2011 Nissan Cube problems
The Nissan Cube is a mini MPV produced by carmaker Nissan between 1998 and 2019. Initially sold only in Japan, the Cube was sold in North American markets from 2009 to 2014, and in European markets from 2009 to 2011. In Japan, it was exclusive to Nissan Red Stage dealerships. It is a slightly larger load-carrying alternative to the Nissan Micra hatchback. While production for the North American market ended in 2014, the Japanese-market Cube lasted until December 2019.
First generation (Z10; 1998)
The first-generation Cube was introduced in 1998. It shared the same platform as the Nissan Micra (known as the March in Japan and Southeast Asia), as well as the same 1.3 L inline-four engine. A continuously variable transmission and four-wheel drive were optional. The Cube covered the gap in the Nissan lineup between the March and the Sunny.
Second generation (Z11; 2002)
The second-generation Cube was released in 2002 with a larger interior than the previous model. The combination of angled and curved surfaces was based on the third-generation Micra/March, powered by a 1.4 L I4 engine. The model included the "e4WD" system as an option, which transfers power to the rear wheels when the front wheels spin via a small electric motor on the rear underside of the floor. The electrically powered system allows for reduced drivetrain drag in FWD mode. A slightly longer three row model, the Cube Cubic (stylized as Cube³) went on sale in September 2003.
When equipped with a CVT, the steering wheel button controls and the sport wheel button on the dash panel are located next to the hazard flasher switch. In mid-2005, the cube had an optional upgrade with the new HR-series 1.5 L engine from the Nissan Tiida.
All Cube models have optional extras including an Ion filter (Air Ioniser) for cleaning the air and Nissan's 'smart key' which allows the driver to enter the car without having to use a key. Other options include a sunroof, 12 different styles of front grille and satellite navigation. Other specific models also have different styles of bodykits and fender flares. They come with optional 14 or 15 inch wheels and the Autech versions (Rider, Cube3 and GT models) with chrome styling and special seat covering.
The second-generation Cube was imported and sold in Malaysia by Mitsuoka as the M-Box and later the MPV. This model was different from other Mitsuoka models in that it had no major differences to the original car, and simply had a different grille and a couple of other exterior parts. The M-Box and MPV were exclusive to Malaysia.

Common 2011 Nissan Cube problems
The 2011 Nissan Cube has been reported to have several common problems, primarily related to the transmission, headrests, and HVAC system.
- Transmission Issues: Transmission problems are a common complaint among 2011 Nissan Cube owners. Many drivers have reported that their transmission slipped for a year before completely failing. Others complained of power loss and poor acceleration while driving their Cube. Reports show that Nissan CVT problems may also affect some model years of the Cube. Symptoms like coolant leaks and jerky transmissions are common in affected vehicles. Several class-action lawsuits were filed related to this problem. Nissan extended the warranties of the affected vehicles. Unfortunately, some units that were covered by this solution could also develop CVT problems. Most owners had to shoulder the repairs on their own, which can cost over $3,000.
- Headrest Problems: Several 2011 Nissan Cube owners have reported issues with their headrests. Most of them complained that the headrest was tilted, which pushed their head in an uncomfortable position. This often left them with neck pain, especially after long trips in their Cube.
- HVAC System Problems: According to many owners of the 2011 Nissan Cube, problems with the HVAC system are common for this model year. Some of them have complained that their heater emitted grinding noises when the defroster is pressed, while others have reported that not all of their heater’s vents were blowing warm air. Luckily, replacing faulty components usually resolved these problems.
These issues can significantly impact the overall driving experience and safety of the 2011 Nissan Cube. It is essential for owners to be aware of these common problems and address them promptly to ensure the longevity and safety of their vehicles.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-03-24
- VIN: JN8AZ2KR8BT
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: On March 24, 2023 Friday, I was picking my child up when I noticed a loss of power and acceleration at the gas pedal. This was then followed by a loud, whining sound while in traffic. Luckily, we were not hit when the car lost power. I am mechanically inclined, and was able to deduct that the car went into limp mode. After further research, it is determined that the CVT transmission failed. This could have caused serious injuries to myself, my child, or whoever it may have impacted our vehicle, because of how it lost acceleration While in transit. Vehicle currently has 141,554 miles and it is a 2011 Nissan cube why does the recall affect 2009, 2010, it skips 2011 and then proceeds to carry-on from 2012 on up? What sense does this make , since it’s the same transmission in all of these vehicles? I am contacting Nissan USA to file a complaint, I have also confirmed this with an OBD two scanner. Today’s date is March 27, 2023.

- Components: STRUCTURE,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: 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.

So glad to hear that you're enjoying your Cube! It sounds like it's a great fit for you and your passengers. Plus, getting 33mpg on your first tank of gas is fantastic! The cabin layout and visibility are definitely some of the Cube's strong points. It's great to hear that you find it to be an exceptional value. Keep on enjoying the ride!

I've absolutely adored my cube since I picked it up from the dealership. At first, I was considering the similar Versa, but I couldn't get the cube out of my head. When I compared them side by side and realized they were quite similar, my decision was made. Driving it is an absolute blast. It's incredibly easy to drive, and the control is fantastic. The interior is surprisingly roomy for a car of its size, which is a huge plus. While it does get some funny looks driving down the road, I personally don't mind at all. The audio quality is really impressive for a car in this price range, and I absolutely love the standard iPod and Bluetooth integration. I've had my cube for about two months now, and I'm completely head over heels in love with it! (mileage is just an estimate)

When I first saw this car, I was a bit confused, like most people. It's one of those love it or hate it cars. Luckily, I like things that are a little different, and after taking a closer look, I fell in love with it. I was searching for a small car that had great visibility, safety features, and style, and this car had it all. We ended up getting the Krom edition, which the dealership mistook for the SL edition, so we saved some money. The rims are a fantastic feature, and the sound package is great too. After owning it for two years, all we've had to do is regular maintenance like changing the tires and oil. Some reviews out there are iffy about the CVT, but we've had great success with our little cube. One thing that really surprised me was the interior room. When my friend and I were looking at the car, he's a bigger guy, and even he sat comfortably in the back. The room sits much higher over the seats than it looks on the outside (and the design on the ceiling is pretty cool too). The seats are bucket, which makes taking corners interesting, but it's whatever. The car was a great price. My only real complaint is that the driver's seat doesn't have its own armrest. I don't understand why it wasn't included. You either have to battle the driver for the rest or sit awkwardly without anywhere to put your arm. If you're someone who likes to have a drink while driving, you'll love the 8+ cup holders in this car too! HA

Your car has great gas mileage! It drinks less gas than your former 1994 Honda Civic LX. You only had to put gas in at 250 miles and still had 1/4 tank left. You also have a great view of the hood to map out lanes when driving. However, driving in the wind can be scary as it feels like the tires might give way and makes the car swerve badly. Unfortunately, there are no inside hooks to hang dry cleaning or other stuff and there are less compartments, including no compartments under the seats.

Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to share my experience with my 2010 base model cube that I bought 18 months ago through a private party sale. I didn't really know what to expect, but I was drawn to its unique look and size. To my surprise, it far exceeded all my expectations! As someone who is 6'4

Cory Gislason 2024-07-10
Hi there! Did you know that a four wheel alignment can cost over $1000 if the rear is out of spec? Unfortunately, the Nissan Cube has a non-adjustable rear axle and Nissan will not warrant replacement if it's out of spec. Shims are not approved either. Additionally, rotating tires hides the factory problem and shortens tire life. Hope this helps!
Nikolas Runolfsson 2024-04-05
This car is great for local driving! However, I must say that my Nissan Cube struggles on the highway, especially in windy conditions. The wind noise can also be quite bothersome. But overall, it's a decent car for getting around town.
