Nissan kicks stalls at red lights so that I have to completely shut down the car open the driver door and restart the engine to get it to move. The engine, oil, and the battery lights all turn on before the engine shuts down and sometimes it is others (as pictured below)that can appear. Car starts to tremble after it happens. Been to check it out and nothing came upon it, still happening several times.
My Kicks keeps giving the front collision warning, showing malfunction-see owner's manual, the traction light, front impact light and check engine light come on. Then it is extremely slow to accelerate and often doesn't get over 25 mph. In order to get the car working again, you have to pull over, turn the car off, open the door and close the door, and restart the car. Sometimes you have to unplug some sensor on top of the motor and plug it back in to get the car to work.
My car shut off while I was driving it with no warning and almost caused an accident. I have already had spark plugs and battery replaced as well as routine maintenance and it has shut off on me 3 times already.
October 2019, I purchased a 2019 Nissan kicks and had no issues until last December. Took the car to the dealership because it would start jerking randomly when trying to accelerate. I-??ve taken my car to the dealership for this issue 6 times and each time I-??m told something different. I-??ve had my transmission replaced twice within 7 months, new throttle body, mass air flow sensor and my ECM replaced and the jerking is still there but has never triggered the check engine light.
My engine light came on, took it down to autozone they said it was the mass airflow. But then took the icon off. I took it to a repair shop and what they found is my car had 3 software updates causing bug fixes and said that Nissan can fix that for free since I have an extended warranty.

The front collision warning light came on and the vehicle would not accelerate. I pulled over, stopped, turned off the car for about 5 minutes. I restarted it and and the front collision -?? still didn't turn off and would not accelerate. In park the rpms did not move when I pressed the gas pedal. I turned the car off again for 5 minutes. I opened the hood and closed it and cleared snow from around the tires. I started it and the front collision light went off but the check engine light stays on now. Since then the car will randomly skip and jerk when accelerated between 25 and 35 mph. I checked with auto zone and they said the code is the ECM. Electronic Control Module. I'm going to have it inspected by a mechanic to confirm the issue.
I have reached approximately 67k miles in my 2019 Nissan Kicks SR and the front passenger wheel bearing is going out and needs replaced already. I found out after having my car appraised on July 15th, 2022 and then on about August 4th, 2022 I could hear a loud hum like noise and felt an almost warbling feeling when driving over 40mph. I noticed on a forum that other people have experienced this issue as early as 5k-10k miles on their Kicks vehicles as well. Website forum; https://www.nissankicksforum.com/threads/wheel-bearings.983/ I believe if multiple parties have endured this issue with the same vehicle it may be a manufacturing issue.
The transmission will rumble/grind on take off from a stopped position. The transmission also has a hard time changing gears when you get to the 3rd gear going about 35 - 40 mph and randomly slipping rpms. This has happened multiple times within the last five weeks (10/29/2021).
The car is randomly stalling and shutting off when i have the car in drive. It has happened to me multiple times, and the dealer said that there was nothing they could do.
Front impact warning light comes on and affects the cruise control and tries to stop without anything in front of car. This car only has 4200 miles and has been in shop 5 fives for the same thing and all Nissan dealership does is clear code, adjust sensors and/or calibrate sensors but never changes out sensors. There is already several class action lawsuits with Nissan on front sensor and this malfunction. This is clearly a hazard driving the car and is a safety issue to drive since this car can try to stop when nothing is in front of car.
Radio turns off and on. On its own!!! car stops on it's own!!! transmission slips in reverse on hills!! now a grinding noise when starting the vehicle. Only have had my Kicks 1 year!!! I am livid!!!!! I am so mad!!! I have a 3 year old and I cannot risk my life because a brand new car stops in the middle of the highway!!!!
My Nissan Kicks 2019 have a few problems. First it turn on the sensor of check engine. Also the traction control sensor is on. But the worst of all is that the the front proximity sensor is giving up false alarms and is stopping the car while driving. This is driving me crazy because the car does it on unexpected places. Is this happening only to my car? I am going to take my car for service but it make me feel afraid that it could happen again.
Rear view camera adjustment could affect image visibility. A letter was received, indicating that the issue. No changes on rear view settings were performed by owner.
There is a grinding sound that seems to come from the passenger's front quarter of my Kicks. I cannot replicate it. I has happened several times and seems to decelerate the car. It normally happens when I am pulling out of my apartment complex. I cannot recreate the issue. I took the vehicle into a dealer a few weeks ago for an oil change and asked them to check it out. They said nothing seemed wrong and of course they could not recreate the sound either. I don't know if it is coincidence or not, but my fuel efficiency has seemed to decrease as well. It use to be around the 27.7 area and now it hovers in the 25.7 range. Both of which are below the estimates when I bought the car.
Owner purchased the vehicle new. At approximately 100 miles, the vehicle made a gear grinding noise from the front of the vehicle. Vehicle was taken to larry H miller Nissan in mesa AZ, dealership claimed they could not duplicate the problem. Vehicle continued to make grinding noises from what appears to be the transmission. Although the owner of the vehicle and passengers hear the grinding noise almost on a ever-other day basis, same dealership claims they cannot replicate the problem. Owner will not drive the vehicle, which now has only 2,100 miles on it.
