The first time the errors (front collision, traction control/slippery road) happened, I was driving my 2019 Nissan Kicks on a dry night in October (10/23). I was going down a medium sized hill with my breaks slightly engaged, about to run into my apartment complex. There was no one in front of me. Lights lit up with an error that said 'Malfunction: See Owner's Manual.' When I went to back into my parking place, it was like I was trying to dry with my parking break engaged--the car was fighting me for every inch. Turned the car off, left it over night; came back in the morning, no more errors. Drove normally. On 12/10, I was going down that same hill, almost same conditions--shortly after sunset, dry road, no one in front of me. Drive down the hill, breaks slightly engaged, Front Collison and Traction controls light up, malfunction. Park...

While I was driving, I pressed the brake pedal. As soon as I applied the brakes, the vehicle abruptly screeched to a halt in a manner that felt abnormal and uncontrollable. Immediately after this sudden stop, the vehicle lost stability. It slid sideways, causing it to rotate and end up facing in a different direction than the one I had been traveling.

Check engine light came on, displaying code P0101, front collision malfunction came on. Replaced MAF sensor for code P0101. The car then displayed the same lights, check engine light and AEB light and slip indicator light. My car then stalled while at a red light.

Driving in various times either oncoming snow fall facing car, or blowing wind facing car. Automatic emergency braking system error shows with 2 car collision light shows. With error coming on car doesn't accelerate or limps very very slow (pull over eventually to the right to stop). Also follows with an engine code. P0101 mass air flow sensor out of range.

1.The system that failed is the traction sensor light and the mass flow air system and the collision sensor light and yes its available for inspection 2. I was driving down [XXX] on [XXX] at [XXX] in rush hour traffic with my [XXX] in the car with me and the collision light and the traction sensor light came on and then the car suddenly stopped in the middle of traffic and i had to restart it. From there i had to keep the car in motion or it would have stopped on me again with my son in the car with me. And then on Sunday [XXX] the check engine light and the traction sensor light and the collision sensor light came on. 3. Yes the problem has been confirmed and reproduced 4. The vehicle has been inspected by "others" A meineke on roswell rd 5. No there were not...

On[XXX] exactly one week after vehicle was purchased the car began stalling at 55 mph. The slip indicator lights and AEB lights came on the dash and I lost all acceleration. The vehicle became impossible to move I had to shut it off and restart it. The lights went off and I made it home, still with decreased acceleration. I have a [XXX] and do not feel safe with a vehicle that loses acceleration and then won't move on a highway. That's how you get rear ended. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer 4/5/25 and I have not heard back from them. After further research and reading forums of other 2019 Kicks owners this is a recurring issue that desperately needs to be recalled. The radio randomly reboots to Nissan screen.

It all started when the electrical system just shut down. Then I had issues with the door locks not working and that electrical system not working. Then the car just stopping - shut off while driving. That was the worst. It just shut off and I could not get it to start again until I let it sit for a few minutes. Spent thousands of dollars on what the Nissan dealers said was wrong, but the issues just kept happening. Now all the lights on the dashboard are lit up, ABS, sensor, tracking, warning. I am attaching a picture for review. After spending so much money on this, I did some research and it seems that this is a continuing issue for Nissan Kicks 2019. Please help, I am tired of spending so much money and not fixing the issue.

The abs module turn on. The car have only 22,000 miles. And 4 years

While driving the car with not weather events, at regular highway speeds the instrument panel began showing a variety of warning symbols The instrument panel contains the following warning lights: Master Warning Light, ABS Warning Light, AEB system warning light, Slip indicator light, and a written Warning panel instructing to see the owner's manual for a malfunction. There is also a front collision icon visible. These lights used to come on and off sporadically but now stay on the entire time the car is turned on. I have read literally hundreds of complaints from Kick's owners stating that their dealerships either: Say that it is a known issue without a solution. Say they have been provided a guide to find the solution. Say they know what needs to be done to correct the problem. In every single instance, when the kicks owner agrees to have repairs/part replacements done, the problem...

The ABS control Module is working intermittently. Nissan states that they have a problem with this so much that there is a backorder on the item. The replacement cost from the manufacturer is between $1500 and $2000.

Car has an issue where the automatic emergency braking system (AEB) and the vehicle dynamic control off(VDC) lights simultaneously go on the dashboard. Shortly after the car will stall while idle at red lights. Car will also have trouble going above 2500 rpm when this happens. Causing the car to drive very slow in traffic. Becomes very hard to get to a safe place to park putting myself and passengers in danger. The check engine light for Mass airflow sensor will also go off. When replaced it doesn't fix issue. The check engine light will go off again for (MAS) or intake air temp sensor. Neither can be fixed by replacing these parts. Reading forums many people are having this exact issue with the 2019 Nissan Kicks S. Brought my car to Nissan for issue. They could not figure out the problem in order to fix it. This has been...

The car has massive acceleration during shifting in the transmission and the car suddenly stops during driving and loses the power to accelerate

My Kicks keeps giving the front collision warning, showing malfunction-see owner's manual, the traction light, front impact light and check engine light come on. Then it is extremely slow to accelerate and often doesn't get over 25 mph. In order to get the car working again, you have to pull over, turn the car off, open the door and close the door, and restart the car. Sometimes you have to unplug some sensor on top of the motor and plug it back in to get the car to work.

During times of weather rain or ice, the AEB system malfunctions. First the slip indicator light comes on. Then a message says that there is a malfunction and to see manual. Next the AEB light will come on. Once both lights are on, the car shudders. Steering is difficult at this point. Next the battery light and oil lights will turn on then the car shuts off while driving. You can no longer hear the engine and acts as if the car was not started. When this occurs I often have to find safety or attempt to “jump start” by shutting the car off completely then turning it back on. The incident repeats itself but will go away after weather is clear. This is a major safety risk specifically while driving and the car shudders then cuts off completely while in drive.

I was driving home from work and was changing lanes when all of the sudden the swerving road,two cars crashing, and check engine light came on. I couldn't accelerate and car lost power. I was in the lane next to the fast lane and cars started honking. I was able to pull over eventually. I waited 10 minutes and started the car and the same thing happened but this time I was stuck in between the HOV lanes and the fast lane. I've never been so terrified before and I don't feel safe driving that car ever again. I took my car to the Nissan dealer on 1/28/23 and they were able to reproduce the problem. I was told it almost left their technicion stranded on the freeway. As of 2/1/23 I still do not have my car and I don't know exactly what the problem is. Prior to this...

I bought the Nissan Kicks in April 2019, with a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty. At 34,710 miles the ABS system comes on. I took the car to the technician authorized by the manufacturer. He detects a code, C1110-04, and recommends that I replace the ABS controller and actuator. That's over a $4,000 repair for a car that only has 34,710 miles on it. I think the problem is a safety issue since the ABS works with the car's brakes. The technician told me that if it is not fixed, the brake system may not be working properly. Since I bought the car, there has been no sign of the problem. The first time I saw the problem was on Sept 29, 2022.

The Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and Radar System is faulty which makes the vehicle suddenly brakes on it's own. My daughter reported that the alert light began coming on about a week ago. Then the yesterday (9/26/2021) the vehicle suddenly braked on its own while she was driving. She added that there was no vehicle or object in front of the vehicle at the time of the self-braking. This is a serious safety concern. After research into this matter, I have learned that both Nissan and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are aware of the situation but have yet to issue a recall for the faulty AEB in a number of their models. On March 14, 2022, my daughter was stationary at a stop light (Warner & Jewel Street). Once the light turned green, she released the brakes and started to accelerate. However, the warning lights came on and...

FRONT IMPACT WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND AFFECTS THE CRUISE CONTROL AND TRIES TO STOP WITHOUT ANYTHING IN FRONT OF CAR. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 4200 MILES AND HAS BEEN IN SHOP 5 FIVES FOR THE SAME THING AND ALL NISSAN DEALERSHIP DOES IS CLEAR CODE, ADJUST SENSORS AND/OR CALIBRATE SENSORS BUT NEVER CHANGES OUT SENSORS. THERE IS ALREADY SEVERAL CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS WITH NISSAN ON FRONT SENSOR AND THIS MALFUNCTION. THIS IS CLEARLY A HAZARD DRIVING THE CAR AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO DRIVE SINCE THIS CAR CAN TRY TO STOP WHEN NOTHING IS IN FRONT OF CAR.
