Problem overview

Some Nissan Cube owners report experiencing transmission slipping issues, which can be attributed to several factors. Regular maintenance is essential, as neglecting it may lead to slipping problems. Additionally, low transmission fluid levels are a common cause of slipping, making it crucial for owners to check fluid levels regularly. Signs of transmission problems, such as harsh or jerky shifts, erratic shifting behavior, and getting stuck in gear, have been reported by some owners. If slipping occurs without visible leaks, checking the solenoid is recommended. Furthermore, some owners note that issues with the torque converter, including slipping, overheating, or shuddering, should be inspected and potentially replaced by a professional mechanic. The cost of replacing the CVT transmission has also been highlighted as a significant concern, as it tends to be more expensive than other transmission types. Maintaining proper performance and fuel efficiency, with some owners achieving up to 30 mpg on the highway, is crucial, and addressing these transmission issues promptly can help ensure the Nissan Cube operates effectively.
