Description of the problem | I purchased a 2020 nissan kicks with 11 miles on 1/1/20. The car began shaking and stalling when stopped in traffic, and at lights on 1/10/20, with 250 miles on the odometer. After 3 service appointments, taking pictures and using the event recorder as instructed, i was informed on 3/5/20, there is currently no fix for this kicks, engineers are aware of the problem, and they will contact me when an update is available that may resolve the problem. ,this vehicle has stalled out 19 times as of 3/9/20, with 2039 miles on the odometer. The nissan dealership where i purchased and serviced the vehicle could not repair and would not replace the vehicle, after 3 visits totaling 9 days in the shop within the first 60 days of purchase, i have been directed to follow up with nissan consumer affairs with my concerns. Nissan will be sending an engineer to further inspect the vehicle within the next 2 weeks. Concern: the vehicle shakes/shudders and/or shuts down while driving in stop and go traffic, stopping at traffic lights and signs, and also when stopping to park. During these events the vehicle is in drive, with brake pedal depressed. No warning lights appear on the dash display except the battery and oil light after the engine has stalled. Each event has been resolved by placing vehicle in drive and restarting the engine. The events are inconsistent/unpredictable, having occurred twice in the same mile, or up to 358 miles between events; also having occurred 0-4 times every 0-10 days. |
