Bought a 2012 Nissan Cube Limited edition in July. Brand new car. About a month after I bought it, I stopped at a stop sign and when I went to pull out, the gas hesitated and I had to hit the pedal again to get it to go. I was shocked when this happened but kept driving. The next day I took it to the dealership and they had someone take it out and check it but they said nothing was wrong.
Later that month it did it again. Took it back sent out another mechanic and he road tested it and it didn't react for him. Again I left driving the car. On Oct 24th I went to the store and went to pull across the street and it had this delayed acceleration and before I had time to hit the gas I was hit on the front driver side and had extreme damage done to the front of the car. It was towed to the body shop and spent 7 weeks there until fixed.
Upon getting it back, my husband drove it 3 days and decided we needed to take it to the dealership and find out what was wrong with it. I won't get in the car again. I am so afraid of it. Took it to the dealership a week and a half ago. They put it on a computer and said nothing was wrong with it. Suggested I call Nissan Consumer Affairs. I did. The car is still at the dealership. I was told by someone at Nissan Consumer Affairs that I would get a call within 24 hours from someone who would take my case and then proceed to send a team out to check out the car for the problem. It has been 8 days and no one has personally contacted me. I have no loaner car and I need a car. I am tossing the truck the only vehicle we have back and forth between my husband and myself so we can get to work.
I am sick and tired of this and thoroughly disgusted. My calls are all disregarded. Nissan stinks. They took $19,000 dollars of our money and now I have a car I won't drive. I can trade it in for about $14,000 and owe the bank the rest of the loan or I can opt to try to go back and drive it and hope I don't get hit again. Maybe killed this time. I don't understand why I should have to pay the price for something I have no control over. The car is unsafe and if it is traded or sold someone else is getting the same unsafe problem as I have. This time it might be a child that is hurt or killed. Thank God I came out ok. We are going to get our car this Friday and bring it home. We have to make a decision as to what to do next. I think we will trade it since I need a car I can safely drive. It is a shame people spend so much money on a car and get ripped off.
