“I have a 2009 Nissan CUBE which had a serious problem and I took it in for repair. It turned out to be a malfunctioning brake lamp switch which caused the vehicle not to start. When I researched this problem I found out that it also it causes the failure of illumination of the rear brake lights; which can caused a very serious accident if rear ended.”
NHTSA complaint #10532972, filed 2013-07, 59,000 miles“The brake pedal has progressively gone lower to the floor when applying the brakes. There is a spongy feel and only engages fully at the last moment almost to the floor. Stopping is at the last moment, the brake pedal has to be pumped to engage the brakes. The rotors, brake pads and shoes and new brake fluid has been replaced but the brake issue remains.”

NHTSA complaint #10653215, filed 2014-11, 48,362 miles“This car since purchase has had the transmission replaced four times. When the transmission fails the car coasts to a stop which on the highway is a danger as the car is susceptible to be hit by other cars. In addition when the transmission fails the engine stops and the braking system is rendered inoperable the only way to stop the car is via the emergency break. The transmission failure in these cars is a known problem as nisan has extended the warranty t ten years. When the transmission failed on my son he was on the highway and barely made it to the breakdown lane without getting hit. …”
NHTSA complaint #10787096, filed 2015-10, 70,000 miles“My wife's 2009 Nissan CUBE has had intermittent issues with the vehicle shutting off. It has happened a few times in rush hour traffic on the highway to and from work and most recently in a parking lot (luckily) it locked up completely. Most times she describes it like it is stalling, where she is able to move off to the side of the road and is able to restart the car after a minute or two. A few times however after coming to a complete stop, everything locked up. Car wouldn't start, steering wheel locked, brake pedal wouldn't even budge. After a minute, it started right back up. …”
