Our 2022 Nissan Kicks has an unresolved acceleration/drivability problem. After pulling out of a parking lot, I pressed the accelerator, but the vehicle accelerated only minimally and slowly reached about 25 mph despite a posted speed limit of 45 mph. A red light ahead stopped traffic and prevented what could have been a collision. An independent garage scanned the vehicle and provided a printout showing code C1A07:04. The Nissan dealership said the problem was a dirty throttle body caused by the gas we used, not a transmission problem. We authorized replacement based on that explanation, but the original drivability concerns remain. Lag around 40 mph has improved, but the vehicle jumps when shifting into reverse and does not transition smoothly. Additional problems have developed: the A/C malfunctions, the fuel gauge no longer reads correctly, and dashboard lighting randomly dims and brightens. The dealership also reported slashed tread on a new front tire; we do not know when or how it occurred since it was in their possession for the better part of a month. The independent garage scanned the vehicle, and a Nissan dealership diagnosed and replaced the throttle body and later evaluated the A/C. I do not know whether the dealership reproduced the original severe acceleration failure. I am not aware of any police or insurance inspection. No warning lamps appeared before the initial incident; the code was documented on the independent garage's scan printout. The dates of the later symptoms are reflected in our service history. The severe loss of acceleration put us at risk of being struck by other traffic. The continuing drivability issues and additional symptoms raise further safety concerns. The vehicle has not yet had a comprehensive diagnosis of the unresolved drivability problems. The independent garage's scan printout and Nissan dealership service records are available to support this complaint.

The car has 82000 miles on it and transmission had to be replaced. The car is 4 years old and the repair is was $6000.00 which is over half the cars value. Nissan consumer affairs denied any goodwill assistance for a know issue with Nissan CVT transmissions

Someone was on a handheld scooter on the sidewalk and when reaching the corner, turned right abruptly still remaining on the sidewalk. My car slammed on the brakes believing this person was entering the street or was already in the street? The vehicle behind me swerved out of the way because it was going to hit me. This almost caused me to create an accident instead of attempting to avoid one.

The passenger door of the vehicle is stuck and unable to open. It is currently in the body shop as they will need to cut into the door to fix the issue. It has gotten stuck previously but has been able to be opened, this time it will not open know matter how much effort is put in. I believe this is a major safety issue, as you will not be able to get out if an accident or incident occurs

Vehicle will not go forward when accelerating, the vehicle does go in reverse. It is available for inspection at Nissan Vacaville. It is a safety risk as I was driving, it stalled in turning lane on street and wouldn't go. I had to have it put in neutral so I could get it to a safe location so I could have it towed to my residence. I have a service report saying that there's a faulty piece in the transmission by Nissan In Vacaville. No indication that there were any issues to the vehicle when I took it for service on Saturday 2/28/26. No lights came on the car or anything that would warrant an issue.
