2013 Nissan Cube VAN FWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2013 Nissan Cube VAN FWD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

No
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"i went over a set of railroad tracks in cary, nc which seemed particularly challenging for this particular vehicle at, i estimate, 10-20 mph. the vehicle felt to us like it was breaking apart. after this the vehicle seemed severely malaligned. i brought it for an alignment and the technician told me that there was no way to align the rear and that the axle had been bent. subsequently nissan has been telling me that there is no way for this damage to have occurred going over tracks and that i must have hit something. i asked a certified nissan mechanic about this and he asked if there was any visible damage to the axle housing (which would be indicative of the vehicle hitting something). both the original alignment technician, as well as another certified mechanic have stated that they saw no such damage whatsoever, with one saying that the axle housing looked like it came straight from the factory."
