2018 Nissan Kicks owner complaints

We had just purchased the car days prior. Assuming it was reliable we traveled an hour from home in clear conditions. Forward collision sensor malfunctioned on the way to our destination. After arriving, we left the vehicle unattended for quite sometime, hoping the issue would resolve. After turning off the forward collision sensor once back in the vehicle, it shut off completely as we were merging on to the interstate, again in clear weather conditions. The vehicle would not move, and had shut down completely. After getting the vehicle back on the road, I had my sales team drop it off at Nissan in Russellville, AR. It has since been seen 3 separate times for the same forward collision sensor malfunction. It will not drive, and I feel very unsafe with this vehicle on the road.

For over a year, I have experienced repeated failures of the front radar system, specially during rain or wet weather, when it rains the vehicle displays multiple warning such as: "Front radar unavailable" "automatic emergency braking unavailable" "Front sensor malfunction" This disable essentials safety systems, including the automatic emergency breaking (AEB) and forward collision warning, the Nissan Dealership has attempted several repairs, but the malfunction continues every time it rains, Because this is a critical safety issue that affect the vehicle braking and collision-avoidance and multiple repair have failed

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.

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 fi

I am unable to adjust the headrests. A very strong person can with difficulty move them, but I cannot. This is either a design problem, or manufacturing problem wherein tong separations do not align with channel separations. This means passengers cannot adjust headrest heights properly. I have been into the dealership 2times and gotten only a 'that is how they are built' response. I would have the headrests removed, but this is not legal.

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.

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

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.

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 nissans that have the same issue.

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.

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

Se me apaga corriendo , ruido en la parte frontal. Y en d no quiere ponerse en marcha.

Getting code p0101. When car first starts the throttle response is very low. Once the car warms up to seems to go away but it appears to be a consistent problem. Others are reporting as well for this vehicle.

I was driving in traffic in a 30mph zone and my car turned off, and I was unable to push down on the brakes. I had to use my emergency brake a could hardly turn my wheel and stop in the center divider of the road. I turned on my hazards and waited 15 minutes and was able to restart the car a drive home. This was very dangerous and could have caused an accident.

My headlights, dome lights and tail lights were flickering changed alternator. Kept doing it took it to the dealership in Daphne, Alabama. Had it put on the machine. They told me it was because it was a refurbished alternator. I finally found a new one in Tampa fla. So I ordered it and had it put on. And it is still doing it. The danger of this is that sometimes they will go off. And you can't see anything if it's dark. There was no warning light prior to the problem. The dealership said its because the refurbished alternator was strong enough. That was the findings from them. But like I said even after the new one was put on its still doing it. This has been going on for a couple of months

205/55/R17 I’ve taken the car to Nissan Jackie cooper in Tulsa ok they’ve replaced the battery from running on low power. Left it there for two days & they said the computer system is failing always restarting while I’m driving backup camera doesn’t work sometimes or is very very blurry. My car has stalled on me almost daily & shuts down i put it in park & it’s fine but it’s a ticking time bomb it has 47,000 miles always put Mobil 1 full synthetic & a Mobil one oil filter top of the line these things should absolutely not be happening & also the air filter that lets air into the engine accordion has been loose since i received the car from them. These recalls need to be taken care of.

The Nissan emergency braking system is giving out false warnings. The system on my car has given me hundreds of false readings and warnings while in motion, mostly on highways and expressways. Nissan refuses to say they have a problem with this. I fear that the system will malfunction and stop me for no reason on the expressway.
