MY JUKE CAUGHT ON FIRE THIS MORNING! IT ONLY HAS 32,400 MILES ON IT AND I AM LEFT WITH NO CAR AND LITTLE INTEREST FROM NISSAN. I DID SMELL GAS BUT DID NOT THINK MUCH OF IT. MY SON IS ON DIALYSIS 3 DAYS A WEEK AND AT FIRST THE CORPORATION TOLD ME I WOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR A RENTAL CAR FOR THREE DAYS BUT BEFORE THE CALL CONCLUDED THEY CHANGED THEIR MIND TELLING ME IT WAS PENDING DECISION. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2011-2012 JUKE FUEL INJECTED ENGINE DUE TO FUEL MAY LEAK FROM THE PRESSURE SENSOR, INCREASING THE RISK OF A FIRE, THAT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF. NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011-2012 JUKE, INFINITI QX AND INFINITI M VEHICLES. THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSORS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED TO THE CORRECT SPECIFICATION. AS A RESULT, THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR MAY LOOSEN DUE TO HEAT AND VIBRATION CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK. THEY TRIED TO TELL ME THAT MY CAR WAS ONE THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN FIXED....SO, THEN WHY AM I LEFT WALKING IN THE SUBZERO TEMPERATURES? *TR

AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT THE APPROACHING RED LIGHT, MY CAR COMPLETELY CUT OFF. IT WAS NOT ENOUGH TIME TO TURN ON HAZARDS OR SIGNAL ANY APPROACHING CARS SO THE CAR CAUSING THE CAR BEHIND ME TO HIT INTO THE BACK OF MY BUMPER. THE HIT CAUSED SOMETHING TO FALL OFF THE TOP OF THEIR CAR AND MAKE A SMALL CRACK ONTO MY DRIVER TAIL LIGHT. THE CAR STOPPED BECAUSE IT WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF GAS, EVEN THOUGH THE GAS METER READ THAT THERE WAS MORE THAN A QUARTER TANK OF GAS IN THE CAR. THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM NOT READING CORRECTLY, WHICH I HAD MY CAR TAKEN INTO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN JULY, WHERE THEY SPENT 3 HOURS "CORRECTING" THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED CORRECTLY AS HAVING NO GAS IN THE CAR (EVEN THOUGH THE METER SAID I HAD GAS) CAUSED MY CAR TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET, WHICH IN TURN CAUSED MY DAUGHTER AND MYSELF TO BECOME INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. *TR
