Nissan Qashqai 2014

[QashqiGrey]

just went in BT for the 2 problems

1) rattling

2) sudden loss of power when reach 60km/h

 

for issue 2 they got a mech to ride with me.. along the way he explained the gear ratio is out.. and said will reset it and solve.

 

still not solve.. not even issue 1.. wasted half of my day there

Hahs Redman, is your QQ the brown one? Saw u in the morning ...

 

Guess they did detect an abnormality else wouldn't need to 'reset'. Good luck, need to make many trips down!

 

Rattling, from?

[Redman]

If you are familiar with the Qashqai 1.2, the supercharger in the Renault sourced engine works only at low speed below 60km/h. Any faster speed, the Supercharger does not activate, leaving the poor 1200 cc engine to move the heavy car body. This explains the sudden loss of power > 60km/h.

 

thanks.. i am beginning to come to term with the fact that this is not the usual NA car i was used to. . somehow mindset gotta change about it. will explore ways to make driving this car more fun..

 

for a start..

how to drive a automatic turbo car haha

yes its me lol..were you the one i said hi to while we wait in q?

 

well i am not going to make a trip specially for this again.. will go down on my next servicing which is about a month.. will use this duration to trial and error and see how it goes.. like my previous post.. could be just me not use to driving a turbo car.

 

 had a manual turbo but guess its not the same

 

rattling from glove box.. which i think many bros here also encountered this... maybe i'll just Diy and cable tie it

Cable tie and then use a sponge around them so that it is the sponge which contacts the glove compartment not the HU cable nor the gps cables Edited January 18, 2016 by EricChan

I think yourself not familiar at all .

Its 1.2 TURBO engine torque start at 1800rpm.

U did not read few page back , i try to answer so call issue st this 55km/h "power lost".

It will hapen to all car , it hapen only first moving off ? Correct ?

 

Is your car running in period ? Are u too gentle to the pedal ?

 

TC will not alble to solve this ,need factory rewrite sofware.

 

At 55km/h cvt shift up gear , rpm too low , rpm drop further, cvt shift down again .rpm go up

Bck to normal.

 

We should not drive this wat .just little bit pedal it will not occur

Adaption.

 

Heard a few thousands QQs have been sold in sgp since the new model is launched.

Not sure true or not and what's the breakdown wrt the 1.2T and the 2.0 L versions

[Wt_know]

May I know anyone here modified the HU so that the dvd can play during drive. Pls pm me where u did it and what's the price. Any issue after the modification

 

Just tell your agent, you want the movie to be able to play while driving. He will gives you the contact of their local contractor, just drive them, the contract will help you, cut away the connection. Just 5 minutes. FOC.

It seems like lost of power is a common issue for QQ1.2. I have the same feeling for my QQ which is 2 months old. Sometime i just feel the car has no pick up powder although it has light turbo (pls pardon me, I am not very good in car). Sometime when I am trying to park my car, i will feel the car like difficult to move. Can reload the software helps?

 

Recently, the front passenger leather seat starts to have wrinkles. I am wondering should I go back to TC as this is under warranty. Anybody encounter the same problem as mine?

 

Anybody feel the "start/stop" button good to use?

[SamTheMan]

Letting go 1 set of brand new window visors still in wrap, original from Aussie Nissan part.

PM me for details.

Thanks.

 

I am interested. New to this forum so can't seem to PM. Should be getting my Bronze 1.2T this round of bidding. Can you let me know I can get in touch?

Nonono.. Pls dun cut anything .. To play the DVD or sd card movie. . only need a password . u can tell tc to activate for u

Folks... chill please. Every car has its small kinks and most of the time the drivers can alter their driving habits to bring out the best in the car. Some have said their friend's QQ have no issues but so far I have not seen a real owner that step up and said his QQ is perfectly fine.

 

I was apprehensive to get a Nissan but the QQ won me over with it's interior, exterior looks, low road tax and insurance. 3 months after getting my car, I am still charmed everytime I look at my car and would really like to continue driving it for as long as possible.

 

Personally though, definitely would not recommend this car to any friends.

 

After spending more than 100k...here's why....

 

1) Really bad crumpled leather seats after the first day (Resolved)

2) Front rattling sound after first week (Resolved)

3) Back rattling sound after second week (Unresolved even after bringing it back to TC)

4) Loss of power after a slow turn/u-turn (Resolved)

5) Brake lock after disengaging from parking brakes (So far have been unable to replicate this issue)

6) Slight condensation in left headlamp after a heavy downpour

Bro, let me help you on this... Just treat me starbucks latte will do... No need to sign any forms... No need to cut any wire.... Just bring dvd or sd card movies will do.. But wont reveal it to you.... less than 2 mins done...

[rachel53]

just sent my car to TC for checking...

 

anyway, they claimed that it is not "power loss", but because of the electronic circuit/software of the start-stop function, the "smart" car have lagging to detect the acceleration. and they are in midst with resolving this problem with Nissan Europe for disable this function permanently.

 

they had reload the software and asked me to monitor if it happens again..

 

and here's the STEPS to prevent this "LAGGING" from happening:

 

1. press START (without pressing brake)

2. off "start-stop"

3. Press START, with pressing brake to on the car

4. PUT ON SEATBELT

5. release hand brake

6. put to "d"

7. DRIVE OFF.

 

kaoz!

 

my concern is on the safety!! this "lagging" definitely is posing a danger on the road.2 days ago, when i was making a U-turn.. and the car couldn't move off fast enough.. crawling slowly... then got honk by an oncoming car!

 

aside to this, the service counter also damn BS! i was suppose to collect my car at 3pm. i called back TC at 3.30 to confirm if i can collect my car, they mentioned there's a delay, because they are giving a free wash to my car, and i am able to collect it at 4pm.

i reached and mentioned time, car still not ready.. say its still at washing bay.

but guess what! when i finally collect my car at 5pm.. it wasn't WASH at all!!

 

soooo disappointing..

 

 

 

I just collected my car yesterday..

but already encounter:

 

- power loss - when moving off from U-turn

- car boot jam

- brake not responsive.. have to really step hard to come to a stop.

 

should I bring it TC or just wait till 1st serving?

Powerloss issue here too... do write in to LTA. These cars should not be on the road as it is hazardous!

[samsarae]

Hi,

 

Can know the branch person who claimed this? Is this their final so call root cause finding? Been through so many threads and everyone has fed a different finding....no actual root cause to the problem source.

 

 

they claimed that it is not "power loss", but because of the electronic circuit/software of the start-stop function, the "smart" car have lagging to detect the acceleration. and they are in midst with resolving this problem with Nissan Europe for disable this function permanently.
