MY VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED UNDER NISSAN RECALL ID 277139 & ID227697 AND SHOULD BE DUE TO I HAVE OBD CODE OF P0087 & P0090 WHICH IS A FIRE HAZARD FUEL LEAK LOW PRESSURE RAIL RACK AND I AM NOT THE ONLY OWNER OF JUKES THAT ARE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH VIN NOT COVERED WHEN THEY SHOULD BE. WHAT IS GOING TO TAKE A LOSS OF LIVES

Feb 04, 2019

THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR ON MY JUKE HAS GONE BAD AND I AM BEING TOLD THAT MY CAR IS NOT PART OF ANY RECALL. SOOOO MANY OTHER JUKES HAVE BEEN ON THE RECALL AND THEY WON'T FIX MY PROBLEM. THEY WON'T IS DIAGNOS THE PROBLEM UNLESS I PAY THEM $140 TO SCAN MY JUKE. MY GAS MILEAGE SUCKS AND I SMELL GAS IN THE CAB OCASSIONALLY. I CONTACTED NISSAN DIRECTLY AND GOT A EMAIL BACK TELLING ME MY CAR IS NOT IN THE RECALL AND I WOULD NEED TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN TO DIAGNOSE WHAT I ALREADY KNOW IS THE PROBLEM. I'M REALLY SURPRISED NISSAN ISN'T MORE CONCERNED WITH THIS. I REMEMBER FIRESTORM AND FORD AND A LOT OF LAWSUITS AND DEATHS.

Jul 31, 2018

VEHICLE HAS BEEN IDLING A LITTLE WEIRD FOR A FEW WEEKS AND YESTERDAY MY JUKE HESITATED A LITTLE BEFORE STARTING. AFTER THIS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AND I GOT 2 CODES BECAUSE OF IT P0090 AND P0087. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT THESE CODES COME UP FROM A FAULTY FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED A FEW DIFFERENT TIMES. WHEN I INQUIRED FROM THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME MY CAR HAD NO RECALLS AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY ALMOST $140 FROM THEM JUST TO TELL ME WHAT MIGHT NEED TO BE FIXED. I CAN SMELL GAS WHILE THE CAR IS IDLING IN MY GARAGE AND MY CAR HAS TROUBLES SHIFTING AND STARTING. JUKE IS A 2012 WITH ABOUT 56K MILES ON IT.

2012 NISSAN JUKE HAS A VERY STRONG GASOLINE ODOR WHENEVER THE CAR IS STARTED. THE ODOR DISSIPATES WHILE ON THE ROAD, BUT IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME AND THEN RE-STARTED, THE ODOR RETURNS. THIS BEGAN A FEW MONTHS AGO, BUT WAS VERY INTERMITTENT INITIALLY. NOW IT IS VERY FREQUENT.

PROBLEMS WITH CONSTANT BATTERY DRAINAGE. EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS JUST PARKED AND NOTHING ON BATTERY DRAINS RANDOMLY AND OUT OF NOWHERE. I HAVE REPLACED BATTERY 7 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. I AM ALWAYS SCARED TO BE STRANDED AND EN UP CALLING AAA TO RESCUE ME. I HAVE CALLED AAA AT LEAST 12 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 YEARS JUST TO GET MY CAR GOING. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR FOR SERVICE AND DIAGNOSIS TO VARIOUS NISSAN DEALERSHIPD TO HAVE CHECKED AND THEY ALWAYS SAY THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM IS. THIS IS SO BEYOND FRUSTRATING!!

I HAVE A 2012 NISSAN JUKE AND ABOUT A MONTH AGO THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR POWER LOCK STARTED TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. AFTER ANOTHER WEEK THE DOOR LOCK COMPLETED QUIT WORKING. THAN ANOTHER WEEK LATER THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR LOCK QUIT WORKING. SO TWO POWER DOOR LOCKS QUIT WORKING IN THE SAME MONTH. NOW THE DOORS WON'T LOCK OR UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY. THE ALARM STILL SETS ON THE CAR BUT THE DOOR WILL STILL OPEN AND START THE ALARM (REALLY ANNOYING). I AM A LITTLE CONCERNED THAT IF I NEEDED QUICK ACCESS IN OR OUT OF THE CAR I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO WHICH RISKS MY SAFETY AND WHOEVER IS SITTING BEHIND THE DRIVER. I JUST THINK THIS MUST BE A REALLY CHEAP FAULTY PART IF TWO WENT OUT THE SAME MONTH. AND THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY SORT OF ACCIDENTS.

Jun 30, 2018

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STARTER. CHANGED OUT BATTERY TWICE WITHIN 3 MONTHS. THE BATTERY IS BEING DRAINED. NOT SURE WHY THIS CAR IS HAVING PROBLEMS. HAD TO CALL AAA FOR HELP 3 TIMES. CANNOT TRUST GOING SOMEWHERE. CAR MAY NOT START ONCE I GET TO MY DESTINATION. HAVE HAD THE CAR LESS THAN 1 YEAR

Jul 28, 2016

PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2012 AND I HAVE PUT 5 NEW BATTERIES IN THIS CAR, . THE ADVERAGE LIFE SPAN IS 10 MONTHS. I JUST HAD THE CAR SERVICED AT 60K AND WITHIN 1 WEEK THE BATTERY WAS DEAD ( THE DEALER ADMITTED DID NOT TEST THE BATTERY AT THAT SERVICE) PUT NEW BATTERY IN DEAD IN 2 MONTHS. DEALER HAS NOT OFFERED ANY SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS. OTHERS OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND MODEL AND NO SOLUTION IS EVER OFFERED. SOMETHING IS DRAINING IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. YOU JUST DO NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL DIE. ALWAYS PARKED WHEN THE BATTERY DIES, I GET IT JUMPED AND IT STARTS. ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMES ON BUT THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER. I DRIVE THE CAR DAILY FOR LONG DISTANCES SO THE ALTENATOR WILL CHARGE.

Jul 25, 2016

THE BATTERY WAS DEAD ON TWO OCCASIONS WITHIN 2 WEEKS. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE AND IT WAS MORNING. THE SECOND TIME IT WAS PARKED AT WORK. I DROVE THE CAR TO PURCHASE GAS AT LUNCH TIME AND WHEN I TRIED TO START IT TO GO HOME AT 4 PM THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AAA CAME AND BOOSTED THE BATTERY AND TIGHTENED THE CONNECTIONS THE FIRST TIME. THE SECOND TIME AAA JUST TIGHTENED THE CONNECTIONS ON THE BATTERY AND THE CAR STARTED. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT PROBLEMS THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD. WHY WOULD THE CONNECTIONS BE LOOSE. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND THIS IS MY SIXTH VEHICLE.

Timing chain needs replacement however the timing chain was already replaced in 2014 under Nissan recall NTB14-030c campaign P4213. This car has 54,000 miles on it and has been serviced at Nissan dealerships according to the Nissan service schedule. There is no reason for this part to need replacing again after so few miles unless the Nissan part was bad, there is an underlying manufacturing issue with the vehicle or the recall replacement was done incorrectly. Nissan Consumer Affairs refuses to assist because the car is out of warranty.

I HAD MY NISSAN JUKE AT THE DEALER AT 80,000 MILES TELLING THEM THAT THE RPM'S WERE GOING UP TO ABOUT 5000 BEFORE THE CAR COULD SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND THE CAR WOULD RANDOMLY BOG AND HESITATE. DID THIS WEATHER GOING UP HILL OR FLAT DRIVING AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 4 HRS. I DRIVE FOR A LIVING AND DRIVE ABOUT 5 HRS A DAY. THE DEALER TOOK IT IN AND HAD IT OVER 3 WKS AFTER DETERMINIG THAT IS WAS A TRANSMISSION DEFECT. THEY ORDERED ONE AND THE ONE THAT CAME IN AFTER BEING INSTALLED WOULDN'T ALLOW THE CAR TO GO OVER 40MPH. AGAIN DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION #2 AND IT HASN'T LEFT DEALER. FINALLY GET ANOTHER A MONTH AND A HALF AFTER BRING IT IN AND TELL ME THAT ONLY WARRENTEE LEFT WOULD BE THE REMAINDER OF MY 100,000. (WHICH GAVE ME ABOUT 20,000 MILES TO HOPE DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN) AND AT 97,000 JUST 17,000 MILES ON THE 3RD TRANSMISSION INSTALLED IS IT HAPPENING AGAIN. MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAS HAD IT THIS TIME FOR A MONTH ALREADY FINALLY DETERMINING IT'S DEFECT IN TRANSMISSION YET AGAIN SO NOW WE WAIT FOR THE OK FROM NISSAN TO REPLACE IT, WHICH I WAS TOLD THEY WERE GIVING THEM A HARD TIME BECAUSE IT WAS TECHNICALLY THE 4TH CVT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION INSTALLED ON MY JUKE IN LESS THEN A YEAR. THIS IS CRAZY THANK GOODNESS MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER IS NICE AND I GET A RENTAL BUT STILL MAKING PAYMENTS YET AGAIN ON A VEHICLE I DON'T HAVE DUE TO MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I OWN 7 NISSAN'S AND THIS IS THE LAST ONE THAT I WILL OWN WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I HAVE NO OTHER PROBLEMS WITH ANY OF MY OTHER NISSAN'S

PURCHASED THE 2012 NISSAN JUKE NEW. AT 80,000+/- WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED LOOSING POWER. THE RPM GAUGE WAS SENDING THE RPM'S OVER 8 EACH TIME THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CAR WAS TAKEN TO CLOSEST MECHANIC DUE TO THE ISSUE WHEN PLUGGED INTO THE MACHINE TO DETECT THE ISSUE IT READ A CODE INDICATING IT WAS A SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION. TOOK AUTO TO NISSAN DEALER NEXT DAY (OVER 50 MILES FROM HOUSE) FOR SERVICE WITH THE ISSUE. DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY COULD NOT OBTAIN THAT CODE AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS OVER FILLED. CAR CONTINUES TO DO THIS ON A WEEKLY SOMETIMES DAILY BASIS OF LOOSING POWER AND WHEN ACCELERATING NOT ALLOWING THE CAR TO GO FASTER AND CAUSING THE RPM'S GO UP AN PAST 8. SEVERAL VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP ALL THE WHILE THE DEALERSHIP WAS INDICATING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS TOO FULL OR TOO LOW AND NOT THE SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION. IN 2014 VEHICLE WAS BACK AND DEALERSHIP FOR SAME ISSUE AND WAS TOLD TO FIND WHAT WAS WRONG SINCE I HAD BEEN GIVEN ONLY ANSWERS OF LOW OR HIGH TRANSMISSION FLUID. DEALERSHIP CALLED AND INDICATED THAT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT NOW 128,000 +/- MILES (ALL HIGHWAY DUE TO DISTANCE TO WORK). I HAD STATED THAT I BROUGHT IT IN WHILE THE DRIVE TRAIN WAS STILL COVERED AND NOW THAT I AM PAST THOSE MILES I NEED A TRANSMISSION. DEALER STATED FOR ME TO DRIVE THE CAR IT WAS NOT DANGEROUS AND TO COME IN WHEN IT WAS DOING IT SO THEY COULD PULL A LIVE CODE AND THEN SEND THE TRANSMISSION BACK TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR THEM TO REPLACE THAT IS WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. CAR CONTINUES TO LOOSE POWER (WHEN GOING UP HILL OR DRIVING AGAINST A 10 MILE AN HOUR WIND) PLACING ANY PASSENGERS IN DANGER SINCE THIS WILL OCCUR DRIVING 70 MILES AN HOUR OR SLOWER AT ANY TIME. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE CVT ISSUE AND NEED TO REPAIR THE ISSUE FOR SAFETY AND NOT REPAIRING AT 80,000 MILES.

The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Juke. The contact stated that the vehicle was leaking fuel. There was an abnormal odor of fuel detected. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the sensor needed to be tightened and the fuel pressure sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed him that the fuel pressure sensor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 82,000.

MY 2012 NISSAN JUKE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 75 MPH, DESPITE THE GAS PEDAL BEING COMPLETELY PRESSED DOWN ("PEDAL TO THE METAL"). A DISTINCT SMELL OF GASOLINE WAS NOTICED IN THE CABIN. I TOOK MY JUKE TO A MECHANIC, WHO SAID THE PROBLEM WAS FUEL LEAKING THROUGH THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. THOUGH THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR SOME 2012-2014 NISSAN JUKES (REFERENCE NHTSA 14V683000), MY SPECIFIC VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. I REQUEST THAT THIS RECALL BE INVESTIGATED AND EXPANDED. A FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE WITHIN THE EXPECTED REGULAR MAINTENANCE OF ANY VEHICLE, AND IS VERY LIKELY A DEFECT STEMMING FROM MANUFACTURING. COMMUNICATION ATTEMPTS WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA HAVE BEEN RATHER DISAPPOINTING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MANY OF THE NISSAN JUKE VEHICLES, BUT NISSAN NORTH AMERICA IS NOT WILLING TO PROVIDE ANY REPAIRS FOR MY VEHICLE.

I have a 2012 Nissan Juke and every one of the door lock actuators has had to be replaced. The problems started early on, but the door locks intermittently fail when using the key fob or external door button. Using the internal door lock button is more likely to work even when the key fob and external button fail. Because the failures are intermittent, it is hard to get this diagnosed and replaced at the dealerships. I have had to take the car to the dealership many times, pay a $200 diagnostic fee and then sometimes they replace the door actuator and sometimes do not. Over the past 4 years I have replaced 3 of 4 door actuators and will be replacing the 4th door actuator now. I contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs regarding the issue, as it is a known issue, but they refused to assist because the car is no longer under warranty.

I purchased this Nissan 2012 from Hyundai Santa Maria. It has had a problem starting consistently. There are recorded records all over the net. Simply google Nissan Juke Push Button won't start. I have already spent some money trying to figure out the issue. People have been stranded in my car Calling triple A. It drains the batteries which are $250 each. Nissan indicates that the remote keyless entry that stalls in the accesory mode. It has been 10 yrs an people are having to dump their cars. Mine I pay $224 a month an 11k loan for it to sit in my driveway. It is a danger as if the car cannot be started in a hazardous situation then someone will die. The contact stated that Nissan has not offered any assistance so far. The contact was informed by Nissan that their vehicle does not apply to the recall and recommended that they pay for diagnostic testing.

THIS JUKE HAS BEEN GREAT UNTIL NOW A WEEK AGO. IT HAS INTERMITTENTLY FAILED TO START. ALL THINGS CHECK OUT GOOD THAT USUALLY CAUSE THIS. THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, STARTER, ETC. WE HAVE HAD IT LEAVE US STRANDED AND THE MECHANIC CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN SENT OUT ABOUT 2011-2013 JUKES SAYING NISSAN KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEMS. HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT IT AND LESS THAN HELPFUL. THEY WANT TO CHARGE 160$ TO SEE IF THEY CAN DIAGNOSE IT , BUT IT MUST FAIL IN ORDER FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE. THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS THAT IT DOESN'T ALWAYS FAIL. THERE ARE MANY DAYS IT STARTS WITHOUT ISSUE. I UNFORTUNATELY DON'T HAVE AN EXTRA VEHICLE TO HELP GET MY FAMILY AROUND WHILE THEY KEEP IT FOR SEVERAL DAYS. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR USED, AND HAVE HAD NO ISSUES UNTIL NOW. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. SEEMS NISSAN SHOULD OWN THE FAULT AND THAT DEALERSHIPS SHOULD KNOW HOW TO HELP CUSTOMERS IT DOESN'T ALWAYS FAIL TO START AFTER IT HAS BEEN SITTING. IT COULD HAVE BEEN DRIVEN AND THEN TURNED OFF TO GET GAS, AND THEN WON'T START. OH AND IT ALWAYS STARTS AFTER THE BATTERY HAS BEEN JUMPED OFF. WHAT IS THAT ABOUT SINCE THE BATTERY TEST GOOD. SEEMS ELECTRICAL, OR SOFTWARE UPDATE SOMETHING. PLEASE HELP.IT SEEMS THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD THE ECM REPROGRAMMED AND THAT HAS SEEM TO HELP RESOLVE THE ISSUE. SOUTHWEST NISSAN IS AWFUL.

WE ALSO HAVE RECEIPTS FROM WHERE WE DID HAVE THE OIL CHANGED.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE PEDAL BUILDS UP PRESSURE, STICKS, AND IS NOT ABLE TO BE PRESSED DOWN TO START THE VEHICLE. ALL OF THE LIGHTS WILL TURN ON BUT THE ENGINE WILL NOT START. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL NOT SIGNAL AT THAT TIME AS WELL. IN GETTING A JUMP START, THE VEHICLE IS ABLE TO START. AFTER THIS OCCURS, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STILL RUNNING, WHENEVER THE CAR IS AT A STOP AND THE BRAKE IS PRESSED, IT SHAKES INTERMITTENTLY. THE BATTERY AS WELL AS THE BRAKE SWITCH HAVE BEEN TESTED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND BOTH ARE IN WORKING ORDER. THE INABILITY TO START THE VEHICLE HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN PUBLIC PLACES AND AT THE HOME WHERE THE VEHICLE IS KEPT.

I WAS HIGHWAY DRIVING TODAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST THE TORQUE AND POWER OF MY CAR. IT JUST COASTED ALONG AND WOULDNT ACCELERATE. I MOVED INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND IT JUST SLOWED ME DOWN ABOUT 10 MPH SLOWER THAN I WAS DRIVING. THIS LASTED FOR ABOUT 15-20 MINS AND THEN IT SLOWLY REGAINED POWER. *TR

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (55-65 MPH), THE CAR CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE VERY QUICKLY AND AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON ITS OWN. PRESSED DOWN BRAKE PEDAL AND CAR SLOWED DOWN. TOOK FOOT OFF BRAKE PEDAL AND CAR CONTINUED TO VERY QUICKLY ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN (NO FOOT ON ACCELERATOR). WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, I HEARD A SOUND, KIND OF LIKE A POPPING OF A SPRING SOUND, THEN THE CAR RESUMED NORMAL FUNCTIONING. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET, AND I THOUGHT THIS TO BE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THIS OCCURRED AGAIN YESTERDAY, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT SET. *TR

Sept 2022 i bought my 2012 Nissan Juke from Jeff Wyler’s Nissan King AutoMall. April 23 the left, lower ball joint/axle (drivers side) broke. Needed fixed. Almost $2,000. I specifically asked them to check right sided ball joint/axle. Oh it’s fine. We checked it out and it’s all good. Less than 3 months later-the right sided axle and ball joint broke. It only took over 6 weeks and 3 different places (discount tires, tire discounters and Jeff Wyler’s dealership) to figure out what was wrong with my vehicle at this time. This time it cost me more (but since jeff wylers mechanics fix things and then jack up the price by $800) it actually cost me $1550 to fix it this time.I could have died. On both occasions and now it feels like the backend of my juke is shaking apart. I’m scared to death to drive my vehicle and I’ve told Jeff Wyler I think they sold me an unsafe vehicle and I am now terrified to drive it. But it’s the only car we have in our family and I can’t afford to buy another one. You have no idea as to how terrified I am to drive my car now; especially with that rear end shaking. omg! I’ve never owned a Nissan before and this is my last I have also asked Jeff Wyler’s dealership-wouldn’t this have been caught on their inspection of selling a used car? Wouldn’t the mechanic in April seen signs/symptoms of stress on the right sided ball joint when they looked at it when they fixed the left side? How do things like this get missed? & put MY LIFE IN DANGER as well as every other person on the roads while I drove with broken axles and ball joints? How can they sell vehicles that are not safe? omg! You cannot comprehend the terrified feeling along with anxiety/nausea and just pure terror of driving a vehicle that shakes still and where I’ve had to fix 2 separate massive breakages in the driveway mechanics or frame (idk. The 2nd time it happened; I thought its a bad tire). I am now more religious and spiritual because of this. I now pray several times daily

MY VEHICLE HAD STARTED TO STRUGGLE WITH LOSING SPEED/POWER WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK AGO. BEGAN TO NOTICE A RATTLING NOISE ALONG WITH OIL LEAKING FROM MY VEHICLE'S ENGINE A FEW DAYS AGO. TOOK IT INTO THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT RIGHT WAY. TODAY I WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD BEEN STRETCHED AND WAS SCRAPING AGAINST MY ENGINE, CREATING A HOLE AND REQUIRING A NEW ENGINE. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY TIMING CHAIN COMPLETELY FAILED I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DEAD. NISSAN QUOTES ME AT 9000+ DOLLARS TO REPLACE MY ENGINE. THEY HAD A 'VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN' BACK IN 2014 FOR DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAINS IN 2010 - 2013 NISSAN JUKES. I BOUGHT MY NISSAN FROM AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP IN 2014, NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE NOR DID ANY NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT NOTIFY ME OF THE ISSUE WHEN I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN.

I HAVE HAD MY ROTORS REPLACED TWICE WITHIN 8-12 MONTHS OF PUTTING NEW BRAKE PADS ON. THE ROTORS ARE AGAIN IN BAD SHAPE 6 MONTHS AFTER PUTTING CERAMIC BRAKES ON 7 MONTHS AGO. MY REAR EXHAUST DISINTEGRATED AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO NISSAN FOR A QUOTE THEY INFORMED ME MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAD A 50/50 CHANCE OF GOING. MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR SUBSTANTIALLY LESS AND SHOWED ME THE CORRODED FLANGE TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND ALSO SAID IT WAS BAD. THERE IS NOW A WHISTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE INSIDE OF THE CAR BY THE WINDSHIELD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK IN TO NISSAN TO IDENTIFY THAT ISSUE AND REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THEY COULDN'T "RECREATE" THE WHISTLING NOISE WHICH I'VE CAPTURED ON MY CELL PHONE. AND THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON AND THEIR COMPUTER DID NOT FLAG A PROBLEM WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I HAVE PUT OVER $6,000 IN REPAIRS ABOVE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IT WILL EVEN MAKE IT TO 100,000 MILES. A 2012 VEHICLE WITH 58,000 MILES IS A STEP UP FROM A NEW VEHICLE. I AM NOT WILLING TO KEEP MAKING REPAIRS ON A VEHICLE THAT IS FALLING APART PREMATURELY. I ASKED NISSAN FOR COMPENSATION TOWARDS ANOTHER VEHICLE (USED IS FINE) WITH LITTLE TO NO OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. THEY ONLY CONSIDER A BUY BACK OF A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE AND THAT INVESTIGATION ONLY CONSIDERS REPAIRS DONE AT NISSAN SERVICE CENTERS. THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT DOCUMENTATION FROM OTHER REPAIR SHOPS. I HAVE ALREADY PUT IN TWO COMPLAINTS WITH NISSAN AND THEY OFFER NO SOLUTIONS. THIS IS AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF REPAIRS FOR A 2012 NISSAN JUKE I BOUGHT NEW WITH ONLY 58000 MILES ON IT. AND ITS UNACCEPTABLE.

MY 2012 NISSAN JUKE ALL BEGAN ON WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 25, 2015 WHEN I WAS BEGINNING MY MORNING. I WENT OUT TO START MY CAR, THE SAME WAY I ALWAYS DO BEFORE I LEAVE FOR WORK IN THE MORNINGS. TEN MINUTES LATER WHEN I WALKED OUTSIDE MY CAR WAS NOT RUNNING. I CALLED A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO DOES HOUSE CALLS AND ASKED IF HE COULD COME OVER. HE KNEW ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD BROKEN. HE CONTINUED TO RUN SOME TESTS AND DIAGNOSTICS AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO COMPRESSION IN THE VALVES. I JUMPED RIGHT ONLINE ONLY TO FIND OUT TO MY HORROR THAT NISSAN HAD ISSUED A SERVICE CAMPAIGN 6+ MONTHS EARLIER AND I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. I STILL WAS NOT CONCERNED. I CALLED THE NISSAN 800 NUMBER RIGHT AWAY AND THE LADY THAT WORKED WITH ME WAS EXTREMELY HELPFUL. SHE THEN PUT ME IN CONTACT WITH KOCOUREK NISSAN. WHEN I WAS CONNECTED, I EXPLAINED WHAT WAS GOING TO THE SERVICE CENTER. THE FIRST THING [XXX] INFORMED ME OF WAS THAT IF THERE WAS SLUDGE IN MY OIL, IT WOULD VOID MY WARRANTY. THIS MADE ME EXTREMELY NERVOUS. ONCE MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO KOCOUREK NISSAN, HE CALLED ME AGAIN STATING THAT HE HAD NOT EVEN HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT IT YET, BUT NEEDED TO CHARGE ME $200.00 TO GET IT ON THE PATH TO DIAGNOSTICS. AGAIN [XXX] WAS INSISTENT ON LETTING ME KNOW IF THERE WAS SLUDGE IN THE OIL/OIL PAN IT WOULD MOST LIKELY VOID MY WARRANTY. AGAIN, A FEELING OF PANIC HITS AS I CAN ALREADY SEE WHERE THIS GOING. WHEN [XXX] CALLS ME BACK THAT EVENING HE STATES THAT SURPRISE, THERE IS SLUDGE IN THE OIL/OIL PAN. BUT HE WAS GOING TO GET EVERYTHING OVER TO NISSAN AND ?FIGHT FOR ME?. ON THURSDAY FEBRUARY 26, 2015 [XXX] CALLS ME AGAIN AND STATES THAT THERE IS TOO MUCH SLUDGE, YOUR WARRANTY IS VOID, AND A NEW ENGINE IS ABOUT $5000.00. THERE IS A TIMING CHAIN THAT BROKE WHILE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. THAT WOULD HAVE JUNKED THAT ENGINE. I HAVE THE OIL CHANGED REGULARLY.

WHEN TURNING ON THE AIR CONDITIONING IN THE CAR AFTER ENGINE STARTUP A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GAS ENTERS THE VEHICLE CABIN. THE FUMES ARE VERY STRONG AND UNMISTAKABLE. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT HAPPENS OFTEN ENOUGH TO BE A CONCERN. THIS STARTED I WOULD SAY WITHIN THE PAST 4-6 MONTHS, NOT SURE EXACTLY WHEN. DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR CONCERN, WAS WAITING FOR AN OIL CHANGE INTERVAL TO COME UP. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE ISSUE WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR A TIMING CHAIN REPLACEMENT TSB. THE DEALERSHIP (WESTON NISSAN IN DAVIE, FLORIDA) HAS SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. GAS SMELL/FUMES ENTERING THE VEHICLE COMPARTMENT IS A SAFETY/HEALTH ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A CHILD INSIDE. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WHEEL HAD AN IMPROPER CASTING FROM THE FACTORY. THE RIM HAD A FAILURE AT FREEWAY SPEED WITH NO DAMAGE, SIGNS OF IMPACT, OR PUNCTURE TO TIRE. THE TIRE REMAINED ON ITS BEAD WHILE VEHICLE CAME TO A FULL AND COMPLETE STOP. THE RIM FAILED BY HAVING A TWO INCH HOLE BLOWOUT FROM THE INSIDE OF THE RIM CAUSING A SUDDEN LOSS OF PRESSURE TO THE WHEEL. THERE WAS NO CONTACT WITH ANY ROAD DEBRIS OR HAZARDS. THE FLAW WAS IDENTIFIED BY AN EXCESS AMOUNT OF WHEEL WEIGHT, USED IN THE TIRE BALANCING PROCESS, WITHIN 2 INCHES OF FAILURE SIGNIFYING A LACK OF MATERIAL IN THAT AREA OF THE RIM.
