2010 Nissan cube 4dr Hatch
122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD
| 78000 mi | We have two cubes and noticed the 2010's steering is heavier than our 2014's. Was concerned about wear in lower steering U-joint some owners have reported in forums. Dealer tested steering weight and determined it fell within factory spec. |
| 26300 mi US $78 |
After the steering wheel was replaced under warranty, I had to pay for a front end alignment because the dealer didn't correctly align the steering wheel to orient properly when driving car straight ahead. |
| 77300 mi US $641 |
Cube (intelligent key) would not start from parked position. Accessory start wouldn't work either. Internal steering lock failure. Dealer replaced steering lock to repair. Part# 48700-1FA0C "LOCK STEERING" at $343. |
| 74400 mi C $2000 |
Front Wheel bearing broken |
| 55000 mi | Oil change. Mechanic also said struts are wearing and will need to be replaced in the next year or so. |
| 57040 mi | The upper strut mount bearing were sticking, making a clicking noise when turning. Both sides were replaced under warranty. |
| 106020 mi | Unknown clunk sound when pulling away from a stop. Mechanic able to replicate problem but unable to locate source. No cost. |
| 38440 mi | Stabilizer links had worn out causing the front end to rattle over bumps. |
| 29000 mi | Clunk felt in steering when taking very low speed turns, e.g., while parking. Dealer replaced u-joint under warranty. No more clunking. However, steering wheel is now off-center. U joint had been replaced during previous visit, and steering wheel ended up being off-center. Dealer adjusted steering wheel during this visit. |
2009 Nissan cube 4dr Hatch
122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD
| 76700 mi US $1300 |
Replaced all four wheel bearings. Suspect this was the result of a poor quality grease job from running over a parking lot island in the summer 2012. |
| 113590 mi US $1172 |
Car rode rough and windshield was cracked from a rock (and the crack spread after pressure was put on it). These items failed on inspection. The L/FT Lower Control Arm was replaced. All four tires were replaced. |
| 24000 mi | Clanking noise at low speed from underneath--tightening bolts reduced problem, but didn't eliminate it. Dealer then replaced front struts under warranty. |
| 30600 mi US $400 |
Mechanic noticed noises coming from front suspension--replaced various bits and pieces under warranty. |
| 17000 mi | Knocking on right hand turns, coming from underneath. Fixed under warrantee when I had regular benchmark service. |

the left front wheel bearing and wheel hub assy were replaced |
