It should be called a Nissan Quirks

I bought a 2018 Nissan Kicks used, but with only 4350 miles on it. At first, it was great. Then, the quirks started happening: 1. Twice my anti-lock brakes engaged for no reason. Thankfully, I was driving slowly when it happened. 2. Once the back window rolled down mysteriously when I started the car and wouldn't go back up. I had to try various things and what finally got it to roll back down was engaging then disengaging the child window lock. (It was not originally engaged, so that's not why the window wouldn't go back up. 3. Once it wouldn't start for about 5 minutes, despite multiple attempts. After these oddities, I took the car into the dealership to have them look at it and they said they couldn't do anything unless it was exhibiting the odd behavior at the time I brought it in. So, I was stuck until a problem persisted. After that, even more intermittent quirks occurred: 4. The radio display blacked out even though the radio was on and I couldn't turn the radio off, nor would the display return despite trying to stop and start the car several times. It wasn't until I had let the car sit for awhile, then restart it, when the display returned. 5. When it rains, the front collision light turns on intermittently as though there's a car in front of me and it's warning me to slow down. This has happened multiple times. All of the quirks added up and I no longer had confidence in the car. I finally gave up and traded it in for something else after having only put 2000 miles on it. What a waste of money.

I bought my kicks about 6 months ago I enjoyed it for the first few months but now I don’t like it trying to get out of it has been a hassle evasive it’s not holding it value it’s not a bad car just for someone who likes to drive a lot is not a good choice with the small 10 gallon gas tank I find my self filling up 2 times a week also the cvt delays a little when trying to take off quickly overall I’m not happy with it and I’m going back to Honda

For the money, this car has a lot going for it. Apple car play, large cargo area, blind spot detection and the gas mileage is fantastic. The acceleration is a bit slow, but other than that it is a wonderful compact SUV.
