2012 Nissan Cube Complaints

I OWN A 2012 NISSAN CUBE WITH 80,000 MILES ON IT. MY TEENAGER WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN IT STALLED OUT ON HER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT EVENTUALLY CAUGHT ENOUGH TO ACCELERATE AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT IS AN INTERNAL FAILURE OF SEVERAL SENSORS ON THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I HAVE READ ONLINE AT MULTIPLE SITES THAT THIS IS A LARGELY OCCURRING INCIDENT WITH NISSAN AND THESE MODELS. A TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT FAIL AT 80,000 MILES! IT IS A DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO THE DRIVER IF ON AN INTERSTATE OR OTHERWISE BUSY HIGHWAY (WE LIVE IN A METROPOLITAN CITY). THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED, AS NISSAN IS NOT OFFERING ANY WARNINGS, RECALLS OR ASSISTANCE TO THE PROBLEM.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE DURING WARM WEATHER, YOU WILL GO TO ACCERALATE TO ONLY BE MET WITH THE LOSE OF POWER AND YOUR SPEED WILL DROP FROM 70 TO 20 WITHOUT WARNING. THE DASH DOES NOT LIGHT A WARNING AND YOU MUST HIT YOUR HAZARD FLASHERS QUICKLY AND HOPE THE CARS BEHIND YOU BRAKE IN TIME. YOU THEN MUST MOVE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WITH THE VEHICLE "SPUTTERING" TO DO 20 MPH ON A ROADWAY WITH 60 PLUS MPH TRAFFIC. I HAVE SPOKEN TO NISSAN CORP., AND TWO DEALERSHIP CONCERNING THIS ISSUE WITH ALL STATING THEY DID NOT KNOW THE CAUSE. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND FROM DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE SINCE 10,000 MILES, I FEEL THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE ISSUES AND HAVE NOT PROPERLY MADE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS THE TRANSMISSION COOLER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 65 DEGREES, I DO NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES DRIVING THE SAME ROUTES AND AT THE SAME SPEEDS. WHEN THE TEMPERATURES OUTSIDE ARE IN THE UPPER 70'S I CAN DRIVE 270 MILES BEFORE THE I...

PULLED OUT FROM STOP LIGHT, ZERO POWER. ZERO ACCELERATOR RESPONSE. JUST CREEP OUT SUPER SLOW AT IDLE AND CROSS THE INTERSECTION. VERY UNSAFE. CVT SEEMED TO BE IN LIMP-HOME MODE; NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH, NO WARNING, NO VIBRATION OR OTHER FAILURE.

ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS, WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THERE WILL BE NO WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH---YOU DROP IN SPEED EVEN IF YOU HAVE THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. THIS WILL ALSO OCCUR AROUND TOWN AND WILL HAPPEN WHEN YOU TRY TO START MOVING FROM A RED LIGHT OR ENTER THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC FROM A SIDE STREET. IT IS EXTREMELY SCARY AND DANGEROUS TO BE DOING 70MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND YOU AND YOUR CAR SUDDENLY LOSES SPEED AS IF YOU HIT THE BRAKES. THE PROBLEM OCCURED TO THIS EXTREME WITH ONLY 30,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THIS AND COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. NOW AT 125,000...NISSAN CORPORATE TOLD ME TODAY THAT IT WAS A FAIL SAFE MODE TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THEY SAID THERE MAY NOT BE AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR, IT WILL ACTIVATE TO PREVENT DAMAGE. HOW IS IT SAFE TO BE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH AND SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING YOU ARE LUCKY TO BE DOING 20MPH? WHEN THE FAIL SAFE MODE HAS KICKED IN....NO ISSUE HAS BEEN FOUN...

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE ~ SAFETY ISSUE SLOW TO START ~ SAME AS 100'S OF REPORTS ON INTERNET CAR WAS AT WARRANTY END AND NISSAN SAID ONLY FIX FOR SMALL LEAK WAS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE CVT~ AS PER CURRENT PENDING CLASS ACTIONS AGAINST NISSAN FOR 2013-2017 CVTS BEING REPLACED REPEATEDLY WITH THE SAME FAILING TRANSMISSION ENDED IN REPAIR COST TO CUSTOMER. NISSAN OFFERED TO PAY FOR PARTS BUT NOT LABOR. WHY WOULD I PAY TO PUT THE SAME BAD PART ON THE CAR? WHY IS THERE NOT A CLASS ACTION FOR 2012 NISSANS? THIS CAR HAD A FUEL LEAK THAT TOOK MANY MONTHS TO REPAIR AND FIND. THEN THE A/C WAS NOT WORKING AND MECHANIC SAID IT MIGHT BE RELATED TO THE OPEN ENDED TEMP GAGE FOR OUTSIDE TEMP THAT THIS MODEL DID NOT HAVE, ONLY FIX HE HAD WAS ELECTRICAL TAPE WHICH I TOLD NISSAN WAS NOT A GOOD FIX AND HAVE WORK ORDER THROUGH NISSAN FOR THIS. A/C WAS O RING WHICH MAY RELATE BACK TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE THE WHOLE THING BASICALLY WAS SHAKING APART. SO THE DEALER FILLED THE A/C AND FAILED TO FIND ORING LEAK...
