HVAC unit doesn’t function properly which causes a lot of distractions while driving. When set at 60 or 61 degrees with AC off car air is cool. When set at 62 or higher it blows very hot where it becomes uncomfortable. It leads to always having to play with buttons and knobs. Nissan says it’s functioning properly even though there is a forum of people with same issue.

While running errands on yesterday, car shut off several times while stopped at traffic light. Several lights appeared on dashboard, including engine oil, battery, automatic emergency braking and slip indicator lights. While stopped, had to put car in park turn the car off and then turn the car on again. My battery is in good condition. Was able to drive home, let the car sit and then approx 30 mins later, cranked the car back up and the lights went away and car was running like normal.

A few weeks ago while I was driving 50mph on a completely dry hwy the slip indicator came on. I thought I accidentally hit traction control so i hit that button and then realized they we two different icons. Shortly after the slip indicator came on the screen popped up saying Malfunction See owners manual. I pulled over where lights just started popping on and then my car died. After waiting 6 hours for a tow truck it was finally brought to the dealership. they did their inspection and said I needed a new alternator and they replaced that. Today 3 weeks later my car was parked. I was going to leave as my car was on and Malfunction see owners manual and the slip indicator started popping on. I went to put it in reverse and could not press the peddles and gravity rolled me back. I then had to throw it into park to stop it. I turned off my car and same thing again. I turned it off again and restarted and it was fine. I took it back to the dealership and they are still trying to figure out what is going on. this is extremely dangerous especially it stopping when driving. Looks like I am not the only one having this problem.

Upon acceleration vehicle stalls and will not move forward, I had to put car in park, turn off and then restart engine to accelerate. This issue has happened many times over the last month with no idea of what the faulty issue might be. I was almost side wiped in an intersection due to the car not wanting to accelerate and it requiring to be restarted to get it to move. It only does this after driving and coming to a stop and then attempting to move forward. There has been a message thats come across the dashboard twice that says system off, however it's not causing the check engine light to come on.

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.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Nissan Altima, Armada, Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Titan Diesel, Versa Note and Versa Sedan vehicles, as well as Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80 vehicles. Additionally included are 2019 Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.
