Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)INNER FENDER FELL OFF IN PARKING LOT AND WAS RUN OVER. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DEVASTING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND COULD HAVE BEEN A HAZARD FOR OTHER DRIVERS. ALSO THE BOTTOM COVER CAME LOOSE AND WAS DRAGGING ON THE GROUND.
SIMILAR TO NHTSA ID NUMBER:10717816 AND OTHER COMPLAINTS SEEN ONLINE. EXHAUST SYSTEM COMING APART AT THE FLANGE HEAT FROM THE BROKEN EXHAUST HAD MELTED THE BACK BUMPER ALSO, THE HEAT SHIELD SEPARATING THE EXHAUST FROM THE FUEL TANK APPEARS TO NOT COVER THE AREA OF THE COMMON SEPARATION. NISSAN DEALER SAW THIS OCCUR ON MY CAR, DID NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OF THEIR FAULTY FLANGE OR CARBURETOR. IT WAS IN WARRANTY AT THAT TIME AND THEY SHOULD HAVE FIXED IT. VERY DISHONORABLE PRACTICE TO HAVE A FAULTY FLANGE CREATE ISSUES SIGNALING CARBURETOR REPLACEMENT AND CAR BUMPER MELTED AS A RESULT FROM IT. I BELIEVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY SHOULD TAKE PLACE TO FIX THIS POTENTIAL ROAD OF CUBE CATCHING FIRE HAZARD, ALTHOUGH IT IS ONLY PLASTIC.
THE REAR DOOR ON THE 2009 NISSAN CUBE DOES NOT OPEN. I FILED A REPORT WITH NISSAN WHO ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND THEN FILE A CLAIM, AS THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALER, GRUBBS NISSAN INSPECTED THE VEHICLE ON APRIL-11-2014, AND FOUND A DEFECTIVE LATCHING MECHANISM WHICH NEEDS REPAIR AT A TOTAL COST OF $392. THEY ALSO OPINED THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. NISSAN HOWEVER REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS, SAYING THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY DID NOT ACCEPT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS OPINED BY THE DEALER. THEY ALSO DO NOT ACCEPT SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS NISSAN MODEL THAT APPEAR ON PUBLICLY AVAILABLE SEARCH ENGINES. *TR
