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.

MY NISSAN JUKE SHUT OFF WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP AFTER GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY. IT SOUNDS HORRIBLE WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON. LIKE A CLICKING SOUND. ON YOUTUBE I LOOKED UP THE TIMING BELT ISSUES WITH THE NISSAN JUKE AND IT WAS THE EXACT SAME SOUND. BUT THERE WAS ONLY A RECALL ON THE V8 NISSAN JUKE SO I COULDN'T GET IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT ALSO SLOWS DOWN WHEN I GO UP TO 60 TO 70 MPH.

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.

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!!

HAD THE OIL CHANGED PER 3 MONTH TIME ON JULY 14TH, 0 TICKING FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS THEN TICKING SOUND UNDER THE HOOD AGAIN. SCHEDULED SERVICE APPT FOR 8/31/18. THE SERVICE DEPT SAID NEEDED TIME CHAIN REPLACED. WENT BACK, NOTED TIMING CHAIN REPLACED PER RECALL ON 4/6/15 @MILEAGE 6/05. 8/3/18 MILEAGE 111830- TIMING CHAIN ONLY LASTED 50,779 MILES COUNT. THE PART ONLY LAST 50,779 MILES @ DOCUMENTATION, BUT HAS BEEN TICKING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. I HAVE SPOKEN AND NIACIN NORTH AMERICA, THEY ONLY WARRANTY FOR 12 MONTHS OR 12,000 MILES ON REPLACED PARTS. THIS JUKE WAS RUNNING FINE BEFORE TIMING CHAIN REPLACED. ALSO, I HAD THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. THIS TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO LAST MORE THAN 50,000 MILES. WE ALSO HAVE RECEIPTS FROM WHERE WE DID HAVE THE OIL CHANGED. THAT WAS ALSO A QUESTION- THE DEALERSHIP SAID MUST HAVE NOT CHANGED OIL- SO THAT'S WHY TIMING CHAIN FAILED SO SOON, I WAS TOLD IF THE TIMING CHAIN SNAPS- THE CARDIAC WHILE DRIVING!!

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.

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.

NHTSA ODI 11104889

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. THE SHAKING OF THE CAR UPON BRAKING HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR HAS TROUBLE STARTING.

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.

THE BACK SEAT, WHICH CAN FOLD DOWN, DOES NOT LATCH TO THE ATTACHMENT, AS DESIGNED. THIS SEAT CAN LUNGE FORWARD, WHICH COULD BE HAZARDOUS TO A PASSENGER OR EVEN THE DRIVER. THIS IS PROBLEMATIC, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THE BRAKES NEED TO BE ENGAGED QUICKLY'THE UNLATCHED SEAT SLAMS FORWARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN I'VE HAD TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES QUICKLY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT, IT PROPELS FORWARD THE UNLATCHED BACK SEAT.

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.
