STEERING
I COULDN'T START MY CAR. LIGHTS, HORN ETC. WERE WORKING. AFTER HRS. OF RESEARCH (@ HOME, ONLINE) COULDN'T RESOLVE THE PROBLEM SO HAD IT TOWED TO POUGHKEEPSIE NISSAN. DISCOVERED IT WAS THE STEERING LOCK CONTROL UNIT. I SEE THAT NISSAN HAS HAD MANY PROBLEMS & EVEN RECALLS WITH THIS. $801 AND 2 DAYS LATER GOT MY CAR BACK. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS PROBLEM AS IT SEEMS NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE.

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK USED ON CARS MANUFACTURED IN MODEL YEARS 2009-2010. THE LOCK ENGAGES AND MAKES CARS WITH PUSH-BUTTON IGNITIONS IMPOSSIBLE TO START. THERE IS A WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR THE 2009-2010 ALTIMA AND MAXIMA, BUT NO OTHER MODELS ARE COVERED, EVEN THOUGH OTHER MODELS USE THE SAME PART AND EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS PART BECAUSE IT IS CAUSED BY ABUSE OR MISUSE, BUT SIMPLY MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THERE ARE MANY RESOURCES ONLINE (FACEBOOK, YOUTUBE, WEB FORUMS) WHERE PEOPLE DRIVING MODELS OTHER THAN ALTIMA AND MAXIMA EXPERIENCE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, YET ALTIMA AND MAXIMA OWNERS GET WARRANTY EXTENSIONS AND EVERYONE ELSE GETS SADDLED WITH A $1000 REPAIR BILL. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR EVERY MODEL AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM, NOT JUST TWO MODELS. *TR

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2010 HAS DONE THIS TO ME TWICE NOW!!! I GO TO GET IN AND START IT UP. NOTHING HAPPENS. REPLACED WITH BRAND NEW BATTERY AND NOTHING HAPPENED. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. TURNS OUT THE STEERING LOCK ASSEMBLY MALFUNCTIONED. NISSAN ISSUED A SIMILAR RECALL FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUE ON ALL 2009 MODELS AS WELL AS OTHER MODELS WITH SAME DEVICE. BUT NOT 2010 MODELS AND WOULD NOT HONOR THE RECALL. IT IS NOW COSTING ME $700 TO REPAIR A FAULTY LOCK ASSEMBLY THAT THEY KNOW HAS MALFUNCTIONED IN OTHER MODELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I REPORTED THIS WHEN THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. ALL THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS WILL NOT WORK, WOULD NOT OPEN WOULD NOT LOCK. SOMETIMES IT WOULD BE ONE OR TWO DOORS AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD BE ALL OF THEM. VERY UNSAFE, SOMEONE CAN GET IN THE CAR AT ANY TIME, YOU COULD BE THROWN OUT IN A ACCIDENT. AND FROM WHAT I READ ONLINE THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM THAT'S BEEN GOING A LONG TIME. IT REEDS TO BE ON A RECALL LIST. *TR

AIR BAGS
SINCE I PURCHASE MY NISSAN CUBE ON COOL MORNINGS(UNDER 60) THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL BE OFF WHEN A 110 POUND PERSON IS IN THE SEAT. AFTER LESS THAN 5 MILES OF DRIVING THE AIR BAG WILL TURN ON. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER HAS HAD THE CAR IN 3-4 TIME AND AS THERE IS NO CODE IN THE COMPUTER THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AS MOST ACCIDENTS HAPPEN CLOSE TO HOME THIS COULD BE A BIG PROBLEM. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
2010 NISSAN CUBE. HORRIBLE HANDLING CONDITIONS IN WINDS OVER 25 MPH. TIRE LIGHT WOULD COME OFF AND ON. THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO COLD AND HOT WEATHER. TOOK VEHICLE IN TO ED HICKS NISSAN BECAUSE OF THE HANDLING. THEY SAID IT WAS TIRE. PUT NITROGEN IN TIRES. I HAD ALSO BEEN INFORMED THAT THEY SALE THE CARS WITH THIS SO DID NOT KNOW HOW THIS WOULD RESOLVE ISSUE. 24 HOURS LATER LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN AND STAYS ON. HAD TIRE PRESSURE CHECKED-SHOWED ALL 35. DROVE WITH THIS LIGHT ON FOR A WEEK-LIVE 60 MILES FROM DEALER WAS WAITING FOR A DAY WHEN I DROVE IN. ANYWAY-HAD A TIRE BLOW OUT BUT DID NOT EVEN KNOW IT FOR A MILE DUE TO IT BEING LEFT REAR AND COULD NOT GO BY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT. TIRE WAS SMOKING HORRIBLY. THERE ARE HORRIBLE GLARE EFFECTS ON THE WINDOWS ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. THE DASH LIGHTS REFLECT SO BAD YOU HAVE TO ROLL DOWN WINDOW TO SEE CARS IN MIRRORS. IF YOU LOOSEN YOUR GRIP AT ALL EVEN SLIGHTLY IN WIND THE CAR VEERS INTO THE OTHER LANES. DEALERS TRYING TO ACT LIKE I AM JUST BEING A FICKLE WOMAN. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CAR HAS A KEYLESS IGNITION, WHICH SINCE OCTOBER HAS BEEN INTERMITTENTLY NOT STARTING WITHOUT TWO OR THREE ATTEMPTS. ON THIS OCCASION. AFTER PRESSING THE BRAKE AND THE IGNITION BUTTON THREE AND FAILING TO START THE CAR, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND TURNED TO GET MY PHONE FROM THE BACK SEAT WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STARTED UP ALL BY ITSELF. ALTHOUGH THE CAR HAS BEEN HAVING START UP PROBLEMS FOR MONTHS THAT THE MECHANIC HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO DISCOVER THE REASON FOR, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE CAR ACTUALLY STARTED BY ITSELF. ADDITIONALLY ON DECEMBER 17TH, THE CAR HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN IN THE SHOP THAT DAY, AND WHILE DRIVING THAT EVENING, THE CAR BEGAN SURGING AND SHAKING AT EVERY RED LIGHT, WHILE THE BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED, AS IF IT WANTED TO CONTINUE GOING FORWARD. WE DROVE IT STRAIGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. WHILE THERE, WE ASKED ABOUT A STRANGE NOISE THAT IT MAKES ON IGNITION. THE MECHANIC TOLD US THAT NISSAN SAYS IT IS THE COMPUTER BOOTING UP. HOWEVER,WE LISTENED TO ANOTHER CUBE OF THE SAME YEAR THAT WAS ON THE LOT AND IT DOESN'T MAKE THAT NOISE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ONE NIGHT AFTER HAVING RECALL WORK DONE, AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR, AT EVERY RED LIGHT, THE CAR WOULD START SURGING FORWARD AS IF IT WANTED TO GO. AS I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE EVEN HARDER, THE CAR STARTED SHAKING. I DROVE IT STRAIGHT BACK TO THE DEALER BUT IT STOPPED DOING IT AND HASN'T DONE IT SINCE. HOWEVER, IT ALSO STARTED NOT STARTING WHEN I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE AND PUSHED THE IGNITION BUTTON. GENERALLY I HAD TO PUSH THE BUTTON, NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN, THE NEXT PUSH BROUGHT UP THE ACCESSORY LIGHTS AND THEN NEXT PUSH MADE THE CAR START. HOWEVER, SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED A DOZEN OF TIMES, THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, THE CAR WOULDN'T START AFTER FOUR TRIES AND AFTER I HAD DEPRESSED THE BRAKE AND WAS REACHING IN THE BACK SEAT TO GET MY KEYS AND PHONE AND FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM, THE CAR SUDDENLY AND ALL BY ITSELF STARTED THE MOTOR UP. THE MECHANIC RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND STILL CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THE CAR AND AM TRYING TO GET THE DEALER TO MAKE IT RIGHT. THEY WANT NISSAN TO BE INVOLVED IN HELPING THAT HAPPEN FINANCIALLY AND NISSAN IS STICKING TO LEMON LAW REGULATIONS. I REFUSE TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYMORE. *TR
