2024 Nissan Kicks problems

“My 2024 Nissan Kicks, with approximately 50,000 miles, experienced a spontaneous rear windshield failure on October 13, 2026, while parked in my residential driveway. The vehicle had been parked in the garage overnight. An electrician arriving at the property noticed the rear windshield actively cracking and alerted my son. My son went outside and could hear the glass continuing to crackle and fracture while the vehicle remained stationary. Nearly the entire rear windshield shattered into small fragments, with much of the glass remaining in place. The rubber seal surrounding the glass also became detached. There was no known collision or impact. Photographs and witnesses are available. I am concerned about a possible manufacturing or installation defect and the serious safety implications if this failure had occurred while driving. I request that NHTSA investigate this potential safety defect.”

“on 10/22/2026 at approximately 4:40pm the vehicle started beeping and came to an abrupt stop, there was nothing in front of vehicle to solicit this response. The vehicle suffered a critical safety failure involving un-commanded phantom braking that nearly caused a severe rear-end collision. This caused the other vehicle that almost hit me to become enraged, insult and cuss me out and chase me down up the road. This was not operator error, and had an accident occured, it would have looked like the operator was at fault for coming to an abrupt stop.”

“The main infotainment display screen in my 2024 Nissan Kicks failed prematurely and blacked out completely, rendering the backup camera and rear cross-traffic safety systems entirely inoperable. This failure poses an immediate safety hazard to myself and pedestrians, as I am forced to drive and back up daily with zero rear visibility, completely losing essential safety features regulated by federal standards. The defect has been officially inspected and confirmed by an authorized Nissan dealership service center on two separate occasions. The dealer attempted to process a warranty replacement but informed me that the necessary replacement part was backordered due to inventory delays. Despite complying with the diagnostic process, Nissan Consumer Affairs has severely delayed a resolution since January 2026. On May 21, 2026, a supervisor corporate representative (Nancy, ID 7319115) refused to cover 100% of the manufacturing defect, denied providing a resolution in writing, and explicitly prohibited me from recording the phone call to avoid leaving an official audio trail of their statements. I am filing this complaint because Nissan is failing to fix an active…”
