2019 Nissan Kicks complaints

While driving on the hwy, my toddler was able to unclip his chest clip on carseat. I pulled over and obsereved that his chest clip does not securely latch every time that I buckle him in. It unlatches without pressing on the buttons that are supposed to unlatch the clip. It does this by pushing on the backside of the chest clip. I am unable to properly and safely restrain my toddler in his new carseat that I bought April of this year.

When I try to accelerate after a red light, I feel a bang from my car, later the car don't move to any direction, engine still running. It have to be towed to repair shop. The diagnostic was catastrophic failure. The option was replace the transmission. The car previously never give me a sing of failure.

Xtronic CVT Transmission--available for inspection The car stalled out on a busy interstate exit. The dealership has inspected it and said that they can't pull any codes off of it and looks mechanically sound.

The CVT transmission in my Kicks slips every time I try to accelerate. It will also stall out from time to time, lose power and die. I've had this happen on an interstate before, almost causing a serious wreck. I have taken it to the dealership multiple times and they keep telling me that there is nothing wrong with it mechanically that they can see.

Nissan kicks stalls at red lights so that I have to completely shut down the car open the driver door and restart the engine to get it to move. The engine, oil, and the battery lights all turn on before the engine shuts down and sometimes it is others (as pictured below)that can appear. Car starts to tremble after it happens. Been to check it out and nothing came upon it, still happening several times.

Car has an issue where the automatic emergency braking system (AEB) and the vehicle dynamic control off(VDC) lights simultaneously go on the dashboard. Shortly after the car will stall while idle at red lights. Car will also have trouble going above 2500 rpm when this happens. Causing the car to drive very slow in traffic. Becomes very hard to get to a safe place to park putting myself and passengers in danger. The check engine light for Mass airflow sensor will also go off. When replaced it doesn't fix issue. The check engine light will go off again for (MAS) or intake air temp sensor. Neither can be fixed by replacing these parts. Reading forums many people are having this exact issue with the 2019 Nissan Kicks S. Brought my car to Nissan for issue. They could not figure out the problem in order to fix it. This has been a recurring issue since 2021 with no intention by Nissan to fix it.

Due to the negligence of Pep Boys service department, the wrong size tires were placed on my car. This has led to My warranty for my transmission being denied related to an unauthorized modification(that I was unaware of). This has caused me undue stress, headaches, out-of-pocket expenses, and chest pain. As of now,I have not received a response for replacement tires for my 2019 kicks. Pep Boys technician placed an incorrect-size tire on my car which resulted in a modification that resulted in my warranty not covering my transmission. I am requesting this issue be corrected. 225/50R17 should have been 205/55R17

Warning lights indicate ABS and slippery road assist not functioning intermittently.

Symptoms: *Automatic Emergency Braking (3 occasions) *Slip Indicator (3 occasions) *Check Engine -Code P0101 (Been on 4 weeks so far) Road Condition: *Dry sunny days AEB and Slip Indicator lights randomly came on 3 different times. On the 3rd time, Check Engine light came on together and it's been on ever since. AEB and Slip lights go away after the car is turned off. Having AEB and Slip lights on makes the car drive like it is on the lower gear and the engine shut off at every red light. I started noticing the smell of excess gasoline fume especially when the car is moving but not accelerating, meaning that when my foot is off the gas pedal. Because P0101 indicates MAF sensor malfunction, I replaced with a Hitachi-made MAF sensor. For some strange reason, the car lost battery power so I ended up replacing battery at the same time. Unfortunately, the Check Engine Light is still on.

The Motor/engine consumes excess oil creating a burnt smell and a lot of whitesmoke coming out of the muffler. The vehicle is stalling constantly and won’t accelerate properly while driving. Creating an unsafe environment for me and those driving near me. I have repair and install new piece but non of them would fix the problem. I took it to the dealer and they didn’t find the problem. I have heard of a lot of people having the same issue with this model of vehicle.

The car has massive acceleration during shifting in the transmission and the car suddenly stops during driving and loses the power to accelerate

Car keeps malfunctioning the airbag light won’t cut off it keeps picking up speed after i use cruise control it’s jerking .

My Kicks keeps giving the front collision warning, showing malfunction-see owner's manual, the traction light, front impact light and check engine light come on. Then it is extremely slow to accelerate and often doesn't get over 25 mph. In order to get the car working again, you have to pull over, turn the car off, open the door and close the door, and restart the car. Sometimes you have to unplug some sensor on top of the motor and plug it back in to get the car to work.

My car shut off while I was driving it with no warning and almost caused an accident. I have already had spark plugs and battery replaced as well as routine maintenance and it has shut off on me 3 times already.

October 2019, I purchased a 2019 Nissan kicks and had no issues until last December. Took the car to the dealership because it would start jerking randomly when trying to accelerate. I’ve taken my car to the dealership for this issue 6 times and each time I’m told something different. I’ve had my transmission replaced twice within 7 months, new throttle body, mass air flow sensor and my ECM replaced and the jerking is still there but has never triggered the check engine light.

The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Kicks. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle failed to properly accelerate. While in reverse, the vehicle failed to shift into another gear. Additionally, while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle was slow to accelerate. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who stated that the vehicle was working as designed. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Car malfunctions while driving car stalls at 0 car cuts off air bags stuck on car was one of the ones that did not get fixed i recently just purchased this vechicle and it was used by a fleet company so it never got serviced when it had recalls

My engine light came on, took it down to autozone they said it was the mass airflow. But then took the icon off. I took it to a repair shop and what they found is my car had 3 software updates causing bug fixes and said that Nissan can fix that for free since I have an extended warranty.

The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Kicks. The contact stated while at a stop light, the vehicle lost motive power and the system off warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the steering wheel then became firm. The contact shifted the vehicle into neutral and the vehicle started operating normally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but no failure was found. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted but no assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.

When I am driving my car the collision brake come on and my car will reduce speed and the not accurate. The car would still be started but will not move upon me pushing the acceleration. When I start my car and I’m reversing it will not move upon me accelerating, when I put the car in drive it will jerk and take off really fast. At a red light after coming to a complete stop my car will not accelerate after me pushing the gas, leaving me stuck in traffic in the middle of the street. This is completely unsafe to myself as well as my baby. I am scared to drive my car. I have taken my car in numerous times to the Nissan dealership and it still does the same thing, costing me money.

The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Kicks. The contact stated that while making sharp left and right turns, she heard a grinding sound near the floorboard. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the air flow sensor failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 65-70 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle however, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer however, the failure could not be duplicated. The contact stated that she used an OBD scanner and performed a diagnostic test on the vehicle that produced code: P101 (Indicating that the mass air flow sensor was faulty). Additionally, the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, while depressing the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, the vehicle failed to respond as needed. The contact stated that she had to apply added pressure and pump the brake pedal several times to coast the vehicle to a stop. The contact stated that the mitigation braking system failed. The ABS warning light and the Forward Collision Avoidance warning light were intermittently illuminated. Additionally, the air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed to take the vehi

The vehicle constantly shuts off when idle or at times when in motion. The automatic emergency braking (AEB) system warning light turns on as well as the slip indicator. When it finally turns back on after placing it in park and stepping on the brake, the engine barely accelerates. The RPMs drop and then surges to compensate about every 30 seconds. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer on several occasions and Nissan has yet to figure out what the issue is.

On May 14, 2023 i recieved a 'Key System Warning" took my car to the Nissan dealer (Newport News, VA) Monday 15 May, was told I needed to have the Nissan per the mechanic, the error code was 6534 CN $330.00 1 34901-5RC0A Device Away - Transmission Control $375.58 18341 error message for I key due etc b2602 needs to be replaced cut shift selector

When attempting to shift the car out of Park whenever it is parked on an incline, it is difficult to move the shifter out of Park and when it does it klangs/bangs loudly. I have taken the car back to the dealership and they tested and confirmed the problem and said they know about this from others but Nissan has not addressed it and currently there is no service bulletin or fix. They suggested applying the e-brake before shifting into Park when shutting off the engine and then reversing the procedure when restarting. This did not work. I am worried this will damage the transmission and possibly fail to hold the car while parked on a slope. There are no lights or codes active.

During times of weather rain or ice, the AEB system malfunctions. First the slip indicator light comes on. Then a message says that there is a malfunction and to see manual. Next the AEB light will come on. Once both lights are on, the car shudders. Steering is difficult at this point. Next the battery light and oil lights will turn on then the car shuts off while driving. You can no longer hear the engine and acts as if the car was not started. When this occurs I often have to find safety or attempt to “jump start” by shutting the car off completely then turning it back on. The incident repeats itself but will go away after weather is clear. This is a major safety risk specifically while driving and the car shudders then cuts off completely while in drive.

The contact's mother owns a 2019 Nissan Kicks. The contact stated while she was driving approximately 43 MPH, an unknown object struck underneath the vehicle. The contact stated that after pulling over and turning off the vehicle, the vehicle failed to restart. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was then towed to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and was towed back to the residence. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 58,000.

Recently had brake sytem replaced and it was done incorrectly. Almost had a wreck and issue has drained my battery and cauing issues to alternator too. Constantly having issues with heat and now my AC. Have to constantly pay diagnostic charges. Request drive belt be replaced.

The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Kicks. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, there were three unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Kicks. The contact stated while driving various speeds, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled without warning. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle eventually operated as designed. The contact indicated that the failure had occurred on eight different occasion and each time the vehicle was either driven or towed to the local dealer. Each time the service center was unable to determine the cause of the failure. A Master Technician was sent to the residence to service the vehicle however, the failure continued. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 10,000.

The front collision warning light came on and the vehicle would not accelerate. I pulled over, stopped, turned off the car for about 5 minutes. I restarted it and and the front collision ⚠ still didn't turn off and would not accelerate. In park the rpms did not move when I pressed the gas pedal. I turned the car off again for 5 minutes. I opened the hood and closed it and cleared snow from around the tires. I started it and the front collision light went off but the check engine light stays on now. Since then the car will randomly skip and jerk when accelerated between 25 and 35 mph. I checked with auto zone and they said the code is the ECM. Electronic Control Module. I'm going to have it inspected by a mechanic to confirm the issue.

My gear snapped off when i was putting it back into park

Transmission failed for 2019 Nissan kicks need to b replaced n it’s expensive

Front crash sensor comes on occassionally, drive train is now knocking, and radio now has a mind of its own won't display will just randomly increase volume

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.

Problem is with the cars computer. It is sending out codes and has caused my car to stall while driving it. Also has sent out false sensor warnings because of that.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE FREEWAY APPROXIMATELY GOING 55MPH, THEN I WANTED TO BREAK SLIGHTLY, BUT I WAS UNABLE TOO, BECAUSE MY CAR KEPT ACCELERATING. IT DIDNT WANT TO STOP. LUCKILY THERE WASNT CARS NEXT ME. I MANAGED TO PULL MY EMERGENCY BREAK UP AND SLAM ON MY BREAKS AGAIN. CAR GOT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY COULDNT FIND AN ISSUE. THIS HAPPENED 10/21/22. AND IT HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN 10/29 EXCEPT I WAS OFF THE FREEWAY. SAME PROBLEM MY CAR KEPT ACCELERATING, ITS ALMOST AS IT WAS STUCK. I GOT MY CAR TOWED AGAIN TO DEALERSHIP. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING TO SEE WHAT THEY TELL ME. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME. I AM NOT A NEW DRIVER AND I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW IN 2019. IT HAPPEN TWICE WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. I AM VERY CONCERNED AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH MY VEHICLE.

I bought the Nissan Kicks in April 2019, with a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty. At 34,710 miles the ABS system comes on. I took the car to the technician authorized by the manufacturer. He detects a code, C1110-04, and recommends that I replace the ABS controller and actuator. That's over a $4,000 repair for a car that only has 34,710 miles on it. I think the problem is a safety issue since the ABS works with the car's brakes. The technician told me that if it is not fixed, the brake system may not be working properly. Since I bought the car, there has been no sign of the problem. The first time I saw the problem was on Sept 29, 2022.

Car malfunctioned cut off while driving no speed braking barely works consistently malfunctions atleast 5 times a week can’t go over 60 without it malfunctioning

Vehicle is new, the collision sensors come on for no reason, 3 times a month, sensors come on car stalls and turns off, once restarted sensor warning is gone, then your able to drive, keeps happening.

The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Kicks.

I have reached approximately 67k miles in my 2019 Nissan Kicks SR and the front passenger wheel bearing is going out and needs replaced already. I found out after having my car appraised on July 15th, 2022 and then on about August 4th, 2022 I could hear a loud hum like noise and felt an almost warbling feeling when driving over 40mph. I noticed on a forum that other people have experienced this issue as early as 5k-10k miles on their Kicks vehicles as well. Website forum; https://www.nissankicksforum.com/threads/wheel-bearings.983/ I believe if multiple parties have endured this issue with the same vehicle it may be a manufacturing issue.

There was no "incident" but I bought a car from a dealership. The salesman didn't let me take it on the road, only around the parking lot ( so I didn't notice the problem). Since I had driven a similar car at another dealership on the road, I didn't think anything of it. (Dumb, I know). When I drove away, I immediately noticed that the speedometer wasn't working. I turned around at the next exit and headed back...less that 30 minutes. Me: "The speedometer isn't working!" Mgr"we have that part on order and will call you when it comes in." Me:"I told (the salesman) I was going out of town Tuesday (this was a Saturday) and I need a working speedometer." Mgr: "You can get out of a ticket that way. If you get pulled over, just tell the cop that your speedometer isn't working and that will get you out of a ticket." Me: "Where is my old car"? Mgr: "I don't know" Me : I want it back. I want my old car back! Mgr: "Once you sign the papers, we don't return cars." When I got back from out of town, I told the finance mgr what was said to me....He said, "did you get stopped?" Me: "no" FM: "Then, there's no problem" Me: "Sending me out without a speedometer is pretty important. Almost like sending me out without brakes" FM: "Oh, it's not that bad."

THE TRANSMISSION SLIIPPED SO BAD THAT IT LURCHED ME FORWARD AND ALMOST TO STAND STILL TRAFFIC ! I NEARLY HIT OIL TANKER I WAS. ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE SAFELY OFF THE ROAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME AND I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET IT IN THE PARKING LOT !! THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AFRIAD TO TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ARE TRAINED TO SCAM CUSTOMER I HAVE HAD REGULAR MAINTAINCE ON IT SINCE I HAVE HAD IT. NISSAN FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY MAKE CRAPPY CARS!!

Car stalls at red lights and the engine turns off with no warning. After, car turns back on and has rough idle and flashes all lights on the dashboard. Went to Nissan dealership and it’s an issue with the mass airflow sensor and throttle body. Coincidentally, the issues arise after the warranty period. Expensive fix and safety issues for city driving.

I was not aware when I purchased my Nissan last year that the CVT transmissions were crap now my transmission is slipping ! I can’t afford to trade in my car or buy another transmission ! Nissan or the dealer didn’t disclose of this !! I am a widowed mother of two and I need my vehicle to provide for my family ! Nissan should rembursh all the people they scammed so they can purchase a brand new non Nissan car !! Nissan should be out of business

When car is turned on, and is on idle within 3 minutes it shuts off. When driving around town and stopped at light or slowly driving car will turn off. Engine will shake at times and refuse to go into drive and move as if it were put into neutral. Break lights are beginning to turn while in drive. Especially when turning car on, I have to bring the break clutch up and back down to turn off. however, the light will turn on again and beep while in drive. All the radio does is constantly shut down all the time and reset itself, or completely freeze. Collision light also turns on when stopped in light, or driving. I have to continuously turn the car off and wait until the car is safe to drive. Problems began when I first bought the car in 2019, and has continues until today. Many customers do complain about the same problems they have about the car.

The front collision sensor activated three times when I drove in highway. The car ran very show and its a danger situation that will cause an accident.. I vist two times the dealer Ramar at Humacao, Puerto Rico and they dont do anything because the sensor reset when the vehicule shutdown.

Vehicle Speed - Engine while traveling at a speed of 45 MPH the vehicle began to decelerate without warning. The vehicle would not travel more than 35 MPH

While traveling 45 MPH, vehicle dash lights illuminated and vehicle stalled and would not exceed 35 MPH
