These issues seem to arise from defects in the Headlight Assembly.
There are several ways to arrive at the decision to spend your money on a new vehicle. It may be that a necessary repair is cost-prohibitive. It might be that the cost of operation on a monthly basis is roughly equal to the payment on a new vehicle. Regardless of the basic reason, you spend the money for a new vehicle with the idea that your maintenance costs and the unknown factor of time spent getting your vehicle repaired are a thing of the past. The cost of the new vehicle and the robust warranty provided by the manufacturer are worth the cost of the vehicle. If you selected a 2019-2021 Nissan Kicks, you might be back at that dealership waiting area sooner than you anticipated.
Unfortunately, many owners are reporting that the Kicks seem to be dimming their normal brightness headlights at night, making them difficult and borderline dangerous to drive. With the warranty covering issues like this, the owners have the vehicle towed to their local Nissan dealership and explain that the headlights aren’t functioning correctly. While this is frustrating, you feel certain that the repair technicians will have the issue resolved quickly, and you will soon be back behind the wheel of your new Nissan. This, too, is not always what buyers seem to be experiencing. In some cases, they get their car back and are told the issue was fixed. But in a few days or weeks, the Kicks has again dimmed the headlights.

Lemon Law And The Importance For Consumer Protections
The California Lemon Law was originally drafted with the purpose of creating a law that would protect consumers when they purchased a device that did not work. The Lemon Law gives consumers the ability to hold manufacturers accountable for the warranties promised to customers. Many people are familiar with the Lemon Law as it relates to automobiles and continuous repair efforts made by dealerships. Many do not realize it applies to most consumer goods like homes, appliances, electronics, and much more.
For your vehicle to qualify under a lemon law claim, there are some conditions that must be met. Guardian Lemon Law can provide you with a Nissan Kicks defective low beam headlight lawyer to determine if your vehicle meets all of the conditions and requirements. If you want to know if your Nissan Kicks meets the criteria and gives you the ability to file a suit or claim, get in touch with Guardian Lemon Law. We will complete an evaluation to determine if the issue and vehicle qualify.
What Are The Qualifications For Lemon Law Claims In California?
The qualifications listed below are relatively easy to understand. The issue that can be overlooked is not the total number of times the vehicle is in for a repair. To qualify for a lemon law claim, the vehicle must have been repaired for the same exact issue, and without resolution. The foundation of lemon law says that if a repair is not successfully resolved after a reasonable effort to fix the issue, then it qualifies as eligible for consideration under lemon law. The remedy is either a buy-back or a replacement of the vehicle.
The qualifications are:
- The vehicle cannot be abused in a way that could contribute to the issue
- The vehicle is under the manufacturer’s warranty during initial and subsequent repair efforts
- You allowed the manufacturer reasonable repair attempts to correct the issue. A minimum of 2 attempts is required for all safety-related items, and 4 attempts for non-safety-related issues
- The vehicle is in the shop for the same reported issue for a total of more than 30 days
- The issue has an impact on the safety, use, or value of the vehicle
Guardian Lemon Law can help you determine the status of the vehicle and its lemon law qualification. We can also provide you with a lawyer experienced in Nissan Kicks faulty headlights lemon law cases to file a lawsuit against Nissan for selling you a lemon. The final qualifier is to verify that the Statute of Limitations has not been exceeded for your vehicle.
What Is The Time Limit To File A Lemon Law Claim?
There are two established time limits in California, and the applicable one will be the earliest of the two on your calendar. The first deadline date is set at 1 year from the expiration of the original factory warranty. The second deadline date is set at 6 years from the actual delivery date of your vehicle.
The 2019-2021 Nissan Kicks Headlight Failure Issues Owner Reports
Owners of 2019-2021 Nissan Kicks frequently report poor illumination and dim or flickering headlights. The most common issues range from failing bulbs and lenses with haze buildup to bad wiring, bad IPDM modules, and/or leaking seals that lead to water condensation and short circuits inside the assembly. The cause of the headlight failure in the majority of 2019-2021 Nissan Kicks vehicles can be attributed to the following:
- The most common factory issue is a bad seal on the headlight assembly. If water or condensation penetrates the enclosure, it can damage the LED module or create shorts, causing the unit to fail or dim periodically
- If you have a single beam going out or start to flicker, it will likely be a worn bulb (for halogen trim units) or an internal failure of the LED unit. This failure will likely end up requiring replacement
- Some Kicks models experience issues due to a failing IPDM unit. The flickering or a “Headlight System Error” due to an Intelligent Power Distribution Module isn’t common, but it cannot be ruled out
- One of the other common issues with this problem is loose wiring, corroded sockets, or a failing alternator. With anything directly electrical, this issue will deprive the headlights of proper voltage, and by extension will cause them to dim
- Sun exposure with a vehicle constantly parked outside can cause the polycarbonate lenses to turn yellow or cloudy, drastically reducing light output. This is NOT an intermittent issue, but if you are noticing it dimmer over a long period of time, this may be your issue.
