While I am driving it is hard shifting and idling high, sometimes it doesn't want to pick up speed when starting from a stop. The wheels locked up going down a off ramp. There are no warning lights or anything on the dash. I will have it checked Monday but this started out of the blue. I have had regular maintenance on the vehicle and have all my receipts for proof. This is a serious issue especially with the wheels not functioning right and speed control is fluctuating.

I was driving and the rear wheel broke off rendering the vehicle not able to be driven and at the same time If I had been on the highway, I could have been killed. In addition 2 wheel bearings were also been found to be defective. When I called NISSAN, the agents stated that this was not the concern of NISSAN and would not pay for the defective parts.

ON 2/19/2021 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HWY AND THE CAR WAS LOSING POWER. I DON'T DRIVE IT THAT MUCH SO WASN'T SURE IF IT WAS JUST ME. BUT AS I PULLED INTO A DRIVE THRU AND WAS COMING TO A STOP, THE CAR WAS IDLING A LITTLE ROUGH AND THE ENGINE WAS TICKING AND LIGHTLY KNOCKING. ALSO HERE IS A LIST OF CONTINUING ISSUES THAT WE HAVE HAD OVER THE YEARS SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW WITH LIKE 12 MILES ON IT. THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW HAS NEVER WORKED. THE RADIO BLUETOOTH ALWAYS HAD CONNECTIVITY ISSUES. THEN THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT APPEARED AND IS STILL ON. THE TIRE SHOP SAID IT MIGHT BE A DEFECTIVE TIRE SENSOR BACK PASSENGER. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON NOW. THEN THE RADIO ANTENNA FELL OFF THE ROOF, I GLUED IT BACK ON. RECENTLY THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL HAVE NOT BEEN FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, OR NOT AT ALL. AND THE DRIVER WINDOW BUTTON DOES WHATEVER IT WANTS TO DO, SOMETIMES IT WILL WORK WITH SOME LIGHT FINESSE.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, DASHBOARD ALERTED TO FRONT END COLLISION WARNINGS BUT I WAS NOT IN A COLLISION THEN MOMENTS LATER THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE BLEW CAUSING BODY DAMAGE TO THE BUMPER AND GUARDS, TOTALLY SHREDDING THE TIRE. THE CAR HAS ONLY 18,500 MILES AND TIRES WERE PROPERLY INFLATED. NORMAL DRIVING USE. TIRES ARE MADE BY KUMHO AND THE CAR IS A KIA FORTE. I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THESE SPECIFIC BRAND TIRES BLOWING OUT AROUND 20,000 MILES EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE GUARANTEED FOR 70,000 MILES. UNFORTUNATELY BLOW OUTS, BUBBLES, ETC ARE ALL NOT COVERED UNDER TIRE WARRANTY OR UNDER CAR WARRANTY. VERY DISAPPOINTING AND VERY DANGEROUS.

I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL ON 03/01/2019, THEY CHANGED TIRE VALVE STEMS AND ACU EXTENSION. WHEN THEY FINALLY FINISHED WORKING ON MY CAR. I LEFT AND WAS DRIVING HOME SO I TOOK THE 60 FREEWAY AND WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL AND A CAR ALMOST HIT ME BECAUSE OF THAT. I COMPLAINED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED TO MY CAR. THE MANAGER LATER COMES TO ME AND TELLS ME THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO CRACKED TIRES AND THAT'S WHY MY TIRE WENT FLAT BUT I TOLD THE MANAGER THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE SINCE MY TIRES ARE IN GOOD CONDITION AND ALSO IF MY TIRES WERE ALL CRACKED THEN WHY DID ONLY ONE TIRE LOSE AIR AND NOT ALL OF THEM? ALSO THE SERVICE ADVISOR MENTIONED TO ME THAT SAME MORNING THAT THE TECHNICIAN WASN'T ABLE TO OPEN THE HOOD TO MY CAR AND I FOUND THAT VERY WEIRD SINCE A WEEK PRIOR TO THAT I HAD OPENED THE HOOD TO MY CAR WITH NO PROBLEM AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I WENT TO THE MECHANIC TODAY AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE TIRE THEY GAVE ME WAS A CHEAP BRAND TIRE AND MY TIRES WERE NOT CRACKED AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY HOOD, WHEN THE MECHANIC OPENED THE HOOD HE FOUND THAT THE MOTOR COVER WAS COMPLETELY CRACKED IN HALF. I BELIEVE THE TECHNICIAN SOMEHOW CRACKED IT IN HALF WHILE CHECKING MY CAR AND LIED AFTERWARDS AND MADE THAT STATEMENT ABOUT THE HOOD NOT OPENING, I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW MOTOR COVER. THE MANAGER WAS LYING AND COVERING FOR THE MISTAKES HIS TECHNICIAN MADE. THE MECHANIC MADE A NOTATION ON MY RECEIPT AND AGREED WITH ME ABOUT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WAS LYING TO COVER FOR THE MISTAKES THE TECHNICIAN MADE. I WAS VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE LIES THEY MADE UP ABOUT MY CAR TO COVER UP THEIR MISTAKES, THE POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE GIVEN TO ME AND THE NEGLIGENCE THEY SHOWED ME ESPECIALLY SINCE MY SAFETY WAS AT JEOPARDY SINCE I ALMOST CRASHED AFTER THEY WORKED ON MY CAR.
