ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

I have Change the battery every year for the last 3 years at no charge from Nissan. This year the battery acid came out and make some damages , which Nissan fixed at no charge due to (Collateral damage) Car stops accelerating out of nowhere even with the battery exchange Yes, Nissan service center has confirm that my car is not the only one having this issues , even there's cars that get battery exchange every 8 months . Nissan service center has checked this issue, but they just rather change the battery instead of checking why this is happening . decrease of acceleration starts around month 9 or 10, the difference right know is that even with the battery exchange is still happening.

AIR BAGS,SEAT BELTS

1 complaint

This vehicle has 16K miles. The air bag and seat belt warning lights are illuminated. This car has a Nissan Extended Gold Warranty for 4 more years and 55K more miles. This warranty does not include these mentioned safety systems. This - any - warranty of this type should include the safety systems. This is a disregard for safety systems.

Never after driving.

We purchased this vehicle brand new and currently has 24,000 miles and has always been garaged . I just became aware now that there is no functioning burglar alarm and possibly no ignition lock-out similar to the Kia and Hyundai issue . Even though there is a functioning armed indicator light on the dash and there is a horn alert on locking and the button on the key fob alerts , there is no alarm on attempted entry or other assault . I looked the other day to see if the alarm fuse might be blown and there was no fuse in that position and there was only one wire to that position which , of course , makes it non- functional . This vehicle has had the tires vandalized , sabotaged, 3 times and hit-and -run all in our church parking lot while we were inside the building , car locked , armed ? , and no alarm sounded ever . There is nothing in the owner's manual that says the alarm or lock-out is optional . I have owned a 2011 Juke , a 2014 Juke and I was not aware of any alarm problem . I have just contacted nissanUSA and local dealer , no response yet .

POWER TRAIN

1 complaint

This has happened several times in the couple months ive owned the car, the scariest incident involving the transmission slipping and the car losing power was after having to stop on the shoulder of i95 highway this was the first time i had even given it more than the reasonable rate of pedel pressure or "gas" and im expecting to get up to speed to merge back into the flow of traffic however right at 45-50mph as im merging into the far right lane of the highway the engine just screams out and rpms max out the car slows rapidly. This is becoming more and more frequent and also theres times we take for granted when we need that engine to work to either get out of an intersesction, merge into traffic, use the cars power as a preventative measure to stay safe in various environments. Driving through baltimore city, a group of young men surrounded my car a week ago and start giving it an entire washing , mind youu im at a red light, but theyve got buckets and soapy rags sudz everywhere and when it turns green the older looking of them screams "50 bucks explicit explicit " " I know you got it" i dont have a dollar on me just my credit cards and also my little neice penelope. i see an opening and floor it but instantly engine winds all the way up , its just ravving out the boy throws a rock cracking my windshield , the crack is aligned with my face so imagine my anxiety levels trying to explain to my sister penelopes mother what had her daughter screaming and crying . So in short the transmission has been a nightmare and I would love to see a recall or some other recourse for me. I am a new owner , i have seen there was a lawsuit awhile back, i took the car to Jone Nissan in Beliar MD after they sweat talked me into bringing my car right away saying things like man are you lucky, and your still udner warranty , your getting a new transmission compliments of nissan, just hyping me up to the tone of take a loaner car and we're fix everything free of charge.

I FIRST CALLED LEE NISSAN TO TELL THEM WHAT HAPPENED, AND TALKED WITH PATRICK IN SERVICE. HE HAD NOTES THAT EVERYTIME I CAME IN I TOLD ABOUT THE CAR LUNGING.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES

1 complaint

MY TRACTION LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT REPEATEDLY HAVE COME ON AND REMAIN ON OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST YEAR BUT HAVE NOT COME UP AS PART OF ANY OF THE SAFETY RECALLS THAT ARE AFFECTING OTHER NUKES THAT WERE BUILT DURING THE SAME TIME PERIOD. IN ADDITION, MY CAR MAKES A HUMMING SOUND AS IF ENGAGING THE TRACTION SYSTEM AT EACH STOP. I'VE HAD THE CAR SERVICED AND THE BRAKES CHANGED BUT TO NO AVAIL, THE LIGHTS HAVE RETURNED A MERE 3 WEEKS AFTER GETTING NEW PORCELAIN BRAKES AND ROTORS INSTALLED. MY CAR IS STILL NOT PART OF THE RECALL BUT I DO BELIEVE THERE IS INDEED AN ISSUE WITH MY BRAKE AND TRACTION SYSTEM AND IT IS GOING TO FAIL ME AT SOME POINT DESPITE NISSAN NOT WANTING TO FIX THIS.

MY 2017 AWD JUKE HAS ONLY 16,000 MILES ON IT AND ALREADY NEEDS THE FRONT TIRES REPLACED. THE BACK TIRES LOOK ALMOST NEW. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED AND WAS TOLD THEY ARE TOO WORN TO ROTATE AND WOULD NEED TO BUY 4 NEW TIRES. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THE CAR WOULD NOT START SOMETIMES. IT IS PUSH BUTTON START. I NOTICED THE GREEN KEY LIGHT FLASHING ON THE DASH. AFTER READING THE MANUEL, I REPLACED THE BATTERY IN THE FOB. THAT DID NOT RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL NOT ENGAGE TO START THE CAR. IT IS CURRENTLY PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW WE WILL BE ABLE TO MOVE IT SINCE IT CAN NOT BE PUT IN GEAR WITHOUT BEING TURNED ON.
