The first time the errors (front collision, traction control/slippery road) happened, I was driving my 2019 Nissan Kicks on a dry night in October (10/23). I was going down a medium sized hill with my breaks slightly engaged, about to run into my apartment complex. There was no one in front of me. Lights lit up with an error that said 'malfunction: see owner's manual. ' when I went to back into my parking place, it was like I was trying to dry with my parking break engaged--the car was fighting me for every inch. Turned the car off, left it over night; came back in the morning, no more errors. Drove normally. On 12/10, I was going down that same hill, almost same conditions--shortly after sunset, dry road, no one in front of me. Drive down the hill, breaks slightly engaged, front collison and traction controls light up, malfunction. Park the car, leave it overnight, get ready to take it to work in the morning, seems okay. On 12/11, I make it about 2 miles and I'm in similar conditions--pre-dawn darkness, dry road, no one in front of me, going down a hill with the breaks slightly engaged. They all light up again, this time with the check engine light. Take it to the dealership, they say it's a p0101 error and I need to replace the mass overflow filter and the battery. If it did the parking break-like issue from the first time it happened again, I'd be afraid that I couldn't get my car parked and out of traffic if I was in a public place.
While I was driving, I pressed the brake pedal. As soon as I applied the brakes, the vehicle abruptly screeched to a halt in a manner that felt abnormal and uncontrollable. Immediately after this sudden stop, the vehicle lost stability. It slid sideways, causing it to rotate and end up facing in a different direction than the one I had been traveling.
Manufacture warning collision warning traction warning while driving and unable to accelerate.
Check engine light came on, displaying code p0101, front collision malfunction came on. Replaced maf sensor for code p0101. The car then displayed the same lights, check engine light and aeb light and slip indicator light. My car then stalled while at a red light.
My car ocassionally comes with code p0101 and p0102 when the check engine light comes on. And when it does come on, the traction light and head collision warning lights show as well. These affect how the car drives and I have to stop and shut of the engine for a couple of minutes and then restart the engine. Changing the mass air flor sensor does not seem to have helped anything and it seems based on internet searches that several people who own similar cars are having the same issue.
The front crash warning will come on and then the car will just cut off. This has happened multiple times while driving. It’s dangerous because it happens without any warning and there is nothing going on with traffic to trigger the warning light.
I keep getting the p0101 code for the maf sensor and I’ve replaced it 2 times with oem ones and I still get that code later on. I’ve cleaned the throttle body and replaced the air filter with an oem one and that light with also the “wet road” and “forward collision” light keep popping up. Stalling has also occurred multiple times while in park or at a stop light and rough idle when ever not in movement.
While driving on a sunny day out of nowhere, no car around me and the car symbol for slippery road, front end collision and see owner’s manual appeared. After stopping at a red light when it was time to turn the car stalled. Although I was pressing the gas the car was barely moving then it “jumped forward” and started driving normally again. I took it to the dealership, they ran a test said the only issue was the battery. Informed them I replaced the battery less than 1 month ago. They said that was the issue so I purchased a new battery from them. 2 weeks later driving home in the rain, the same things happened again. The same symbols and warning. Again I was not in a collision or even near anyone when it came on. I was driving on the highway. When I arrived home I tried to back up into my driveway and the car stalled, although I was pressing the gas the car would not move. I had to turn off the car to be able to finish reversing the car. After researching online it seems to be a wide issue with the Nissan Kicks with the dealership saying do one thing or another but yet the problem persists. I am lucky that the moments it stalled there were no heavy traffic.
The emergency collision light came on my vehicle, then traction light, car stalled and wouldn't accelerate. This issue put me at risk to be rear ended at 55 mph. Took it to the dealer and was diagnosed as the mass air flow sensor. I've read about 100 articles of other owners experiencing this repetitively.
On[xxx] exactly one week after vehicle was purchased the car began stalling at 55 mph. The slip indicator lights and aeb lights came on the dash and I lost all acceleration. The vehicle became impossible to move I had to shut it off and restart it. The lights went off and I made it home, still with decreased acceleration. I have a [xxx] and do not feel safe with a vehicle that loses acceleration and then won't move on a highway. That's how you get rear ended. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer 4/5/25 and I have not heard back from them. After further research and reading forums of other 2019 Kicks owners this is a recurring issue that desperately needs to be recalled. The radio randomly reboots to Nissan screen. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
The car has massive acceleration during shifting in the transmission and the car suddenly stops during driving and loses the power to accelerate.
Car keeps malfunctioning the airbag light won’t cut off it keeps picking up speed after I use cruise control it’s jerking .
While I was driving, my vehicle’s intelligent cruise control (icc) suddenly stopped working. At the same time, the automatic emergency braking / forward emergency braking (aeb/Feb) warning light turned on. While the vehicle was in motion, warning messages appeared on the dashboard, including: “unavailable: front radar obstruction,” and/or “forward driving aids temporarily disabled – front sensor blocked. See owner’s manual. ” these warnings appeared even though there was no visible obstruction to the front radar sensor. The sudden loss of intelligent cruise control and forward safety features while I was driving reduced my ability to rely on these systems to help maintain a safe following distance. The unexpected warning lights and messages were distracting and created a potential safety risk. This issue occurred during normal driving conditions. I had to take the vehicle in for inspection to determine whether there was a malfunction with the front radar sensor or related safety systems.
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.
Symptoms: *automatic emergency braking (3 occasions) *slip indicator (3 occasions) *check engine -code p0101 (been on 4 weeks so far) road condition: sunny days aeb and slip indicator lights randomly came on 3 different times. On the 3rd time, check engine light came on together and it's been on ever since. Aeb and slip lights go away after the car is turned off. Having aeb and slip lights on makes the car drive like it is on the lower gear and the engine shut off at every red light. I started noticing the smell of excess gasoline fume especially when the car is moving but not accelerating, meaning that when my foot is off the gas pedal. Because p0101 indicates maf sensor malfunction, I replaced with a hitachi-made maf sensor. For some strange reason, the car lost battery power so I ended up replacing battery at the same time. Unfortunately, the check engine light is still on.
Car malfunctions while driving car stalls at 0 car cuts off air bags stuck on car was one of the ones that did not get fixed I recently just purchased this vechicle and it was used by a fleet company so it never got serviced when it had recalls.
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 was driving home from work and was changing lanes when all of the sudden the swerving road,two cars crashing, and check engine light came on. I couldn't accelerate and car lost power. I was in the lane next to the fast lane and cars started honking. I was able to pull over eventually. I waited 10 minutes and started the car and the same thing happened but this time I was stuck in between the hov lanes and the fast lane. I've never been so terrified before and I don't feel safe driving that car ever again. I took my car to the Nissan dealer on 1/28/23 and they were able to reproduce the problem. I was told it almost left their technicion stranded on the freeway. As of 2/1/23 I still do not have my car and I don't know exactly what the problem is. Prior to this incident the check engine light came on and gave a code for the maf sensor which I replaced.
Car often sputters then shows front collision warning light then stalls. Mass airflow sensor has been changed and problem persists. Radio volume changes on its own. Software is up-to-date.
The front collision sensor activated three times when I drove in highway. The car ran very show and its a danger situation that will cause an accident. . I vist two times the dealer ramar at humacao, puerto rico and they dont do anything because the sensor reset when the vehicule shutdown.
I was driving normally on the road and all of a sudden the check engine lights, automatic collision notification and swerving alarm all come on at the same time. Had no reason to. I stopped the car shut it of and on and all left except the check engine light.
While driving the car display a malfunctioning and shows a collision warning, although it was no collision and the engine shutoff while driving.
I was driving on highway and the front collision sensor kept going off. We pulled the vehicle over at our destination and parked. Cleared front cameras shut engine off, and all warning malfunction indicators kept lighting up. 1st no key detected, then brake warning, then head light malfunction, then brake, seat belt, and check engine warnings all flashed at same time. Then after sometime passed brakes locked up, and power to entire car was gone. No lights no nothing. Towed car to dealership where I purchased it, they had it for 2 days and could not find the problem. They had to jump the battery to get it started, then head light malfunction was seen on screen again. Mechanic kept trying to find other issues, but was unsuccessful and the battery was not failing. When I received the car back and tried to start it no key indicator light came on. Then placed key on start button to get it started. They still have no clue what this was. Said it was a fluke. I believe this could be a major problem due to sensors, malfunctioning, since they had been replaced once already, due to malfunctions. Not safe if this happens while driving down the highway, thankfully the car was parked when it occurred. I have included 2 photos shown to ed martin Nissan dealership service department, where I towed the car to for diagnostic. They told me they could not find the issue to repair. Consumer stated engine was parked at my destination. When she tried to start the car as usual, pushing both the start button and pressing the brake. Brakes would not compress. Then the warning light started flashing.
