looks like two cars colliding. While this is one the car does not have the power that it did before. If I stop and let the car sit for 10 to 15 minutes it mostly goes away but keeps the check engine light on for a couple days. The. The check engine light will go away and this will happen all over again. I bought the car used in May and it is having the same issue. I have had Nissan look at it as it is still under warranty but it seems to go away once I get it to the shop. They tell me nothing is wrong with the car. I have even took pictures of the indicators and they still say my kicks is 100 functional.
A few weeks ago while I was driving 50mph on a completely dry hwy the slip indicator came on. I thought I accidentally hit traction control so i hit that button and then realized they we two different icons. Shortly after the slip indicator came on the screen popped up saying Malfunction See owners manual. I pulled over where lights just started popping on and then my car died. After waiting 6 hours for a tow truck it was finally brought to the dealership. they did their inspection and said I needed a new alternator and they replaced that. Today 3 weeks later my car was parked. I was going to leave as my car was on and Malfunction see owners manual and the slip indicator started popping on. I went to put it in reverse and could not press the peddles and gravity rolled me back. I then had to throw it into park to stop it. I turned off my car and same thing again. I turned it off again and restarted and it was fine. I took it back to the dealership and they are still trying to figure out what is going on. this is extremely dangerous especially it stopping when driving. Looks like I am not the only one having this problem.
1: the back-up camera display may suddenly go dark while you-??re in the middle of reversing 2: the vehicle would not start and something stalls when driving with with a boost off and had the vehicle serviced twice for this issue, but to no availability answer. The Nissan Dealership can-??t find any problems.
Automatic emergency braking (aeb) system warning light (if so equipped) I purchased my 2018 Nissan Kicks in Feb of 2019, and have been experiencing issues with the warning light that looks like two cars colliding randomly appearing along with a message "unavailable front radar obstruction." These warning lights can come on at any given time during the time in which the vehicle is driven, and began shortly after purchase of the vehicle. Weather conditions, etc have no effect on this issue. The warning light/message has come on when it's sunny. It can come on when changing lanes, and not even having a vehicle directly in front of you. I monitored the behavior for quite awhile in order to confirm this was an actual defect. My vehicle is garaged most of the time, and there has been no damage to it whatsoever. After further research, I checked the owners manual then realized the warning light that I have been seeing is actually the automatic emergency braking (aeb) system warning light. The message that appears on the dash indicates a front radar obstruction, or impact near the front of the car as well. These may be two separate issues, but they occur at the same time everytime. I always see the aeb light, and the front radar obstruction warning simultaneously. I have also had problems with the blind spot warning lights randomly appearing, and my back up cam glitching out/freezing in the process of backing up.
The audio head until has tech issues connecting and playing android auto. It constantly skips 5 seconds at a time. There is also issues with the usb input staying connected. Looking online, there are hundreds of people with Nissan that have the same issue.
The vehicle has turned off 3 times on the freeway. And it won't start fast it takes from 15 minutes to half an hour. They have already repaired it 2 times and it continues with the same problem.
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.
Nissan Kicks 2018 (bought July 2018) - problems with fuel gauge indicator and approximate mileage data. Problems with fuel gauge after tank refilled and during moving. Problem exists permanently and released in November 2018, just 4 months after buying. Dealership service could not realize what is wrong with fuel gauge after more then 3 investigations. Their software could not realize the reason of issue and how to solve it. Risks - driver disinformation and possibility to stuck without fuel on highway. Please see attached file: 1. car has a gasoline and fuel gauge indicator displays it, but "approximate mileage' displayed as - - - - km 2. 0.0 km and "approximate mileage' is 71 km. Car refilled with a gasoline > fuel gauge indicator bar is not increased after gasoline refilling. 3. car moved 31.7 km. "approximate mileage" decreased only by 10 km, from 71 km to 61 km. But the car moved 31.7 km ! fuel gauge indicator bar added 3 more bars suddenly.
Purchased 2018 Nissan Kicks with 1,000 miles on it on 08/16/19. Has been to dealer twice now. Clicking sound in speedometer area (started 2 days within purchase) which has been complained about 3 times and they keep telling me there is no reason as they cannot hear it (I have videoed numerous times). Within a week of purchase the a warning sign came onto dash stating unable to detect front crash sensor and within seconds front crash light appeared. At this time I was driving 25-30 mph and there was not a car in front of me for at least 100 years. Husband took to dealer and they could not hear clicking sound but claimed it was the front sensor that could have been causing the problem and ordered new part. On 09/27/19 car was taken to dealer to replace front sensor - again clicking sound was mentioned to dealer and I was told again they could not hear it and it was probably the car waking up. Since I let the dealer my front end makes a squeaky/creaking sound, and the accelerator has been delayed multiple times while driving and after already stopped to start driving again. Very dissatisfied with this vehicle.
Front collison sensor keeps malfunctioning on a broad range of newer Nissan including the Kicks which could cause the vehicle to stop on its own. Also, manufacturer should replace scratched up and malfunctioning touch screen radio units.
At random times when the car is started the engine starts but none of the instruments in the dashboard (digital gauge, sensors, etc...) including the stereo would turn on. In addition power steering is not functional. It takes several tries of restarting the car in order to get all the gauges, sensors, stereo and power steering to function. This issur can happen when the car is completely off and it is turned on. I even took a video showing the issue.
