2010 Nissan cube 4dr Hatch

122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD

78000 mi Interior door panel insert on driver's door is pushing into the door when pressed. Dealer confirmed clips behind door insert broken, offered to try adhesive (but no warranty) or order new door panel. Opted for no repair for now. 
140000 mi Noticed a musty smell in the car that wouldn't go away. I had noticed it before, but it always went away in a day or two. It finally got persistent enough to cause me to investigate further. I found the foam pad under the carpet in the cargo area was soaking wet. Further investigation found water standing in the tool bin under the rear seat floor board, rusting the car's OEM jack and tool kit. I removed the foam pad and cargo mat and dried out the water. I asked the dealer to investigate next time I went in for a preventive maintenance appointment, and they suspected a leak in the cargo area (duh) but couldn't find the leak. Repair unsuccessful. I had read that water often gets into the cargo area of cubes via gaps around the cabin pressure relief vents above the rear bumper. Owners online who had this problem said to use silicone sealant around the vents to stop the issue. It's a difficult job to do from the inside of the car (the alternative being removal of the rather large rear bumper cover and taillights to do the job from the outside -- also difficult, especially if you lack a garage space, as I do). This repair attempt at home after the dealer failed to find a leak also proved ultimately unsuccessful. 
26300 mi

US $78
Steering wheel cover (leather) peeling away. Dealer replaced, but I had to pay for a front end alignment when they couldn't correctly align the replacement steering wheel. 
22700 mi plastic creaking rattle in driver's side B-pillar/drivers door area...third time repaired involve d a new door panel...still hear it, but not quite as loud...thinking of giving another dealer a crack at it. 
55000 mi Roughly a year ago I noticed that upon close inspection, inner door panel not installed correctly. Dealer pulled it apart and reinstalled it correctly. The rattle/creak was back, though not to the degree or loudness it was at when I first had it fixed. 
6000 mi Driver side window weather stripping was loose and not conforming to the window frame. Dealer inspected and order part. Went in for the repair and an oil change. Glue required longer than expected "dry" time. Dealer offered and provided another vehicle during this wait time. Repair completed satisfactorily. 
Someone at Deery's tried to burn in sheet metal lag screws into the machined thread license plate mount, nut clips. One clip I managed to remove, the other was a no-go I had to cut off with a die grinder. 
US $15 Replaced 96327WD200 BASE-INSIDE MIRROR Located between mirror and roof. Designed to break if mirror is hit but it broke when adjusting for new driver. New part appears to be the same so will probably break again.
