I have the same problem. I took mine into the local dealership and told them the problem. Of course, I can't make it happen and the drove it around and could not replicate it. So they said "nothing we could find." I wonder if you have noticed a decrease in your gas mileage too? Mine use to average around 28 and now its 25.7.

 

[twmillsaps]

Yes I think it has gone down a little I have appointment Monday at the dealership. They better hook my car up to that reader and tell me what it wrong not send me off. I have a feeling it is the cvt.

Well please let me know if they find anything or tell you what is going on. Maybe if you tell them other's have had issues, they will take it more seriously. Good luck.

So no dice just left the dealership no codes they couldn’t duplicate it basically looked at me and said I was a moron it’s not happening I’m going to buy a dash cam with audio so I will catch it next time it happens and make them find the issue with the evidence

I have a 2019 Nissan Kicks, same problem but mine makes a grinding noise from the front left passenger side. Happens 6-8 times a week. Took it to Larry H Miller Nissan in Mesa, AZ. The dealership was able to replicate the noise, but has no idea what's causing it. This after 4 trips to the dealership. Please report this issue on the National Highway Transportation Safety website. 2019 NISSAN KICKS SUV FWD
My Kicks has less than 4,000 miles and was purchased new in November 2019. The nhtsa has 2 other complaints about this same problem.

ok so i got it on video from my dash cam finally. in teh video i am about to post it does it around the 22 or 23 second mark is this the same noise you guys are getting?
i will be going to the site now and report it

 

[Davecr102]

Yes, but mine started like that and got progressively worse. I think it's the transmission. I also have a new pinging noise. At 4K miles they replaced the leaking strut in the left side but it didn't help. The seatbelt was also defective and had to be replaced and the infotainment system is also defective.

Dealer told me it was the antilock brake system. The hydraulics system. Not to sure if I believe that

Yes. I have a 2019 and I have this happen to me too. I can’t replicate it though. I notice it makes the grinding noise, going slow- no gas or brake- going over a speed bump. Anyone else?

Try to disable the traction control. See if the problem goes away. I hope this helps.

Hello TWMILLSAPS, my Kicks 2020 produces also a grinding noise when releasing the gas pedal. I think this happens when the transmission (i.e. the inertia of the car) drives the engine. It could be the springs of the clutch disc or an engine-transmission set mount. BTW, mine is a manual transmission.
This seams to be random but I think it depends on the temperature of the cylinders, which changes slightly the friction between piston and cylinder and hence the training torque. I keep tracking the issue but I am not much concerned.
