- Hi all, here is a brief overview of the problems I have experienced with my Nissan Qashqai since leasing new in 2016.
This is not a bash Qashqai post, we had a 2013 one beforehand and this was excellent and suited our family needs. This time round however we have experienced end to end issues and have been far from impressed.
Service from Sandicliffe Loughborough has been poor, with month(s) waiting times and a lack of loan cars. Nissan CEO office have been friendly but have added no real value in terms of compensation or a change in service. Wasted 8 days holiday, spent weeks idle on the drive and its been embarrassing to drive with the various rattling noises of loose piping and still have issues with stop start and the heating. This does not feel like a 24k car.
In the video I list the following problems:-
1) Flywheel Trouble
2) Loose Pipe Fitting
3) Rear Camera Not Working
4) Stop Start Not Working
5) New Tire after 12,000 miles
6) Oil leaks
7) Recall for brake line concerns
8) Dipstick broken
Mine is 3 years old -2015- 38,000 miles and never had an issue. Great car, will buy another one when its due.
wait for it....the problems will come soon. Nissan is a piece of crap and I regret the day I bought it.
Hey Robert, I hope you are well. Glad all is good with the car. Like I mentioned my first one was fine too. I assume excluding the standard stuff, the car has been fine since your post?
We've got the same model, a 1.2 Tekna, for more than 2 years now. Never had any issues apart from regular maintenance. Hopefully you have had your share and it'll runs as it should! Good luck!
what are the last six digits of your VIN? all engines were affected until 572966
Thanks Nolzetecs, appreciate your kind words. Glad yours is running well and you've had no issue. Happy New year
Good shout Tariqslo, that is really handy.
Thank you for your informative video. I would like to add a note about my own experience with a 2014 model Qashqai. On 22 June, I was ready to leave to go on holiday at 5:00 am except that my car refused to start; very annoying. Although I could use my electronic key to enter the car, nothing would happen when I pushed the start/stop button except that the dashboard would light up with all sorts of warnings and error messages. It took 22 days for the Nissan garage to try to identify the fault. They concluded that we needed to change the engine control unit. This took another week and cost 1,297 euros. But this morning, one week after that change, the same problem again. The Nissan garage says that it will take two weeks before they can take a second look at my car. During all that time the garage did not have a courtesy car available for me and I had to pay myself for car rental. I was satisfied with my Qashqai, but I think that my Nissan garage (the main one in Lisbonne) is badly lacking in competence and care.
If anyone experienced the same sort of problem, I would be happy to receive advice. My guess is that it may be a faulty sensor somewhere.
Thanks for the great and detailed comment, really appreciated. I didn't have a problem like this. But did you manage to get everything sorted? How are things looking now?
Hi Henry. This is a very late comment, but I feel it may be of use to more recent owners. I have had a 2017 Qashqai 1.2 for 18 months now. It has only done 17K miles admittedly, but I have had no issues whatsoever. I guess you were unlucky.
My Qashqai is still working after 4 years, some weird rattling noise from the doors come up sometimes, but barely noticible and im happy with the car so far. Way cheaper then any other SUV and i better pay abit for repairs instead, if they come up.

@@Tariqslo Bought mine in Sweden 2015 model, first year was fine, then couple of winters had problems with starting the car... :( Now it works again fine after 5-6 years of having it. Not gonna buy Qashqai again. So far still going, but engine quality is Renault. It says Renault on the engine, it explaines everything...
Thanks for the comment Tva. I hope your Qashqai's still running strong 💪 Did you ever get the noise sorted?
@@HenryGeorge2018 Hi! It does actually. Had it now for 6,5 years. Only 2 problems i had so far is rattling from inside doors (it dissapeared by now by itself) and the other issue i had is problems with engine. Sometimes during colder winters the engine would not start. It sounded like its common problem for this car. It worked last couple of years, but im still afraid that one day during winter time it wont start. Good news is we have warm winters here in south sweden. Around +5 to -10 celcius. Happy with the car otherwise, good bang for the buck. Paid it off in like 3 years so im driving happy now.
Thanks for sharing the video. It definitely influenced my decision making. Empathise with you over the car issues.
Thanks TF, hope you are enjoying your new car.
the recall is just a bracket we do to keep the brake line away from rotating assembly , ) its for your own safety as well as others . The stop start system comes up with EVERY single fault you get on the car , so it's not the system itself, it's the way it works. When consult shows only stop start, you run a battery test. They run on 720 amps battery and most of the time the stop start itself kills the battery and usually you will find it sitting at merely 300 amps which isn't even half, so replacing the battery and clearing the faults will fix it . Other times it's the stop start relay which doesn't work properly as i said due to low battery amperage . The oil leak is most of the time coming from the timing chain cover . A simple removal and clean and re seal would fix it . Just a heads up .Worked on these cars for over 9 years now at our local Nissan dealership as a mechanic/technician .
@maltaftw is there a better batteries available to avoid the issues happening again in the future?
@@BillyBufter sadly up till now , none. Just turn off stop start and you"ll be fine .its annoying anyways
Great post giving clear reasons. It does however suggest quality issues as recalls like that shouldn't happen as I bet not every one turns up for them. Happy New year and all the best
nice and honest review. I was thinking switching my kuga for nissan after 4 years, so I started searching videos like this one. I am not a heavy driver, 10000km per year at max, and in 4 years and didn't have a single issue with kuga. replaced the front left bulb last month and that's pretty much it. japanese cars especially mazdas seem to be unreliable. mazda vehiecles usually have issues with oil, paint, plastic elements (all kinds of plastic covers start to rattle and fall off) and electronics of course . I thought ford was the worst, but I was wrong. kuga is like a tenk when i compare it to mazda. after 4 years I still use original windshield wipers and there's no sign of tear whatsoever. after seeing this, I feel japanese cars are not what they used to be before.
Thanks for your kind comment. We had a Mazda for a while and that had paint and oil issues. Like you say, the quality was behind Nissan. BMW have been our most reliable to date, but I read people have loads of issues with them. Potentially it is all the luck of the draw. Are you still running your Kuga now?
They are if u buy a proper Japanese car, Toyota! Honda has gone shit since the brits made them for the European market.
Toyota petrol, VW tdi, PSA (Peugeot/Citroen) hdi engines are the most reliable overall no doubt. Renault diesel engines are way better than their petrol engines.
I am afraid that the Nissan brand and its build quality were the first things out of the window as soon as Renault had anything to do with it. Its a shame that people buying vehicles by name these days has nothing to do with that original name. Renault have destroyed the Nissan brand and disguised their terrible French vehicles as something else, thus duping people into buying their awful product.
I totally agree!
If me or you done that eh,ford bought volvo some years ago,None of the volvo customers even knew,I have a 19 plate qashqai and every night the alarm goes off for no reason,If i would have known that Renault had anything atall to do with this build qashqai i would have given it an ultra WIDE berth,I wonder how long before i have to start opening windows in sequence like my old laguna,Totally crazy that they can sell something called a NISSAN QASHQAI that is really a Renault without telling us,Is this because we wouldn't touch it knowing it is a Renault, Well i would not have gone near it,Its just legal fraud,I wanted Nissan,Was shown this Nissan qashqai,Now the dotted line has been signed its like,Enjoy your Renault,Totally bad and should be complete transparency as to what youre getting,Bang out of order as Renault are crap,Thats not slander its what i have personally experienced and so have half the country,But at least i knew i was buying a Renault so my fault on laguna,This one however,Qashqai or Clio,I dont know but put a nissan badge on a Nissan and a Renault badge on a Renault,Completely duped 😫
nissan uk were dirt long before renault
Thanks for your comment Gunther, I hope all Is good with you. Totally agree many brands are now just a name without their old values. It's a shame as it means cars are so generic looking and driven by cost.
Why would nissan go to renault they was a good solid brand in the 90s.
i had 2015 n-tec plus 1.5 dci from new, now done 62000 miles been a superb car, very good on fuel easy 50mpg if your careful, free tax, cheap to insure, good size and a lot included as standard.
only issues ive had/got are that the gas struts for the boot have gone slow and yes, it does eat front tyres ive had to change them often
Good summary Simon, glad you are enjoying the car. It has to be said that the tech is very strong for the price. The 360 camera is great.
I have a 2016 cvt version so 6 years now and no issues.
I had (have) issues 3, 4 and 8 in 2016 Qashqai (UK). Also the air intake part for the motor was rattling, similar to the noise in issue Nr 2. Solved by me with insulation tape. At some point the control panel (music, SatNav, etc) started to reboot randomly. This was fixed by Nissan as the guarantee was still valid. The stop-start (I refer here to the automatic one) doesn't work when the car is cold. after some 20 minutes of driving, I switch off the car manually and then it will work after restarting it. Still, I am happy with it, everything works well, nothing in the interior peels off or decolorates/cracks by sunlight, good connectivity with my phone. I use it a lot (1500 miles monthly) with heavy loads often. After 100K miles, it has never let me down on the road. Mine is a Tekna 1.5. No car is perfect, I had American cars with much worse problems (computers disconnecting while driving, temperature warning not working, etc).
Thanks for this vid, I'm about to update my car again and was looking at one of these 2016 in tekna trim which was going to set me back 16k. This is definitely crossed off the list now. Cheers.
Hi Golf Fox, Can't blame you for looking, design wise they look nice. If you were pitching up that kind of cash get an extended warranty to rule out any teething problems in your first few months. All cars have issues, but going back I would have put my money elsewhere.
Mini Man I never keep a car very long, around 2 years. And I always pay straight cash and expect to have no trouble from any car if I pay 12/16k for it. I really feel for folk that pay a lot of money for a car and have problems with it. It's just not on.
Right now I have a Hyundai i40 premium and it has not gave me a bit of bother over the 18 months that I have had it. I just need a hatchback boot. My next two choices after the Nissan were a Citroen c4 Picasso exclusive plus as my kids absolutely love it when we went to look at one last week, while I like the extra toys I get.
And a Suzuki SX4 S-cross Sz5 allgrip which would be my choice, although I have not been to see one yet I just like the look of the new shape ones I have seen. I'm limited to what I can choose from as my kids do not want to give up the panoramic roof like we have on the Hyundai.
I've done 130,000 miles in my 1.6 tekna plus dci 65 plate I have had no issues what so ever with the car I service it regularly, I do 25,000 miles a year and still get anything from 50 > 60 miles per gallon. I will be seriously looking at the new e power in a years time .
Nice to see the British assembly quality hasnt changed.
Haha, I think this is quality of parts more than assembly in our case.
@@HenryGeorge2018 It is poor quality parts .
I am in the US and cannot send a photo but I shall try to give more details.
There is a long chute for the incoming air which is attached on one side to the front frame and further in the direction of the air filter, to the side panel of the engine compartment. 2 small 8 mm bolts are holding this chute. They are designed by Nissan engineers to give a small free movement because the air filter is vibrating with the engine but not the car body. The holes in the chutes are larger than the bolts. No matter how much you tight them there is a movement of about 3 mm.. My idea was not to stop rhis free movement, which is necessary, but to limit it. I opened the 2 bolts anf put around them, above the thread, Small 'O" rings (not discks,). This increased the diameter of the bolts by maybe 1 mm and thus reduced the free movement of the chute by 2 mm. It was enough to stop the air filter from touching the firewall and the irritating noise stopped.
The whole construction of the air filter could be improved but as you know, the space in the engine compartment is limited.
In order to reduce the diesel engine noise you can add a cover 1" above the engine but from a fire resisting material and thicker insulating to the bonnet. Do not worry about the engine getting hot. It will not. The engine in any case must have a clearance of 1-2 inches free so air will continue to flow freely around the engine.
Awesome post with great detail. I hope all is good with you and happy new year
Had mine 6 weeks from new.
So far,stop/start problems, blind spot warning problems, emergency brake problems, incorrect key code problems (car wont lock) flickering headlights and fan motor speed go's up and down.
Apart from that its been perfect..............
"flickering headlights and fan motor speed go's up and down." Go to official service point and they will give you new one ECU. This helped in my case.
Quadrotes I took it back to Nissan. They sorted it within 10 minutes. Earth lead from battery was loosely attached to bodywork. As the lead was arcing on and off the bodywork so the faults were coming on and off. After tightening the lead all ok now.........fingers crossed.
Wow, you have had a rough time there. Are the issues all fixed now?
Mine is 5 months on 1.5 Diesel 2015. Stop/start issue suddenly developed with warning of System Fault. Just read that this has something to do with a defective cell in the battery - so not enough current to operate the stop/start... (another way of telling me to buy a replacement battery) - after just after 5 months on 46k (second hand)
But I do think every car has its own peculiar problems.
Unfortunately I have the same problem....
I'd love to find any solution for this😔😔
We never solved ours and they blamed it on our driving style by saying we drove with our foot on the clutch 🙄 Did you solve your issue?
Hey Jodacy, did you ever solve your issue? The battery replacement didn't work for us 😞
Thankyou for the video I have the similar issue with the rear camera took it Nissan Ancaster dealer can't find the fault when they diagnostic every single camera was working in order I'm just wondering how you fixed the problem so I can tell them to look into it.
Thanks. I think you’ve succeeded in putting me right off buying a used Qashqai!
Not here to put people off, but just highlight our issues and build quality. In fairness to our Nissan Leaf, it has not skipped a beat in 2 years.
My partner and I have paid £3,000 in parts as our qashqai keeps breaking every 2 weeks, new rear outer brake lights, lower arms, bushes, thermostat housing, switch,glow plugs, discs, pads,
Left mirror indicator light,new exhaust,front drivers side tyre valve,new battery, seal inside of left rear door, the right rear drivers side door was stuck locked when it was bought so had to have that fixed, right drivers side rear abs sensor,new clutch and fly wheel,new air con pressure sensor, new auxillary drive belt,tie rod ends,we had to replace missing clips for the front bumper under the bonnet, we had to replace under tray clips and screws and bolts, exhaust gaskets and bolts, cover above the exhaust also, track rod ends, links, new rear windscreen wiper,new ball joints,top links, services, we have had dents fixed that were on it when we bought it, we have had no help at all from the sales place and i have contacted them 6 times and had no response
Now we have to replace the air con compressor and the front shock absorbers it's just money money money on the qashqai 2014 1.5 diesel
Have a 2015 identical to yours and have stopped returning to the dealership as they do nothing but waste my time; a technician privately admitted that 'Nissan would never have allowed the car to be released knowing it had such faults, since Renault got involved we're overrun'. The handbrake jammed on and they said I'd have to wait two weeks for an appointment before I could bring it to them! Had to get another garage to fix it and that was the last straw. I only have to put up with the rattles for a few more months!
Hi John, I hope you are well. Sounds like you have not had a great time with your one at all. The dealerships play a huge part here, and sadly there are a few which are not helping Nissan. Like you, it is getting to the point where it is a waste of time off and effort, as everything is your fault (According to them we are both driving with the foot pressed down on the clutch, hence our stop/start errors) or no fault found when it sounds like a diesel train. Did you ever contact Nissan directly? Be interesting to know what they did (If anything) Bet you can't wait to hand it back :)
Sorry to hear about your experience, that is one long list. I found the dealerships the biggest problem. Poor service, weeks of waiting, accuse you of lying or talk to you like dirt. All we want is a working car and frankly we would prefer to be doing something with our time :) Hope you get your problems sorted.
I also have the stop-start problem. According to the dealership it's my fault because I don't drive enough kilometers (10K / year) so the battery isn't charged enough.
Hi @TheRocco96 Interesting to see they have a variety of reasons for a silly stop start issue. Surely it is just a sensor and some software changes. Infact instead of the error they show now, they could easily update the software to say 'Please remove foot from clutch or allow warm up time etc' Basically the function doesn't work, and as a result their MPG being quoting is going to be wrong as most people are accepting the fault and turning of the functionality.
Thanks for the video, I have had enough of my Qashqai, Air intake broke, causing the the car to be towed to the garage!!
So sorry to hear that taxalterror. Did you replace the Qashqai in the end?
Did you ever get to the bottom of the stop start issue or oil leaks ? Having the exact same thing with my 2016 model atm .
I have the same sort of problems with the stop/start. 2 possible causes/solutions. 1) Battery level. I think I'm right in saying that if battery power drops below 80%, the system won't work. I have found that to be the case, especially after driving off on a cold day, with having the blowers on for heating/demisting. After driving for a while, and (presumably) the battery gets more charge in it, the system will work!
2) Clutch hovering. I have a very bad tendency to leave my foot hovering/resting on the clutch. The Stop/Start system fault message has come up on my JII several times....each time it is when I have had my foot resting on the clutch pedal. As the system obviously relies on you pressing the clutch to restart, I'm wondering if by doing this, I'm activating the system somehow and it's either draining power out or tripping the system some way!
I'm not a mechanic and have no real knowledge of this, just sharing my thoughts!
Some really goods points here. For us, we have not had these issues in any other cars, so there could be a sensitivity setup issue that needs adjustments maybe?
@@HenryGeorge2018 the stop start issue is caused by a blocked egr line 110% you Can sort this yourself in about 2 hours
Sadly I too own a 2017 1.5 diesel and bought it new.
It’s just done 50,000 miles of steady driving but it’s starting to feel like an old car. The clutch is juddering slightly upon take up of drive,suspect it’s the dual mass flywheel, the brakes judder, warped discs, a variety of dash warning lights come on and off randomly when driving, it broke down and required a replacement battery, the heater never warms up despite the engine temperature being normal, in general it’s a very poor example of what I expected from Nissan and the dealer back up was equally bad. I shall never buy another.
Hey there, I hope you are well. That juddering was how ours started sadly. Have you managed to get sorted?
I agree with what was said about quality issues with Nissan today. Yes the problem is the partnership with Renault. I have had Renaults and many problems arose with ownership of them.
The mk2 Qashqai had no problems or issues because I believe ownership was with Nissan, since the link up quality of parts and workmanship has gone down..
With issue 2 I had that loud noise as well and had the coolant thermostat housing and coolant switch and new glow plugs put in now the car is very quiet
Hello . What Qashqai did you have before this one ? You said you didn't have problems with that one.
Hey there, hope you're well. I had the previous gen 2013 one. Worked like a charm, but I much preferred the looks on this one which is why we got it.
Thanks for your honest review of your Qashquai's reliability. I was not aware these cars share underpinnings from Renault and I will be focussing my attention to buying either a Honda or Hyundai SUV
Hyundai isn't better trust me
No problem at all happy to help.
Have a 2018 model quashqui. Heater blower motor runs high speed constantly cannot switch off. Dealer says resistor controller faulty. Dealer cannot get new part from nissan no explanation why. I have complained to nissan direct. Awaiting reply from same. I have been told will be contact by complaint manager next 48 hrs. We shall see.
Hi there. Is the Qashqai clutch heavy? I've test drive a 2016 model yesterday and OMG its very heavy - my car at the moment is a 17yrs old Peugeot 307 and its still lighter compare to the QQ. I've also sat in over 7+ Qashqai (2016 and 2017) today and press on the clutch, they're all quite heavy too.
From memory the clutch was stiff but felt a bit flimsy too. (Like they had used a cheap metal) They do tend to wear down on the Nissan quite quickly, so it could be that? What did you go for in the end? The 307's are such a classic 👍
Thanks for sharing .i have 162 G model since OCT 2020 no issues just had major service all okay car still under warnty today i called has stop/start appeared on my dash booked in for 2 weeks time to have dianogstic from nissan bit slow time frame but they are informed.
I found your video intresting.
Teresa. Galway. Ireland
Thanks for the kind Teresa, I hope all is good with you. Fingers crossed you got the stop/start sorted. In fairness to Nissan they were always fairly quick to book in and you always got a loan car.
I have an issue with my front wheels losing tyre pressure, its got to the point where i have to pimp it up daily. there is no puncture and i hear it may be an issue with the rim???
I’ve had my 2022 Qashqai since Sept 2022 and nothing but issues.
I’m just counting down till Aug 2025 to give it back. Nissan are a waste of space, very poor after sales service. I wish I had seen this video before forking out nearly £300 a month. Looks lovely, comfortable drive, but it’s not normal to have so many things wrong.
Finally, 2020
Nissan is back!
😂
My family has 2019 model 1.3 Petrol, at 30.000km, they had a weird sound in the engine and they took it to the service. They said the engine needs to be rebuild.
So sorry to hear that. Have Nissan covered the cost?
@@HenryGeorge2018 Yes, they did cover everything. But now he have a rebuild engine.
@@tolu87 At least they covered it and didn't fob off as their driving style. However, like you say a rebuild can cause resale issues etc. Feel for your family
Hi ,
I am looking to buy Nissan qashqai 2018 or 2019 ST j2 series. What are your views on it. I drive a lot occasionally rideshare. Do you recommend Nissan qashqai. Please help me out with a good advice.
Thanks
I hope you are well. Sorry I didn't get back in time, but what did you end up with?
Omg just got a qashqai and o ak having the fan issue coming on, chasing control fault and stop start fault. Did you ever get yours repaired. Surely this has to be a recall
Hi We Care We Care. I hope you are well. Sorry to hear you are having issues. We got most of our issues fixed under warranty, but not heard anything on a recall for it. I suspect the dealers will now be making some extra cash on our behalf 🙄 Can you send yours back if you have just brought?
@@HenryGeorge2018 Yes it is still under warranty and taking it back Friday for them to diagnose the issue. Do you know what was wrong with it? I don't want to end up spending lots on repairs if the car is going to keep having faults
@@wecarewecare3802 For us the fan coming on randomly was never fixed, they wanted us to prove it, which we couldn't as it never happened whilst there. After replacing the battery a few times, the stop start they blamed for over a year on driving style, turned out the clutch pedal was at fault. We only leased ours, so can't back up how it is after 3 years. I can understand your nerves around it being a problem long term, so use it as much as you can now to see if there are problems. Outside this video, the alloys flaked on ours too, which made it look like it had hit the kerb alot, so keep an eye on that. They accepted this as a fault and replaced (common problem I am told). Good luck on Friday, tell us how it goes 👍
This is the important stuff you cant get from the motoring press. Seriously looking at a low mileage 2017 N-Connecta but this and comments have put me off. Oh well, back to the drawing board. Equivalent Kia Sportage is a lot more expensive but maybe the better option.
Hey @knightlore I hope all is good with you. Thanks for the comments, appreciated. What did you go for in the end?
I bought a nearly-new 2016 Qashqai. After 9 months the satnav/phone developed faults and would shut down mid-drive, then reboot itself. This would happen regularly and Nissan said “it’s a known problem but we don’t have a fix yet”.
A few months later I was asked to bring the car in for the satnav fix. When I went to collect it they said “Your car needs a new engine”. Thinking they had confused me with another customer I explained that the car was in for a satnav problem. Answer? “Yes, we know, but it needs a new engine too!”
In short, new engine fitted under warranty (less than 2 yrs old) and we sold the thing right away!
Wow, I can't imagine how you felt when they said you needed a new engine. Lucky you were still under warranty, as that would have been a killer otherwise. What did you replace it with?
@@HenryGeorge2018 A 2018 Honda HR-V EX. The CVT transmission takes a bit of getting used to and a kick-down produces lots of noise but negligible acceleration, but it has plenty of positives so overall a good, small SUV.
@@charlesmonsell5394 I like the look of those Honda's, so good choice. Decent reliability records too.
We had an issue where the car burned oil (1.2 dig-t). We couldn't get from one maintenance to the other without refilling the oil. So, there was an investigation started and Nissan themselves said the oil consumption was 'normal'. Come on, it's a brand-new car and it shouldn't burn oil. After 2 years of refilling Nissan allowed our dealer to replace the entire engine after they found scratches on the cylinder wall. So, don't buy the 1.2 DIG-T

I had exactly the same experience, I bought a Nissan Qashqai 1.2 2016 and it has 41000km
Three months after I heard a strange noise in the engine, I went to Nissan and they told me that I don't know how to drive a car and that I have burned the oil 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
They make the fool of oil and I needed to make 3200km and then a new control of the oil level. Anyway they kept the car during two months and they didn't do anything. After that I had a problem with the cylinder and they kept it 7-8 months to change the engine. When I got it back I sold it and nowadays I have a mercedes classe B and I am very happy
what is that "scrue turning sound" that you sometimes heare after the engine shuts off,
if u are pulling the E-handbrake that's the sound i guess.
Good shout with that answer 👍
Thanks for the video. Was hesitating between a family SUV (Qashqai Tekna 2017) and an Executive Saloon style car (more precisely: Kia Optima 1.7 CRDi 4th generation 2017). I think I'll go with Kia as I'll still get what's left of the 7 year warranty (i.e. 5 years) - knowing that Kia have been ranking #1 in the last few years when it comes to the number of faults (i.e. they have very few problems).
Hey thanks for your comment. What did you go for on the end?
Hi. We have had sooo many faults with x trail.. eventually changed to quashqai. 14 months in and engine light red... New sensor.. car wouldn't start.. sensor.. car broke down again new battery.. air bag light issue unresolved... not happy
Hi Sharon, sorry to hear about your issues. Have they managed to fix for you now? The quality appears to be similar across them both sadly, so you may get the same range of issues :(
Bought a used 2015 N-TEC+ CVT last month. Drove it 3 times before sending back to Nissan. This model had loss of acceleration and power, engine judders between gears 4-6, unresponsive steering wheel and Bluetooth/DAB would cut out very few minutes. Oh an the infotainment system would restart by itself 😂
Considering all services where done with Nissan from new AND purchased used directly from them, I wouldn't expect a car with these issues to leave the forecourt 🙄🤦♂️🤦♂️
It's a shame that I won't ever touch a Nissan again as Qashqai's are nice to drive and have great seating positions
Sorry to hear about those issues. At least you managed to send it back. Like you say they are nice looking cars, full of tech. They just lack the care in quality.
I have a 1.5dci visia 2013. AC broked at 70k miles. Not even one mechanic in london know what part to change to fix the AC. So one of them changing radiator, next one change all pipes in ac system, finally last one change the second radiator located under dashboard. DPF chocked. I barely done regeneration cuz was 90% full and wont allow to run regeneration. I done it after i run the car in 3rd gear pedal down for 10-15min. Despite that, i love Qashqai. Probably i will p/x for a 2017-2018 model.
For 70k miles that is not bad at all.(Every car has issues eventually) Did you move across to the 17/18 version?

@@mrjuice24 Good shout, a nice looking car. How you finding it?
Hello, we are currently in the process of buying a 2016 Qashqui 1.6dci Tekna AWD with low mileage (26k) and same colour as yours. Have you sold the vehicle in your video?
Hi Carl, I hope you are well. We leased the vehicle and that ended in 2019. We have since had a Nissan Leaf and that has had zero issues. So sometimes it is the luck of the draw when getting them.
Has anyone had the chrome trim fall off? Nissan deny this happening on other of their vehicles. I've owned 2 now and both have had problems. Qashqai and Juke! Last one this time!!
Yes, and they can't deny it, because I've seen multiple Qashqai's with the chrome trim duct taped on!
Hi there, yes I have had this with ours. Have they fixed it for you?
I was seriously considering one but I may get a honda crv or rav 4 now.
Hi Gary, I hope you are well. I hear good things about the Honda CRV, but good luck with your next car. Hope you get a cracker 👍
They do seem to be a bit of a lottery. Had mine 5 months, and I'm about a grand in on repairs so far, and I still have a list of stuff that I'm not happy with. Brakes, tyres, suspension, steering angle sensor, battery, now it's running a rear wheel bearing and the handbrake has seized on one side. Bought as an everyday car that I can tow our caravan with; it's ok, but no better than ok. Wouldn't have another one; my previous Kia Ceed was better built, more efficient and waaay less trouble.
I think you have summed it up well there. It tends to be a lottery, but also down to how much margin Nissan are driving on the installed parts. I also like how you mention it is just ok, I got into that car and never went wow, it was like drinking water, it does the job but that's it. However in defence of Nissan I had no issues with the 2013 Qashqai or the Nissan Leaf we are running now. Have you sorted all your problems or have you traded it in?
@@HenryGeorge2018 thanks for your reply mate, I have carried on putting money into it, but decided just this weekend that I can't afford or justify spending any more on it. It's going asap and I'll get another Ceed. I've probably spent £3000 in the 14 months I've owned it. I could have bought a spare one! Take care, and thanks again for your reply.
@@Ro32da72 wow that is alot of cash and hassle. The best thing is at least the price of second hand cars have held or gone up since you brought, so hopefully you can get a little back. Hope you have better luck with the Kia. Happy New year and all the best 👍

Hi there, hope you well
I Had a Nissan Qasqai j11 2015 strange noice coming from my engine when I hit 60mph, and when i run 40mph seem like engine was fine, so I don't know what my causing it please need your advice thanks
Sorry to hear about your issues. In the past with our Renaults, it has been the wheel bearings or a lose connection/ part causing a noise at this kind of speed. Have you managed to get it sorted?
Very true
Disappointed with my first one which is gonna be last
So sorry to hear your having issues too Sara 😢
Hi there thanks for video, my sister has same 2016 qashqai she boughtit second hand from garage and after 3 months it start making noise, can you please tell is it common fault with this car and can i take it to dealer for repair
Thanks
Sorry to here your sister is having issues. It was common for this generation of Qashqai's. In my case they said it was a loose cable, so be careful what they charge as you maybe able to fix. Unsurprisingly we never fix the rattle/noise and it was returned when the lease ended. Have you sorted the issue now?
To those who asked me about the rattle noise of the air filter housing. (2016, J11, 1.6 Diesel engine.)
The problem is that the box is made of 2 parts that do not fit very well. In some cases while the engine is running at stand still, the air filter box touches the firewall creating this disturbing noise. My solution was to remove the 2 x 8mm bolts (ring 10mm) that are holding the air inlet duct and limit this movement by putting 7mm thin rubber "O" ring around the bolts. The duct remains free to move but the movement is limited so nothing breaks and the disturbing rattle is gone. I have done this last year and it is still working well for me.
However, Nissan engineers should re-design the case for the air filter. The access is not easy and the rubber seal around the filter sometimes folds.
Another issue is a strong mechanical knock when opening the oil inlet on top of the engine. I do not know if it comes from one of the regulating valves or the engine proper. I also found that the insulation of the hood is not good enough. I add a cover from a Kia engine and he noise was reduced. The cover is about 1" above the Renault engine. It is not completely closed so there is no effect on engine temperature and in summer we have very hot weather.
In general I am very satisfied with this car. No rust, good accelaration at all speeds, very low oil consumption (100% synthetic oil), good steering and breaking and very comfortable.
Great advice here, really appreciate the effort and the description 👍
Hi
My Qashqai displacing numerous faults: chassis control fault, start/stop fault, system fault all on the dash. Can drive more than 5mph no power, engine sound like struggling to stay alive. What on earth is going on?
Hope you got this sorted and its all working now.
Oh woow am shocked.. My Nissan quashqai 2014.. Diesel 1.6 only have one big problem which is the DPF blockage and only the dealer fixes this. And its a very expensive job.. I started to hate my car 🙄
I bought new Qashqais in 2014 and 2020. I kept each on for three years and had absolutely no problems. Maybe yours is a "Friday" car.
Bought a qashqai 2019 and today my front passenger seat belt light keeps going off, this happened the day after I had it shampoo inside.
Hey there, hope all is good with you. Clearly it is shorting somewhere as water has crept in. Either let dry it out or claim under warranty. In fairness Nissan where ok accepting repairs. Good luck 🤞
Another Nissan problem is no sound from audio (cd,radio ,sat nav etc)This is my second Nissan first was Juke 63 plate and now is Qashqai 65 plate.So no more Nissan again.For now is even worst (sat nav unit is switching off durring the drive and swithc on again after few second)Problem was reported to dealer wen car was on warranty but after few updated by dealer problem is back No they said i heve to pay 50% for new unit and for labourt so i dont know what i need to do.Thanks.

Very good footage and video , I was actually doing research about this mostly 1.2 engines have problems as from the web . I am going to look at a 2016 today literally wish me luck
Good luck, how did it go? Did you buy it in the end?
Had the car 2 years 9 months total engine failure. Engine needs replaced. Got the car on pcp now Arnold Clarke has told me I need to fork out for a new engine. Only done 30,000 miles had the car serviced every year also.
The stop start fault mine had the same issue! Bristol Street Motors Technicians was aware of the problem as it’s happened many times before.
You will just need you clutch adjusting. If you coast over the clutch even the siltiest in between changing gear this will happen as the sensor is high on the clutch to detect the auto start stop!
Hope this helps
This will definitely help me, mine it was the same I took it same place.. they fixed it but they didn't told me what they did. I hope it won't happen again coz it's the second time.
Great advice, this is what Nissan told us too. However it did it when our foot was off the pedal, so potentially the clutch naturally lowers/loosens over time and triggers the sensor again.
Did it happen again for you Spyke?
Wow I have got 204k on my 2015, 1.6 diesel Qashqai TL (Australian) and the only thing that has broken is the air con fan motor at 94k (replaced under warranty) and I just put a new battery in it. I pity you. Mine has been awesome.

I own a qashqai for over a year nowand I never had a problem everything works perfectly this video is talking about this particular car
Just give it time you will see. Make sure you open it up periodically to 3000 Rpm.
@@taxalterror why should I open it to 3000 rpm ?
Can you give me some more info on the first fault, as my car is the same and seems to be getting worse, is it dangerous and was is covered under warranty.
It would be covered under warranty (First 3 years). Long term it would cause you a breakdown. Hope you get it sorted.
Nissan's quality has gone out the back door since Renault engines and gearboxes are fitted! The French really screwed them!
The Renault-Nissan Alliance was established in 1999. Every version of Qasqai has been released under this alliance. The Renault engines and gearboxes have been used by Nissan since the start. Even Mercedes uses Renault diesel blocks. So, please, explain how your logic works in the issues we see here...
I am a foreigner, but I could just say for Nissan, they should rather replace Renault with the Hyundai Motor Group - which mainly contains the Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Motors - as their technical assistand and stakeholder/mentor instead.
Which means, if Renault cuts ties with Nissan - as well as Mitsubishi Motors - in exchange for Nissan to merge with Hyundai - which is now selling more cars -, therefore Hyundai being a mentor to Nissan could mean for the i20/Rio manufacturer to treat the aforementioned Qashqai maker like the way Opel is doing in regards of themselves selling their cars, e.g. Corsa, Grandland X, in the UK market as 'Vauxhall' instead . A type of excuse that is also an example of a company's national identity/pride, as with Vauxhall being restricted [only] to the British market, while Opel is available in not just the rest of Europe, but also in ex-UK colonies like Ireland, Malta, and Cyprus, as well as South Africa.
Hence, the only reason why Vauxhall is deeply restricted to the United Kingdom market is because of the anti-German sentiment happened before, during, and after World War II.
Which meant that marketing a German-named car manufacturing company on British soil could frustrate its sales, so the solution to resist the entry of Opel in the British automotive market was to favour Vauxhall instead, which has already been a household name in the UK's automotive industry even until Peugeot - now Stellantis with Fiat - took over the griffin - Vauxhall's logo - marque wayback 2017.
Now, back to the issue regarding Hyundai buying Nissan - plus Mitsubishi, which supplied parts to Hyundai's cars in the past - from Renault's umbrella:
The only reason for Hyundai, which bought Kia circa 1998 due to the impact of the Asian Financial Crisis, to buy and treat Nissan like Opel/Vauxhall is because of the point that Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors, a former supplier of technologies to Hyundai, are Japanese by origin.
As Japan colonised and invaded Korea - the country of origin of Hyundai/Kia - from 1910 to 1945, which meant that the legacies of Korea's independence from Japan led Korea to freeze their ties with the Japanese. Resulting both countries to use and apply those ill-bred memories into their companies, e.g. Toyota, Hyundai/Kia, while they're competing with each other. Especially with Nissan already planned to withdraw the Korean market at the end of this year, leaving Hyundai/Kia to be the leader of the pack in the Korean automotive industry.
Whereas for Japan and their automotive market, Hyundai - and not Kia - also has/had a presence in the Qashqai developer's country of origin. But, while Hyundai returned to selling passenger cars in the Japanese car manufacturing market back circa June this year, Hyundai's market share in Japan on the other hand is deeply smaller than Nissan.
Which means, as with Nissan [still] being the second largest automotive manufacturer in Japan by terms of production, Hyundai's lineup in the Japanese market - following their reintroduction in Japan - in fact, is smaller in comparison to Nissan as well.
As with Nissan selling smaller cars that were essentially licenced rebadgings of smaller Mitsubishi cars exclusive to Japan, since Nissan not just took over Mitsubishi back in 2016, but also Nissan started dealing with Mitsubishi for the sake of supplying their [Nissan's] automatic transmissions to Mitsubishi's cars in 2001.
Moreover, that is how Hyundai could take caution if they could take over and treat Nissan - plus Mitsubishi - like Opel for the sake of selling their cars in the UK as a Vauxhall. So, the point is Hyundai/Kia is restricted to [South] Korea, but they will also sell cars alongside Nissan overseas, as Nissan is already selling cars alongside Kia through a joint venture in Indonesia called 'Indomobil Group'.
Whereas, Nissan plus Mitsubishi will be restricted to Japan, thus Hyundai could also withdraw from Japanese grounds if Nissan favours themselves to take Hyundai's place in the land of the rising sun, as having said that both East Asian democracies are still yet deeply wed with national pride than globalism.
Bottomline, if Hyundai could purchase Nissan from Renault's control, then Nissan could swap parts with Hyundai/Kia instead, making half of Nissan's cars - including Navara - to behave like Hyundais/Kias, but that could lead Nissan to push Infiniti - their response to Lexus - into cessation/bankruptcy instead. As well as killing off the GT-R, Z sports cars, and even other Nissan vehicles that are mainly saloons exclusive to the North American market, which is the biggest for both Nissan and Hyundai/Kia overseas due to the proximity between East Asia and the USA/Canada... - to be continued...
Sadly I agree with this. All about margin now for them and the quality has just erroded. Shame as Nissan were a decent brand before.
I am now having issues with Speedo lights not coming on so it's just dull during the dark has anyone else had this issue?
I think all cars have problems more or less. But after 3.5 M qashqai sold, it can't be so bad
Hi there, I hope you are well. Throughout my video and comments I acknowledge all cars have issues. Sadly for me, I have been in for repairs on average every two months since buying. That in my eyes is far from acceptable. I am not an affiliate for anyone nor am I benefitting from this video. I simply want a car which cost 24k + to work at a basic level. I hope you have had better luck with yours.
Mini Man I'm sorry to hear that.
Yes, it is inadmissible to have serious problems after spending 24k ... I've buyed a second hand one with 3 years and 93000 km. I noticed from the first day an annoying noise that comes from the union of two tubes on the left side of the hood, also a wrong start when I take off the belt while the engine is off ... but still finds a pleasure in driving as I have not found in any.
I think you've had very bad luck friend.
Most of these issues they happened on my quashquai So I think I have to accept it can never be that kind of coincidence. there just terrible on the things mentioned.
Thanks for sharing Henry.
Thanks Matheko, I hope you are well 👍
We had an electrical fault this morning the mrs has left it in front of somebody’s drive. Is it possible to move it without switching it on because the handbrake is electric?
Wow this sounds like you had a nightmare. If you have no power there is no way to release the breaks without starting to remove parts like motors from calipers. What happened in the end, did you get it moved?
Thanks for the video. I was going to buy a Qashqai tomorrow but I gave up after watching this.
no dont do it
Hey, how are you? What did you end up with in the end?
i'm locked out of the boot of my 2011 QQ since the battery drained and i locked the charger in the boot and the fob doesn't register.
Can you not go in from the front of the car ? open car drop rear seats down and get your charger out of boot ?
@@terryd229 thanks I'll give it a try. I didn't open any back doors just the front and pop the bonet.

If I can't charge her up or get to the charger can I still lock the back door?
Did you sort this in the end Peter, sounds like a right pain.
@@AUTubeN22 Glad you got it sorted in the end without any mess 👍 Some people would have smashed the window and gone a bit mad 😂
Thanks - I've put a deposit on a 2014 Teka 1.2 Petrol. On 2018 MOT there's advisory stating "exessive nosie from engine on emissions test and when idle", but nothing on MOT after that. I'm buying online - dealership is far away - so asked for a video with engine running. I think Nissan made a boo boo when they teamed up with Renault.
Hi Faruk, I hope all is good with you. Did you buy this in the end? Any advisory like that I would investigate, as it could be lots of things at fault.
Can someone describe to me what's a fly wheel and a pipe fitting ??
Hi Alessandro. The fly wheel relates to the gear box and clutch pedal. It helps put it in gear. Generally you would expect these to last 5-10 years depending on driving style.
There are some people saying the issues are due to the fact Nissan is now owned by Renault but its important to remember that Nissan CVT gearboxes are the worst in the business and they have nothing to do with Renault, purely a Nissan affair with auto boxes being made out if chocolate since the early 2000s to this day I believe. Just do a search, horrid things.
can you confirm when you say flywheel do you mean the clutch flywheel or something else??
Yes the clutch, rare for this to go so early and not linked to our driving style as never happened before.
Wish I'd seen this before we'd bought one
Same here, I am the unfortunate owner of a 2016 1.2T with gearbox, clutch and flywheel problems since new and Nissan just deny it. Now it's costing me am arm and a leg to get it fixed.
So you dont recommend a used on with 50000 miles

The camera fault is hardly the end of the world, how did we manage to park before reversing cameras.
I had battery replaced in my qushquai I lost my satnav and radio how can this be fixed I don't have code
Sorry to hear this. As far as I know if they are geniune parts you have to go to a dealer to get the code. No doubt they will charge you too 😐 Did you get it sorted in the end?
Don't go Ford either. We've had our C-Max 1.5 Ecoboost for 3 years now and it's nothing but problems.
1. Intermittent rough idle, cannot prove it, ongoing for 2 years.
2. Unpredictable throttle response. Sometimes you want to get going smoothly and it revs up above 2000 RPM then cuts power completely causing a big jerk. Ongoing since day one. Countless software updates later somewhat improved but still horrible.
3. Constant stutters when creeping in traffic with the clutch fully engaged and rolling around 1000-1200 RPM. New plugs and coils later it's just as bad. Ongoing since around month 6, service can't fix it.
4. Start stop shuts the engine off, you press the clutch and you get a message saying "manual restart required". Very fun in traffic. Happens rarely, can't prove it, ongoing since day one.
5. Keyless entry often reacts too slowly and you pull the door handle, it's locked, you let go and then it unlocks. Dealer says that's just the way it is, except it was fine for 2 years. Not willing to fix, ongoing.
6. Sync 2 infotainment sometimes totally craps out and it's useless through multiple restarts. Dealer resets it, then it's fine for a while, until it isn't. Ongoing since day one.
7. There was a time when I wanted to start it and it showed me every single fault in existence, but didn't even try to crank. This was 7-8 months ago, cannot reproduce it. Ongoing.
8. Constant creaks and rattles from everywhere. It's to the point where the loudest noise in the car at 80 mph is a rattle coming from the rear right seat belt. Dealer says they can't hear it even sitting inside the car showing it happening. Not even trying to fix, ongoing for a year.
9. Both rear doors are not adjusted properly and they pull the rubber seal sideways when you close the door. It's very loud and squeaky, plus it destroys the rubber and causes excessive wind noise. Dealer says the door cannot be adjusted any further and it's getting worse. Ongoing since day one, not even trying to fix.
The spring that pulls the gear lever back to center squeaks as well. I'm afraid to show it to them because I already know it's useless.
10. The rear left brake caliper started sticking and it's causing to brakes to grab even when I'm not pressing the pedal. Brake pads were gone by the time I noticed it, can't wait for them to say it's my fault for not telling them until the pads went out.
So despite me having all these problems, NOTHING has been fixed. NOTHING. I never went back to the same dealership because I'm not willing to put up with their crap, but all of them are this bad.
As time goes on the car gets worse and worse with no fix in sight. Lost tons of value so selling it is no longer an option. Warranty is running out but it's meaningless because they aren't willing to do shit. I'm planning to write a full list documenting all the problems and their "solutions" and sending it to Ford saying they violated their own warranty terms and they either fix everything or we are going to court.
was thinking of buying a 1.0 c max ecoboost
Hey there, thankyou so much for the post. This situation sounds awful. What happened in the end, have you still got the car?
@@HenryGeorge2018 Ended up selling the car before the warranty expired. Of course it had to leave us stranded before that happened. Radiator blew up and they claimed it was punctured by a rock. I don't think rocks fly around between the engine and the radiator while standing still in traffic...
So we ended up paying for it.
We ended up getting a Nissan Leaf. Yes. Nissan. Electric cars have less components so the chances of failure should be lower.
Yet we have a clicking CV axle. It's a known issue and there is an official fix. Unfortunately that didn't fix ours. After multiple attempts the dealership contacted the national corporate office for help. They passed it along to European headquarters. That was 3 months ago and all they can tell me is that they are working on it...
Nothing is fixed. It's been clicking for over a year. The car is 2,5 years old.
Forward collision assist has so many false positives I ended up getting front and rear dash cams because I don't want to be liable for randomly brake checking people.
So far they replaced the fans on the AC condenser because it was chirping.
They replaced the glove box due to rattles.
Currently waiting on approval to replace the driver seat due to a creak, the front passenger seat due to headrest rattle, both outside mirrors because sometimes they don't fold out and keep clicking, the headliner because it creaks (didn't even think that was possible) and the head unit restarts every 3 minutes when using phone mirroring.
Great car other than all that. By that I mean I wish I had a 20 year old car without having to worry about rust. Those were objectively superior because they worked.
@@ast5515 Glad you got rid of the Ford, at least that part is over. Interesting you went for the Leaf. We have a 2 yr old one as well 😂 Not had the CV axle issue, what is that like? The front collision issue we have, it is awful on corners in particular always going off. What are you going to do with all these problems? Keep going back or trade in whilst the values are strong?
@@HenryGeorge2018 It's funny how we ended up with the same car :D
At the moment I'm screaming at the corporate office both over the phone and via email.
If nothing happens we go to court over the breach of the warranty contract.
New tyres should get 30,000+. Once you change tyres you will get 14,000 miles on cheapest budget tyres. £40-50 each. And 24,000 miles from premium. Not sure why premium does less miles based on price but we all know cars are money pits. Also budget tyres have C rating for wet grip and fuel. Where as premium is often worse coming in at D to F ratings. Wish someone could explain that to me. I get these tyres from either tyre-shopper or black circles
Great summary on tyres here and expected mileage 👍 Often the budget ones will be rated higher, but will simply be rebadged from another more premium brand where people pay twice the price. Its a murky world out there. Good shout on black circles, they have been good each time for us.
What was your experience with the car when flywheel trouble existed?
Hi there, I hope you are well. There was a juddering when idle with a similar noise to the video. Are you having problems?
The noise problem is it the air filter housing drumming against the bulkhead or were the two parts of the intake join
David Jones Thanks for the heads up, appreciated. Will have a look over the next week as dealership are ignoring the issue.
place the rubber discs under the filter body around the screw and add 2 tiny O rings around each screw. Tight the screw back (not too tight). and walla, the rattle gone.
Thanks Alexander Pathishi, great suggestion.
@@alexanderpatishi5876 do you maybe have a photo of how you did this, and maybe where the rubber disc must be put? and also what type of rubber discs?

I've got a 2104 j11, started to judder and make a slightly louder noise at idle, any ideas? Also when accelerating, braking or change of direction I get a clicking/knocking noise from the wheel arch area..
The guy who posted the video is not an auto tech but a customer, from what you are saying I think you need to drive into a garage and get your problems checked out, could be thrust bearing in clutch could be wheel bearing who knows until it has been checked out.
Hi Terry I hope you are well. Sorry to hear you had these issues. Did you ever get to the bottom of your problem?
Nissan Qashqai Front parking sensors manufacturing Fault!
Just had my car in today for the replacement front parking sensors. The plastic coating on the front of the sensors bubbles causing the sensors to intermittently and randomly come on with nothing around the car. This is due to an manufacturing fault as there is no water egress hole in the plastic surround to the sensor!
Nissan’s poor fix is getting the Dealership to drill a hole in the plastic surround under the sensor to allow water escape!
Bristol Street Motors do not inform you of this and put all the blame on Nissan if confronted!
The service assistant was telling me that this wasn’t a Warranty claimable fix! Than after it was done I challenged them why they had drilled 2 holes through my plastic surround and they said it was a common fault and this was Nissans official solution. Two faced service, they tell you that it’s not a warranty fix then admit fault due to manufacturing fault priceless!😂
Classic example of the poorly thought out parts fitted here. To be fair to the dealership, they are just mopping up the turd they have been served, so unless they get paid by Nissan for the repair they are going to give the bare minimum. I like the fact the fix is to drill holes into a 28k car. This is a fix I'd do as a teenager on my Nova after picking it up for £50 with a few months MOT :) Priceless as you say.
Hi, its only 108 horse power. Is it powerfull enough on motorways with 5 peoples. You know what i mean like specially when your stopped on red light with 5 persons and move off with this car is it quick enough? I have 1.4 astra normal version and i am thinking to go for 2017 dci 1.5 tekna.
It is not going to win any races and would take about 12-15 secs to get to 60. So a great question if you need speed and a quick take off 👍
I bet you wished you'd brought a lexus? That's a shame I really like Qashqai id never buy a Nissan now the last one I had was an Almera built by Nissan itself since it joined up with Renault just been downhill since then good luck with this car I hope all your issues get sorted..
Thanks Aziz appreciate your kind comment. They look nice but build quality was awful. Are you a Lexus fan? What are they like?
@@HenryGeorge2018 They are excellent cars reliable some models can be a bit boring lexus are a bit behind in tech thats because they need to make sure ìt all works reliably before installation.

Sorry to hear that @rodden1953 What Nissan are you driving as this seems to be quite common across a variety of their range(s).
Hi Mini Man, its a 2.0 petrol 94 miles. i had one on a contract when they first came out and i loved it, i just retired and thought this one would see me ok for many yrs to come as i dont do many miles now. not sure what to do really. as i dont have a lot to spend. its very economical better than the manual . its not a bad car really just this whining .
Which litre engine is the best one to buy??
The 1.5 is your best bet for that generation. The lower version is just lacking that bit of power. The 1.5 gives decent mileage too. (50mpg)
i have a 2015, literally a money pit ever since i bought it. red lights constantly on dashboard.

Now we are waiting for climate control repair - 3.5 years after purchase
Crap, not the quality
It's so frustrating isn't it? Hope you have managed to get resolved under warranty. Nissan just went cheap on the basic parts and are paying for it now. They are nice looking cars, full of decent tech, just badly let down in this generation by quality.
Gosh I was thinking of getting this car but now after seeing this.........? Not sure.
J TheAndroidFreak I have a part two coming up to this video and as polite as I have been so far, I would not recommend to anyone.
Mini Man Subbed and waiting.
J TheAndroidFreak Nice, what did you go for in the end?
Mini Man Went for the Fiesta ST.
Get a Mazda or even a Hyundai. I am willing to bet that anything is better than a Nissan. It was the biggest mistake I made buying this shitbox: Lambda sensor replaced after 30000km; suspension strut problem after 45000km. Piece...of.....crap!
My Qashqai 2017 1.6D auto Tekna started to rattle while driving cold start, build badly.
Hi Alan, I hope you are well. Yes our is particularly bad on cold days. You can warm up but makes no real difference. Did you ever find out what caused your rattle or are you just putting up with it?As an update they have changed approach at the dealership and now saying no fault found on the rattle and that we are driving with our foot on the clutch all the time (Interesting as I don't and no other car had had this issue) so looking like I may have to take it beyond the dealership/CEO complaints now.
Mini Man. I’ve had found out, that the rattling noise is coming out from top centre dashboard, I have stuck a washing sponge between dashboard & windscreen and the noise has gone!
Haha, I love the creativity here and wonder how you got to this solution :) Next time I am in the car as a passenger I'll give this a go by pressing my hand on that section and then getting a sponge too. This really should be a warranty fix, even if we just get a free sponge ;)
Althoguh my comment might have come a bit late. I bought all new qashqai in Sep 2021 primary xtronic special edition. It has never worked without showing me warning signs day 10 from its purchase, until the dealer mechanic has made it much worse after having disabled all its safety functions to let it drive without abruptly holding its brakes on sight of distant pedestrians. After 1000 miles only and they reported an oil leak then 3rd cylinder firing issue, repaired endless time but imagine all the waste of time leading to only worsening the problem and the car keeps breaking down time to time. Ofcourse, I habe rejected the car on several occasions but the customers and the mechanic insisted that the car has no faults and or been repaired. Other option is a settlement where you end up losing your deposits plus some.of the installments. Yet I am fighting the case and now it's month 7 from having the car and yet it has only 1200 miles as has slept most of its times at the dealer garage who did absolutely nothing when checking my nissan car trips app. Customer service phoning from France and relying on whatever that mechanic would tell them because they will take all measures to procrastinate to make you surrender and losing your rights. Beware of Qashqais and Peugots, it is not the car that matters but the quality of service available. Read articles on ongoing computer and battery issues and don't get tricked by biased reviewers. Ofcourse, some customers might end up lucky with a car having no major problems.
Any update since you posted this video?
Hey Elmo, I hope all is good with you. This was on lease, so it went back after three years. The stop start never got solved, and the flywheel had issues again before we handed back.
But u can turn off the start/stop. Otherwise it’s reduce the fuel consumption.
This is what we did, we just switched it off to stop the warning. I think it is the point it should work 👍
