The gas tank has malfunctioned and is leaking. According to the mechanic, it is the same issue related to the recall of the gas tank regarding the 2009-2010 Nissan Cube. My safety and others are put at risk because gas is leaking and causing a fire or an explosion. My mechanic confirmed the issue. At this point, the 2 Nissan dealers have not returned my phone calls. I need to get my car fixed as soon as possible. Gas is leaking from the site of failure. There were no warning lamps to signal that the gas tank was leaking gas. The only signs were the smell of gas and then discovering a puddle of gas pooling on the ground beneath my car.

THE HORN IS NOT ABLE TO BE HEARD IN TRAFFIC. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY DRIVING BEHIND MY SISTER. NEEDING TO GET HER ATTENTION AS I NOTICED SHE HAD A FLAT ON HER CAR, I WAS HONKING THE HORN ON MY CUBE. SHE DID NOT HEAR THE HORN AT ALL. IF A PERSON IN A CAR CAN NOT HEAR THE HORN I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT A SEMI TRUCK OR SUCH TYPE VEHICLE WILL BE ABLE TO HEAR MY HORN EITHER AND A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WOULD NOT BE AVOIDABLE SINCE THE HORN WOULD NOT BE HEARD. ALSO THE HANDLING OF MY CAR IN ANY WINDY CONDITION IS NOT SAFE. IF YOU ARE DRIVING FASTER THAN 30 MPH AND IT IS WINDY OR A BIG GUST OF WIND SWEEPS BY I BETTER BE HOLDING ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHT WITH BOTH HANDS. I HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY GOING 55 MPH, THE WIND HAS NOT BEEN THAT BAD BUT THE CAR HAS BEEN MOVING ALL OVER THE PLACE AND I HAVE TO HOLD ON TO THE WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS AND FEEL THAT I REALLY DON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. I HAVE A TEENAGER THAT HAS JUST STARTED DRIVING AND DO NO WAY FEEL SAFE LETTING HER TAKE THIS VEHICLE OUT. I DO NOT EVEN FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I NOTICE A BURNING SMELL AND LOUD MUFFLER/EXHAUST NOISE. WHEN I PULLED OVER TO LOOK UNDER THE REAR OF THE CAR TO INSPECT THE MUFFLER I SAW A LARGE WHOLE IN THE REAR BUMPER AND THE MUFFLER HAD LOOSENED. THE MUFFLER POINTED UP SO THAT IT WAS DIRECTLY AIMED AT THE INSIDE OF THE REAR BUMPER. THIS CAUSED IT TO IGNITE AND BURN A HOLE IN THE REAR BUMPER. I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE TO FILE A CLAIM AND THEY INFORMED ME I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS BECAUSE THEY HAD NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THE LOCAL DEALER SAID THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND IS NOW UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE A LARGER FIRE AND IGNITE THE FLOORBOARD OR THE MUFFLER COULD FALL OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY WOULD REPLACE THE MUFFLER AND NECESSARY PARTS AT MY OWN COST OR WELD IT BACK, BUT IT WOULD BE THE SAME PARTS THAT ARE KNOWN TO EASILY DEFECT IN THIS MANNER. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH CUBE'S AND OTHER NISSAN'S AROUND THE SAME YEARS OF PRODUCTION. SOME ISSUES APPEARED AS EARLY AS 12,000 MILES AND THE MANUFACTURER COVERED THE COST UNDER WARRANT, BUT MINE WON'THE SINCE IT HAS 70,000 MILES. I HAVE NO UNDERCARRIAGE DAMAGE SO THEY BELIEVE IT WAS RUSTED OUT BECAUSE OF SALTS ON THE ROAD TO TREAT ICE AND SNOW IN MY REGION.
