Overview

Hi I have a 2017 Nissan Qashqai J11 St auto petrol model. The orange malfunction indicator light has been on for a while now. I have had the vehicle several times to an auto electrician who has reset it and the code was P0303 with the message that the 3rd cylinder is fisfiring. I have also had it to the local Nissan dealer who again reset it with the same error code showing up. It has had a new coil ignition pack put in as well as a standard service with new spark plugs. It has recently started to shudder a bit when driving and the motor has cut out and stopped when I am stationery. It restarts again when I turn it over. I have taken it to another mechanic and they have swapped the 3rd and 4th injectors to see it that would make a difference. The malfunction light has stayed off, however they got me to take the car on a drive at a speed of 100klms to see what happened. In doing this, the light came back on for a few seconds and went off again but the motor cut out again when I stopped at an intersection. They have rescanned it again and it is now showing that the 4th cylinder is fisfiring which indicates that the injector/s need replacing. Just wondering if anyone else has had this situation before and what the outcome was. Thank you. Debbie. Queensland

Not on late models as it an EU requirement as I understand it. Mine is set up with a shortcut to turn audio warning off by pressing control switch and Okay.

Hello, I wonder if anyone has had the same issue as me. The steering emits a squeak when it there is moisture in the air, so during the warm months since I got the car in June, no noise at all. You can imagine what it has been like recently since it has been raining.... The forecourt I bought the car from has there own garage and they apparently have greased the steering joint, both side since they replaced the gearbox (under warranty) I am going back to them with this continuing issue, but I wanted to see if anyone on here has had the same issue and what it was? Thanks.

In the UK there is a windscreen company called Autoglass and they have all the equipment and necessary knowledge to set up the ADAS If there is somewhere similar in Sweden that you could take the car to for a check and if necessary get them to set it up correctly

Just out of the blue. No prior incident or anything out of the ordinary.

`when did the fault start - following an accident or body damage?

Hi everyone, I’m having a really annoying problem with my 2019 Nissan Qashqai J11 (petrol). All the safety and radar-based systems have started to act up – the front collision warning, side collision, and blind spot warning all trigger in sequence. The error messages appear, then reset, and come back roughly every 10 seconds, no matter what I do. In the beginning, it only happened once after the car had been parked for about a day, but now it happens constantly whenever the car is running. The ADAS control unit has already been replaced by an official Nissan workshop, but the issue remains exactly the same. They’ve spent two full days diagnosing it without finding a clear fault. No specific sensor fault codes were stored either. I’ve checked the camera wiring behind the rear-view mirror, since I know I’ve previously moved that cable slightly because it was creaking. I’ve opened the cover and inspected the connector — everything looked clean and fine, but I haven’t done more than that. The sequence of warnings always starts with the front collision alert, then the side and blind spot systems follow a few seconds later. The battery has been replaced by Nissan already so that is ruled out. At this point, I’m stuck. Has anyone seen similar behaviour on the J11? https://share.icloud.com/photos/04aB5DH7H_CRWKt8RlSVHB7lQ

thanks for updating us and please let us know how it proceeds

The Qashqais have only got the fuel flap protecting access to the fuel inlet. Is it possible to fit a locking fuel cap inside the body flap? If so anyone know of where to get one. please.

Nissan are looking into my new car that was not giving the advertised range of 759 miles on delivery as they said it should (only giving 660 a 100 mile discrepancy. Car delivered with full fuel tank and only delivery mileage of 10 miles). second tank fill still only 660 range. Awaiting their investigation!

Manufacturers were all found guilty of doctoring the figures by any means necessary - so they really are just guidelines. Your driving style, routes, terrain will all play a part in the overall fuel consumption....even air conditioning and having a roof box will play a part in the outcome

Just bought the new 2025 e-power Qashqai with an advertised range of 759 miles. It was given a full tank of petrol by the dealership with delivery mileage of 10 miles and the range was only 660. (The salesperson said he was surprised when he filled up and noticed the range was only 660). It was explained that the car was to learn the drivers habits and range would be noted accordingly. Surely it should have given, as new - undriven, the advertised range of 759 and then yes as it adjusted to driving habits the range would alter. I changed from a 2024 e-power Qashqai and with our driving habits managed to achieve, or thereabouts, this models range of 550 miles which it was started with. Both of the models being the N-Connecta.

So, a little update on ours! We've managed to get a warranty replacement agreed via Ancaster and Nissan UK. We had to prove service history and it's going to take 6-8 weeks because there's a part out of stock (they've already had it 6 weeks). It took some arguing but definitely worth pursuing, especially if you've maintained your vehicle.

Thanks. No instruction hadn't changed anything. Just did reset when it stopped working.

Have any of the settings changed (e.g. bluetooth to your phone, etc)? I would try pressing a few buttons to find mute, volume, etc If it powers up then it won't be a fuse thats blown

When I had this i thought it was a phone or car setting. Can't really remember but I did get it to stop by altering which ever setting it was.

Hi. I have a qashqai j11 2016 n connecta. A couple of days ago I turned on the radio and no sound. I have tried a reset but no joy. I rang nissan dealer they wanted £150 to diagnose. And if I need a new headunit it's £3000 thats three thousand not a typo lol. Has any got any ideas. A friend suggested a memory fuse gone in the unit but I can't find one listed. Any ideas welcome.

I would suspect it is the brake pads moving backwards and forwards - usually happens if the pads fitting kit is missing and allows the pads to move in the carrier. If it was the driveshaft joint then it would be constantly be clicking on acceleration and deceleration

Did you resolve the issue? I was thinking it may be the Dual Mass Flywheel (if manual transmission) starting to break up Usually noticeable when switching the engine on/off when it will start to rattle

I am really sorry to hear that -sadly you don’t have dig deep to see lots of other people in the same boat. I am afraid I found Nissan completely awful to deal with- I really hope you have better luck as we have lost thousands. Citizens advice suggested approaching the car finance company if you have a finance deal because claims can be made outside the warranty of the vehicle. Trading standards are also worth contacting - the more of us who contact the DVSA with evidence I think the better - because engine failure without warning is very dangerous, particularly as this is such a popular family car. I am planning on sending details about this issue to car journalists. I hope you get a happier resolution.

Exact same thing just happened to me this weekend, car just stopped with no warning! I'm going to try and claim through my finance company claiming a breach of my consumer rights but i'm not hopeful. Looking online it seems the problem is endemic!

Hello All, Hope everyone is doing well and keeping happy. Wondering if anyone can shed some light, have a late 2017 Nissan QQ 1.2 DIG-T. When you rev up the vehicle as the revs start to drop back down you can hear a single thud sound (sounds like hitting a bongo drum) Thank you very much

Hey all, Hope life has been treating you well. I have an odd, So I have a Nissan QQ 1.2 dig 2017. I have noticed that when move off in reverse or set of forward you get a clicking noise from front driver side wheel (see video: https://youtu.be/btICZDUeN4E?si=Z_dPz4Ju8Nc86824 but it only does it once on the initial reverse set off or forward set off which would suggest it's not something getting caught. You can make it also do it, if you are in reverse gear, holding the brake and letting out the clutch pedal all whilst stationary Things done: I have inspected all suspension components. There is.in and out play in of drive shaft. 2) Checked.dog.bone mount. 3) checked for play in wheel / wheel bearing 4) check with wheel on for anything catching. If anyone has any ideas? Thank you

Thank you yes haven’t given up yet as we really looked after our car so feel it is pretty unfair 🙃

its amazing how powerful the media can be in resolving such issues with manufacturers - keep trying as you may get a good outcome
