Thanks TF, hope you are enjoying your new car.

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 .

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.

So sorry to hear that taxalterror. Did you replace the Qashqai in the end?

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.

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?

Thanks T-Bone

Thanks Ayob, appreciated. Have a good new year 👍

Thanks Matheko, I hope you are well 👍

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.

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

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?

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.

Awesome post with great detail. I hope all is good with you and happy new year

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.

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.

@@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.

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.

Haha, I think this is quality of parts more than assembly in our case.

@@HenryGeorge2018 It is poor quality parts .

😂

Hey thanks for your comment. What did you go for on the end?

So sorry to hear your having issues too Sara 😢

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.

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

Thanks 👍 Yes our pre 2014 was much better quality wise. Only one repair to the boot latch.

@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

Thanks, good luck with finding your new SUV

I think I might get a KIA?

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 ?

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 👍

"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?

It would be covered under warranty (First 3 years). Long term it would cause you a breakdown. Hope you get it sorted.

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?

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.

You are not alone, check ; facebook.com/groups/365306860735230/ casse-moteur-renault.weebly.com

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

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 :(

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 👍

Hi there, I hope you are well. There was a juddering when idle with a similar noise to the video. Are you having problems?

I hope you are well. Sorry I didn't get back in time, but what did you end up with?

Yes the clutch, rare for this to go so early and not linked to our driving style as never happened before.

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?

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 😞

if u are pulling the E-handbrake that's the sound i guess.

Good shout with that answer 👍

Hey there, I hope you are well. That juddering was how ours started sadly. Have you managed to get sorted?

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? thank you!

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 Maybe i would do 5-10k miles a yr

@@ignatiusloubser9315 Sorry to hear that, maybe better to switch whilst it still has some value in it?

@@greenprofile5755 The pre 2014 ones seemed to be ok quality wise. I would steer clear of the newer ones.

Me.too but haven't come Across any of this yet just had mine 6 days ago

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?

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.

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?

Hi Ellie, hope all is good with you. They were near the gear stick or in the glove box from memory.

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.

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 🤞

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?

Haha, I don't think it matters when it is assembled, just cost cutting on parts :)

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?

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 .

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)

For 70k miles that is not bad at all.(Every car has issues eventually) Did you move across to the 17/18 version?

@@HenryGeorge2018 not really. I moved to Kia Sportage diesel 2017.

@@mrjuice24 Good shout, a nice looking car. How you finding it?

Hey, how are you? What did you end up with in the end?

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.

Did you ever get this solved? Must have been annoying when they fobbed it off

Hey there, hope all is good with you. Not heard that fix for stop start.(They tend to say battery at fault) Has it resolved the issue now?

Hey @knightlore I hope all is good with you. Thanks for the comments, appreciated. What did you go for in the end?

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.

We never fixed the stop start and just turned off instead. Thankfully this was a lease vehicle.

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?

@@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 👍

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 ;)

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.

This is what we did, we just switched it off to stop the warning. I think it is the point it should work 👍

Hope you got this sorted and its all working now.

How do I match my rear tailgare wireing as five wires have broken and thier all black not colour coded

It was the 1.5.

Hi Steven, I really feel for you on this one. How did you resolve in the end? Did you complain to Nissan?

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.

Hope you have managed to get this sorted, or have you sold it on now?
