AIR BAGS
MY MOTHER HAD AN ACCIDENT THAT TOTALED THE AUTOMOBILE. THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD WITH LESS THAN 2500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE ACCIDENT WAS A FRONT END COLLISION AND THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE PASSENGER'S SIDE DID DEPLOY. NISSAN USA IS NOT RESPONDING. A REPORT HAS BEEN FILED. THE FRONT DRIVER'S AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. I AM BEEN DESIGNATED BY MY MOTHER TO ADDRESS THIS AS SHE SUFFERED SEVER INJURIES DUE TO THE FAULTY AI BAG AND MY FARTHER HAS DEMENTIA AND CANNOT PROPERLY REPLAY THE CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS WAS A SINGLE CAR ACCIDENT RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL WHICH RESULTED IN STRIKING A TELEPHONE POLE RH FRONT JUST OFF CENTER.*DT*DT*JB*JB*DT*JB

THERE IS A GRINDING SOUND THAT SEEMS TO COME FROM THE PASSENGER'S FRONT QUARTER OF MY KICKS. I CANNOT REPLICATE IT. I HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND SEEMS TO DECELERATE THE CAR. IT NORMALLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM PULLING OUT OF MY APARTMENT COMPLEX. I CANNOT RECREATE THE ISSUE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A DEALER A FEW WEEKS AGO FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK IT OUT. THEY SAID NOTHING SEEMED WRONG AND OF COURSE THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE SOUND EITHER. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS COINCIDENCE OR NOT, BUT MY FUEL EFFICIENCY HAS SEEMED TO DECREASE AS WELL. IT USE TO BE AROUND THE 27.7 AREA AND NOW IT HOVERS IN THE 25.7 RANGE. BOTH OF WHICH ARE BELOW THE ESTIMATES WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR.

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LARRY H MILLER NISSAN IN MESA AZ, DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. VEHICLE CONTINUED TO MAKE GRINDING NOISES FROM WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE TRANSMISSION. ALTHOUGH THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND PASSENGERS HEAR THE GRINDING NOISE ALMOST ON A EVER-OTHER DAY BASIS, SAME DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FUEL: I FILLED THE TANK AND THE READING WAS MUCH LOWER, AS IF I HAD LESS GAS IN THE TANK. I FILLED THE TANK, AND DRIVING 1 MILE, THE READING SAID I DROVE 3 MILES, SO I WAS LOSING 3 MILES OF GAS PER 1 MILE DRIVE. I TOOK IT INTO NISSAN AND THEY SAID THE TANK WAS READING ACCURATELY. AFTER THEY TOOK A LOOK, I NOTICE I WASN'T LOSING GAS AS BEFORE, I THINK THEY DID A RESET AND NOW LOOKS TO BE WORKING. THIS TOOK PLACE ON 01/20-23/2020 OTHER: I BOUGHT THE CAR IN FOR A GRINDING NOISE, CAME OUT TO BE WHEEL BEARING REPLACEMENT ON MY BRAND NEW CAR. VERY DISAPPOINTING. REPLACEMENT ON 01/09/2020

TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN IFFY. RANDOMLY SLIPPING RPMS. DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY EVERYTHING SHUT OFF AND IT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD MULTIPLE CARS NARROWLY MISSING ME. I COULD HAVE DIED BECAUSE OF A BROKEN TRANSMISSION! ONLY FOUR MONTHS OLD BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW ONLY 5K MILES ON IT. THIS IS NOT OKAY! THIS COULD HAVE KILLED ME AND PEOPLE AROUND ME! UNACCEPTABLE!

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.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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

SEATS
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)
