My Car ocassionally comes with Code P0101 and P0102 when the check Engine light comes on. And when it does come on, The Traction Light and Head Collision warning lights show as well. These affect how the car drives and I have to stop and shut of the engine for a couple of minutes and then restart the engine. Changing the Mass Air flor sensor does not seem to have helped anything and it seems based on internet searches that several people who own similar cars are having the same issue
The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Kicks. The contact stated that while driving at slow speeds, the check engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle stalled. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle immediately hesitated while accelerating. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the Mass Air Flow Sensor was faulty and needed to be replaced. The sensor was replaced, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was later taken to the local Nissan dealer but was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 67,736.
I keep getting the p0101 code for the MAF sensor and I’ve replaced it 2 times with OEM ones and I still get that code later on. I’ve cleaned the throttle body and replaced the air filter with an OEM one and that light with also the “wet road” and “forward collision” light keep popping up. Stalling has also occurred multiple times while in park or at a stop light and rough idle when ever not in movement.
Vehicle dies during operation becase of mas airflow sensor. Replaced sensor now it needs nossan diagnostic tool to relearn and I'm being required to pay a minimum of 300 for this service on top of the 250 I paid for the part. This car is shutting off in the middle of intersections.
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.
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
WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY/SLOWING TO STOP AT A LIGHT, MY FRONT COLLISION LIGHT CAME ON AND NO ONE WAS AHEAD OF ME. WHILE STILL IN MOTION MY VEHICLES ENGINE SHUT OFF AND I HAD TO PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BREAK AT THE LIGHT AND SHIFTED THE CAR FROM DRIVE TO PARK. KEEPING MY FOOT ON THE BREAK STARTED THE ENGINE WITH THE PUSH BUTTON WHICH HAD TROUBLE TURNING OVER AND THE DASH LIT UP THE FOLLOWING LIGHTS: MASTER INDICATOR, SLIP WARNING AND AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BREAKING SYSTEM WARNING. ON THE DIGITAL DISPLAY IT READ SOMETHING TO DO WITH EMISSIONS BUT WENT AWAY BEFORE I COULD TAKE THE PHOTO. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I GAVE GAS TO THE VEHICLE AND IT STRUGGLED TO GAIN SPEED OVER 5 MPH FOR OVER 1000 FEET THEN WENT BACK TO NORMAL SPEEDS AND THE OTHER LIGHTS WENT OFF AND ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THE NEXT DAY AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF AGAIN BUT NO DISPLAY THIS TIME, JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF.I'VE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE CENTER DISPLAY AND CONTROLS SINCE I PURCHASED A VEHICLE JUST OVER A YEAR AGO. THE RADIO TURNS ON AND OFF ON ITS OWN TURN THE VOLUME UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN WHICH I CAN SOMETIMES CONTROL FROM THE STEERING WHEEL BUT NEVER FROM THE CENTER. EVEN WHEN USING STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS THE RADIO WILL DO ITS OWN THING. SO I COULD BE DRIVING WITH THE RADIO OFF AND IT WILL BE ON FULL BLAST I TURN IT DOWN WITH THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT WILL GO BACK TO FULL BLAST. THE VERY NEXT DAY AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT LISTED I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. AS I LEFT THE RADIO PROVED TO BE NOT FIXED. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO TO FIX IT & WAS TOLD A WEEK FOR THE PART TO COME. I CONTACTED CORPORATE AFTER INVESTIGATION, THEY WOULD NOT BUY BACK MY CAR WHICH IS JUST OVER A YEAR OLD WITH 15,500 MILES. NO RECEIPT GIVEN AFTER REPLACING CENTER CONSOL.
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. *TR
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!
