What owners wrote
At random times when the car is started the engine starts but none of the instruments in the dashboard (digital gauge, sensors, etc...) including the stereo would turn on. In addition power steering is not functional. It takes several tries of restarting the car in order to get all the gauges, sensors, stereo and power steering to function. This issur can happen when the car is completely off and it is turned on. I even took a video showing the issue.
Automatic emergency braking (aeb) system warning light (if so equipped) I purchased my 2018 nissan kicks in feb of 2019, and have been experiencing issues with the warning light that looks like two cars colliding randomly appearing along with a message "unavailable front radar obstruction." these warning lights can come on at any given time during the time in which the vehicle is driven, and began shortly after purchase of the vehicle. Weather conditions, etc have no effect on this issue.
