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.

My Nissan Kicks 2019 have a few problems. First it turn on the sensor of check engine. Also the traction control sensor is on. But the worst of all is that the the front proximity sensor is giving up false alarms and is stopping the car while driving. This is driving me crazy because the car does it on unexpected places. Is this happening only to my car? I am going to take my car for service but it make me feel afraid that it could happen again.

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!
