FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 NISSAN KICKS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL, THE FUEL GAGE FAILED TO PROVIDE AN ACCURATE READING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ED MARTIN NISSAN OF ANDERSON (2115 E 53RD ST, ANDERSON, IN 46013, (765) 442-1100), BUT WAS DIAGNOSED BUT NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

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 AND STILL NO RESOLUTION. I LEFT THE VEHICLE AND I JUST HOPE THAT THIS TIME ALL MY ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE WIL BE RESOLVED. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM NISSAN AGAIN.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
DRIVING LIKE NORMAL AND THE CAR AHEAD OF ME SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID A WRECK I SLAMMED ON MINE TO PREVENT THIS AFTERWARD TRAFFIC STARTED MOVING ON AND THE COLLISION AND IMPACT SENSOR CAME ON BUT I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING. I HAVE LOOKED AT THE MANUAL AND IT WILL NOT TELL THE OWNER ME HOW TO GET THE CRASH LIGHT TO GO OFF. EVEN ONLINE YOU CAN FIND NOTHING ABOUT HOW TO RESET OR TURN OFF THE ALERT. THE OTHER ALERT IS FOR THE ASSISTED BRAKING FEATURE IT DIDN'T WORK BUT THE LIGHT CAME ON BUT WILL NOT GO OFF AND THERE ARE NO INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO RESET IT OR TAKE IT OFF. NOT EVEN THE FACTORY RESET OR UNPLUGGING THE BATTERY WILL MAKE IT GO OFF. I BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE KICKS FROM SAID THEY WOULD FIX THE ERROR BUT THEY WILL CHARGE ME TO DO SO WHICH I THINK IS WRONG SINCE IT IS NOT WRECKED BUT JUST MALFUNCTIONING. IF I KNEW TO GET SOMETHING ON THE KICKS WAS GOING TO BE LIKE PULLING TEETH II WOULD HAVE STUCK WITH THE ALTIMA AS I DID WITH MY LAST PREVIOUS PURCHASES WITH NISSAN. NOT HAPPY AND IT'S JUST LIKE WITH THE TOUCH SCREEN IT FREEZES UP AND THE USB TO IT WILL QUIT WORKING TO THE POINT YOU HAVE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE JUST SO IT WILL WORK AGAIN EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE AND I WAS THINKING MY CORDS WEREN'T OPERATING RIGHT OR WORN OUT.

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
NISSAN KICKS 2018 (BOUGHT JULY 2018) - PROBLEMS WITH FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR AND APPROXIMATE MILEAGE DATA. PROBLEMS WITH FUEL GAUGE AFTER TANK REFILLED AND DURING MOVING. PROBLEM EXISTS PERMANENTLY AND RELEASED IN NOVEMBER 2018, JUST 4 MONTHS AFTER BUYING. DEALERSHIP SERVICE COULD NOT REALIZE WHAT IS WRONG WITH FUEL GAUGE AFTER MORE THEN 3 INVESTIGATIONS. THEIR SOFTWARE COULD NOT REALIZE THE REASON OF ISSUE AND HOW TO SOLVE IT. RISKS - DRIVER DISINFORMATION AND POSSIBILITY TO STUCK WITHOUT FUEL ON HIGHWAY. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED FILE: 1. CAR HAS A GASOLINE AND FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR DISPLAYS IT, BUT "APPROXIMATE MILEAGE' DISPLAYED AS - - - - KM 2. 0.0 KM AND "APPROXIMATE MILEAGE' IS 71 KM. CAR REFILLED WITH A GASOLINE > FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR BAR IS NOT INCREASED AFTER GASOLINE REFILLING. 3. CAR MOVED 31.7 KM. "APPROXIMATE MILEAGE" DECREASED ONLY BY 10 KM, FROM 71 KM TO 61 KM. BUT THE CAR MOVED 31.7 KM ! FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR BAR ADDED 3 MORE BARS SUDDENLY.

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.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE A NISSAN KICKS 2019 AT NAPLES NISSAN IN MAY 2019 AT 5 MILES AND IT STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS IN SEPTEMBER 2019. SWAYING AND SHIMMY FEELINGS, FLOATING ON THE HIGHWAY ESPECIALLY OVER BUMPS AND LANE CHANGES IN THE RAIN ITS WORSE. I TOOK IT TO NAPLES NISSAN TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM THEY SAID THE ROAD WAS UNLEVEL AFTER REQUESTING THE MANAGER THEY PUT IT ON MACHINE AND CLAIM IT NEEDED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT.I GOT THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT SAME SITUATION. HONESTLY I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS A WHEEL ALIGNMENT ISSUE BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT OFF BUT WHAT DO I KNOW. ALL I KNEW WAS IT FELT THE SAME WAY SCARY ,UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS.I CONTACTED NISSAN CORPORATE OFFICE AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE TO ANOTHER DEALER WHICH I DID. AFTER TAKING IT TO SURTHERLIN NISSAN THEY CHECK THE VEHICLE AND CLAIM THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG SAID IT WAS THE WIND.THEY HAD MY VEHICLE ALL DAY AND ONLY DROVE THE CAR FOR 6 MILES AND STATED 2 PEOPLE DROVE VEHICLE AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS AND THAT SINCE I HAD A TRUCK WHICH WAS A NISSAN ARMANDA THERES A DIFFERENCE. I DRIVE THIS CAR ONE AND HALF HOURS EVERY DAY, I HAVE NUMEROUS AMOUNT OF CARS NEVER FELT THIS BEFORE. I ALMOST GOT INTO ACCIDENT DUE TO CAR GOING IN ITS ON DIRECTION. I HAD TO TAKE DAYS OFF OF WORK. I AM SCARE TO DRIVE OR ALLOW MY DAUGHTER TO DRIVE THIS CAR IT'S A SERIOUS PROBLEM IT'S SCARY,UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS FOR MY LIFE AND OTHERS I NEED SOMEONE HELP. THANK YOU

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SUSPENSION
PURCHASED 2018 NISSAN KICKS WITH 1,000 MILES ON IT ON 08/16/19. HAS BEEN TO DEALER TWICE NOW. CLICKING SOUND IN SPEEDOMETER AREA (STARTED 2 DAYS WITHIN PURCHASE) WHICH HAS BEEN COMPLAINED ABOUT 3 TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THERE IS NO REASON AS THEY CANNOT HEAR IT (I HAVE VIDEOED NUMEROUS TIMES) . WITHIN A WEEK OF PURCHASE THE A WARNING SIGN CAME ONTO DASH STATING UNABLE TO DETECT FRONT CRASH SENSOR AND WITHIN SECONDS FRONT CRASH LIGHT APPEARED. AT THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING 25-30 MPH AND THERE WAS NOT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME FOR AT LEAST 100 YEARS. HUSBAND TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT HEAR CLICKING SOUND BUT CLAIMED IT WAS THE FRONT SENSOR THAT COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND ORDERED NEW PART. ON 09/27/19 CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER TO REPLACE FRONT SENSOR - AGAIN CLICKING SOUND WAS MENTIONED TO DEALER AND I WAS TOLD AGAIN THEY COULD NOT HEAR IT AND IT WAS PROBABLY THE CAR WAKING UP. SINCE I LET THE DEALER MY FRONT END MAKES A SQUEAKY/CREAKING SOUND, AND THE ACCELERATOR HAS BEEN DELAYED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND AFTER ALREADY STOPPED TO START DRIVING AGAIN. VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THIS VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING 30 MPH STRAIGHT AND HAD TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. THERE WAS A CAR COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION I WAS DRIVING SO I HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND COME TO A STOP TO LET THE CAR PASS BEFORE I TURNED. WHEN THE CAR PASSED AND I WENT TO TURN LEFT MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. MY CAR WAS STILL ON AND IN DRIVE WITH NO WARNING'S ON. I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE AND IT STILL WOULDN'T MOVE. I HAD TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON FOR IT TO BE ABLE TO MOVE. THIS IS A CRITICAL ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE IT COULD LEAVE FATALITIES. THANK GOODNESS NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME OR I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I AM NOW AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE BECAUSE OF THIS INCIDENT, ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY.

NISSAN AEB (AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING) HAS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT COULD LEAVE PEOPLE SERIOUSLY INJURED THAT COULD BE FATAL. THE AEB SYSTEM SOMETIMES MALFUNCTIONS ON A BROAD RANGE OF NISSANS CAUSING THEM TO ABRUPTLY STOP WHILE STOPPING. THIS IS ONLY SUPPOSED TO OCCUR IN AN ACCIDENT.

THE HEADRESTS FOR THIS CAR ARE OUTRAGEOUSLY PAINFUL. THEY ARE ANGLED TOO FAR FORWARD. I CANNOT DRIVE MY NEW CAR WITHOUT SEVERE LOWER NECK/UPPER BACK PAIN. MY BACK CANNOT TOUCH THE SEAT WITH THE CURRENT HEADREST THAT CAME WITH THE NISSAN KICKS. I KNOW THE NHTSA MANDATED IT BUT YOU NEED TO RECONSIDER. I CANNOT SIT IN MY CAR FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES. ( I JUST BOUGHT IT FOR 18K, I NEED TO BE ABLE TO USE MY CAR)
