This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Symptoms: *Automatic Emergency Braking (3 occasions) *Slip Indicator (3 occasions) *Check Engine -Code P0101 (Been on 4 weeks so far) Road Condition: 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.
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'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.

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.
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
The transmission in this car is a CVT and it pulls very bad and there is times that it smells like rubber is burning under the car people safety is put at risk because it could start a fire under there. And you could be driving in the freeway at a speed of 55 and suddenly the speed slows down to like 25 that it can make you almost get in to accident that's another way that your safety is at risk, there is a lot malfunctions with this transmission and they are aware of it, this should be a recall were they should be replacing these transmissions on these cars
I was driving normally on the road and all of a sudden the check engine lights, automatic collision notification and swerving alarm all come on at the same time. Had no reason to. I stopped the car shut it of and on and all left except the check engine light
Radio turns off and on. On its own!!! car stops on it's own!!! transmission slips in reverse on hills!! now a grinding noise when starting the vehicle. Only have had my Kicks 1 year!!! I am livid!!!!! I am so mad!!! I have a 3 year old and I cannot risk my life because a brand new car stops in the middle of the highway!!!!
My Nissan Kicks 2019 have a few problems. First it turn on the sensor of check engine. Also the traction control sensor is on. But the worst of all is that the the front proximity sensor is giving up false alarms and is stopping the car while driving. This is driving me crazy because the car does it on unexpected places. Is this happening only to my car? I am going to take my car for service but it make me feel afraid that it could happen again.
Car stalls when pulling into city traffic from an intersection. Appears as if engine won't take fuel when I have accelerator depressed. Happened several times and dealer says nothing shows up on cars computer as a problem.
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!
