My vehicle would not start. I had to have it towed to my mechanic where his computer diagnostic found the problem to be the steering module that starts the vehicle. I had to have it replaced at my cost of $971. 00. My mechanic informed me that this same problem was prevalent in the year prior to mine and that they were being repaired by the manufacturer. I contacted the manufacturer and was told there was no campaign for my particular VIN number. I don't understand why the year prior to mine is covered but mine is not. I am the original owner of the vehicle and I have had this vehicle serviced as required through the dealership originally, then continued by my mechanic. I would like to file a complaint against this manufacturer to get reimbursed for this defect.

Car would not start. Electronic steering column lock.

The electronic steering interlock mechanism failed, on and off until it finally quit working and the car would not start as a result (the car was stationary each time the problem occurred, which happened at several locations around lexington, ky). I had it towed to a dealer, glenn Nissan, lexington, ky. Initial and follow-up repairs cost $1,053. 35. This was definitely a safety hazard in terms of potentially being stuck without transportation, and a faulty mechanism affecting the steering performance of the car. Today I learned that Nissan extended the warranty on the vehicle due to a significant number of problems experienced by their customers worldwide. My car is past the 3-year extension period (by the way, I did not receive any notice of the warranty extension). The nature of this vehicular problem demanded a recall of the vehicle, not an extension of the warranty. I am therefore registering this complaint with your agency and asking for your investigation of this case. In addition, the law firm of chimicles & tikellis, llp, is investigating a potential class action law suit against Nissan regarding the defective, unsafe electronic steering interlock installed on the 2009-2010 Nissan Cube model and two other models. I have provided information on my case to join that class action suit if it goes forward. I and all consumers need the national highway and safety administration to hold auto manufacturers accountable for selling defective, unsafe cars to the public and for failing to properly issue recalls on such vehicles. Please advise as to your intentions for taking action on this matter. Sincerely, judith antrobus.

Car will not start. Sitting on a residential street. Electronic steering control lock defect.

Vehicle was parked in a downtown parking garage while my wife was at work. She came out of work after dark, with no access back into a banking building, and the car would not start. After calling me and trying a couple things, we called our roadside assistance and I got in my car to drive 45 minutes there. My wife had to wait in the locked car, alone, until myself and the tow truck arrived. This was an unsafe situation. We had it towed to a dealer and found out the next day that the escl (electronic steering control lock) had failed, which prevents the car from starting. After spending $650 to have it repaired, I did some investigation and found that this is a very common problem not just on the Nissan Cube, but with altimas, maximas, 370z and Infiniti vehicles. After our repair, Nissan had extended the warranty on the part, but we were past the mileage and they would not reimburse us. They still have an open service campaign for the altimas and maximas, but not the Cube or other affected vehicles. This is a sever safety concern. My wife was alone in a dark parking ramp for almost an hour in the inner city. Imagine if this happened to others after Nissan has acknowledged it as a problem, and someone gets mugged or killed while in an unsafe area and cant get their car started. Nissan should issue a 100% recall on all affected vehicles and provide reimbursement for owners who have already paid for the repair.

The transmission range switch (commonly referred to as a neutral safety switch) will sometimes fail to make proper electrical contact. This condition results in two of three conditions. One condition is a failure of the prndl indicator on the dashboard (as opposed to the prndl indicator at the shifter control) to illuminate. The next two conditions are much less benign; they can be much more frustrating or dangerous. The very frustrating condition because the switch fails to indicate the shifter is in park or neutral, the engine cannot be started. The very dangerous condition if before the switch fails to maintain proper contact the engine has already been started, then the idling engine (as usual) is sufficient to get the vehicle into an intersection; however, the engine will delay acceleration by quite a few seconds, regardless of the accelerator's position, as the driver attempts to get through the intersection. My recommendation for an efficient recall is to recommend Nissan develop redundancy into this switch. Nissan could easily redesign this switch to double (or even triple) then switch's sliding contacts. Doing so would allow the multiple, identical "poles" and "throws" to be connected parallel to each other before they are electrically routed toward the eight-pin connector. This redundancy would easily, quickly, efficiently, and certainly reduce this infrequent but very problematic condition to an issue which ought (statistically) become so infrequent it's no longer a concern. The transmission range switch is Nissan part number: switch assy 20150227 31918-1xcod and is very likely used on more vehicles than just the Cube models.
