2010 NISSAN CUBE Complaints

MY 2010 HAS DONE THIS TO ME TWICE NOW!!! I GO TO GET IN AND START IT UP. NOTHING HAPPENS. REPLACED WITH BRAND NEW BATTERY AND NOTHING HAPPENED. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. TURNS OUT THE STEERING LOCK ASSEMBLY MALFUNCTIONED. NISSAN ISSUED A SIMILAR RECALL FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUE ON ALL 2009 MODELS AS WELL AS OTHER MODELS WITH SAME DEVICE. BUT NOT 2010 MODELS AND WOULD NOT HONOR THE RECALL. IT IS NOW COSTING ME $700 TO REPAIR A FAULTY LOCK ASSEMBLY THAT THEY KNOW HAS MALFUNCTIONED IN OTHER MODELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 3MTHS THAT MY NISSAN CUBE HAS LOCKED AND NOT STARTED! CAR WON'T RECOGNIZE THE KEY. *TR

I REPORTED THIS WHEN THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. ALL THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS WILL NOT WORK, WOULD NOT OPEN WOULD NOT LOCK. SOMETIMES IT WOULD BE ONE OR TWO DOORS AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD BE ALL OF THEM. VERY UNSAFE, SOMEONE CAN GET IN THE CAR AT ANY TIME, YOU COULD BE THROWN OUT IN A ACCIDENT. AND FROM WHAT I READ ONLINE THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM THAT'S BEEN GOING A LONG TIME. IT REEDS TO BE ON A RECALL LIST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2010 NISSAN CUBE. WHILE HAVING A NAIL REMOVED FROM THE TIRE, THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIGHT ONLY BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE NAIL WAS IN THE TIRE CAUSING A LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE. THE WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED AFTER THE TIRE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT SPOKE TO THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V393000 (TIRES), BUT WAS TOLD THE 2010 MODEL YEAR WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 46,516. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN CUBE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE ERRONEOUSLY ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOOK EXCESSIVELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE ECU WAS REPROGRAMMED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30898. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

SINCE I PURCHASE MY NISSAN CUBE ON COOL MORNINGS(UNDER 60) THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL BE OFF WHEN A 110 POUND PERSON IS IN THE SEAT. AFTER LESS THAN 5 MILES OF DRIVING THE AIR BAG WILL TURN ON. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER HAS HAD THE CAR IN 3-4 TIME AND AS THERE IS NO CODE IN THE COMPUTER THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AS MOST ACCIDENTS HAPPEN CLOSE TO HOME THIS COULD BE A BIG PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN CUBE WITH TOYO TIRES, LINE SIZE P195/60/R15. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES WERE COMPLETELY WORN OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP, WHO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE DOT NUMBER WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

HORN IS NOT LOUD ENOUGH TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS OF PRESENCE. IT IS BARELY AUDIBLE. RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE THAT MAY HAVE BEEN AVOIDED WITH A LOUDER HORN. *KB

THE VEHICLE LACKS A CLEAR VISIBLE INDICATOR TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE PARKING LIGHT SETTING AND THE SETTING WHERE THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. *TR

2010 NISSAN CUBE. HORRIBLE HANDLING CONDITIONS IN WINDS OVER 25 MPH. TIRE LIGHT WOULD COME OFF AND ON. THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO COLD AND HOT WEATHER. TOOK VEHICLE IN TO ED HICKS NISSAN BECAUSE OF THE HANDLING. THEY SAID IT WAS TIRE. PUT NITROGEN IN TIRES. I HAD ALSO BEEN INFORMED THAT THEY SALE THE CARS WITH THIS SO DID NOT KNOW HOW THIS WOULD RESOLVE ISSUE. 24 HOURS LATER LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN AND STAYS ON. HAD TIRE PRESSURE CHECKED-SHOWED ALL 35. DROVE WITH THIS LIGHT ON FOR A WEEK-LIVE 60 MILES FROM DEALER WAS WAITING FOR A DAY WHEN I DROVE IN. ANYWAY-HAD A TIRE BLOW OUT BUT DID NOT EVEN KNOW IT FOR A MILE DUE TO IT BEING LEFT REAR AND COULD NOT GO BY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT. TIRE WAS SMOKING HORRIBLY. THERE ARE HORRIBLE GLARE EFFECTS ON THE WINDOWS ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. THE DASH LIGHTS REFLECT SO BAD YOU HAVE TO ROLL DOWN WINDOW TO SEE CARS IN MIRRORS. IF YOU LOOSEN YOUR GRIP AT ALL EVEN SLIGHTLY IN WIND THE CAR VEERS INTO THE OTHER LANES. DEALERS TRYING TO ACT LIKE I AM JUST BEING A FICKLE WOMAN. *TR
