Faulty transmission, discolored, broken. Needs to either be repaired or replaced. At 111,000 miles my car had trouble stopping. I almost got hit in the middle of the intersection. Have really bad whiplash and continue to see a chiropractor every 2 weeks. I have taken my nissan cube 2009 111,000 miles to 3 mechanics. (nissan, meineke and pismo automotive) have documentation available upon request. Including nissan when they said that it would be $260 to diagnose I went to 2 other mechanics shortly after) of which, I couldn't get a clear answer as to which was going on with my engine. The transmission CVT which I now know it is, because of your website, it was making all kinds of weird noises (engine revving). Jerking transmission, shifting (slamming and harsh while braking) have transmission leaks reported and reported that CVT was not only leaking, but blackened in color. (saw it yesterday while mechanic showed me inside of engine and CVT. When I press on gas pedal it would drop out of power and hesitates on acceleration. Taking the lemon to nissan again. It's currently at pismo automotive, as soon as mechanic puts the engine back together I will be towing my car (nissan said I had to tow it to them) but even then, getting the run around from nissan saying I have to pay but it will be covered. *dt consumer stated brakes did not fully stop.

Takata recall: car was fine when I parked it when I got up the next morning, I crank it put it in reverse and the car would not move. Towed the car to the dealer and they are saying it's the clutch in the transmission. I can't see how it go out overnight sitting cart, I've own the car 1 year and 1 month just passed the warranty. Carmax maxcare will not cover it says it is a maintenance issue. I have no pictures or documentation at the moment the car is at a nissan dealer just sitting

Recently my nissan cube came up with an error code indicating a step motor malfunction. This is a component of the CVT transmission that tells the transmission how to operate. Without this critical component the vehicle does not behave properly. I have involved in a number of situations where the vehicle will suddenly stop at highway speeds or not accelerate after reducing speed causing an extreme hazard. Nissan is aware of these failing transmissions and did in fact increase the warranty coverage at one point. These are an extreme danger on the road!!!

Was driving home with my husband from the grocery store. Pulled onto highway and car stopped accelerating. Pulled over and car would rev up but not go in drive or reverse. Car was towed back home and being traded in. It's 1,000 miles over the extended warranty. They should recall these knowing the CVT is bad.

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.
