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.
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!!!.
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.
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.
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.
While driving at 65 mph car looses power under acceleratin and then stalls when you get below 10 mph will start back up after sitting for about 5 minutes the car is a 6 speed manuel. No lights came on in the dash this has happened 3 times now.
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.
I was trying to back out of my driveway and the car just stalled when I depressed the gas pedal. The vehicle hesitated and then suddenly accelerated. This condition was repeated several time while just driving around town in normal traffic. It is a safety hazard. If I were in the middle of an intersection and had to accelerate to avoid a crash, this type of issue could lead to disaster. This seems to be a problem that has been widely reported on the internet without any concern by Nissan.
Came to a very sudden stop to avoid a collision. Vehicle would not accelerate after this. Episode lasted about 20 seconds and then functioned properly. Has happened at least 6 more times since first incident. Always seems to happen when exiting off interstate and coming to a stop. Vehicle starts into intersection and then accelerator seems unresponsive. When this is happening the car does not rev even though accelerator is pushed to the floor repeatedly. Episode will last approx. 15-30 seconds and then seems to return to normal. Very unnerving when facing oncoming traffic. The transmission has already been replaced one time at about 75k. Never performed this way until after dealership replaced the transmission.
