CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. LUCKY IT RE-ENGAGED JUST IN TIME TO AVOID BEING T-BONED. TOWED 2010 CUBE TO DEALER, DETERMINED CVT FAILED AND NEEDS NEW CVT TRANSMISSION. LEARNED CVT TRANSMISSION IS COVERED IN SERVICE CAMPAIGN BUT NISSAN STILL REFUSED TO CORRECT KNOWN ISSUE STATING IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NISSAN IS REFUSING TO AVOIDING NOTIFYING OWNERS OF THE RISK OF DRIVING A 2010 CUBE. MILEAGE IS JUST OVER 120,000 MILES. OTHER THAN THE ABRUPT TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHEN DRIVING, THE CAR IS IN GREAT CONDITION. NOT ONLY IS NISSAN SELLING CUBES THAT GO JUST OVER 120,000 THEN BREAK, THEY ARE HIDING IN THE FACT THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. NISSAN WANTS $4,500 TO FIX A SAFETY PROBLEM THEY 100% KNOW IS A BIG ISSUE.

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
I CHANGED THE ORIGINAL TYRES OF THE CAR AFTER 3 YEARS OF NORMAL WEAR OUT AND REPLACED THEM IN OCTOBER 2015 WITH PIRELLI CINTURAUTO P6 TYRES. I DRIVE AN AVERAGE OF 10,000 MILES PER YEAR, THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE TYRES IS THE CORRECT ONE AS SPECIFIED BY THE CAR, AND I DRIVE ON COUNTRY ROADS BUT VERY CAREFULLY. IN DECEMBER 2016 THE RIGHT FRONT TYRE SHOWED A BULGE ON ITS SIDEWALL SO I REPLACED IT IMMEDIATELY WITH ANOTHER CINTURAUTO P6. IN JANUARY 2017 THE LEFT FRONT TYRE SHOWED A SIMILAR BULGE ON ITS SIDEWALL SO I REPLACED IT IMMEDIATELY WITH ANOTHER CINTURAUTO P6. IN MAY 2017 THIS LEFT FRONT TYRE WHICH HAD BEEN REPLACED IN JANUARY 2017 SHOWED ONCE AGAIN A SIMILAR BULGE ON ITS SIDEWALL SO, ONCE AGAIN, I REPLACED IT WITH ANOTHER CINTURAUTO P6. AND NOW, IN NOVEMBER 2017 THE BACK RIGHT TYRE HAS EXPLODED, I WAS NOT AWARE IF THERE HAD BEEN A BULGE IN THE SIDEWALL OF THIS RIGHT BACK TYRE AS I WOULD HAVE REPLACED IT IMMEDIATELY IF I HAD SEEN ONE. PIRELLI BLAMES MY DRIVING AND DOES NOT OFFER ME ANY WARRANTY. I BLAME PIRELLI BECAUSE I DON'T THINK A TYRE SHOULD BE SO DELICATE AND BECAUSE I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE ORIGINAL TYRES OF THE CAR WITH A SIMILAR TYPE OF DRIVING. AS THE TYRES HAVE BEEN FAILING ONE AT A TIME I HAVE HAD TO KEEP REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE TYRES FOR THE SAME MODEL BUT THIS LAST EXPLOSION HAS SCARED ME AND I AM GOING TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TYRES WITH OTHERS THAT ARE NOT SO DELICATE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN CUBE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IT FAILED TO START WHEN PROMPTED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO START. DIRECTLY AFTER REMOVING THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO OPERATE. GERMAINE NISSAN IN COLUMBUS, OHIO WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REPLACED THE BATTERY AND IGNITION SWITCH, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PREVIOUS REPAIRS WERE NOT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE PRESSURE RELEASE VALVE WAS FAULTY AND ALLOWED WATER TO ENTER THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE FAILURE CAUSED SEVERE RUST AND CORROSION IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR PANEL. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT'S INSURANCE COMPANY SENT A MECHANIC OUT TO ASSESS THE VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AS OF FEBRUARY 2017, WHAT I LATER FOUND OUT WAS THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION, ALSO KNOWN AS, CVT TRANSMISSION, STARTED TO FAIL ON MY 2010 NISAN CUBE, WHICH HAS ONLY ONE OWNER. ON THE WAY TO WORK A LOUD WHINING NOISE CAME FROM UNDER THE HOOD. AS I WAS DRIVING ON A VERY BUSY STREET, THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE RANDOMLY WHILE IN DRIVE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD ALSO OCCASIONALLY ILLUMINATE. SEVERAL MECHANICS COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG, UNTIL I TOOK THE CUBE TO A MECHANIC THAT KNEW ABOUT THE MANY FAILURES THE NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION WAS HAVING. I WAS TOLD THEN THAT NISSAN HAD CREATED A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM TO DEAL WITH THE CVT FAILURE; OF WHICH I WAS NEVER INFORMED BY NISSAN. EVEN THOUGH I CONTINUE TO RECEIVE EMAILS AND ADS FOR THE COMPANY. THE LETTER FROM NISSAN STATES THAT THE WARRANTY ON THE CVT WILL BE EXTENDED. "FIRST TO PROVIDE YOU WITH ADDITIONAL ASSURANCE REGARDING YOUR OVERALL COST OF OWNERSHIP WE HAVE DOUBLED THE WARRANTY PERIOD FOR THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION IN YOUR NISSAN.: IT ALSO STATES "10 YEARS/120,000 MILES, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST." MY NISSAN CUBE IS CURRENTLY SEVEN YEARS OLD. I HAVE OVER 128,000 MILES. I NEVER RECEIVED A COPY OF THIS LETTER. I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN FEBRUARY 2010 AND THIS LETTER STATES THE END OF THIS REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAM ENDED 7/31/2010! WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR ME? MY CAR IS NOT 10 YEARS OLD! I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR OVER TWO MONTHS NOW. I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET. ALSO IN THIS LETTER STATES "A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF OWNERS OF EARLY MODELS EQUIPPED WITH CVTS HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT THE COST OF THE REPAIR OF TRANSMISSION AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES." DOES THIS COVER MY VEHICLE? THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA ABOUT THE CVT; THE ID #10919979 AND #10587829 AND THEIR WERE MORE LISTED HER WITH THE NHTSA. NISSAN CASE #26415319
