36 Warnings problem of the 2019 Nissan Kicks

Failure Date: 01/27/2023

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.

39 Warnings problem of the 2018 Nissan Kicks

Failure Date: 10/17/2022

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.

40 Warnings problem of the 2020 Nissan Kicks

Failure Date: 09/16/2022

I have 2 issues. 1. The forward collision light has come on for no apparent reason. This has happened 4 times in the last 2-3 months. The car doesn't do anything with this issue other then the warning indicator. 2. The automatic braking system has activated for no apparent reason. This has happened 3 times. In two cases, it was just a quick short braking event then the car went back to normal driving. I don't recall speeds for these, but they were not interstate speeds. The third event was at highway speeds, about 65-70. The car broke very hard for 2-3 seconds. Scared me to death because no one was around me. I'm concerned about this happening again when someone is behind me.

44 Warnings problem of the 2020 Nissan Kicks

Failure Date: 04/21/2022

For over a year now the forward collision warning light just flashes at random times as I am going down the road (I've taken numerous photos). I've taken it to downtown nashville Nissan to have it fixed (under warranty) and they say it has to be flashing when I bring it in. But they have shown me computer read-outs on when it has activated (gone off). They refuse to change the sensor. Now - twice (04/21/22 and 04/23/22) as I'm driving 70mph down the center lane of the interstate - the sensor activates, this big red triangle flashes up, an alarm goes of and it slams on the brakes. Thank goodness no one has been behind me either time and it only last for a moment (it thinks a pedestrian is crossing in front of me). Cannot get a reply from Nissan.

45 Warnings problem of the 2021 Nissan Kicks

Failure Date: 03/15/2022

Brand new vehicle purchased on 12/28/21. Forward collision warning system - this system has activated twice when there were no other vehicles near mine. Then on 3/15 returning home from an out of town trip it appears that it activated again with no other vehicles within distance and then my vehicle completely shut down and every light on my dash came on and a malfunction warning for it. The vehicle was towed back to the dealership where I bought it. The dealership is also where I am employed. The diagnostic has been completed and it threw 6 codes. Safety could be impacted in several ways. The vehicle started to slow and there was no power to accelerate. The car could have cut off in the middle of the highway broke down also putting other vehicles in danger of hitting the car and causing injuries and vehicle damage. I was driving alone at midnight when this occurred. If I did not have aaa I would have had to walk miles alone to the nearest exit possibly putting myself in danger. If this function would have failed when it was needed accidents and injuries would occur.

48 Warnings problem of the 2020 Nissan Kicks

Failure Date: 11/01/2021

The front collision sensor light comes on three to four times a week without any cars or objects in front of the car. The car speed is below 30 miles when it comes on too. This coincides with the braking system to kick in and slow down the car. It is risky for us to drive when the car woul brake suddenly with no collision danger in front of us. We haven't taken the car to a dealer yet, but planning to if the issue persists for further inspection. The issue started 2 months or so ago. We have recorded a video of the issues that we can share if needed. Thanks!.

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 even took pictures of the indicators and they still say my Kicks is 100 functional.

56 Warnings problem of the 2019 Nissan Kicks

Failure Date: 01/17/2021

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.
