Common Problem

Active Braking System Faults
Several users have experienced issues with the active braking system, where it disconnects or shows error messages. This problem often involves the radar sensor behind the front grill, which may need replacement or recalibration. Some users have suggested checking fuses or disconnecting the battery as a potential fix.
Differential Failures
A significant issue reported is the failure of the differential, sometimes occurring more than once for the same vehicle. These failures can be severe, leading to internal damage that punctures the external case. While some repairs were covered under warranty or goodwill, others faced challenges due to being slightly out of warranty. The Koleos shares its platform with the Nissan X-Trail, yet this problem seems more prevalent in the Koleos.
Fuel Economy Concerns
Owners have noted concerns regarding fuel economy, with reports of higher-than-expected consumption. Some users report averages of 11 liters per 100 km in urban settings and around 9 liters on highways. Diesel models also face yearly DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) issues, although these seem to improve with regular servicing and deep cleaning.
Electronic and Mechanical Issues
There are reports of poor electronics quality, such as issues with the center storage compartment handle breaking , and the CVT gearbox being jerky at times. Additionally, some owners have experienced shaking at idle, with fluctuating RPMs and popping noises from the exhaust.
Brake System Errors Post-Battery Replacement
After battery replacements, some owners have encountered persistent brake system error messages. Solutions include using an OBD scanner to clear fault codes or allowing the car to undergo multiple engine starts to reset the system.
