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
