2010 NISSAN CUBE Complaints

PASSENGER SIDE SCREW AND LUG NUTS BROKE HALF OFF THE TIRE. CAUSING A LOUD NOISE OF THE TIRE WOBBLING. TIRE WAS PUSHED IN AND HOLDING BY ONE SCREW AND LUG NUT. NOW THE DRIVER SIDE TIRE DID THE SAME THING. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION SAME WITH THE SECOND INCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN CUBE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A LOCATION AND PARKED. WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT START AND A FLASHING ORANGE KEY ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ALEXANDER NISSAN (10 ALEXANDER DR, MUNCY, PA 17756) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EMERGENCY SAFETY LOCK NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

AFTER A FEW YEARS OR FEW THOUSAND MILES, THE CVT TRANSMISSION MAY PARTIALLY FAIL AND IT MAY NOT BE INDICATED PROPERLY IN THE DASHBOARD. THIS RESULTS IN VEHICLE NOT GETTING ENOUGH POWER TO DRIVE. SO, VEHICLE MAY STALL IN THE ROADS OR HIGHWAYS CAUSING SAFETY ISSUES TO BOTH VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AND OTHERS IN THE ROAD/HIGHWAYS. STOPPING AND RESTARTING MAY NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. IT COULD MOVE THE VEHICLE A BIT FARTHER BUT IT MAY BE AT A VERY SLOWER SPEED THAN THE POSTED LIMITS. THE VEHICLE MAY PRODUCE A UNIQUE SOUND AT TIMES. THE INDICATION "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" COMES A FEW DAYS LATER AND IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE USER OF THE CAR MAY NOT FULLY REALIZE THE CONDITION.

POWER STEERING LOCK ASSEMBLY IS DEFECTIVE. VEHICLE HAPPENED TO BE STATIONARY AT THE TIME, LOCKS THE CAR FROM STARTING USING THE START BUTTON, CAR WONT EVEN TURN OVER, DEALER STATES PART MUST BE REPLACED. THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED BY A NTSB RECALL FOR 2009 - 2010 ALTIMAS AND ONE OTHER MODEL BUT NOT THE CUBE KROM

STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT LOCK. DASH LIGHTS COME ON, KEY IS RECOGNIZED, BUT SOMETIMES ENGINE DOES NOT START DUE TO DEAD BATTERY. FAILURE SEEMS TO BE STEERING LOCK MECHANISM IN UNLOCKED POSITION AT ALL TIMES CAUSING BATTERY TO DRAIN. BATTERY REPLACED 2 TIMES IN 9 MONTHS.ALTERNATOR CHECKS OUT GOOD. TIRED OF BEING STRANDED!!!!CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN INCIDENTS OCCUR. HAPPENING EVERY OTHER DAY FOR PAST 2 MONTHS.

REAR DOOR DOESN'T OPEN, READ MANY SIMILAR REPORTS. WHEN CARS ARE SUBMERGED INTO WATER OFTEN ESCAPING THROUGH THE TRUNK IS THE ONLY OPTION, NOT ACCEPTABLE TO HAVE A FAULTY LATCH IN ALL THE EARLIER MODELS.

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. LUCKY IT RE-ENGAGED JUST IN TIME TO AVOID BEING T-BONED. TOWED 2010 CUBE TO DEALER, DETERMINED CVT FAILED AND NEEDS NEW CVT TRANSMISSION. LEARNED CVT TRANSMISSION IS COVERED IN SERVICE CAMPAIGN BUT NISSAN STILL REFUSED TO CORRECT KNOWN ISSUE STATING IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NISSAN IS REFUSING TO AVOIDING NOTIFYING OWNERS OF THE RISK OF DRIVING A 2010 CUBE. MILEAGE IS JUST OVER 120,000 MILES. OTHER THAN THE ABRUPT TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHEN DRIVING, THE CAR IS IN GREAT CONDITION. NOT ONLY IS NISSAN SELLING CUBES THAT GO JUST OVER 120,000 THEN BREAK, THEY ARE HIDING IN THE FACT THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. NISSAN WANTS $4,500 TO FIX A SAFETY PROBLEM THEY 100% KNOW IS A BIG ISSUE.

IN 2013, MY AIRBAG LIGHT WENT OFF ALL OF A SUDDEN AFTER A FEW MILES OF DRIVING AND IT WAS RED UNTIL RECENTLY WHEN THE MECHANIC MANUALLY TURN IT OFF.

AIRBAGS INDICATOR LIGHT WILL COME ON AND OFF PERIODICALLY WHILE DRIVING HAD IT TO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS TOLD THIS IS WHAT IT DOES AND IT JUST NEEDS RESET. I WAS ALSO TOLD THEIR WAITING FOR A RECALL AND THAT WHEN INDICATOR LIGHT IS ON ,, AIRBAGS ARE NOT WORKING,,, THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING,, ONLY

WATER LEAKS INTO REAR END OF MY CAR. IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED TWICE AND CONTINUES TO LEAK HARD RAIN, CAR WASHING, SNOW, ICE, CASE LEAKING. RESULTS ARE DAMPNESS, MOLD, ODOR. CONTACTED NISSAN CORP. ONCE I FOUND OTHER OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT SAME PROBLEM WITH SAME VEHICLE. I OWN TWO OF THESE SAME CARS AND ONLY ONE HAS THIS PROBLEM.
