Wow! That's fantastic. Congratulations on the sweet milestone! I'm sure it had given you great memories. This gives me lot of confidence in my own Magnite CVT.

How have the suspension components held up? Any problems with steering system?

The reason for this question is that I am coming from an Alto K10 and it has notoriously poor longevity for suspension and steering rack. My Alto K10 ran just 75,000 Km in 10 years and yet I've had to change all 4 struts twice and the entire steering assembly once! Either the service personnel had scammed me and suggested the change very early or it really does have poor quality shock absorbers front and back.

Also, other than regular service, did you have to get any engine components replaced? Did the service center folk, change the spark plugs or timing belts/chains or any other important engine components?

Did you face any issues with Engine Mounts?
This was another item that was replaced multiple times by Maruti service center for my Alto K10 citing vibrations. I'm just benchmarking my own experience with my old Alto K10 against the Magnite to see how well built the Magnite is.

I had noticed that the Magnite's engine shakes a lot at idling RPMs. It causes concern to me if such a large amount of shake might cause the engine mounts to wear out rather quickly.

We do not become aware of a lot of such ownership expenses unless we spend a lot of time owning and using the vehicle.

Looking forward to your detailed ownership update soon!

Is there a compulsory scheduled maintenance for the Magnite (Turbo CVT) at 15k kms?

The only item I can see is that they will clean the engine filter - which I can do at home myself. No checks on any fluid levels or anything else is noted in the service manual/warranty booklet for this instance (15k kms or 18 months). Will my warranty be voided if I dont get this maintenance done with the service center?

Normally I'd just call the local service centre and ask, but I dont think they are particularly competent or honest/diligent - hence asking here.

Its not the expenses that I am concerned about - I already have a gold pack that covers all this, its the hassle of leaving the car in the service centre for 2 days.

Long story short, I have 2 questions:
1. Will my warranty be voided if I dont get the 15k kms air filter cleaning checked/logged with the service center?
2. If I have a maintenance pack - am I allowed to go to any other authorized Nissan
service center for free servicing under the pack?

Since you've already paid the pre paid gold plan, you might as well take it to them. All they'd do is, wheel alignment and balancing probably. Their scheduled maintenance bullitin does not even include the 15k service.

I do not think your warranty will be void if you don't visit for the 15k service. However there's no harm in visiting once. Just ensure that you don't pay for anything unnecessary (the service center folk are very good at convincing us to buy stuff we don't need)

And you're indeed allowed to go to any authorised service center near you. Your gold maintenance plan details are on Nissan's internal systems for all service centers to see.

I personally do not like leaving the car with the service center. I've heard enough stories of joy rides, mishandling and downright scummy behaviour to leave my vehicle in their hands without supervision. And this goes for almost all manufacturers.

As for the engine filter cleaning, it's nothing but dusting off the filter and placing it back again. You can do it in less than 30 seconds. I don't know what Nissan is playing at with that statement of cleaning the filter. I'd rather get it replaced. It costs only Rs. 500. And turbo engines need to be clean for optimal functioning.

I have built a habit of checking all fluid levels before any trip longer than 200km. And usually every month or when inflating the tyres with a car Tyre inflator. It's the easiest way to ensure things are going to be in proper condition during the trip.

I usually check the following.
1. Engine oil level and color. I have to take pictures of fresh engine oil against tissue paper and compare. It is usually exactly at half point between the two holes on the dip stick.
2. Engine Coolant level. Very easy to just look at the coolant reservoir level.
3. Brake fluid level. Again just looking at the reservoir.
4. Wiper washer fluid. (I generally top it up once it goes empty. I have cans of distilled water and sachets of ecstar windshield washer fluid concentrate)

The only fluid i can't check if the CVT fluid. I had originally intended to get the CVT fluid changed in my first service, but the service center advisor wasn't too keen and he didn't have the CVT fluid filter and strainer assembly parts available. He asked to me reach out a week before the next service so that he can keep them ordered. Although he says it's not required at all since the CVT fluid is good for 1 lakh km. I absolutely do not trust this. So I'll probably get it replaced at 15k service for my CVT. It would be coming up in December 2024 for me. I will keep this thread posted on the experience.

I bought a Nissan Magnite CVT Red edition in October 2022. By Aug 2023, I saw that the Wireless charger failed. I reported this to the dealership (Autorelli, Chennai) and they acknowledged it. They replaced it under warranty by end of October 2023, after too many follow ups. After the replacement we noticed that the charging is too slow. By January 2024 we went back to the dealership to report this problem. They kept on saying they will send a person to check, but it never happened. Finally I took it to their service center to get it checked in July 2024. They didn't do anything and asked me to share the photos and videos with time stamps that justify the charging issue, which we did. After a number of follow ups they updated in Aug 2024 that this will not be covered under warranty as the warranty is void now. Once we explained the whole ordeal of this that started in Aug 2023 under warranty, they said they will get back. But now they don't even pick up our phone calls. How do I escalate this matter? Is there any email-id of higher ups in Nissan that I can write to?

Tweet/X should come to your resume.
Try to escalate the same and hopefully, you will get something.

It's possible that the replacement unit that was installed wasn't done properly. Perhaps check the connecting wire and see if it's plugged in properly. The service center folk never do a proper installation of these showroom accessories. I've read reports of them ruining the car door's internal plastic sheeting (that prevents water from entering the wiring harness within the door) which led to a huge increase in rattles. This is when they were installing the Bose Speaker System. I wouldn't let the service center folk touch my car for electrical issues. They're not educated or sensitive to these components which are already fragile to begin with.

And if it turns out that the charger itself is bad, you can test it separately. If you have a 12V battery (from your inverter) you can bring it into your house and test it for yourself (making sure you have a fuse in line with the battery).

I know you'd want this fixed from service center, but we're in a time where we can't expect professional services from any company (let alone Nissan). Try and get them to demonstrate with another replacement unit and document it to show that your unit is faulty.

I have a XV PRE CVT bought in Feb 2021. As the car was among the initial lots, there have been lot of teething issues with the car - rattling being the most annoying one. Off late the poor quality of the parts started showing up.

The car was given to Pinnacle Nissan Thrissur on 6th August to rectify the complaints mentioned at the end of this. I had give a print out of that to the SA while leaving the car with him. They returned my car on 8th August saying all the complaints were addressed and rectified except point no 1, 5 & 6.

The SA said he has raised the order for the following parts - power window motor, inner door handle and gear lever boot clip and once the part arrives, he will inform me. I haven't got a call from them till now - in fact I had called them once last week and then today and they promised me to call me back with the status, but no one called.

I don't know why it is taking so much time to get the parts. I have been using the car with the driver side window that cannot be operated for more than 2 months now. Even the broken inner door handle is sharp and hurts the hand while using it. I came to know from Magnite owners groups that many owners are facing power window issues and there are people who are waiting for more than 4 months to get the power window motor replaced. There are many who had broken inner door handles as well.

Regarding rattling issues, I was told that the dashboard is removed and they have fixed the rattling issue and I was charged 1699.20 (including GST) for the job. Initially there was no rattling sound from the dashboard, but since last week there have been vibration sounds from the dashboard as well as the driver side door.

It is very unfortunate to know that the quality of parts used is not that good. Earlier I had the stabilizer bar & rear wheel bearing replaced under 15K Kms. The car is mostly used in city roads / highways.


Complaints that I mentioned while giving the car at Service Centre
1. Driver side power window stopped working – Repeating issue. Repaired once, this is the second instance.
2. Ticking sound from front when the wheel comes back after a full turn – Repeating issue. Repaired once, this is the second instance. The stabilizer bar was changed during the first occurrence of the complaint.
3. Sound from underbody. Repeating issue. Have complained multiple times about this and problem not resolved yet. Last time I was told that the issue is with some part of the silencer, and something was done, but sound returned soon.
4. Rattling sound from front right side – dashboard/ door pad. Repeating issue. Earlier the door pad was removed and reset (I was told this), but problem persists.
5. A piece from the driver side inside door handle broke and flew off just like that.
6. Gear lever boot has come off.
7. Entire vehicle shivers on bad roads/ roads with soling.
8. Need to check the brake pads.

I am not a Nissan fanboy. I do not own a Magnite. Now with disclaimers out of the way, I find the value proposition post 2024 face-lift all the more remarkable.

Base model at 5.99 Lac offers 6 air bags. 4 star crash rating.

OK 3 pot refinement & NVH may be an issue. After sales am.not sure.

CSUV segment is one of the most competitive. Hats off to the Nissan Team. While quality remains an issue this is a wonderful offering sweetened further with the new face-lift.

Hi All,

Today morning (to my absolute horror) I found my front left tire completely deflated. The tire was basically flat against the parking surface!

Yesterday I had gone to a nearby foam wash place and after the wash, while returning, I saw the dashboard had thrown the "check tire pressure error" for rear left tire. I immediately stopped and checked the rear tire's pressure and found it exactly 36.4 PSI (using etenwolf calibrated tire pressure gauge). I thought that the pressure water washing must've fouled up the ABS sensor and so the computer is reading it wrongly. I didn't think much of it and decided that I'd check it out today after the water would have dried off.

But today, when I saw the front left tyre completely deflated, I thought, perhaps the deflation warning system had wrongly identified the issue as rear tire instead of the front tire. Has anyone faced this issue before?

Incidentally, about 10 months ago, that rear right tire had indeed had a puncture and the computer correctly identified that deflation. But it was a slow leak and was identified and fixed immediately and it hasn't leaked since. And since that time, I've rotated my tires twice so I don't even remember where that originally punctured tire sits now!

Anyway, I immediately re-inflated my tire with the tire inflator and plugged the puncture after removing the nail. There was a 3 inch nail deeply embedded in the middle of the tread with its head inside the tire and the pointy end facing out!

It was a very back breaking task removing the tire and removing the nail with pliers and thereafter inserting the plug. The insertion tool bent multiple times and I had to restra But I think I did a decent job because it hasn't leaked since I plugged it.

I took 2 long drives and the pressure is holding. The computer hasn't thrown any errors now. All errors cleared automatically.

Now, the lingering questions I have from this experience are;

1. Would there have been any lasting damage to the tire's side wall or the alloy rim from the car sitting on the fully deflated tire (basically, the rim touching the tire - which was touching the parking surface!)
2. How exactly does the deflation warning system calculate if there's a deflation? I thought that the computer reads the ABS sensors inputs and sees if there's abnormal rotation speed on a single tire against all the others and it throws error for that specific tyre. In my case, the error should have been for the front left tire because it had puncture so it would have had more traction due to reduced pressure and would probably be rotating slower. But the computer threw the error for rear left tire. Did anyone face this issue ever before?

Dont worry about it. Your alloys will be fine. A gradual deflation of the tyre in a standing car will not damage the alloys (though driving it in that condition eventually will - say in a matter of maybe 100-500 metres or earlier if you hit rocks/potholes, I suppose...)

The ABS system you refer to is called the indirect method. Its less accurate/reliable and is currently seen in India only seen in the VW group cars AFAIK.

Magnite uses a more accurate (and now more common) type of TPMS - that uses actual air pressure as measured by a battery powered sensor sitting under the air-filling valve/stem of each tyre.

About the wrong identification of the tyre, but I think its probably because of tyre rotation. and the service center missing out on updating the TPMS in the process (because maybe its time consuming?)

So I pick up the manual and start looking into it and guess what: In page 8-29 of the Magnite's user manual, Nissan recommends tyre rotation such that the front left tyre goes to back-left (and back left to front right, front right to back-right and back-right to front-left - like an X shape) so it matches well with your observations.

And the manual also says that they are supposed to reset the TPMS tyre locations too. So my bet is that the service center folks forgot/didn't.

If Magnite is using actual TPMS sensor inside the tyre behind the valve stem, wouldn't it have been easier to just display the actual pressure reading instead of displaying "OK" pressure reading from the tyres!.

I was pretty sure that Magnite was just using the indirect method of measuring. But after reading about it in manual again, it does clearly mention about the TPMS sensor being present. I wonder why they didn't put a sensor that actually measures numbers instead of just measuring a threshold value!

Thanks for the explanation. That clearly explains why the readings were for rear tyre!

And now I have to visit the service center again and get those reset. Isn't there a way for us to do it ourselves?? I do not trust those guys to do the wheel alignment because they messed it up the first time during the 1 year service, so I had to visit my trusted tyre guy and he fixed it perfectly. And while my tyre guy did the alignment, he also rotated the wheels because they had been rotated at 6000Km once. The service center folk couldn't do the alignment properly even after trying 2 times with 2 test drives and I had to walk away disappointed for having a messed up steering centering.

Essentially my wheels were first rotated at 6000km by my tyre guy, then at 8156 km by service center folk and again at 10,000km by my tyre guy. So it stands to reason that my front tyre ended up in the rear.

Finally upgraded the audio setup in my Magnite! Since no one has posted about an audio upgrade in this forum yet, this might be the first one.

Here’s my setup:

1. Focal K2 Power 165 KR
2. ALPINE MRX-F65 1300W 4-Channel Amp (saved from my previous car)
3. Alpine Monoblock Amp (also saved from my previous car)
4. Blaupunkt and Scosche cables

I'll share more details in the appropriate section later.

Update 1:
After mailing a complaint to customer care marking CC to the Nissan Kerala Service Head, the service head of the ASS called me and the next day (26th Sep) the car was picked up from my house. The parts that never arrived reached the dealership all of a sudden and they replaced the power window motor and the inner door handle. The car was returned on the next day (27th Sep) evening. The service advisor told me that all complaints are taken care of except the gear lever boot. He said they have ordered the part and it will arrive within 2 weeks and after that they would pick the car and replace the part. Regarding the dashboard rattling noise, he said they have removed the dashboard and installed padding.

Results: Dashboard noise returned after a week. They promised me that the part will arrive within 2 weeks; now 50 Days passed and I haven't got any call from Nissan Dealership till 14th November.


Update 2:
My previous post was given as News in Team-BHP on 14th November and Nissan folks have noticed it. I got a call from the Customer Service team of the dealership yesterday the 14th of Novemeber, and she said the call is regarding the issue posted in social media. I wasn't aware of the Team-BHP news then. I said I haven't posted anything recently, but I was about to make another complaint and explained the issues. Later the service head called and he said he will look into the issue. Today they called again and checked if I am available tomorrow for a test drive with the technical team. I asked them to scheduled the inspection on Tuesday.

I am facing an issue with wheel alignment and the car has done 7000 KM so far. front tires inner sides were completely worn off and it started showing the steel wires from inside. They aligned and balanced the wheel while we went for the 5K service. and upon reporting the issue at 7K they did the balancing again and said it was off. while i checked with a friend of mine who was a service technician, he said there was a problem with the 5K service report and it was not fixed at that time itself from the reports. and the same is there now as well. The service center is saying they can do a tire replacement at 5K per tire now. and it should be at my cost. Escalated to the customer care email and they just passed the email to the service center and I need to follow up with the service center again. Did anyone else face such an issue with the wheel alignment of Magnite?
