STEERING

2009 Cube would not start. Steering wheel locked prevented me from starting the car. Called AAA and they tried to jump start and still would not start. AAA towed my car to Capital Nissan in San Jose and they confirmed it was the Steering Lock Unit. Replaced and charged me 1363.46. After researching online there was a recall (not my Cube and I don't know why) back in 2011. I also found that "recalls never expired". I feel because this incident happened at a later time the Steering Lock Unit became defective. I've noticed the warning light on my dashboard for awhile but it was off and on and have been taking my car for maintenance over the years at Premier Nissan (now called Capitol Nissan in San Jose) and thought maybe the tech would find the problem. I feel because it was defective and recalled I shouldn't have to pay for parts and labor. Also on my Invoice they wrote down the mileage as 140000 and that is not true. My Cube has 138000.

THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRICAL STEERING CONTROL LOCK (ESCL) THAT PREVENTS THE CAR FROM BEING ABLE TO START.

Oct 22, 2018

THE STEERING LOCK COLUMN UNIT IN MY 2009 NISSAN CUBE FAILED, DISABLING THE CAR FROM STARTING, AND PUTTING ME AT RISK AS I WAS STUCK IN A LOCATION AWAY FROM MY HOME, AND UNABLE TO START MY CAR. MY CAR WAS PARKED ON A CITY STREET. I COULD UNLOCK AND LOCK THE VEHICLE, BUT I COULD NOT START THE CAR USING MY INTELLIGENT KEY. IT WAS TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN NEWPORT, RI WHERE I AM BEING CHARGED $814.00 IN PARTS AND LABOR TO REPLACE A PART THAT NISSAN HAS ACKNOWLEDGED IS FAULTY NOT ONLY IN THE CUBE, BUT ALSO IN THE ALTIMA. WHEN I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, THEY SAID THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL CAMPAIGN AND DUE TO THE AGE OF THE CAR THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WILL DO. CONSUMER AFFAIRS CASE NUMBER IS 31941337.

I COULD NOT PUSH START WITH MY KEYS IN MY POCKET LIKE I USED TO. I DO NOT HAVE THE CAR SO I WAS UNABLE TO TAKE A PICTURE IT IS BEING FIX I HOPE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 150,000.

FAULTY TRANSMISSION, DISCOLORED, BROKEN. NEEDS TO EITHER BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. AT 111,000 MILES MY CAR HAD TROUBLE STOPPING. I ALMOST GOT HIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION.

THE TRANSMISSION CVT WHICH I NOW KNOW IT IS, BECAUSE OF YOUR WEBSITE, IT WAS MAKING ALL KINDS OF WEIRD NOISES (ENGINE REVVING). JERKING TRANSMISSION, SHIFTING (SLAMMING AND HARSH WHILE BRAKING) HAVE TRANSMISSION LEAKS REPORTED AND REPORTED THAT CVT WAS NOT ONLY LEAKING, BUT BLACKENED IN COLOR. (SAW IT YESTERDAY WHILE MECHANIC SHOWED ME INSIDE OF ENGINE AND CVT. WHEN I PRESS ON GAS PEDAL IT WOULD DROP OUT OF POWER AND HESITATES ON ACCELERATION. TAKING THE LEMON TO NISSAN AGAIN. IT'S CURRENTLY AT PISMO AUTOMOTIVE, AS SOON AS MECHANIC PUTS THE ENGINE BACK TOGETHER I WILL BE TOWING MY CAR (NISSAN SAID I HAD TO TOW IT TO THEM) BUT EVEN THEN, GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM NISSAN SAYING I HAVE TO PAY BUT IT WILL BE COVERED. *DT CONSUMER STATED BRAKES DID NOT FULLY STOP.

TOWED THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY ARE SAYING IT'S THE CLUTCH IN THE TRANSMISSION. I CAN'T SEE HOW IT GO OUT OVERNIGHT SITTING CART, I'VE OWN THE CAR 1 YEAR AND 1 MONTH JUST PASSED THE WARRANTY. CARMAX MAXCARE WILL NOT COVER IT SAYS IT IS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE. I HAVE NO PICTURES OR DOCUMENTATION AT THE MOMENT THE CAR IS AT A NISSAN DEALER JUST SITTING

Sep 24, 2018

RECENTLY MY NISSAN CUBE CAME UP WITH AN ERROR CODE INDICATING A STEP MOTOR MALFUNCTION. THIS IS A COMPONENT OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION THAT TELLS THE TRANSMISSION HOW TO OPERATE. WITHOUT THIS CRITICAL COMPONENT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT BEHAVE PROPERLY. I HAVE INVOLVED IN A NUMBER OF SITUATIONS WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY STOP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR NOT ACCELERATE AFTER REDUCING SPEED CAUSING AN EXTREME HAZARD. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THESE FAILING TRANSMISSIONS AND DID IN FACT INCREASE THE WARRANTY COVERAGE AT ONE POINT. THESE ARE AN EXTREME DANGER ON THE ROAD!!!

CAR WILL NOT START. SITTING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. ELECTRONIC STEERING CONTROL LOCK DEFECT.

Dec 27, 2016

THE ELECTRONIC STEERING CONTROL LOCK MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING ME TO BE UNABLE TO START MY VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY AT THE TIME. THERE WERE NO MOVEMENTS OR SOUNDS COMING FROM THE CAR WHEN I TRIED TO START IT. ONLY THE SECURITY INDICATOR LIGHT AND THE KEY LIGHT WERE ON IN THE DASH. NO RESPONSE FROM THE CAR WHEN WE ATTEMPTED TO JUMPSTART IT. THIS ESSENTIALLY LEFT ME COMPLETELY STRANDED AND WITH LIVING OUT IN THE COUNTRY WAS VERY DIFFICULT AND EXPENSIVE TO GET THE VEHICLE TOWED INTO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT LOTS OF OTHER 2009 CUBE OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND JUST LIKE ME MANY HAVE PREVIOUSLY HAD THEIRS "FIXED" ONLY TO HAVE THE PART MALFUNCTION AGAIN AND HAVE TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET. THIS IS NO CHEAP FIX AND I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO SPEND MONEY I CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND IN ORDER TO HAVE A WORKING VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND TAKEN CARE OF BY NISSAN AS IT COULD LEAD TO SOME REALLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. I AM ALMOST ALWAYS OUT CAMPING IN RELATIVELY UNPOPULATED WILDERNESS AREAS, TYPICALLY WITHOUT CELL SERVICE AND IF THIS HAD HAPPENED THEN I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE. I REALLY HOPE THEY STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ISSUE A RECALL/REFUND FOR THE PROBLEM JUST LIKE THEY DID FOR THE ALTIMA ISSUES.

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WITHIN A 7 DAY PERIOD, AFTER A SHORT DRIVE IN COLD WEATHER, AND THEN PARKED FOR 1/2 HOUR PERIOD, THE IGNITION WOULD NOT RESPOND (I.E. START) WHEN KEY WOULD BE TURNED TO START POSITION. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO SERVICE FACILITY, WHERE NO COMMON PROBLEM COULD BE FOUND, AND IGNITION OPERATED AS EXPECTED. THIS IS THE SAME SITUATION AS REPORTED ON NHTSA REFERENCE #10040035, NISSAN TSB #NTB-11-057 FOR THIS MAKE, MODEL, YEAR, WITH THE SOLE EXCEPTION THIS CAR HAS A INTELLIGENT KEY IGNITION, AS OPPOSED TO PUSH BUTTON IGNITION FOR THE CARS COVERED UNDER THE NISSAN TSB. IN CALL TO NISSAN CONCERNING THE PROBLEM, THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THE TSB, BUT STATED THAT IT ONLY CONCERNED MODELS WITH THE PUSH BUTTON START.

THE ELECTRONIC STEERING WHEEL LOCK FAILED CAR WONT START . THE PART WAS REPLACED IN JULY 2011 ON A RECALL THE NEW PART FAILED IN JUNE 2014 NISSAN WOULD NOT REPLACE A 2ED TIME UNDER RECALL, WITH MUCH BEGGING THEY PAID FOR PART I PAID FOR LABOR. THIS LEFT MY WIFE STRANDED IN A LESS THAN IDEAL SPOT NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS SAME PART ON 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA BUT NOT ON CUBE. *JS

Jun 13, 2014

ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK (ESCL) FAILED, THE CAR WAS TOTALLY IMMOBILIZED, WAS NOT RESPONDING TO KEYLESS START, STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED. THE PROBLEM WITH ESCL LOCK IS KNOWN TO NISSAN, IT ISSUED A RECALL AND EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE PART FOR OTHER CAR MODELS. I'M WORRYING WHETHER THIS CAN HAPPEN WHILE CAR IS MOVING.

Fire: 1

THE COMMON PROBLEM OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM COMING APART AT THE FLANGE HAPPENED TO MY CAR. I WAS ON A ROAD TRIP FROM NASHVILLE, TN TO PITTSBURGH, PA WHEN THE ISSUE PRESENTED. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD NOT BE DANGEROUS TO CONTINUE HOME WITH THE ISSUE AND THAT IT WOULD JUST BE VERY LOUD. WHEN I GOT HOME I FOUND THAT THE HEAT FROM THE BROKEN EXHAUST HAD MELTED THE BACK BUMPER LEAVING IT STRINGING OUT. ALSO, THE HEAT SHIELD SEPARATING THE EXHAUST FROM THE FUEL TANK APPEARS TO NOT COVER THE AREA OF THE COMMON SEPARATION. THIS MAKES ME FEEL IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE FOR THE ROAD TRIP AND I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD REMEMBER THE ISSUE SINCE IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED OCCURRENCE BUT RATHER SOMETHING THAT AFFECTS MOST CUBE OWNERS.

May 21, 2015

WHILE DRIVING THE 09 NISSAN CUBE AT 75 MPH ON A HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN DECELERATION AND TURNED ITSELF OFF IN THE MIDST OF HEAVY SEMI TRUCK TRAFFIC. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. CAR RETURNED TO THE OWNER AND AFTER APPROXIMENTALLY FORTY MORE MILES OF DRIVING THE PROBLEM OCCURED AGAIN THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE THE OWNER WAS ABLE TO LOCATE A CELL SIGNAL AND BE TOWED OVER 150 MILES TO THE NEXT CLOSEST DEALERSHIP. THAT DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND THE VEHICLE IS NOW IN THE PROCESS OF BEING SHIPPED BACK TO THE OWNERS HOME STATE. THE TOTAL LACK OF ACCELERATION WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS HAS PUT THE OWNER AND HIS FAMILY IN FOUR SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING BREAKDOWNS ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS AND THE OWNER HAS HAD NO HELP FROM NISSAN IN DETERMINING HOW AND WHY THIS HAPPENS. EVERYTHING FROM "YOUR CAR IS NOT USE TO BEING IN THE DESERT, TO IT IS A MYSTERIOUS DRIVE BY WIRE ISSUE, TO MAYBE YOUR FUEL PUMP IS SHOT, AND YOU NEED TO USE A HIGHER OCTANE FUEL HAS BEEN THROWN OUT. THE OWNER AND SPOUSE WILL NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE UNTIL THERE IS A SOLUTION DUE THE VERY REAL POSSIBILTY THEY MAY BE KILLED IF THEY LOSE ACCELERATION AGAIN. *TR

THE BACK DOOR LATCH/LOCK DOESN'T WORK. IT PERMANENTLY LOCKED AND CAN'T BE UNLOCKED WITH KEY OR ELECTRONIC KEY FOB. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND LOCKED IN MY APARTMENT DESIGNATED SPACE. WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN THE TRUNK, IT WOULDN'T UNLOCK. MY RESEARCH ON THE CUBE OWNER'S BLOG INDICATED SEVERAL OTHERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY HAD ESTIMATES FROM DEALERS OF SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPAIR THE LOCK. NISSAN DEALERS ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. IT REQUIRES REPLACING THE ENTIRE LOCKING MECHANISM. THERE ARE A FEW INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS ON LINE OF HOW TO REPAIR THE LOCK. IT REQUIRES REMOVING BACK DOOR INSIDE OF VEHICLE.

AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE CAR TOOK OFF. *TR I WAS SO SCARED. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES. I TRIED AGAIN, I PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND SAT THERE, THAN IT INCHED ALONG AND THAN TOOK OFF AGAIN LIKE I WAS ON A ROLLER COASTER. LUCKILY I WAS A BLOCK FROM THE DEALER. SO I DROVE IT THERE ON A WING AND A PRAYER. IT TOOK ME AT LEAST 10 MINS. I HAD TO MAKE A TURN AND OTHER DRIVERS WERE GOING AROUND ME. BECAUSE MY CAR WASN'T MOVING. ALL OF A SUDDEN IT TOOK OFF AND I ALMOST BROADSIDED A CAR. YOU CAN IMAGINE THE SUGGESTIONS I GOT. THE DEALER HAD IT FOR 2 DAYS AND SAID THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH. I'M GOING TO BRING IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND SEE IF HE CAN FIND WHATS WRONG. *TR

Aug 13, 2014

PERSONAL RESEARCH WAS DONE ON THE INTERNET TO FIND HOW THIS HAPPENED ON OTHER NISSANS, THE VERSA, THE ALTIMA, AND NOW THE CUBE. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS CAN CAUSE A WRECK BECAUSE THE PARTS CAN FALL ONTO THE ROAD FROM A SPEEDING CAR, AND HIT ANOTHER CAR ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ISSUE IS WITH THE WELD, AND THE BEAD OF THE FACTORY MUFFLER BEING CONNECTED TO THE EXHAUST PIPE BY A FLANGE IT IS WELDED TO. THE FLANGE BECOMES UNWELDED TO THE PIPE BY EITHER RUST PERFORATION THROUGH SALT ON THE ROAD IN SNOW AREAS, BY A CHEAP WELD, OR INSUFFICIENT BRACING OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM COMPONENTS. IT HAS BEEN READ THAT NISSAN CANADA FIXES THESE FREE BASED ON A GOOD WILL EFFORT TO KEEP CUSTOMERS. HOWEVER, IT IS UNSEEN AND UNKNOWN IF THIS PROBLEM WILL BE ADDRESSED BY ANY RECALL IN THE USA. A SIMPLE FIX COULD BE APPLIED IF IT IS DUE TO RUST PERFORATION, PUT A SEAL OVER THE FLANGE TO KEEP SALT OUT. OR MAKE IT A ONE PIPE SYSTEM. OR BRACE IT MORE SUFFICIENTLY SO THAT IT DOESN'T FALL APART SO EASILY AS THE PRESSURE AND WEIGHT OF THE EXHAUST PIPE SYSTEM IS SUPPORTED. THEREFORE, THIS SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND OWNERS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED SO THAT THE DRIVER DOESN'T CAUSE AN UNNECESSARY WRECK IN THE SNOW, OR OTHER NORMAL OPERATION AS THE PIPE COULD FALL OFF. IN SUMMARY, THE WELD OF THE MUFFLER TO THE EXHAUST PIPE FLANGE BREAKS APART TOO EASILY AS PREVIOUSLY KNOWN IN VERSA AND NOW THE CUBE. *TR

MY 2009 NISSAN CUBE HAD A RECALL FOR THE MANUFACTURING DEFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ELECTRICAL STEERING COLUMN LOCK (ESCL). IT WENT OUT IN JANUARY 2020 AND THE NISSAN DEALER WANTS 832.00 TO REPAIR WHAT IS A NISSAN MANUFACTURING DEFECT. INVESTIGATING THIS IT WAS FOUND THAT IN JANUARY 2012, JUST BEFORE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM THE NISSAN DEALER, THE ESCL RECALL WAS FIXED AT THE MURFREESBORO DEALERSHIP. AS I WASNT THE OWNER AT THE TIME I DO NOT HAVE PAPERWORK TO SHOW THIS, ONLY THE WORD FROM THE DEALER. THE ESCL IS OBVIOUSLY STILL A PROBLEM BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID SINCE IT WAS FIXED ONCE THAT MET THE RECALL CRITERIA AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE MANUFACTURERS DEFECTIVE ESCL. THE RED LIGHT WITH THE KEY CAME ON WHEN IT WAS PARKED AT A STORE AND WOULDN'T MOVE SO IT WAS TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALER. THEY HAVE STATED THE PART IS 579.93 AND THE LABOR WILL BE 312.50. NISSAN CONSUMER HOTLINE WAS CONTACTED AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS REPAIRED BUT WOULDN'T GIVE ME A DATE/PLACE SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM TO GET THIS INFORMATION. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO STATED IT WAS DONE IN JANUARY 2012 WHEN IT WAS IN THEIR POSSESSION TO SELL ON THE LOT. SINCE IT IS A DOCUMENTED MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY AND THE DEALERSHIP SUPPOSEDLY DID THE WORK WHILE THE CAR WAS FOR SALE ON THEIR LOT (MEANING WE HAVE TO TRUST THEY ACTUALLY DID THE EXPENSIVE REPAIR), WHEN THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS WHY IS IT NOT BEING COVERED? THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM THROUGHOUT THE INTERNET OF NISSAN 2009 CUBE OWNERS WHO TO THIS DAY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ESCL AND THE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE REPAIR BILLS THAT GO WITH IT.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A DOWNTOWN PARKING GARAGE WHILE MY WIFE WAS AT WORK. SHE CAME OUT OF WORK AFTER DARK, WITH NO ACCESS BACK INTO A BANKING BUILDING, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER CALLING ME AND TRYING A COUPLE THINGS, WE CALLED OUR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND I GOT IN MY CAR TO DRIVE 45 MINUTES THERE. MY WIFE HAD TO WAIT IN THE LOCKED CAR, ALONE, UNTIL MYSELF AND THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. THIS WAS AN UNSAFE SITUATION. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALER AND FOUND OUT THE NEXT DAY THAT THE ESCL (ELECTRONIC STEERING CONTROL LOCK) HAD FAILED, WHICH PREVENTS THE CAR FROM STARTING. AFTER SPENDING $650 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, I DID SOME INVESTIGATION AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM NOT JUST ON THE NISSAN CUBE, BUT WITH ALTIMAS, MAXIMAS, 370Z AND INFINITI VEHICLES. AFTER OUR REPAIR, NISSAN HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE PART, BUT WE WERE PAST THE MILEAGE AND THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE US. THEY STILL HAVE AN OPEN SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR THE ALTIMAS AND MAXIMAS, BUT NOT THE CUBE OR OTHER AFFECTED VEHICLES. THIS IS A SEVER SAFETY CONCERN. MY WIFE WAS ALONE IN A DARK PARKING RAMP FOR ALMOST AN HOUR IN THE INNER CITY. IMAGINE IF THIS HAPPENED TO OTHERS AFTER NISSAN HAS ACKNOWLEDGED IT AS A PROBLEM, AND SOMEONE GETS MUGGED OR KILLED WHILE IN AN UNSAFE AREA AND CANT GET THEIR CAR STARTED. NISSAN SHOULD ISSUE A 100% RECALL ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES AND PROVIDE REIMBURSEMENT FOR OWNERS WHO HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR THE REPAIR.

I PURCHASED A 2009 NISSAN CUBE KROM IN NOVEMBER OF 2013. UPON RECEIPT, I NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE TIRES KEPT GOING LOW ON AIR. SO THE SHOP INFLATED THE TIRE AND I THOUGHT IT WAS RESOLVED. 2 WEEKS LATER, THE SAME TIRE WAS LOW ON AIR. I PUT AIR IN IT AGAIN AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE PRESSURE SENSOR LOOKED INTO AND SEE IT THAT WAS AN ISSUE. THEY ASSURED ME THAT WASN'T THE ISSUE. FOR THE NEXT 3 MONTHS, I WAS PUTTING AIR IN THE TIRE ON A WEEKLY, AND NEARLY DAILY BASIS. I EVENTUALLY DIDN'T DRIVE IT EXCEPT FOR 400 MILES TOTAL IN THAT TIME AS I FELT IT WAS UNSAFE AND ALSO TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER ON 2 OTHER OCCASIONS. EACH TIME, I SPECIFICALLY STATED TO LOOK OVER THE PRESSURE SENSOR. EACH TIME, THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. WELL, IN MARCH 2014, I TOOK THE CAR TO MY OWN MECHANIC. WHEN HE RAN TESTS, HE FOUND THAT THE PRESSURE SENSOR WAS FAULTY AND DEFECTED AND CAUSING A LEAK THROUGH THE STEM. UPON GETTING THAT INFORMATION, I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND FINALLY GOT THEM TO AGREE TO REPAIR THE SENSOR. FAST FORWARD TO MAY 2014, I NOW HAVE 2 OTHER SENSORS THAT ARE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING DUE TO THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I DID A QUICK SEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER DRIVERS THAT HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUES I AM HAVING. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP AS THIS IS CAUSING AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION AND NISSAN NEEDS TO MAKE THE REPAIRS FREE OF CHARGE TO CUSTOMERS. *TR

1) CHECK AIR BAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING A MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS REPAIRED. THE LIGHT IS BACK ON ALMOST A YEAR LATER AND HAS CONTINUED TO FLASH ON AND OFF. 2) TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CONTINUES TO GO ON AND OFF AND I REPLACED AND ALIGNED MY TIRES AND STILL IT CONTINUES. 3) WHEN PUTTING GAS IN MY TANK THE GAUGE IS NEVER ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP AND YET THE PUMP WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO INPUT MORE GAS. ALSO THE GAS IS NOT LASTING THE AMOUNT OF MILE IT SHOULD, AND THE READING DOES NOT SEEM ACCURATE.

STOPPING IS AT THE LAST MOMENT, THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS TO BE PUMPED TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES. THE ROTORS, BRAKE PADS AND SHOES AND NEW BRAKE FLUID HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT THE BRAKE ISSUE REMAINS.

1 complaint

THE CUBE WILL FREQUENTLY STOP WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. IT IS POSSIBLE TO PUMP THE ACCELERATOR AT THE MOMENT THIS HAPPENS AND SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WILL CATCH AND CARRY ON. IF THIS DOES NOT WORK, THE CAR MUST BE SHUT DOWN FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING A RESTART. UNFORTUNATELY ONCE THIS SITUATION HAPPENS, IT WILL VERY LIKELY RECUR SOON AFTER. IT IS MY OBSERVATION THAT THIS HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS QUITE HIGH (75 F AND ABOVE). ON COOL DAYS THE SITUATION IS NOT LIKELY TO HAPPEN UNLESS THE CAR IS DRIVEN OVER AN HOUR IN DURATION. AS ANOTHER OBSERVATION IT IS MORE LIKELY TO HAPPEN IF THE GAS GAUGE IS LESS THAN FULL. I TRIED TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM TWICE FOR MAUS NISSAN BUT IT DID NOT OCCUR. THERE WAS A ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT ON DURING BOTH THOSE ATTEMPTS INDICATING A CATALYTIC CONVERTER ERROR. SINCE THAT TIME (EARLY 2018) THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES WITHOUT ANY SERVICE ENGINE WARNING BEING ON. THE FIRST TIME THE PROBLEM OCCURRED, I TOOK THE CAR INTO NISSAN IN CHATTANOOGA. THEY SAID THERE WAS A LITTLE TOO MUCH TRANSMISSION FLUID. THEY REMOVED SOME AND I CONTINUED ON THE FLORIDA. WITHIN 10 MINUTES THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. WHILE IN FLORIDA, WE LIMIT DRIVING TO EARLY MORNINGS AND EVENINGS FOR LESS THAN 30 MINUTES AND WE MAINTAIN THE GAS TANK ON FULL.

SAME ISSUE AS THE OWNERS IN THIS THREAD WITH REGARDS TO THE ESCL. WENT TO START MY CAR AS A SNOW STORM WAS STARTING AND NO LUCK. MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE ESCL AND THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE CUBE. HOWEVER, MY PARTNER OWNS A 2009 ALTIMA AND HAD THE SAME ISSUE A MONTH AGO AND GOT IT FIXED AT NO COST. THE FACT THAT NUMEROUS 09 CUBE OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE AROUND THE SAME TIME WITH NO OFFER TO RECALL OR REIMBURSE US IS RIDICULOUS. I HAVE EMAILED CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH SCREEN SHOTS OF EVERYONE'S COMPLAINT AND REACHED OUT TO NISSAN VIA TWITTER. THEY HAVE RESPONDED AND ARE LOOKING INTO THE ISSUE NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN CUBE. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO METRO NISSAN OF MONTCLAIR (LOCATED AT 9440 AUTOPLEX ST, MONTCLAIR, CA 91763), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,000.

SIMILAR TO NHTSA ID NUMBER:10717816 AND OTHER COMPLAINTS SEEN ONLINE. EXHAUST SYSTEM COMING APART AT THE FLANGE HEAT FROM THE BROKEN EXHAUST HAD MELTED THE BACK BUMPER ALSO, THE HEAT SHIELD SEPARATING THE EXHAUST FROM THE FUEL TANK APPEARS TO NOT COVER THE AREA OF THE COMMON SEPARATION. NISSAN DEALER SAW THIS OCCUR ON MY CAR, DID NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OF THEIR FAULTY FLANGE OR CARBURETOR. IT WAS IN WARRANTY AT THAT TIME AND THEY SHOULD HAVE FIXED IT. VERY DISHONORABLE PRACTICE TO HAVE A FAULTY FLANGE CREATE ISSUES SIGNALING CARBURETOR REPLACEMENT AND CAR BUMPER MELTED AS A RESULT FROM IT. I BELIEVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY SHOULD TAKE PLACE TO FIX THIS POTENTIAL ROAD OF CUBE CATCHING FIRE HAZARD, ALTHOUGH IT IS ONLY PLASTIC.

I AM THE 2ND OWNER OF THIS CAR. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE APRIL OF 2016. THE ONLY LIGHT THAT HAS BEEN ON HAS BEEN THE TPM LIGHT. ON JULY 3RD,2016 , I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY CHILDREN WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED. IT COMPLETELY STOPPED DRIVING NO MATTER HOW HARD I WOULD PUSH ON THE GAS. WHEN I HAD TO VEHICLE INSPECTED, IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION THAT HAD FAILED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRENTY ON THIS CVT TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF PROBLEMS IT WAS HAVING. THERE WAS NO LIGHT ON OR ANYTHING TO SHOW THAT THERE HAD BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION, IT JUST SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AS I WAS DRIVING. I CONTACTED NISSAN DIRECTLY AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS IS UNSAFE BECAUSE PEOPLE DO DRIVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A BAD COLLISION ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT SUDDENLY JUST STOPPED. IN THE SAME INCIDENT, THE BACK DOOR SUDDENLY WILL NOT OPEN.

THIS CAR SINCE PURCHASE HAS HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED FOUR TIMES. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILS THE CAR COASTS TO A STOP WHICH ON THE HIGHWAY IS A DANGER AS THE CAR IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO BE HIT BY OTHER CARS. IN ADDITION WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILS THE ENGINE STOPS AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS RENDERED INOPERABLE THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE CAR IS VIA THE EMERGENCY BREAK. THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN THESE CARS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AS NISAN HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY T TEN YEARS. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED ON MY SON HE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND BARELY MADE IT TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE WITHOUT GETTING HIT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT IF THE DISABLED CAR IS HIT IT COULD CAUSE FATALITIES DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE SYSTEMS.

THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCH (COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS A NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH) WILL SOMETIMES FAIL TO MAKE PROPER ELECTRICAL CONTACT. THIS CONDITION RESULTS IN TWO OF THREE CONDITIONS. ONE CONDITION IS A FAILURE OF THE PRNDL INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD (AS OPPOSED TO THE PRNDL INDICATOR AT THE SHIFTER CONTROL) TO ILLUMINATE. THE NEXT TWO CONDITIONS ARE MUCH LESS BENIGN; THEY CAN BE MUCH MORE FRUSTRATING OR DANGEROUS. THE VERY FRUSTRATING CONDITION IS: BECAUSE THE SWITCH FAILS TO INDICATE THE SHIFTER IS IN PARK OR NEUTRAL, THE ENGINE CANNOT BE STARTED. THE VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION IS: IF BEFORE THE SWITCH FAILS TO MAINTAIN PROPER CONTACT THE ENGINE HAS ALREADY BEEN STARTED, THEN THE IDLING ENGINE (AS USUAL) IS SUFFICIENT TO GET THE VEHICLE INTO AN INTERSECTION; HOWEVER, THE ENGINE WILL DELAY ACCELERATION BY QUITE A FEW SECONDS, REGARDLESS OF THE ACCELERATOR'S POSITION, AS THE DRIVER ATTEMPTS TO GET THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. MY RECOMMENDATION FOR AN EFFICIENT RECALL IS TO RECOMMEND NISSAN DEVELOP REDUNDANCY INTO THIS SWITCH. NISSAN COULD EASILY REDESIGN THIS SWITCH TO DOUBLE (OR EVEN TRIPLE) THEN SWITCH'S SLIDING CONTACTS. DOING SO WOULD ALLOW THE MULTIPLE, IDENTICAL "POLES" AND "THROWS" TO BE CONNECTED PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER BEFORE THEY ARE ELECTRICALLY ROUTED TOWARD THE EIGHT-PIN CONNECTOR. THIS REDUNDANCY WOULD EASILY, QUICKLY, EFFICIENTLY, AND CERTAINLY REDUCE THIS INFREQUENT BUT VERY PROBLEMATIC CONDITION TO AN ISSUE WHICH OUGHT (STATISTICALLY) BECOME SO INFREQUENT IT'S NO LONGER A CONCERN. THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCH IS NISSAN PART NUMBER: SWITCH ASSY 20150227 31918-1XCOD AND IS VERY LIKELY USED ON MORE VEHICLES THAN JUST THE CUBE MODELS.

MY WIFE'S 2009 NISSAN CUBE HAS HAD INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF. IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY TO AND FROM WORK AND MOST RECENTLY IN A PARKING LOT (LUCKILY) IT LOCKED UP COMPLETELY. MOST TIMES SHE DESCRIBES IT LIKE IT IS STALLING, WHERE SHE IS ABLE TO MOVE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO. A FEW TIMES HOWEVER AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, EVERYTHING LOCKED UP. CAR WOULDN'T START, STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, BRAKE PEDAL WOULDN'T EVEN BUDGE. AFTER A MINUTE, IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. WHEN WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AND JUST ENDED UP COSTING US "DIAGNOSTIC FEES". READING THROUGH OTHER COMPLAINTS ON HERE ABOUT THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE, I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT NISSAN IS NOT AWARE OF SOMETHING OF THIS MAGNITUDE. SEARCHING THE WEB RETURNS NO TYPE OF HELP WHATSOEVER. HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO JUST ACCEPT A VEHICLE THAT RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF, THE RESULTS OF WHICH COULD BE FATAL? THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2009 NISSAN CUBE BRAND NEW IN JUNE 2010 THAT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. TO DATE THE VEHICLE HAS HAD THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS: 1. STEERING LOCK MECHANISM HAS FAILED TWICE 2. ROTORS HAD TO BE RESURFACED 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE 3. THROTTLE CHAMBER FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED 4. FAN DOESN'T WORK DURING WINTER MONTHS RENDERING THE HEATER USELESS 5. FUEL FILLER TUBE REPLACED (RECALL) 6. THE EXHAUST HAS ROTTED AND THE RESULT IS IT SEPARATING/BREAKING OFF FROM THE MUFFLER. HUMMEL NISSAN IN DES MOINES WANTS $460 TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM WITH THE MUFFLER. TOM AT THE DEALER SAID HE?S SEEN THIS PROBLEM WITH ALMOST EVERY VEHICLE MINUS THE FRONTIER. HE SAID THE WAY THE EXHAUST IS DESIGNED CAUSES MOISTURE TO BUILD UP AND ROT THE SYSTEM OUT, AND THAT I NEED TO DRIVE IT MORE. I TOLD HIM I DON?T BELIEVE A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES SHOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE EXHAUST REPLACED, ESPECIALLY AFTER HAVING VEHICLES WITH 180,000 MILES ON THEM WITH NO SUCH TROUBLE (NOT NISSAN). HE THEN TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A LOCAL SHOP BECAUSE IT WOULD BE CHEAPER TO FIX. NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE ON FACEBOOK ASKED FOR MY VIN NUMBER SO THEY ?COULD LOOK INTO THE ISSUE,? AND THEN REPLIED BACK SAYING TO WORK WITH THE LOCAL DEALER (HUMMEL NISSAN). ALL IN ALL THEY'VE BEEN COMPLETELY USELESS AND UNHELPFUL. HUMMEL NISSAN AND NISSAN COULD CARE LESS ABOUT MAKING SURE THEIR CUSTOMERS ARE HAPPY/SAFE AND CONTINUE TO BUY THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

I HAVE A 2009 NISSAN CUBE. THE CUBE WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTAINCE. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CUBE HAS A EXHAUST LEAK, WAS TOLD IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EMISSION WARRANTY. I ASKED MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ISSUE, AN WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT IS A RUST ISSUE AND NOT COVERED. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART. I AGAIN ASKED ABOUT THE EMISSION WARRANTY, WAS TOLD IT DID NOT APPLY. ACCORDING TO THE WARRANTY WHICH IS COVER UP TO 80K MILES FOR EMISSION ISSUES, BUT BECAUSE OF "RUST" IT IS NOT COVERED. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS AND I CALL THE 1 800 NUMBER AND REPORTED IT. TODAY THE NEXT DAY I WAS CONTACTED AND PERSSON SAID, OR AGREED WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I LOOKED UP COMPLAINTS AND RECALLS, THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS. THERE IS ONE IN WHICH IT REFERRS TO A "CORRODED" PART. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PART THAT IS "CORRODED" PART THAT MAY FAIL AND A PART THAT HAS RUST AND BROKEN CAUSING A EXHAUST LEEK. THEY NISSAN AND THE DEALERSHIP ARE USING A PLAY ON WORDS TO AVOID MAKING THE REPAIRS UNDER THE EMISSION WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD IT IS OKAY TO DRIVE AND POLUTE THE ENVIROMENT SINCE THEY WILL NOT COVER IT AND THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE REP FROM NISSAN HE HAD A WHOLE LOT MORE INFO ABOUT THE REPAIR THAN WAS LISTED ON MY COPY OF THE REPAIR ORDER. THERE ARE FOUR MAJOR COMPONETS OF A EXHAUST SYSTEM ON MOST CARS. THE MANIFOLD, THE DOWN PIPE, THE MID PIPE AND THE MUFFLER. THE "CORRODED PART" OR RUST CAUSED ONE THE CONECTION TO LEEK. NOW I AM BEING TOLD THAT 2 PARTS NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THE COST IS OVER 1K, WHICH I HAVE NO INFOR ON MY INVOICE OR REPAIR ORDER ABOUT. THE ONLY RECOMENDATION WAS 'EHAUST LEAK 395.00" I KNOW THAT DEALSHIPS REPLACE PARTS THAT HAVE RUST AND OR ARE CORRODED BECAUSE I WORK FOR ONE, FRAMES AND RUSTED BOLTS. HOW CAN ONE REPLACE PARTS AND THE OTHER NOT. *TR

I BOUGHT MY NISSAN CUBE IN 2010 (USED WITH ABOUT 23,000 MILES). I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE AIR CONDITION MAKING A FAN NOISE, SLOWING DOWN, GOING FASTER THEN CUTTING OFF. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NORMAL BOR THE A/C TO DO THAT, BUT NOW I BELIEVE IT IS REALLY GOING TO DIE OUT. I HAVE ALSO BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY CUBE WHERE YOU PRESS ON THE GAS AND THE CAR IS GOING ANYWHERE, THEN IN A COUPLE OF SECONDS THE TIRES KIND OF STUTTER ALONG AND I'M ON MY WAY. THIS HAPPENS ALOT. I BOUGHT NEW TIRES BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT, BUT IT STILL DOES IT.I ALSO HAVE THAT STUPID TIRE LIGHT COMING ON A LOT AND THEN MY NEW TIRES ARE DEFLATING FOR NO REASON. TOOK IT BACK TO THE TIRE SHOP WHERE THE CHECKED ALL THE PRESSURES IN MY TIRES, 1 WAS VERY LOW AND TURNED OFF LIGHT ON MY DASH. THIS VEHICLE IS TOO WIDE, SCARES THE HECK OUT OF ME WHEN I HAVE TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT ONLY BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD IS TOO WIDE AND YOU HAVE TO SCOOT WAY UP OR WAY BACK TO MAKE SURE WHEN YOU TURN THAT YOU CAN SEE WHERE YOU ARE GOING. YOU NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I TOLD THE GUY AT NISSAN WHAT WAS WRONG, THEY COULD NEVER FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. NOW I HAVE HAD IT THREE YEARS AND ALL THE PROBLEMS ARE WORSE. I THINK THIS CAR WAS JINX WHEN I BROUGHT, AND I WASN'T EVEN THE VEHICLE I WANTED TO BUY, BUT THE SALESPERSON AND FINANCIAL PERSON KEPT PUSHING FOR ME TO GET THIS VEHICLE, AND AS A SINGLE MOM AND A PERSON THAT NEEDED A VEHICLE VERY BADLY, I TOOK THE BAIT AND BOUGHT THE CAR.

THE HEAD LIGHT LENSES ON OUR NEW NISSAN CUBE WERE HAZED OVER ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE REPLACED AT NO COST. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE REPLACEMENT HEAD LIGHTS ARE WORSE THAN THE ONES REPLACED. WHEN WE PICKED UP OUR CAR I CHECKED THE LIGHTS AND THEY ARE WORSE THAN THE ONES THAT WERE REPLACED. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED NISSAN AND MADE THEM AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. SEVERAL DAYS LATER I WAS INFORMED THAT WERE NO RECALL ISSUES AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE OR CORRECT THIS ISSUE. ON MY FIRST CALL TO NISSAN I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE 3 RECALL ISSUES ON THIS VEHICLE AND THAT MY DEALER SHOULD HAVE INFORMED ME OF THESE WHEN I HAD MY FIRST SERVICE DONE. THAT NEVER HAPPENED. SO WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER THEIR SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED THAT THERE WERE INDEED 3 RECALLS & THEY HAD NOT TOLD ME AS THEY WERE WAITING ON REPLACEMENT PARTS. THESE LIGHTS ARE ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE AND WILL EFFECT THE ABILITY OF THEM TO MEET GOVERNMENT STANDARDS. IN THE PAST I WAS A STOCK HOLDER & V.P. OF OPERATIONS IN A LIGHTING MANUFACTURING COMPANY THAT MANUFACTURED HEAD LIGHTS, TAIL,LIGHTS & INTERIOR LIGHTING AND HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF THESE ISSUES AND REALIZE THAT THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR
