Vehicle continues to rev engine high upon starting. Causing service engine light & traction control warning light to turn on. Does so after sitting. No one has been able to diagnose. Once codes are cleared, light do not go back in for days/weeks. Little acceleration will occurs. Engine seems to over heat in hotter weather. This was after sitting in park for a min. Of 3 hours. Never after driving.

I have Change the battery every year for the last 3 years at no charge from Nissan. This year the battery acid came out and make some damages , which Nissan fixed at no charge due to (Collateral damage) Car stops accelerating out of nowhere even with the battery exchange Yes, Nissan service center has confirm that my car is not the only one having this issues , even there's cars that get battery exchange every 8 months . Nissan service center has checked this issue, but they just rather change the battery instead of checking why this is happening . decrease of acceleration starts around month 9 or 10, the difference right know is that even with the battery exchange is still happening.

MY 2017 AWD JUKE HAS ONLY 16,000 MILES ON IT AND ALREADY NEEDS THE FRONT TIRES REPLACED. THE BACK TIRES LOOK ALMOST NEW. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED AND WAS TOLD THEY ARE TOO WORN TO ROTATE AND WOULD NEED TO BUY 4 NEW TIRES. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THE CAR WOULD NOT START SOMETIMES. IT IS PUSH BUTTON START. I NOTICED THE GREEN KEY LIGHT FLASHING ON THE DASH. AFTER READING THE MANUEL, I REPLACED THE BATTERY IN THE FOB. THAT DID NOT RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL NOT ENGAGE TO START THE CAR. IT IS CURRENTLY PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW WE WILL BE ABLE TO MOVE IT SINCE IT CAN NOT BE PUT IN GEAR WITHOUT BEING TURNED ON.

THE BREAK SENSOR IS FAULTY ON JUKES. YOUR VEHICLE WILL BE IN PARK BUT THE CAR IS NOT REGISTERING THIS, THUS YOU CAN NOT TURN THE CAR ON WITHOUT "JIGGLING" THE WIRES THAT LEAD TO THE BREAK SENSOR. HAVE HAD THE SENSOR REPLACED BEFORE AND THIS STILL CONTINUES TO HAPPEN.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2017 Nissan Juke verdict →
