2020 Nissan Kicks

Transmission is defective by design. Fails in an unsafe manner which leaves the vehicle in a fully driving state throwing no error codes. The car however with randomly loose traction and slip while driving at roughly 40 mph. Nissan refused to address the issue without ~$8k to replace the transmission and online articles suggest these are defective and will just break again soon after replacing.

They have replaced the transmission two times and this transmission is going bad, it's slipping, shuddering, and hesitating when you hit the gas. This car is a death trap waiting to happen. Nissan knows they put junk transmissions in these cars but still sells them. Nissan is going to end up hurting/killing a lot of innocent lives. It's not safe to be driving this car around, half the time the car doesn't want to go when you hit the gas. My daughter turns 16 and will not be driving this death trap. Nissan needs to recall the 2020 Nissan Kicks SV transmissions too. I do have all the paperwork from the transmissions being put it. I get the run around with the dealer. The vibration issue and they say it'll do that at 90. The collision light is ALWAYS coming on (I have pictures of that too)

Transmission failed before the car reaching 15,000 miles. The car dealership replaced the transmission after two week in the shop. They did not provide a loner car so I was without a car for 2 weeks. After the car was worked and the new transmission installed, it was given back to me. Today 12/16 I had to take it back to the dealership because it’s giving a check engine indication. The dealership informed it is a known issue with this cars but I haven’t seen any recalls. Today, my car has no warranty since it expired. This is unacceptable.

ENTERING HIGHWAY OR TRAFFIC CAR HESITATES NO POWER . SEEMS LIKE THE ENGINE ISNT PROVIDING ENOUGH GAS FOR TAKE OFF, THIS IS WITH THE PEDAL ACCELERATOR COMPLETELY PRESSED DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. SCARY WHEN YOUR ENTEREING TRAFFIC. HAD BACK TO DEALER ONCE AND SAID ALL WAS FINE. IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT BUT NOT ALL THE TIME MAINLY WHEN YOU COME TO AN ALMOST STOP AND TRY TO GO. I LOOKED ON LINE FOR BULLITINS AND CAME ACROSS CLASSIFICATION AT19-002D REFERENCE NTB19-040D.
