2009 Nissan Cube Fuel system Problems

“The common problem of the exhaust system coming apart at the flange happened to my car. I was on a road trip from nashville, tn to pittsburgh, pa when the issue presented. I was told that it would not be dangerous to continue home with the issue and that it would just be very loud. When I got home I found that the heat from the broken exhaust had melted the back bumper leaving it stringing out. Also, the heat shield separating the exhaust from the fuel tank appears to not cover the area of the common separation. …”

“I have a 2009 Nissan CUBE. The CUBE was at the dealership for maintaince. I was informed that the CUBE has a exhaust leak, was told it is not covered under the emission warranty. I asked more questions about the issue, an was told by the dealership that it is a rust issue and not covered. I was told that they do not have the part. I again asked about the emission warranty, was told it did not apply. According to the warranty which is cover up to 80k miles for emission issues, but because of rust it is not covered. I do not agree with this and I call the 1 800 number and reported it. …”

“The CUBE will frequently stop while driving at any speed. It is possible to pump the accelerator at the moment this happens and sometimes the engine will catch and carry on. If this does not work, the car must be shut down for a few minutes before attempting a restart. Unfortunately once this situation happens, it will very likely recur soon after. It is my observation that this happens most often when the ambient temperature is quite high (75 f and above). On cool days the situation is not likely to happen unless the car is driven over an hour in duration. …”

“While driving the 09 Nissan CUBE at 75 MPH on a highway the vehicle experienced sudden deceleration and turned itself off in the midst of heavy semi truck traffic. Had the vehicle towed to the local dealership who could not replicate the problem. Car returned to the owner and after approximentally forty more miles of driving the problem occured again three more times before the owner was able to locate a cell signal and be towed over 150 miles to the next closest dealership. …”

“1) check air bag light was flashing a month after I purchased the vehicle and it was repaired. The light is back on almost a year later and has continued to flash on and off. 2) tire pressure light continues to go on and off and I replaced and aligned my tires and still it continues. 3) when putting gas in my tank the gauge is never all the way to the top and yet the pump will not allow me to input more gas. Also the gas is not lasting the amount of mile it should, and the reading does not seem accurate.”
