2009 NISSAN CUBE Complaints

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. HAVE REALLY BAD WHIPLASH AND CONTINUE TO SEE A CHIROPRACTOR EVERY 2 WEEKS. I HAVE TAKEN MY NISSAN CUBE 2009 111,000 MILES TO 3 MECHANICS. (NISSAN, MEINEKE AND PISMO AUTOMOTIVE) HAVE DOCUMENTATION AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. INCLUDING NISSAN WHEN THEY SAID THAT IT WOULD BE $260 TO DIAGNOSE I WENT TO 2 OTHER MECHANICS SHORTLY AFTER) OF WHICH, I COULDN'T GET A CLEAR ANSWER AS TO WHICH WAS GOING ON WITH MY ENGINE. 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. UPDATED 12/06/18*JB

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

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.

TAKATA RECALL: CAR WAS FINE WHEN I PARKED IT WHEN I GOT UP THE NEXT MORNING, I CRANK IT PUT IT IN REVERSE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. 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

BACK DOOR HANDLE FAILS TO UNLOCK NO KEY ACCESS TO OPEN OR FIX...KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THESE CARS. TPS SENSORS MALFUNCTION

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!!!

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.

DRIVER SIDE POWER WINDOW WILL SHATTER IF LEFT DOWN PARTLY WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR. I WAS PARKED AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE.

TAKATA RECALL. MY CUBE WILL NOT GO ANYWHERE, I PUT IT IN DRIVE PUSH GAS AND CAR WILL NOT ROLL. IT WON'T DRIVE IN ANY OF GEARS. VEHICAL DROVE MY FAMILY LAST NITE, WE WENT ON A TRIP, GOT TO DESTINATION WENT TO BED , WOKE UP TO LEAVE AND CAR WILL NOT GO ANYWHERE . STARTED THE ENGINE AND PUT CAR INTO DRIVE PUSHED ACCELERATOR AND CAR WILL NOT ROLL. WE ARE STUCK IN YOSEMITE 150 MILES FROM HOME.

THE CAR HAS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE IF I DID FULL STOP AND TRY TO MOVE THE CAR WILL TAKE ABOUT 10 SECONDS TO MOVE, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID BECAUSE THE CAR IS REBUILT TITLE THEY WON'T FIX BUT THE TRANSMISSION IS FACTORY DEFICIT AND CALLED THE CUNSOMER AFFAIR AND WILL NOT HELP ME. IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IT EVEN IF YOU TAKING A LEFT TURN IN MAY STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OTHER ROAD IT WAS IN MURFREESBORO TN AND MY JOB IS LIKE AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME
