The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Kicks. The contact stated after driving approximately 5 MPH going uphill to a driveway, she then put the gear into reverse and then into the drive to move forward slowly; however, the vehicle inadvertently accelerated. The contact then attempted to depress the brake pedal; however, the vehicle crashed into the house. The contact stated the rear camera was not operable, in addition to the brakes. The contact stated there was a backup camera recall prior to the accident. There was a front seat passenger in the vehicle as well. The vehicle hit a concrete beam on the house. The garage and house were damaged. The contact was unaware of any warning lights illuminated. There were no air bags deployed. The contact sustained injuries to her knees, elbows, and head. The passenger had minor injuries, but no bleeding. Medical attention was required. No police or fire was not on the scene, and there were no reports filed. The front passenger end of the vehicle was damaged. The vehicle was towed to the local body shop. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1,000.

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.

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 the vehicle immediately braked on it's own. The vehicle behind her (Jeep Wangler) did not stop in time and struck her Nissan Kicks causing heavy damage to the rear. Like the other incidents, there were no vehicle or obstacles in front of her to warrant the vehicle to immediately brake. The issue is a serious problem. We have read other reviews with other people having this problem with their Nissan vehicles. I have absolutely no faith in this vehicle and will no longer allow my daughter to operate it. My hope is that Nissan will be forced to research and address the issue. As consumers we deserve safety and to be compensated for this incident.

DRIVING LIKE NORMAL AND THE CAR AHEAD OF ME SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID A WRECK I SLAMMED ON MINE TO PREVENT THIS AFTERWARD TRAFFIC STARTED MOVING ON AND THE COLLISION AND IMPACT SENSOR CAME ON BUT I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING. I HAVE LOOKED AT THE MANUAL AND IT WILL NOT TELL THE OWNER ME HOW TO GET THE CRASH LIGHT TO GO OFF. EVEN ONLINE YOU CAN FIND NOTHING ABOUT HOW TO RESET OR TURN OFF THE ALERT. THE OTHER ALERT IS FOR THE ASSISTED BRAKING FEATURE IT DIDN'T WORK BUT THE LIGHT CAME ON BUT WILL NOT GO OFF AND THERE ARE NO INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO RESET IT OR TAKE IT OFF. NOT EVEN THE FACTORY RESET OR UNPLUGGING THE BATTERY WILL MAKE IT GO OFF. I BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE KICKS FROM SAID THEY WOULD FIX THE ERROR BUT THEY WILL CHARGE ME TO DO SO WHICH I THINK IS WRONG SINCE IT IS NOT WRECKED BUT JUST MALFUNCTIONING. IF I KNEW TO GET SOMETHING ON THE KICKS WAS GOING TO BE LIKE PULLING TEETH II WOULD HAVE STUCK WITH THE ALTIMA AS I DID WITH MY LAST PREVIOUS PURCHASES WITH NISSAN. NOT HAPPY AND IT'S JUST LIKE WITH THE TOUCH SCREEN IT FREEZES UP AND THE USB TO IT WILL QUIT WORKING TO THE POINT YOU HAVE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE JUST SO IT WILL WORK AGAIN EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE AND I WAS THINKING MY CORDS WEREN'T OPERATING RIGHT OR WORN OUT.
