I purchased a Nissan Kicks 2020 7 weeks ago. Yesterday while at a stop light, the engine shut off and then the battery and oil light popped on. This was extremely dangerous as I was on a busy highway and had to panic on what to do. I ended up having to put it in park and cut it back on. After researching this online, I have found other people are having the exact same issue. I checked for a recall and see NONE! How has there not been a recall? I had my three children in the car with me (one being a newborn) and was scared to death!
Motor issues constant ticking noise the motor is making looks like Nissan is not wanting to cover powertrain warranty looks like upper part of motor has issues and could stop working at anytime especially on a busy highway.
Since I got the kicks in May of this year 2022 I have had multiple incidents where the lights for the sensors come on out of nowhere and it shows 3 messages for.sensor malfunction. They popped on again a few days ago and now the check engine light is on and the code it's showing is main air flow sensor failure. That sensor from what I have been told should last a long time. I have had it 7 months and it's only 2 years old. I change the air filter every oil change and with the sensor failed it won't drive proper causing a safety hazard for me and my children.

Car will shut off on its own when sitting at a red light will get a message showing the word MALFUNCTION, will restart after several attempts of pressing the start button. Has been taken to the dealer and reported and documented on my service receipt but they could not duplicate the problem and stated car was at specs. This has now happened 4 times in the last 2 weeks.

Vehicle keeps shutting off while driving, even on major highway. Vent control valve was stuck open had to be replaced; corrosion on a connector to the wiring harness had to be replaced. Alot of similar complaints and there needs to be a recall on this vehicle. My daughter could have been killed on the highway when we left dealership for engine shutting down, it shut down again after driving 10 miles from being serviced for same reason.
Entering highway or traffic car hesitates no power. Seems like the engine isnt providing enough gas for take off, this is with the pedal accelerator completely pressed down. This has happened several times. Scary when your entereing traffic. Had back to dealer once and said all was fine. It happens almost every time I drive it but not all the time mainly when you come to an almost stop and try to go. I looked on line for bullitins and came across classification AT19-002D reference ntb19-040D.
The car currently has 5700 miles on the odometer. Ever since I bought it in June of 2020, intermittently the car will idle rough at stop lights. When it happens it is usually after driving on the highway for 20 or 30 minutes. On October 17, 2020 after about an hour on the highway the car idled rough at the first stop light I encountered then died. I restarted it then it promptly died again. After the second restart there were no other problems. Took the car into the dealer on Monday 10/19/20. They kept it for 3 days and never could duplicate the problem. They did reprogram the engine control module that was under recall. Hoping maybe this resolves the problem.
I was driving on the road, and my car was sitting at a red light, the car just stops and will not move. I almost caused a very bad accident as there was cars behind me. I turned it off and turned it back on and then it all of sudden worked again. This is a dangerous situation and I thought I was gonna be in a accident.
The car stalled while driving causing a safety concern. The engine was still running, however, the car would not move. After shutting it down and restarting the car a secomd time, the car started moving again.
