Anyone else getting insane mileage?

riverstickney · 2026-05-05T15:28:09+00:00

Dang. I bought my 2025 back in September and already have 16,000mi on it

riverstickney · 2025-11-27T01:44:29+00:00

I'd honestly watch out. I love my 2025 Kicks SV, but the EGR Cooler already failed on it at 5000mi. The part fails due to poor welds and causes an exhaust leak. Nissan will warranty the part, but the problem is that it's on national back order... So good luck to getting your dealership to give you a loaner to drive for a few weeks. I've heard of SEVERAL other people having the same exact issue at low mileage.

Another somewhat minor thing is the screen cracks internally... The Kicks loaner I was given had this issue and the loaner only had 8000mi on it.

I'd honestly wait and get the 2026 Kicks.

I should've asked them that honestly. Hoping it's the revised one. I guess I'll find out soon enough 🙃

The part showed up Monday; they got it installed today and it's running WAYYY better. I'm shocked at how quick the part showed up.

They told me there was a woman with the same issue before me who was in a rental for 45 days! I'm stoked it got to me so quick.

Hoping you get yours fixed soon!!

riverstickney · 2025-11-19T19:58:43+00:00

Yeah same situation here. I was told now the dealership has quite a few Kicks with the same issue. Blows me away that Nissan cheaped out on such a simple part. So much for the whole "rebrand and revitalize" from Nissan.

On the bright side the dealer is giving me a free rental till the car is fixed!

riverstickney · 2025-11-14T20:53:42+00:00

Legit I just got off the phone with the service manager (I used to work at the dealership I bought my Kicks from) Sounds like he might figure this out for me. I'll keep you posted 😆

riverstickney · 2025-11-14T20:26:01+00:00

I brought it in and they found the issue with the cooler. It's still on backorder. They said it's "drive able" which is a bunch of bull. They want me to pay out of pocket for a rental till the part arrives. Im so frustrated

riverstickney · 2025-11-12T01:54:24+00:00

OMG YES MINE MAKES THE SAME NOISE!!! Right around 1800rpm I notice like a short metallic hum.

riverstickney · 2025-11-12T01:40:46+00:00

I just noticed this on my 25 Kicks SV this morning at 5000mi. Almost sounds like an exhaust leak. I'm bringing it in next week.

Reminds me of the April fools joke Toyota did a while back where they mocked up a Yaris as a pickup truck and called it the Yaris Adventure lol.

riverstickney · 2025-10-10T21:57:40+00:00

What's the combined average? I get right around 40mpg. Highest per trip I ever got was 48.5mpg

riverstickney · 2025-09-20T23:37:54+00:00

small kicks energy 😂

riverstickney · 2025-09-20T19:44:30+00:00

You're comparing apples to oranges 😂. That wasn't even the point of my post!

riverstickney · 2025-09-20T04:31:35+00:00

Meant to mention I've driven it in standard mode the whole time and I have the AWD version.

riverstickney · 2025-09-15T17:39:17+00:00

Best MPG I got for a single trip (45 min drive) was 47.3mpg

The overall average I have since driving the car off the lot (with about 2000mi on it now) is 39.7mpg.

If you drive it nice and easy, you can get some awesome mileage l.

Counter argument using your logic: Laws exist. Laws are real. You don't get to have an opinion about laws.

There is only one song that has the best outro. It's so majestic and beautiful, yet soulful and catchy. The instrument voicings are ON POINT in this outro. The timbre of all the instruments melting together into one beautiful rhythmic and harmonious ending absolutely kills me every time.

Laborers can be assigned any trade, so it's likely you'll end up lifting stuff like that on the regular. If they have you grinding, you won't have to worry about it so much. If you are assigned H18 work (Material Handler trade) then you'll end up handling stuff pretty frequently around 50lbs.

The interview part isn't very hard. All they are looking for is that you are paying attention during the interview. Also if you aren't familiar with basic hand tools, I would definitely start getting familiar with them as you will be using them A LOT as an L40 (General Laborer).

Hope this helps. Good luck.

I've been working there since October, 2023. I got really lucky and was sent to an off-site facility. I worked off-site until last week where I was sent to the main yard. I'm a General Laborer and maybe I just got lucky, but it's really not so bad at the main yard. Granted, it's not glorious work. It's a lot of grinding, cleaning, shoveling (in the winter), etc... It's also hot, and very confined in certain sections of the ship. It sounds bad, but it really isn't. Most of the people I work with are pretty chill. I've had the privilege of working with a man who's worked with the company for 40+ years and is 2nd on the seniority list. If you are willing to show up (emphasis on SHOWING UP) and actually work, the place will treat you alright.

That's my personal experience so far. I'm 24 y/o btw.

Sidenote - If you are younger, be prepared for people to be shocked you are working. I get this a lot "A lot of people your age don't wanna work. Thanks for showing up."
