| Description of the problem | I bought my nissan cube in 2010 (used with about 23,000 miles). I have been having trouble with the air condition making a fan noise, slowing down, going faster then cutting off. The dealer said it was normal bor the a/c to do that, but now i believe it is really going to die out. I have also been having trouble with my cube where you press on the gas and the car is going anywhere, then in a couple of seconds the tires kind of stutter along and i'm on my way. This happens alot. I bought new tires because i thought that this was what was wrong with it, but it still does it. I also have that stupid tire light coming on a lot and then my new tires are deflating for no reason. Took it back to the tire shop where the checked all the pressures in my tires, 1 was very low and turned off light on my dash. This vehicle is too wide, scares the heck out of me when i have to turn left or right only because the windshield is too wide and you have to scoot way up or way back to make sure when you turn that you can see where you are going. You no matter how many times i told the guy at nissan what was wrong, they could never find anything wrong with the vehicle. Now i have had it three years and all the problems are worse. I think this car was jinx when i brought, and i wasn't even the vehicle i wanted to buy, but the salesperson and financial person kept pushing for me to get this vehicle, and as a single mom and a person that needed a vehicle very badly, i took the bait and bought the car. I'm looking for something better now and i hope i don't get ripped off again. |
