What 57 owners told NHTSA about the 2014 Nissan Juke

I BROUGHT MY JUKE INTO NISSAN FOR AN OIL CHANGE. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE BACK THAT NIGHT I BEGAN HAVING ISSUES STARTING THE CAR. INITIALLY I THOUGHT THE KEY NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. I SPENT THE MONEY BOUGHT A SECOND KEY AND THE THERE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. THE START/STOP ENGINE BUTTON ON THE CAR ONLY STARTS THE CAR AFTER MULTIPLE TRIES. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE WITH THE START/STOP BUTTON. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUAL PROBLEM AND HAS LEFT ME STRANDED BECAUSE THE CAR WILL NOT START BACK UP. THE BATTERY IS BRAND NEW, I HAVE A BRAND NEW KEY, AND THE BREAK PEDAL CENSOR IS GOOD.

VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 25000 MILES. WHEN TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS AND A COUPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AT LOW SPEEDS THERE IS A CLUNKING/CLICKING NOISE. IT SEEMS TO DO IT MOSTLY WHILE BRAKING. I'M THINKING EITHER THE TIE ROD ENDS OR MAYBE CV AXLE. I DON'T THINK A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 75,000 MILES SHOULD HAVE FAILING SUSPENSION PARTS. THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM/RADIO SCREEN HAS GONE BLACK A COUPLE TIMES WITH NO COMMUNICATION FROM ANY BUTTONS. I COULDN'T TURN IT ON OR OFF, OR OPERATE ANY RADIO STATIONS. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TERMINALS FOR A COUPLE MINUTES AND THAT SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR NOW. ALSO, THE STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS TO CHANGE THE STATION/VOLUME SEEM TO WORK ONLY WHEN THEY WANT TO. AND THE VOLUME WILL SOMETIMES ERRATICALLY TURN EXTREMELY LOUD OR LOW WITH THE SLIGHTEST TURN OR THE KNOB/ONE OR TWO PUSHES OF THE BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN PARKED/AT LOW SPEEDS, OPERATING THE WINDOWS WILL CAUSE A DROP IN RPMS. THE AUTO UP FOR THE DRIVER WINDOW NO LONGER WORKS, WHILE THE AUTO DOWN STILL DOES. THE CAR IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION NISMO. IT HAS LOW MILES FOR THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING ELECTRICAL AND SUSPENSION ISSUES AT THE MILEAGE/AGE OF THE VEHICLE. I'VE READ THAT MULTIPLE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE NAV SCREEN. ALSO, I'VE READ MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDOWS CAUSING RPM TO DROP. I HAVEN'T LOOKED INTO THE CLUNKING NOISE MUCH YET, BUT I'M SURE THERE ARE PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS I AM. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I TRUST NISSANS BRAND AND KNOW THEY ARE EXCELLENT CARS THAT CAN BE DRIVEN FOR MANY YEARS AND MILES. IF YOU COULD PLEASE LOOK INTO THESE ISSUES AND FIND A SOLUTION IT WOULD MAKE MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL BE MORE COMFORTABLE IN THEIR CARS AND HAVE FAITH THAT THEY AREN'T GOING TO BREAK DOWN/ HAVE TO DUMP LOADS OF UNNECESSARY MONEY INTO IT.

I LIVE IN ARIZONA; IT IS END OF APRIL AND YESTERDAY TEMPERATURES WERE 99-100 DEGREES. COMING BACK FROM PHOENIX ON HIGHWAY GOING 75MPH, RPM WAS AT 4000; ENGINE REVVING HIGH AND WOULD NOT COME DOWN- VERY LOUD AND NOISY. UPON GOING UP HILL, CAR STARTED TO AUTOMATICALLY SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN, FIRST TO 40 MPH, THEN TO 25MPH. AT THIS POINT I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AS MY CAR CONTINUED TO SLOW TO 20 MPH. ALL OF THIS WHILE MY FOOT WAS PRESSED COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR OF THE GAS PEDAL! ABSOLUTELY NO POWER! SAT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR A FEW MINUTES BUT KEPT ENGINE RUNNING. ONCE I STARTED ON THE ROAD AGAIN, TRANY SEEMED TO "KICK IN" AND I WAS ABLE TO GO 40 MPH IN A MATTER OF MINUTES WITH REGULAR RPM AND NO NOISE. I STOPPED AT THE GAS STATION 3 MILES AHEAD AND LET THE VEHICLE REST FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME WAS 7 MONTHS PRIOR IN THE HOTTER MONTH OF SEPTEMBER IN ARIZONA WHERE TEMPERATURES REACH WELL INTO 110. SAME SCENERIO OF TRAVELING LONG DISTANCE- 75-80 MILES, PUSHING THE VEHICLE TO 75MPH ON FREEWAY, GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND LOSING POWER. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS FRIGHTENING BECAUSE I WAS ON BUSY FREEWAY, LOTS OF TRAFFIC, AND SUDDENLY NO POWER WITH VEHICLE DECELERATING TO 60, THEN 50MPH WITH KIDS IN THE CAR. PROBLEM RESOLVED WHEN I GOT OFF FREEWAY AND LET THE CAR REST. BOTH TIMES THERE WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT. YESTERDAY WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY WERE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I CAME HOME I GOOGLED MY SCENERIO AND DISCOVERED THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG NISSAN OWNERS WITH CVT TRANSMISSION. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL OR BULLETIN ON THIS WITH A FIX??

MY JUKE HAS BEEN DECECLERATING WHILE IN HIGHWAY DOING 75MPH AND HAS BEEN JUMPING GEARS WHICH ALL HAD BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR AND WAS NOT FOUND UNTIL TODAY THAT THE ENTIRE VALVE BODY CONTROL IN THE TRANSMISSION WHICH CONTROLS CVT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AS MY CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH LESS THEN 130000 MILES. I HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY UNTIL 120000 AND CONTINUOUSLY REPORTED THIS TO DEALERSHIP DURING EACH SERVICE WHICH THEY NEVER COULD DIAGNOSE AND FOUND TODAY TELLING ME THE COST TO FIX IT AND REPLACE AND RESOLVE THESE ISSUES IS OVER $1800. MY JUKE HAS HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS ON TOP OF THESE ISSUES ALL TO DO WITH SAFETY OVER THE YEARS AND SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED AND NOT RECALLED BY NISSAN WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE, UNSAFE, AND A LEGAL ISSUE WHICH I WILL POSSIBLY BE PURSUING DUE TO THE SEVERAL ACCIDENTS I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THROUGHOUT THE YEARS WHICH THESE PROBLEMS WERE ALSO PRESENT AND NOT RESOLVED DUE TO NO SAFETY RECALLS BEING ON FILE WITH NISSAN. MY CAR HAS ALSO SHUT OFF TWICE WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND STOPPED ACCELERATING ON HIGHWAY SEVERAL TIMES ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS. OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THESE SAME ISSUES AND NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN DONE ALTHOUGH THE JUKE ALSO STOPPED BEING MADE IN 2015 RIGHT AFTER I PURCHASED MINE BRAND NEW. I HAVE KEPT UP ON ALL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE THROUGHOUT THE YEARS AND FEES THAT THESE ISSUES ARE UNACCEPTABLE, UNSAFE, AND ALL WHICH I WILL BE REPORTING TO BETTER BUSINESS HERESY, NISSAN, AND EXPLORING LEGAL CASE IF NISSAN DOES NOT LOOK INTO RECALLING THESE SEVERAL SAFETY HAZARDS ON THE 2014-2015 JUKES, INCLUDING MY JUKE. I WANT A RESOLUTION AND NOT TO HAVE TO PAY FOR THESE SAFETY CONCERNS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND RESOLVED AND STILL HAVE NOT BEEN TO THIS DATE OF TODAY WHERE ISSUE WAS IDENTIFIED, SEE ATTACHMENT.

WHEN I'M AT A STOPLIGHT MY CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL OUT MY RPMS ARE BOUNCING BETWEEN 500 AND 800. I WAS AT THE CARWASH ONE DAY AND AS YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR CAR IN NEUTRAL WHEN THE CAR WASH IS IN PROCESS. WHEN I WENT TO GO SHIFT INTO DRIVE PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE IT FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT. ALSO WHEN IT'S JUST WARMING UP IN THE GARAGE MY RPMS BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN 500 AND 800 RPMS. AND WHEN I GO ROLL UP MY WINDOWS I GET A REALLY BAD ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE LIKE IT'S GOING TO DIE OUT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT OR THEY DON'T KNOW WHY MY RPMS ARE BOUNCING UP AND DOWN LIKE THAT THEY RESET MY IDLE CONTROL SYSTEM AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED I CHANGED OUT THE BATTERY PUT A BRAND NEW BATTERY IN IT HOPING IT WOULD CHANGE THE PROBLEM AND NOTHING HAPPENED. WHEN DRIVING SOMETIMES WHEN MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT HAND TURN AFTER MAKING A STOP AND I GO TO ACCELERATE. IT FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN.

THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY DEFECTS, BUT I HAVE HEARD SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING. HOW DOES ANYONE BURN THROUGH A CLUTCH IN 5000 MILES. IT'S CRAZY. THAT'S MY COMPLAINT. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF WORK DONE ON THE CAR TO FIX PROBLEM IF NEEDED.

MY 2014 NISSAN JUKE IS GETTING A LEAKING FUEL PRESSURE CENSOR REPLACED, BUT I THINK IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID:14V683000. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT NISSAN IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH PART OR DESIGN. THERE IS DEFINITELY A FIRE HAZARD.

MY NISSAN JUKE 2014 AWD VAPOR LOCKED IN HOT WEATHER. THE DEALER WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME TO USE 91 OR HIGHER OCTANE GAS AND NOT TO FILL THE TANK WHEN REFUELING. THEY ALSO REPROGRAMMED THE CAR. THOUGH THE DEALER TOOK GREAT CARE OF ME THE EXPLANATION SEEMED STRANGE. THE CAR WAS SIMPLY TURNING OFF WHEN IDLING. IT HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE, BUT I AM NOW MORE FEARFUL DRIVING IT.

NISSAN JUKE OWNERS ARE REPORTING OVER THE INTERNET THAT THE CAR SUFFERS FROM A DEFECTIVE ALTERNATOR OR BATTERY THAT CAUSES THE CAR TO LOSE POWER DURING NORMAL DRIVING IN HOT WEATHER. TEMPS ARE IN THE 100S IN CA RIGHT NOW 06/20/17. I PURCHASED MY JUKE A WEEKS AGO. IT DROVE FINE WHEN I DID THE INITIAL 3 TEST DRIVES BEFORE BUYING IT. IT WAS NOT UNTIL I ACTUALLY DROVE THE CAR SOME RESPECTABLE MILES THAT I NOTICED THAT THIS CAR HAS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS TRIGGERED WHEN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS ARE MET: #1. DRIVING IN HOT TEMPS ON THE FWY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC IF THE OPERATOR ROLLS THE WINDOW DOWN WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL REACT BY SHUTTERING WHEN THE WINDOWS ARE ROLLED DOWN OR IF YOU HOLD DOWN THE BUTTON. ONCE THIS IS TRIGGERED THE CAR MOVES AT A SNAILS PACE FOR THE REST OF THE TIME. #2 IF YOU TURN YOUR AC ON IN AUTO MODE IN HOT WEATHER ~100 C OR MORE FOR LONGER THAN AN HOUR WHILE DRIVING IN HOT WEATHER AND STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY LOSE POWER IN AN UN-SAFE MANNER THAT COULD CAUSE A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. IT IS NOT UNTIL YOU TURN OFF THE AC THAT THE CAR WILL SLOWLY START TO GAIN POWER PACK AFTER THE ISSUE IS TRIGGERED. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE COMMON AMONGST JUKE OWNERS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED BOTH ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION AND TO BE HONEST NISSAN SHOULD HAVE DONE THEIR DUE DILIGENCE BY RECALLING THE NISSAN JUKE. IT APPEARS FROM WHAT I HAVE READ AND TO THE PEOPLE FROM NISSAN THAT I SPOKE WITH THE JUKE WAS SPECCED WITH THE WEAK BATTERY AND WEAK ALTERNATOR THAT ARE BOTH AFFECTED BY HEAT SOAK WHICH TRIGGERS THE CAR TO GO INTO SAFE MODE TO PROTECT THE ENGINE FROM DAMAGE.
