Nissan cube in New York, United States
Month	Year	Odometer (in miles)	Cost	Problem/Repair Description
Jul	2009	0		First odometer entry
Sep	2009	2000	0	I had some "Service Engine Soon" light problems. Couldn't figure out the cause. "Service Engine Soon" light problems traced to a faulty charcoal canister. The pressure sensor wouldn't lock onto the canister properly. Ordered new canister. Installed new canister.
Dec	2010	26000	150	Brakes were making some noise. I thought pads may be getting worn so I had it checked out. The mechanic claimed the rear brakes had not been adjusted by the dealer, but otherwise no problems were noted. They adjusted, cleaned and lubed.
Jul	2011	35300	0	The right taillight lens developed a stress crack. The dealer replaced the lens under warranty. I noticed a clicking sound when breaking at low speeds. The dealer checked and found no serious problems but cleaned and lubed the mechanism. This eliminated the noise temporarily, but I notice it has returned a few weeks later.
Nov	2011	41000	120	Brake rotors warped. Turned to correct. Will need pads and rotors in another 10,000 to 12,000 miles. I consider this to be a design flaw though it falls under routine maintenance.
Nov	2012	60000	0	The coupling between the exhaust pipe and muffler rusted through, leaving the muffler dangling. Cost to repair was about $100. The exhaust system on the Cube is all stainless steel and is good shape except for this one small section.
