FRONT SENSOR FOR THE VEHICAL KEEPS STATING THAT THE SENSOR IS OBSTRUCTED. THE EXTERIOR OF THE CAR HAS BEEN CLEANED AND LOOKED AT BY THE DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO DO SO, DUE TO THE CLAIM THAT RAIN AND BUGS ARE THE CAUSE OF SETTING OFF THE SENSOR. THE SENSOR HAS BEEN GOING OFF SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN AUGUST OF 2018.

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 FIXED AT THE DEALER SO IT DOES HAPPEN AGAIN ON ANY GIVEN DAY OR TIME.

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.

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SUSPENSION
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

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.
