2010 NISSAN CUBE Complaints

THE CAR HAS A KEYLESS IGNITION, WHICH SINCE OCTOBER HAS BEEN INTERMITTENTLY NOT STARTING WITHOUT TWO OR THREE ATTEMPTS. ON THIS OCCASION. AFTER PRESSING THE BRAKE AND THE IGNITION BUTTON THREE AND FAILING TO START THE CAR, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND TURNED TO GET MY PHONE FROM THE BACK SEAT WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STARTED UP ALL BY ITSELF. ALTHOUGH THE CAR HAS BEEN HAVING START UP PROBLEMS FOR MONTHS THAT THE MECHANIC HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO DISCOVER THE REASON FOR, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE CAR ACTUALLY STARTED BY ITSELF. ADDITIONALLY ON DECEMBER 17TH, THE CAR HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN IN THE SHOP THAT DAY, AND WHILE DRIVING THAT EVENING, THE CAR BEGAN SURGING AND SHAKING AT EVERY RED LIGHT, WHILE THE BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED, AS IF IT WANTED TO CONTINUE GOING FORWARD. WE DROVE IT STRAIGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. WHILE THERE, WE ASKED ABOUT A STRANGE NOISE THAT IT MAKES ON IGNITION. THE MECHANIC TOLD US THAT NISSAN SAYS IT IS THE COMPUTER BOOTING UP. HOWEVER,WE LISTENED TO ANOTHER CUBE OF THE SAME YEAR THAT WAS ON THE LOT AND IT DOESN'T MAKE THAT NOISE.

ONE NIGHT AFTER HAVING RECALL WORK DONE, AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR, AT EVERY RED LIGHT, THE CAR WOULD START SURGING FORWARD AS IF IT WANTED TO GO. AS I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE EVEN HARDER, THE CAR STARTED SHAKING. I DROVE IT STRAIGHT BACK TO THE DEALER BUT IT STOPPED DOING IT AND HASN'T DONE IT SINCE. HOWEVER, IT ALSO STARTED NOT STARTING WHEN I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE AND PUSHED THE IGNITION BUTTON. GENERALLY I HAD TO PUSH THE BUTTON, NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN, THE NEXT PUSH BROUGHT UP THE ACCESSORY LIGHTS AND THEN NEXT PUSH MADE THE CAR START. HOWEVER, SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED A DOZEN OF TIMES, THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, THE CAR WOULDN'T START AFTER FOUR TRIES AND AFTER I HAD DEPRESSED THE BRAKE AND WAS REACHING IN THE BACK SEAT TO GET MY KEYS AND PHONE AND FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM, THE CAR SUDDENLY AND ALL BY ITSELF STARTED THE MOTOR UP. THE MECHANIC RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND STILL CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THE CAR AND AM TRYING TO GET THE DEALER TO MAKE IT RIGHT. THEY WANT NISSAN TO BE INVOLVED IN HELPING THAT HAPPEN FINANCIALLY AND NISSAN IS STICKING TO LEMON LAW REGULATIONS. I REFUSE TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYMORE. *TR
