2014 Nissan Cube VAN FWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2014 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:
"after coming to a stop (or near stop) from highway speeds, my 2014 nissan cube does not respond to depressing the accelerator. i would press the gas to the floor and it barely moved. it was extremely slow, like the engine would not go above idle. after 5-20 seconds it would finally accelerate. a couple of times i was in heavy traffic on a limited access rural highway. the light ahead had turned red and i decelerated to an almost stop before the light changed to green. of course, i immediately let off the brake pedal and pressed the accelerator. the car didn't respond and the traffic from behind was closing at near highway speed. fortunately, i was able to swerve off of the road onto the shoulder as the overtaking traffic barrelled past me. one particularly scary time i was in the left lane with guard rail on the left as we were approaching a bridge; the no response event repeated itself, but i was unable to exit the roadway to the left. i kept the pedal down and prayed no one would hit me. karma was watching over me as the cars coming from behind realized just in time that i was barely moving and swerved to miss me. a couple of the cars narrowly missed hitting me; there was a lot of squealing tires and blaring horns. luckily for me, i was wearing dark-colored underwear'.. it appears to happen more often as the car accumulates mileage. i never know when this will happen, so now i try to be in the right lane for upcoming stops, but sometimes you are caught off guard for a traffic light change. this is very scary. car should be recalled."
