2009 NISSAN CUBE Complaints

ENGINE WILL NOT START AFTER TURNING OFF. CAR CANNOT BE MOVED BECAUSE SHIFTER WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK AND VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. STEERING COLUMN;

INNER FENDER FELL OFF IN PARKING LOT AND WAS RUN OVER. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DEVASTING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND COULD HAVE BEEN A HAZARD FOR OTHER DRIVERS. ALSO THE BOTTOM COVER CAME LOOSE AND WAS DRAGGING ON THE GROUND.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN CUBE. WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 150,000.

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.

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

WAS DRIVING HOME WITH MY HUSBAND FROM THE GROCERY STORE. PULLED ONTO HIGHWAY AND CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. PULLED OVER AND CAR WOULD REV UP BUT NOT GO IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. CAR WAS TOWED BACK HOME AND BEING TRADED IN. IT'S 1,000 MILES OVER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY SHOULD RECALL THESE KNOWING THE CVT IS BAD. *TR

THE STEERING LOCK COLUMN IN MY 2009 NISSAN CUBE FAILED, DISABLING THE CAR FROM STARTING, AND PUTTING ME IN A SAFETY RISK AS I WAS STUCK IN A LOCATION AWAY FROM MY HOME, AND UNABLE TO START MY VEHICLE. IT WAS NOT A BATTERY ISSUE- THE LIGHTS WORKED, 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 WHERE I AM BEING CHARGED NEARLY $1,000 IN PARTS AND LABOR TO REPLACE A PART THAT NISSAN HAS ACKNOWLEDGED IS FAULTY. DESPITE AN EXPIRED EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS PLACED ON THAT PART, NISSAN HAS NO RECALL ON THE PART AND OWNERS EVERYWHERE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE.

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.

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.
