2012 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 2012 Nissan Cube problems
The Nissan Cube, particularly the 2012 model, is known to have several common problems based on complaints from owners. The most significant issue is with the CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), which is the worst problem category for the Nissan Cube.
- CVT Failure: The 2012 Nissan Cube has an average cost of $3,000 to fix CVT failure, with an average mileage of 81,000 miles. This issue is a major concern for Nissan Cube owners, as the CVT transmission is known to fail prematurely.
- Transmission Failed: The 2011 Nissan Cube has an average cost of $3,800 to fix transmission failure, with an average mileage of 96,000 miles. This problem is also related to the CVT transmission, which can cause the entire transmission to fail, leading to expensive repairs.
- Steering Column Lock Malfunction, Car Disabled: This issue is common in the 2009 Nissan Cube, with an average cost of $800 to fix, and an average mileage of 68,000 miles. The steering column lock malfunction can cause the car to become disabled, making it unsafe to drive.
- Tyre Pressure Problem: A known issue in the Nissan Cube is for the tyre pressure to go down very quickly, which can be very dangerous when driving on low-pressure tyres. This problem is due to a failure with the TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) sensor, which can corrode and cause the tyre pressure to drop suddenly.
- Automatic Window Up Switch Failure: This issue is due to a software failure, which can cause the automatic up window switch not to work, requiring the driver to hold the switch in the up position to get the window up.
- Clunking/Creaking Noise from Suspension: This problem is caused by the coil springs, which can become loose or damaged, causing a clunking or creaking noise, particularly when driving over speed bumps or rough surfaces.
- Difficulty with CVT Gearbox: The CVT gearbox is known for causing problems and sometimes not even responding when the accelerator is pressed, which can be a very expensive problem to fix. The usual solution is to fit a replacement gearbox.
In summary, the Nissan Cube, especially the 2012 model, has several common problems, with the CVT transmission being the most significant issue. The CVT transmission is known to fail prematurely, causing expensive repairs, and can also cause the entire transmission to fail. Other issues include steering column lock malfunction, tyre pressure problems, automatic window up switch failure, clunking/creaking noise from suspension, and difficulty with the CVT gearbox.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2019-06-28
- VIN: JN8AZ2KR2CT
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: I OWN A 2012 NISSAN CUBE WITH 80,000 MILES ON IT. MY TEENAGER WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN IT STALLED OUT ON HER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT EVENTUALLY CAUGHT ENOUGH TO ACCELERATE AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT IS AN INTERNAL FAILURE OF SEVERAL SENSORS ON THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I HAVE READ ONLINE AT MULTIPLE SITES THAT THIS IS A LARGELY OCCURRING INCIDENT WITH NISSAN AND THESE MODELS. A TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT FAIL AT 80,000 MILES! IT IS A DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO THE DRIVER IF ON AN INTERSTATE OR OTHERWISE BUSY HIGHWAY (WE LIVE IN A METROPOLITAN CITY). THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED, AS NISSAN IS NOT OFFERING ANY WARNINGS, RECALLS OR ASSISTANCE TO THE PROBLEM.
POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2019-04-18
- VIN: JN8AZ2KR5CT
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE DURING WARM WEATHER, YOU WILL GO TO ACCERALATE TO ONLY BE MET WITH THE LOSE OF POWER AND YOUR SPEED WILL DROP FROM 70 TO 20 WITHOUT WARNING. THE DASH DOES NOT LIGHT A WARNING AND YOU MUST HIT YOUR HAZARD FLASHERS QUICKLY AND HOPE THE CARS BEHIND YOU BRAKE IN TIME. YOU THEN MUST MOVE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WITH THE VEHICLE "SPUTTERING" TO DO 20 MPH ON A ROADWAY WITH 60 PLUS MPH TRAFFIC. I HAVE SPOKEN TO NISSAN CORP., AND TWO DEALERSHIP CONCERNING THIS ISSUE WITH ALL STATING THEY DID NOT KNOW THE CAUSE. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND FROM DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE SINCE 10,000 MILES, I FEEL THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE ISSUES AND HAVE NOT PROPERLY MADE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS THE TRANSMISSION COOLER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 65 DEGREES, I DO NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES DRIVING THE SAME ROUTES AND AT THE SAME SPEEDS. WHEN THE TEMPERATURES OUTSIDE ARE IN THE UPPER 70'S I CAN DRIVE 270 MILES BEFORE THE ISSUE OCCURS. WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 80'S, IT WILL OCCUR WITHIN 100 MILES. I WILL NO LONGER TRAVEL OVER 50 MILES WHEN TEMPERATURES REACH THE 90'S. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED AT 30 AND 60, AND 90 THOUSAND MILES. THE DEALERSHIP THEN TOLD ME AT 120,000 THAT IT WAS NOT DUE TILL 150,000 MILES PER THE OWNER'S MANUAL. I AM NOW AT 140,000 AND CANNOT DRIVE OVER 50 MILES IF THE WEATHER IS TOO HOT.
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2018-09-22
- VIN: JN8AZ2KR7CT
- Components: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE
- Summary: PULLED OUT FROM STOP LIGHT, ZERO POWER. ZERO ACCELERATOR RESPONSE. JUST CREEP OUT SUPER SLOW AT IDLE AND CROSS THE INTERSECTION. VERY UNSAFE. CVT SEEMED TO BE IN LIMP-HOME MODE; NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH, NO WARNING, NO VIBRATION OR OTHER FAILURE.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2018-08-15
- VIN: JN8AZ2KR5CT
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS, WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THERE WILL BE NO WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH---YOU DROP IN SPEED EVEN IF YOU HAVE THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. THIS WILL ALSO OCCUR AROUND TOWN AND WILL HAPPEN WHEN YOU TRY TO START MOVING FROM A RED LIGHT OR ENTER THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC FROM A SIDE STREET. IT IS EXTREMELY SCARY AND DANGEROUS TO BE DOING 70MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND YOU AND YOUR CAR SUDDENLY LOSES SPEED AS IF YOU HIT THE BRAKES. THE PROBLEM OCCURED TO THIS EXTREME WITH ONLY 30,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THIS AND COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. NOW AT 125,000...NISSAN CORPORATE TOLD ME TODAY THAT IT WAS A FAIL SAFE MODE TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THEY SAID THERE MAY NOT BE AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR, IT WILL ACTIVATE TO PREVENT DAMAGE. HOW IS IT SAFE TO BE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH AND SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING YOU ARE LUCKY TO BE DOING 20MPH? WHEN THE FAIL SAFE MODE HAS KICKED IN....NO ISSUE HAS BEEN FOUND WITH MY VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO WARN CONSUMERS THAT AT ANY TIME YOU COULD LOSE POWER AND BE READY TO BE REAR ENDED WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS TO YOU OR THE TRAFFIC BEHIND YOU.
POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2018-06-29
- VIN: JN8AZ2KR7CT
- Components: POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE ~ SAFETY ISSUE SLOW TO START ~ SAME AS 100'S OF REPORTS ON INTERNET CAR WAS AT WARRANTY END AND NISSAN SAID ONLY FIX FOR SMALL LEAK WAS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE CVT~ AS PER CURRENT PENDING CLASS ACTIONS AGAINST NISSAN FOR 2013-2017 CVTS BEING REPLACED REPEATEDLY WITH THE SAME FAILING TRANSMISSION ENDED IN REPAIR COST TO CUSTOMER. NISSAN OFFERED TO PAY FOR PARTS BUT NOT LABOR. WHY WOULD I PAY TO PUT THE SAME BAD PART ON THE CAR? WHY IS THERE NOT A CLASS ACTION FOR 2012 NISSANS? THIS CAR HAD A FUEL LEAK THAT TOOK MANY MONTHS TO REPAIR AND FIND. THEN THE A/C WAS NOT WORKING AND MECHANIC SAID IT MIGHT BE RELATED TO THE OPEN ENDED TEMP GAGE FOR OUTSIDE TEMP THAT THIS MODEL DID NOT HAVE, ONLY FIX HE HAD WAS ELECTRICAL TAPE WHICH I TOLD NISSAN WAS NOT A GOOD FIX AND HAVE WORK ORDER THROUGH NISSAN FOR THIS. A/C WAS O RING WHICH MAY RELATE BACK TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE THE WHOLE THING BASICALLY WAS SHAKING APART. SO THE DEALER FILLED THE A/C AND FAILED TO FIND ORING LEAK AND ALSO FAILED TO FIND TRANSMISSION LEAK WHEN I TOLD THEM I WANTED EVERYTHING CHECKED PER THE WARRANTY ENDING. MASTER MECHANIC FOUND IT WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK NOW THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME LABOR ON NEW CVT ONLY I READ CVT BREAK REPEATEDLY AND SOME PEOPLE HAD BOUGHT 3 OR 4 TRANSMISSIONS! THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL OF ALL CVTS.
AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2017-12-01
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHING ON AND OFF WHEN DRIVING
TIRES PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2017-11-03
- Components: TIRES
- Summary: I CHANGED THE ORIGINAL TYRES OF THE CAR AFTER 3 YEARS OF NORMAL WEAR OUT AND REPLACED THEM IN OCTOBER 2015 WITH PIRELLI CINTURAUTO P6 TYRES. I DRIVE AN AVERAGE OF 10,000 MILES PER YEAR, THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE TYRES IS THE CORRECT ONE AS SPECIFIED BY THE CAR, AND I DRIVE ON COUNTRY ROADS BUT VERY CAREFULLY. IN DECEMBER 2016 THE RIGHT FRONT TYRE SHOWED A BULGE ON ITS SIDEWALL SO I REPLACED IT IMMEDIATELY WITH ANOTHER CINTURAUTO P6. IN JANUARY 2017 THE LEFT FRONT TYRE SHOWED A SIMILAR BULGE ON ITS SIDEWALL SO I REPLACED IT IMMEDIATELY WITH ANOTHER CINTURAUTO P6. IN MAY 2017 THIS LEFT FRONT TYRE WHICH HAD BEEN REPLACED IN JANUARY 2017 SHOWED ONCE AGAIN A SIMILAR BULGE ON ITS SIDEWALL SO, ONCE AGAIN, I REPLACED IT WITH ANOTHER CINTURAUTO P6. AND NOW, IN NOVEMBER 2017 THE BACK RIGHT TYRE HAS EXPLODED, I WAS NOT AWARE IF THERE HAD BEEN A BULGE IN THE SIDEWALL OF THIS RIGHT BACK TYRE AS I WOULD HAVE REPLACED IT IMMEDIATELY IF I HAD SEEN ONE. PIRELLI BLAMES MY DRIVING AND DOES NOT OFFER ME ANY WARRANTY. I BLAME PIRELLI BECAUSE I DON'T THINK A TYRE SHOULD BE SO DELICATE AND BECAUSE I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE ORIGINAL TYRES OF THE CAR WITH A SIMILAR TYPE OF DRIVING. AS THE TYRES HAVE BEEN FAILING ONE AT A TIME I HAVE HAD TO KEEP REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE TYRES FOR THE SAME MODEL BUT THIS LAST EXPLOSION HAS SCARED ME AND I AM GOING TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TYRES WITH OTHERS THAT ARE NOT SO DELICATE.

Hi there! It's great to hear that you're a Nissan family! I completely understand the need for a spacious car, especially with car seats and a tall husband. It sounds like you made a fantastic decision in trading in your Altima for the Cube. I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying the extra room and the adjustable back seat. It's also great to hear that your gas mileage has improved over time. I completely agree that if a car fits your needs, it's definitely worth buying. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

I purchased this car for its reliability and gas mileage. At first, I wasn't sure about the design, but now I absolutely love it! The car drives, corners, and parks very well, and I can see from all angles. The sound system is also fantastic. I read some reviews that mentioned three issues, but I haven't experienced any of them to be major problems. The engine noise on acceleration is no worse than any other 4-cylinder engine I've had, and while there is some highway noise at 45 mph, it's not too bad and can be easily drowned out by turning up the radio. The reflection issue is a bit freaky, but I'm still trying to get used to it. However, it doesn't bother my husband, so maybe it's just a personal thing. The car is very comfortable, and even my 6'4

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!

The visors obstruct the driver's view and are not wide enough to block the sun through the side window, causing discomfort and potential danger. It is necessary to find visors that fit properly and provide adequate protection. This is a common issue that many drivers face and it is important to prioritize safety on the road.

Lonzo Hoppe 2024-06-17
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. Let me know if you have any questions!
Jan Schaefer 2024-05-25
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.
