4 Body problem of the 2009 Nissan Cube

Failure Date: 07/03/2016

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.

5 Body problem of the 2011 Nissan Cube

Failure Date: 06/17/2016

While driving down the road I notice a burning smell and loud muffler/exhaust noise. When I pulled over to look under the rear of the car to inspect the muffler I saw a large whole in the rear bumper and the muffler had loosened. The muffler pointed up so that it was directly aimed at the inside of the rear bumper. This caused it to ignite and burn a hole in the rear bumper. I called Nissan corporate to file a claim and they informed me I had to pay for the repairs because they had not issued a recall for this issue. The local dealer said this is a common issue with this vehicle, and is now unsafe to drive because it could cause a larger fire and ignite the floorboard or the muffler could fall off while driving. The service manager at the dealer told me they would replace the muffler and necessary parts at my own cost or weld it back, but it would be the same parts that are known to easily defect in this manner. I have looked on the internet and found other people who have had this issue with Cube's and other Nissan's around the same years of production. Some issues appeared as early as 12,000 miles and the manufacturer covered the cost under warrant, but mine won'the since it has 70,000 miles. I have no undercarriage damage so they believe it was rusted out because of salts on the road to treat ice and snow in my region.

8 Body problem of the 2010 Nissan Cube

9 Body problem of the 2009 Nissan Cube

Failure Date: 04/01/2014

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.
