“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11280169, filed 2019-11, 5,023 miles“I was driving 30 MPH straight and had to make a left turn. There was a car coming in the opposite direction I was driving so I had to slow down and come to a stop to let the car pass before I turned. When the car passed and I went to turn left my car would not move. My car was still on and in drive with no warning's on. I put my car in park and put it back in drive and it still wouldn't move. I had to turn my car off and back on for it to be able to move. This is a critical issue that needs to be fixed immediately because it could leave fatalities. …”
