2009 NISSAN CUBE Complaints

THE ELECTRONIC STEERING WHEEL LOCK FAILED CAR WONT START . THE PART WAS REPLACED IN JULY 2011 ON A RECALL THE NEW PART FAILED IN JUNE 2014 NISSAN WOULD NOT REPLACE A 2ED TIME UNDER RECALL, WITH MUCH BEGGING THEY PAID FOR PART I PAID FOR LABOR. THIS LEFT MY WIFE STRANDED IN A LESS THAN IDEAL SPOT NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS SAME PART ON 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA BUT NOT ON CUBE. *JS

I PURCHASED A 2009 NISSAN CUBE KROM IN NOVEMBER OF 2013. UPON RECEIPT, I NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE TIRES KEPT GOING LOW ON AIR. SO THE SHOP INFLATED THE TIRE AND I THOUGHT IT WAS RESOLVED. 2 WEEKS LATER, THE SAME TIRE WAS LOW ON AIR. I PUT AIR IN IT AGAIN AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE PRESSURE SENSOR LOOKED INTO AND SEE IT THAT WAS AN ISSUE. THEY ASSURED ME THAT WASN'T THE ISSUE. FOR THE NEXT 3 MONTHS, I WAS PUTTING AIR IN THE TIRE ON A WEEKLY, AND NEARLY DAILY BASIS. I EVENTUALLY DIDN'T DRIVE IT EXCEPT FOR 400 MILES TOTAL IN THAT TIME AS I FELT IT WAS UNSAFE AND ALSO TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER ON 2 OTHER OCCASIONS. EACH TIME, I SPECIFICALLY STATED TO LOOK OVER THE PRESSURE SENSOR. EACH TIME, THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. WELL, IN MARCH 2014, I TOOK THE CAR TO MY OWN MECHANIC. WHEN HE RAN TESTS, HE FOUND THAT THE PRESSURE SENSOR WAS FAULTY AND DEFECTED AND CAUSING A LEAK THROUGH THE STEM. UPON GETTING THAT INFORMATION, I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND FINALLY GOT THEM TO AGREE TO REPAIR THE SENSOR. FAST FORWARD TO MAY 2014, I NOW HAVE 2 OTHER SENSORS THAT ARE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING DUE TO THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I DID A QUICK SEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER DRIVERS THAT HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUES I AM HAVING. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP AS THIS IS CAUSING AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION AND NISSAN NEEDS TO MAKE THE REPAIRS FREE OF CHARGE TO CUSTOMERS. *TR

THE REAR DOOR ON THE 2009 NISSAN CUBE DOES NOT OPEN. I FILED A REPORT WITH NISSAN WHO ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND THEN FILE A CLAIM, AS THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALER, GRUBBS NISSAN INSPECTED THE VEHICLE ON APRIL-11-2014, AND FOUND A DEFECTIVE LATCHING MECHANISM WHICH NEEDS REPAIR AT A TOTAL COST OF $392. THEY ALSO OPINED THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. NISSAN HOWEVER REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS, SAYING THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY DID NOT ACCEPT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS OPINED BY THE DEALER. THEY ALSO DO NOT ACCEPT SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS NISSAN MODEL THAT APPEAR ON PUBLICLY AVAILABLE SEARCH ENGINES. *TR

WHEN ON THE INTERSTATE AFTER ABOUT TWO HOURS MY VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. WHEN I PRESS THE GAS THE RPM'S GO UP BUT THE VEHICLE DOES NOTHING. IF I PULL OFF THE ROAD FOR A FEW MINUTES IT IS FINE FOR A LITTLE LONGER BUT WILL REOCCURS IN FREQUENCY DEPENDING ON THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE. MY VEHICLE HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION WHICH HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE IN JULY/AUGUST OF 2013. THE NEW TRANSMISSION HAS THE SAME ISSUE AND I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE SHOP TWICE NOW IS NOT FIXED. *TR

ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK (ESCL) FAILED, THE CAR WAS TOTALLY IMMOBILIZED, WAS NOT RESPONDING TO KEYLESS START, STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED. THE PROBLEM WITH ESCL LOCK IS KNOWN TO NISSAN, IT ISSUED A RECALL AND EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE PART FOR OTHER CAR MODELS. I'M WORRYING WHETHER THIS CAN HAPPEN WHILE CAR IS MOVING.

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER IT WAS WORKING PROPERLY, BUT ONCE PARKED AND OFF TRIED TO TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND IT WOULD NOT START. IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ESCL WHICH WAS PART OF THE MANUFACTURING IRREGULARITY, WHICH WAS CONFIRMED BY NISSAN DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER, AND WILL NOT FIX UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

A RECALL NOTICE OF LEAKING VALVE STEMS ON 2009 NISSAN CUBE WAS PERFORMED IN 2010, NOW THE PROBLEM HAS REGENERATED , STILL LEAKING VALVE STEM, CAUSING TIRE TO LOSE PRESSURE WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING FLAT TIRES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN CUBE. THE CONTACT STATED HIS DAUGHTER WAS STRANDED WHEN THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING LOCK MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,700. UPDATED 01/23/14

I BOUGHT MY NISSAN CUBE IN 2010 (USED WITH ABOUT 23,000 MILES). I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE AIR CONDITION MAKING A FAN NOISE, SLOWING DOWN, GOING FASTER THEN CUTTING OFF. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NORMAL BOR THE A/C TO DO THAT, BUT NOW I BELIEVE IT IS REALLY GOING TO DIE OUT. I HAVE ALSO BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY CUBE WHERE YOU PRESS ON THE GAS AND THE CAR IS GOING ANYWHERE, THEN IN A COUPLE OF SECONDS THE TIRES KIND OF STUTTER ALONG AND I'M ON MY WAY. THIS HAPPENS ALOT. I BOUGHT NEW TIRES BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT, BUT IT STILL DOES IT.I ALSO HAVE THAT STUPID TIRE LIGHT COMING ON A LOT AND THEN MY NEW TIRES ARE DEFLATING FOR NO REASON. TOOK IT BACK TO THE TIRE SHOP WHERE THE CHECKED ALL THE PRESSURES IN MY TIRES, 1 WAS VERY LOW AND TURNED OFF LIGHT ON MY DASH. THIS VEHICLE IS TOO WIDE, SCARES THE HECK OUT OF ME WHEN I HAVE TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT ONLY BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD IS TOO WIDE AND YOU HAVE TO SCOOT WAY UP OR WAY BACK TO MAKE SURE WHEN YOU TURN THAT YOU CAN SEE WHERE YOU ARE GOING. YOU NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I TOLD THE GUY AT NISSAN WHAT WAS WRONG, THEY COULD NEVER FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. NOW I HAVE HAD IT THREE YEARS AND ALL THE PROBLEMS ARE WORSE. I THINK THIS CAR WAS JINX WHEN I BROUGHT, AND I WASN'T EVEN THE VEHICLE I WANTED TO BUY, BUT THE SALESPERSON AND FINANCIAL PERSON KEPT PUSHING FOR ME TO GET THIS VEHICLE, AND AS A SINGLE MOM AND A PERSON THAT NEEDED A VEHICLE VERY BADLY, I TOOK THE BAIT AND BOUGHT THE CAR. I'M LOOKING FOR SOMETHING BETTER NOW AND I HOPE I DON'T GET RIPPED OFF AGAIN. *TR

I HAVE A 2009 NISSAN CUBE WHICH HAD A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A MALFUNCTIONING BRAKE LAMP SWITCH WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE NOT TO START. WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM I FOUND OUT THAT IT ALSO IT CAUSES THE FAILURE OF ILLUMINATION OF THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS; WHICH CAN CAUSED A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF REAR ENDED. *TR
