2020 Nissan Kicks

The contact owns a 2020 Nissan Kicks. The contact stated that the front driver's side air bag warning light was illuminated. The Forward Collision Avoidance feature independently activated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that parts were not yet available. In addition, the contact was advised that the fee for the front driver's side air bag replacement would be paid out of pocket. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact later discovered that the dealer had activated the front driver's air bag sensor without permission. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000. The VIN was unavailable.

While traveling in heavy traffic my kicks went into limp mode and all front crash sensors were illuminated. I was stuck on a busy interstate. Took car to dealer they stated it was the ECM, they replace it under warranty. I had the car back 5 days and it did it again in heavy traffic. The first thing it does is cuts out then 30 sec later back in limo mode All the same sensors everything. Took the car back now they say the alternator is starting to fail. And this part is not covered under warranty. Now I'm paying for something I truly don't believe is a problem especially when the computer readout they showed me continues to point to the front sensors. I travel for work every day and this car makes me feel very unsafe as I travel busy highways I now feel I have to plan for this to happen and how am I going to get off the highway to a safe location, with construction it is very scary at times. This vehicle is starting to interfere with my job. I have voluntarily surrender the vehicle back to the bank, I have been unable to trade it in because I owe too much on it. And they don't want to deal with the issues it's been having.

The contact owns a 2020 Nissan Kick. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at approximately 20-25 MPH and attempting to make a left turn, the vehicle suddenly lost control causing the vehicle to go straight across the road instead of completing the left turn. The vehicle crashed into 2 mailboxes before it came to a stop. The passenger side wheel bent outward causing the passenger side fender to lodge into the door. The driver-side wheel had turned in the opposite direction. The passenger side axle detached from the transmission. The lower ball joint detached from the lower control arm and the sway bar had fractured The air bags did not deploy. The mailboxes were damaged. The contact received bruising to their abdominal area. No medical attention was received. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a repair center where the passenger side axle, passenger side lower control arm, and both front wheels and rims were replaced. Several sensors associated with the front of the vehicle, the bumper, the fender, the passenger side headlight assembly, struts, and suspension were all replaced as well. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 22,485.

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.

Over a period of 3 days leading up to the braking incident the Collison warning came on periodically when there was no need, the sensor on the dash on the left,right and front of the vehicle image went yellow, the Malfunction light came on and the Collison warning with no cars around. On the November 9th, 2023 I got the collison warning (looks like 2 cars)and it went away. However that day I was pulling forward from a green light and as I was through the intersection the car suddenly braked stopping the car and a red square appeared on the dash with a letter in it - not sure what it was as I was trying to ensure I was not going to be rear-ended. I was the first car from the light so there was no car ahead of me and no reason for the car to brake and stop. The car behind reacted and went around me avoiding a rear-end collison- Lucky for us. I cautiously continued home and parked and did not drive the car except to the dealer for them to check. Their initial response was bad battery and I'm still waiting. I am afraid to drive this car. What if that was at higher speeds on a highway and a larger behind us. Would we have survived. I don't think so.

The failure mileage was 55,000.

I purchased a Nissan Kicks 2020 7 weeks ago. Yesterday while at a stop light, the engine shut off and then the battery and oil light popped on. This was extremely dangerous as I was on a busy highway and had to panic on what to do. I ended up having to put it in park and cut it back on. After researching this online, I have found other people are having the exact same issue. I checked for a recall and see NONE! How has there not been a recall? I had my three children in the car with me (one being a newborn) and was scared to death!
