mycarforum: Nissan Qashqai 2014 part 45

Yep willing to take the hit for such a lousy car...

Lol....you will be the 1st to sell. Didn't find any 1.2T qashqai in sgcarmart. Since still nobody selling chances very high letting go.

Finally !!!

The hissing sound you guys hear is most likely the turbo wastegate doing its thing .. you usually hear it when you accelerate a little harder and release the accelerator (on my relative's QQ 1.2 which i drive occasionally)

It's mentioned in the QQ review by Burnpavement (interesting review!)

SLK is mine. I use QQ for work for its space. Can?� [:)]

�

I am quite frustrated with QQ's rattling on certain occasions. Doesn't happen on every drive but enough to make driving frustrating. Really bad built quality. I thought Japanese cars have improved. Quite disappointing. Only wanted a smooth quiet drive but QQ cannot provide this.

Also contemplating on selling the car next year.

Wastegate noise supposed to be sought-after noise. Ah Bengs used to spend money to buy fake waste gates to fit in their cars so as to pretend that their cars got turbo when actually don't have. (They are also the ones who fit fake turbo boost pressure dials).

Don't worry about the noise. Just be happy you have the noise for free when others have to pay money for it.

Lexus is your answer dud...

Collected my ride yesterday. After pump petrol, I experienced the power loss. Maybe really need 15 min to shut down the electronics before restarting cos I restarted after 10min only. Went out for dinner in the evening n it's ok. Will monitor n let u guys know again. IMHO, this car car can pick up quite well, filtering is fast too. Power at hand whenever u need it.

Isn't TC supposed to rectify the power loss issue before the owner collect their cars?
What is shit job was that !
Don't think it is acceptable to wait for 15 mins to restart the car :(
Your 1.2 has a good pick up...lol

Been driving for 9 months already. Mileage at ~25K, so far so good. If really ask for a 'complain' the radio receptions sucks. After the 1 warranty over then go change.� [laugh]

�

I will be arranging for a 5K svc and to sort out the power loss issue with Mr Tan of Ubi soon.

�

That aside, my dad usually drives without the radio on, its a quiet drive all the time. Recently I drove and did no turn on the radio too.�When I accelerate, I heard what sounded like soft flapping/air intake resonation sound/abit like choking.

�

Is this normal? I mean usually radio will be on and any such sounds will be muffled and can't be heard.

�

Can you guys try it and let me know if the sounds I described is normal?

�

Thanks!

Pocus: Vacuum? Abit, but not exactly. Difficult to discribe

�

Qashqaigrey:Not tok tok, not hissing.

�

SiLangKia: not wastegate.

�

Can anyone try off drive without the radio on and hear if there is sound?

�

Thanks!

but exclude the FC and road tax that you can surely save more than 15k, 20k over the 10 years usage, the insurance alone would already save you 6 to 10k if you choose QQ over XT. Not to mention that QQ OMV is higher which mean we get back few thousand more when scrapping the car.

�

In another words, if you do the homework, XT is ~30k or more than QQ. Just that�Forester give buyer�a false impression that it look cheap at the initial cost.

�

Hope that TC will bring in the 1.6L version to replace this CMI�1.2L version [smash]

�

Note: If TC can fix the current 1.2L version issue, we wouldn't be still seeing such complaint till now. If they do not know how to or can't�fix, then change it to 1.6L version

Forester's rugged image not too my liking. Simple & boring interior with hard plastics too.�

�

When the QQ don't have rattles/vibration, it's smooth & quiet.. value for money. When the rattles come, you can't pinpoint them.. seems like come from more than 1 source.

�

My SLK is hard roof.. glass top. Should have scuttle shake and vibration more because it is a convertible but it doesn't. QQ really takes the cake.. sometimes I wonder if it's a poorly made convertible from the rattles I hear� [laugh]

�

I am waiting for new Audi A4 to hit our shores then decide how. Currently the new C-class is my top choice for a proper 4 seater for me to use on a daily basis. GLA250 on my list too� :wub:

I read that there are some QQ group outside of this forum that I can join. How do I join them?

Ask a silly question. The leather trim for the side door n centre console is the same colour as the seats? Selected the beige leather n noticed how ugly it went with the door panel n centre console!

Hi guys,

Looking to replace my 9 years 6 months old Latio and was looking keenly at QQ 1.2.
After reading through many pages, I am a bit apprehensive now as it seems to have this scary power loss issue.
Does anyone know whether Tan Chong is able to solve it permanately ? Or it will just be a recurring nightmare for the next 10 years.

If this isn't a good option, I'll probably go for Vezel or even Sylphy already

�

Vezel still very new and not sure if all teething problems ironed out yet.�

The problem is that the 1.5L version of Vezel (HR-V) is not sold in US - if it was, you can then see what sort of problems/recalls are happening very easily (as US quite transparent for such things).� Since the US Honda Fit/Jazz has same/similar engine as Vezal, can use that as an indicator:

http://hondanews.com...-2015-honda-fit

For modern cars (any brand/model), it is usually best to wait a year or two to let others iron out the bugs for you.

�

Sylphy meets that criteria - out long enough that bugs seems to be ironed out.� US Sylphy (called Sentra there) has few problems but the Sylphy/Sentra there is actually not using the 1.6L engine used in Singapore.� For the 1.6L engine, have to look at the smaller US Nissan Versa and Note there for the 1.6L engine and so far, looks relatively problem free.

So Sylphy seems like a good choice (also, if you go to this forum's Sylphy thread, seems quite ok also).

�

If you are still interested in SUV that cost around the Vezel cost but out long enough to seem safely reliable, then can consider Subaru XV.� You can go to see Sylphy and XV at the same time if you go to Leng Kee.� Showrooms for both are in same building (upstairs Nissan and downstairs Subaru as both AD belong to Tan Chong Group).

�

Another SUV choice around that budget and out long enough is Mitsubishi ASX.� (Have not researched in depth for this but just based on how long the model has been out).� However, beware the advertised price is non-guaranteed COE and seems based on very low (unrealistic?) COE.� To do apple-to-apple comparison, you need to find out guaranteed price.

�

No car is perfect - all got advantages and disadvantages.� Depends on your criteria.

Hi�

New to this forum. Will be getting a pearl white QQ 2 in Nov.�

Appreciate any help with the following questions:

�

- What are the most useful accessories for this model? and links? interested in bike rack.

- Details on original HU (photos if can)

- Cost effective paint protection - will not be having a garage for a few months, concerned about yellowing.

�

Thanks.

Quite impressive! �Can see that you have average speed of 54km/h. �I only manage 26km/h due to mainly city drive. I get quite poor FC as a result.

The built quality of Nissan.. based on this QQ model, not quite up there.

�

Check the gap between bonnet and side fender metal area, above the wheel arcs.. you will probably spot uneven gaps on both sides of the car. Next time when we wanna sell, people will think the car has had an accident.

�

Check the gap around the middle portion.. of your steering wheel. You will notice it's slanted to one side.

�

Not to mention the occasional rattles in the car.. like I am driving a convertible. Only thing is I am not.

Family has had other Japanese cars in the past before like previous gen Sylphy, Cefiro..

Dun bundle up nissan and TC issues together lah ....

Leather issue, rating issue gps cables and others are TC's due to local subcon that can affect all TC's cars and not only Qashqai.

On power loss, which of your mentioned cars has stopstart function, active ride control etc. ?

Many bros here are enjoying their rides ....

Luckily Singapore Subarus all Japan made even though TC has Subaru assembly plant in Malaysia. Also most models have OEM HU so less local messing with the original product.

Don't have power loss issue on my QQ1.2T. You mean have stop start function and other gizmos can justify the power loss problem?

But it's quite a worrysome problem.. esp. when QQ is a widely sold car in Singapore.

The rattles.. from door panel, from glove box door.. these from TC? Lol.

The leather one I agree. But still spoils the experience.

Don't get me wrong. I enjoy the QQ1.2T, spacious, comfortable, smooth and cheap to run. But very bad built quality overall from the rattles as mentioned. Go check your bonnet gaps, steering wheel middle portion whether slanted to a particular side. I am sure most other Japanese cars of the same segment dont have such.

that's the problem when AD take matters to their hand and mess up a factory built car [thumbsdown]

one of my critical criteria in selecting car is to ask are everything factory fitted swee swee?

likewise you don't want to buy an iPhone and local dealer open the casing to fit up the battery, will you?

Yep, next car will be a non-jap too, will avoid NISSAN!!

Thanks!

Just got news from my SE that the next shipment will come in mid Nov and they will need another 2 weeks to do checks on the car before they can release the car.

Need 2 week to check :a-panic: �So mean this coming batch no more power loss issue?

Neh .... Check for everything except power loss ....lol.

Neh .... Check for everything except power loss ....lol.

According to my SE mention that they will have diagnose check that take 3 to 4 hours on each car. Hopefully it will solve the power lost issue. Collect my ride soon hope it will address the problem.

1.2L
my "not happy" is more to their service centre related..
not so pro I think

I kena all:
1. Poor service; lost air cap after 1st service, no effort to response even after logging in feedback, many more
2. Power lost
3. Front passenger air vent vibration
4. HU loud vibration
5. Back rattling
6. Brake cranking
7. Steering wheel skewed

Who can beat me??

Nowadays car service centre service so so only.
I am quite certain I want to get 1.2 till I read some horror stories here about power loss issue.

Alternative will be Vezel but never bought from PI before

Try XV, since AD... Quite good drive

XV is only slightly cheaper than Forester but performance far apart.�what is XV consider as? Hatch?

I think it is just the bad Bluetooth connectivity. It happens sometimes.

You need to pay attention when the HU gets hanged. Good luck.

XV is abbreviation for Crossover (X is a slanted "cross" and oVer) - which is basically an SUV that does not look or drive like a normal boxy SUV/Landrover-Jeep, but though high like an SUV, looks nicer (not so boxy) and drives more like a normal car. (Juke and Vezel are other examples of crossovers)

XV is actually is modified from the Subaru Impreza hatchback (so you are right in a way) but raised higher and given SUV-size tires and suspension plus all the protection along the bottom sides of the car plus roof-rails so that it looks SUV-like.
Power-wise definitely less than Forester but heard that it is good enough (XV has very good low-end torque) if you are used to the Cat A Japanese/Korean sedans in Singapore which are generally under-powered (a 1.6L engine in a Spore car that in US would have a 2.0L engine).� Also, as with almost all Subaru vehicles (except the BRZ), XV comes with all wheel drive (which is a cheap way to get Audi Quattro type of cornering and wet road / dirt-gravel rally performance).

Sgcarmart show 113.8k vs 119.8k = 6k difference. Where u get 15k discount from?

�

Nissan cars used to be pretty reliable in general.

After reading the pages on problems faced by Qashqai owners, I wonder if it could be due to the Renault engine used in the Qashqai?

Family got xv at $106k, realised was comparing forestor turbo which my boss bought at 129k ard the same time, diff 23k. Btw sgcarmart doesnt tell u the 'discounts' given. The real retail price u need go into showroom to ask.

sgcarmart price beh choon one ...

They better make sure no power loss issue, if not i will go down to service centre make noise.

Took a ride in my colleagues 1.2 QQ just now.
Car feels pretty decent and pickup isn't too bad. He is quite satisfied with his few months old car.
Just sent for servicing. No power loss issues whatsoever.

Maybe it dosent affect every car ?

Using relative value to compare the difference is quite accurate. If the SE give me 3k of discount from price list on forester from my trade in car, Probably they can offer the same if I choose XV instead. So we can remove that variance concerns.

�

Unless we are comparing car from different brand/AD, then it will made sense

Bro 2.0 where got power lost issue?
I think TC gave u the wrong car la.
U been driving a 1.2 since day1 that's y so many issue.
Or u driving vezel thinking its qashqai?

Been driving a 2.0 for almost a yr, won't say its 0 issue, but TC been doing their best to solve every issues I brought up.

Judging from all the horror stories from Qasqhai owners.. At least the vocal ones, it's starting to worry me..

Dunno whether to get this car or to change to another alternative..

issit really that bad?

i cant remember whether did I ask this question before. Is there a tie in period with the SE that serve us during test drive for Nissan? �Usually how long?

�

Kindly advise. Ty

Me too. There are some issues, nothing major but TC always attend to it. Not sure I will get the same with PI.�

Edited by Kiteman, 30 October 2015 - 05:59 PM.

Am not comparing apples with apples, but I'd rather get the Sylphy 1.6 at $106k and save $10K over the Qashqai.

Sylphy 1.6 N.A. and Qashqai 1.2 turbo both deliver 114 horses. Sylphy is 80 kg lighter too.

114 horses in a raw naturally aspirated engine , I feel is better than smaller turbo charged engine on steroids.

No offence to Qashqai 1.2 owners

Ya, i guess it does not affect all and maybe only 10% of the buyers are in this forum. Base on the post by DopeyOne on the number of cars registered in LTA website, there is about 100 - 300 qashqai or xtrail being registered monthly. https://www.lta.gov....egn_by_make.pdf

Need to take this thread with a pinch of salt. Some ppl drive same car no problem say until alot of problem. Some people don't even own this car or tested it but say until like they own it and giving alot of comments as if they are car designers. Some new account come in state one whole list of problem then disappear. Sometimes i wonder if they are from PI or other ADs. Which is why many QQ owners like me don't bother coming here often anymore. And they always like to say you have been warned.�

Could not agree more

One of the best in the price range and class

No money buy 2l so 1.2l kena many issues.
If driving vezel then won't be complaining liao, probably much better than qq

ppls comment Vezel is an upsize B&B car Jazz for new driver. Is QQ the same?

Am considering to get 2.0 instead. Price not a lot of diff.

And seems that 2.0 has less issues.

Does it matter if the car is a B&B car or not?

You read his criteria in selecting car, not surprised he won't have any choices left in the end.... Maybe a Bentley or Aston Martin.... Hehe..

Is the 2l engine old? Sometimes old is good cos it should be stable.
Read somewhere that the 1.2l engine is made by Renault. Is the 2l engine also made by Renault ?

The 2 litre engine is carried over from the previous model Qashqai.

�

Yes, old can be good, just like the current Toyota Vios which is still using the same 1NZFE 1500c engine from the year 2000 G9 Corolla, with dinosaur 4 speed auto tranny. Imagine a 15 year old engine in a brand new car!

So does that mean the 2.0l engine is Japan made whereas the 1.2 is made in France by Renault?

Anyone knows why the signal for 2.0l is on the right and 1.2 on the left? Thanks

Still getting used to this week old car. I think something wrong with turbo. When the turbo is working, the accelerator feels light. Powerloss when your wheels are turned. When turbo fails, accelerator feels heavy but can accelerate from 0 speed when wheels are turned. Got to reset past driving skills. Feedback to TC, havent went down to check, they said if turbo spoil, the whole car cannot move or there will be warning light. True?

ppls comment Vezel is an upsize B&B car Jazz for new driver. Is QQ the same?

I think you should go with the car that you really like. I was eyeing the blue vezel since it was released but end up booking the qashqai after sitting in the car at the showroom. My wife likes the seat and she says the seat with the lumbar support feels really good.

Bro this one i have to agree with you. I suspect some might be from PI trying to stir this thread. Anyway, I just go with the car I like.

Just to check, when you are turning, is the rpm below 1750 rpm? If yes, then likely you are driving with the power of a 1.2 litre car. Once the turbo kicks in after 1750rpm, the torque will increase and it will feel more like a 1.6 litre car. Drove a turbo car before so I guess this should more or less be the same.

This is a known feature. When turning like u-turns, u can't accelerate so as to maintain stability. Can only accelerate when wheel is straight.

Nissan cars used to be pretty reliable in general.

After reading the pages on problems faced by Qashqai owners, I wonder if it could be due to the Renault engine used in the Qashqai?

�

I've problems like powerloss, HU hang on me twice, knocking sounds below engines or suspension...All these had been rectified after all its 5 years warrant. I still enjoy my ride.

There maybe some vezel or other make SE in this thread making negative comments. It is a jungle out there, fittest survives. It's all depend on luck and I believe some owner here has no problems at all. Cheers!

RPM went past 2000 but the car is not moving. Close encounter with on coming car yesterday which freaked me out. Was moving off with my wheels turned. Now have to always remember to straighten wheels before turning. Previous car was a 1.8. So no such problem associated with turbo. Guess will have to let the car run in first before sending for check. Btw, is there any button, which i may have touched, that turned off the turbo?

So after they fixed the powerloss issue, still can't move off with the wheels turned? But at times, when my accelerator feels heavy, i can move off with wheels turned. Strange... think my turbo failed, cos i don't feel the kind of power I had during the first 2 days after collecting the ride.

Cannot be so bad that without the turbo assistance, ie. turbo spoilt, the N.A 75 horses (assuming Nissan Note N.A 1.2 engine of 75 bhp) cannot move the 1285kg body. Should still be able to move, perhaps slower pick up.

I don't think there is such a feature to turn off the turbo - why would anyone want to turn off the turbo? �

�

It' s not like this is a 2000cc engine with turbo, whereby the engine can still function normally or manage without the turbo.�

this tok kong feature only available in QQ - cannot accelerate when wheel is not straight?

This is a known feature. When turning like u-turns, u can't accelerate so as to maintain stability. Can only accelerate when wheel is straight.

Have been driving my 1.2QQ for past 3 months. This is my experience

1. using the ECO mode will slow down the pick up of car from stationary. Even on expressway, it will take a longer time to increase the speed of the vehicle. This is expected as it is ECO mode, a fuel saving mode. I activated it once to try out that's all. If I am going to drive a car, I am not particular about this slight fuel saving feature. If I want to save fuel, then don't drive.

�

2. I usually deactivate the START/STOP feature. As some bro mentioned here before, i feel this feature will stress the battery with the frequent START/STOP. In addition, if i leave the this feature on, in the morning when I drive off from the carpark, there is a loud suspension noise from the undercarriage, sounds as if my wheels are clamped and I am forrcing the car to move forward

�

3. Still trying to get use to the CVT transmission. Sometimes when I come to a cross junction without traffic lights, I will usually stow down to near 0 km/hour and when I find the junction is clear, I tend to step on the accelerator to try and pick up speed to cross the junction w/o stopping. if this happen, usually the rpm will increase from about 2000rpm to close to 3000+ rpm and w/o a proportionate increase in speed. As mentioned by some bro here, if this happens, release the accelerator and then press again. the RPM will drop. I check with my colleague who is driving the new Honda Jazz (also with CVT). He has the same rpm issue.

�

4. I was looking at the Sylphy and the QQ catalogue. When I went down to the showroom, I was impressed by the 1.2QQ - the shape and the interior and book the QQ straightway after test drive. I have driven 6 previous sedans, I want a change and drive a Crossover. Also the slightly raised QQ platform enable me to get in and out of the car without straining my lower back muscles.

�

Extremely nice car to drive, especially after the first 1,000 km run in and servicing.
