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 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

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

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.

WHEN TRAVELING IN THE JUKE ESPECIALLY WITH THE WINDOW DOWN A BIT THERE IS A CONSTANT WAVE OF HEAT COMING UP FROM THE FLOOR AREA BEHIND THE CENTER CONSOLE. THE HEAT IS ENOUGH TO MAKE YOUR LEGS SWEAT. UPON FINDING THE SOURCE I BURNT MY FINGER ON A PIPE THAT IS BEHIND THE CONSOLE WITH NOW INSULATION OR WRAPPING. IT MAKES THE JUKE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE AS IT'S ALWAYS HOT. I ALSO FEEL THERE SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED PARTS THAT CAN BURN. DEALER SAID THEY CONTACTED NISSAN BUT IT HAS BEEN 3 WEEKS AND NO RESPONSE FROM DEALER OR NISSAN. *TR
