VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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

STRUCTURE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON A MAJOR TOLLWAY FREEWAY IN HOUSTON, TEXAS AT ABOUT 5:30 IN THE MORNING. A ROCK FLEW UP AND HIT MY PASSENGER SIDE FOGLIGHT AND SHATTERED IT. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR THREE WEEKS PRIOR. I FEEL THAT THIS WILL BE A CONSTANT PROBLEM. WHOEVER DECIDED TO PUT GLASS FOGLIGHTS LOW IN THE FRONT IS NOT VERY SMART. ENGINEERINGLY SPEAKING THESE FOGLIGHTS ARE NOT TILTED TO HELP WITH THE IMPACT OF DEBRIS ON A FREEWAY. THEY SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS A LITTLE MORE WHEN THEY MADE THEM. NOT TO MENTION, I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW. I DID NOT EXPECT ANY PROBLEMS SO SOON. I DID NOT PURCHASE AND EXTENDED WARRANTY, I FIGURED THE CAR WOULD BE COVERED, BEING THAT IT WAS NEW. I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND OUT THE FOGLIGHT ALONE IS $175.00 AND THE LABOR IS ANOTHER 300.00 DOLLARS. THIS SEEMS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON TO SPEND WHEN I JUST GAVE THEM $ 21,000.00 NOT MORE THAN SIX WEEKS AGO. I HAVE SINCE THEN PARKED MY BRAND NEW CAR IN THE GARAGE AND AM DRIVING MY OLD RELIABLE VEHICLE. NOT ONLY CAN I NOT AFFORD A NEW FOGLIGHT EVERY TIME A ROCK HITS MY CAR, BUT I AM THOROUGHLY DISSATISFIED. THE COMPANY WILL NOT COVER IT. I FEEL JILTED. THE PROBLEM WITH THE FOGLIGHT IS FOUR FOLD- IT IS MADE OF GLASS, IT WILL TAKE HALF A DAY FOR AND EXPERIENCE MECHANIC FROM THE DEALER ONLY TO REPLACE THIS BULB, THEY HAVE TO TEAR INTO OTHER PARTS ON THIS NISSAN JUST TO CHANGE THE BULB, THE LIGHTS ARE NOT TILTED SO ROCKS WILL ALWAYS BE A DIRECT IMPACT SHATTER. MAYBE THEY COULD CHANGE THE STYLE TO ONE PANEL LIKE THE OLD 2005 CARS. IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE A SINGLE BULB KIT. I HOPING WITH THIS LETTER THAT ATLEAST, THE MANUFACTURERS WILL CHANGE THIS SOMEHOW. EITHER MAKE THE FOGLIGHTS OUT OF SOME KIND OF PLASTIC, OR CHANGE THE BUMPER ALTOGETHER, SO THE LIGHTS ARE AT THE TOP, NEAR THE HOOD OF THE CAR. I AM SO SAD! *TR

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
AS THE WEATHER GOT WARMER I TRIED TO USE MY AC AND IT JUST BLEW HOT AIR. I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF VEHICLES AND ASSUMED BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD TURNED IT ON I WOULD HAVE TO LET IT GET BROKEN IN. SO THE NEXT HOT DAY CAME AND AGAIN I TURNED MY AC ON AND NO COOL AIR. SO I CONTACTED MY DEALER. I INFORMED THEM OF MY SITUATION AND I TOOK IT IN. I THEN WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THAT I HAD A ROCK IN MY AC CONDENSER. OF COURSE I WAS SO UPSET WHEN THEY SAID IT WOULD BE 800$ TO REPAIR THIS. SO I HAVE BEEN LOOKING INTO THIS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE JUKES BEING THAT THE OPENINGS NEXT TO THE FOG LIGHTS HAVE NO SCREENS AND THE CONDENSER IS COMPLETELY EXPOSED. I HAVE FOUND MANY BLOGS WHERE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE JUST HAS HAD TO EAT THE COST OF REPLACING THE PARTS AND COST OF LABOR. I JUST WANT THIS TO BE AWARE BECAUSE THIS WAS MY FIRST EVER NEW CAR AND I AM HAVING A BAD EXPERIENCE. *JS

ENGINE
TIMING CHAIN BLEW WHILE I WAS DRIVING WHICH IS CURRENTLY A SERVICE CAMPAIGN ISSUED BY NISSAN. IT ALSO BLEW THE ENGINE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. WHILE THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS TO THE ENGINE SIMPLY BECAUSE IT FALLS UNDER THE WARRANTY (NOT BECAUSE THEIR FAULTY PART BLEW THE ENGINE) THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO PAY FOR MY RENTAL OR GIVE ME A LOANER. THEY ALSO ARE NOT GIVING ME AN END DATE. SO THEIR ISSUE IS COSTING ME $60 A DAY. I'M ALREADY UP TO $600 IN RENTAL CHARGES WITH NO END DATE IN SIGHT. NISSAN ALSO HASN'T FOLLOWED UP WITH ME TO TELL ME WHEN THE ISSUE WILL BE RECTIFIED. IT IS UNDRIVEABLE AND SITTING AT BERTERA NISSAN IN AUBURN, MA. HELP! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
I HAVE A 2011 NISSAN JUKE ( PURCHASED BRAND NEW) WHEN DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THE CAR STARTED TO IDLE WEIRD AND THEN JUST DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THANK GOD I WASN'T HIT BY ANYONE OR IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. TOWED IT A TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE THERE TOLD ME THE TIMING CHAIN BELT BROKE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME THE NEXT MORNING STATING THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE AND THAT THEY WERE ISSUING A RECALL FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM, SO THERE WOULD BE NO COST TO ME. AFTER A WEEK OF MY CAR BEING AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THEY CALLED AND SAID THE CAR WAS REPAIRED AND GOOD TO GO! I PICKED THE CAR UP AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE HOME BUT NEVER MADE IT OUT OF THE PARKING LOT! JUKE DID THE SAME EXACT THING IT DID WHEN I ORIGINALLY HAD IT TOWED IN! THE JUKE WENT BACK INTO THE SHOP THAT NIGHT. NEXT MORNING THE SERVICE MANAGER FROM NISSAN CALLS TO TELL ME THAT DUE TO THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE METAL SHAVING HAVE NOW GOTTEN INTO MY ENGINE CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE POINT THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED! SINCE IT WAS DUE TO THE RECALL, IT WILL BE OF NO COST TO ME...HOWEVER NISSAN CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THE NEW ENGINE WON'T HAVE THE SAME ISSUES?!!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ISSUE WITH THIS JUKE! FIRST MONTH I HAD IT THE ENTIRE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAD TO BE REPLACED! I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AFTER IT FAILED.....PLUS NUMEROUS BATTERY ISSUES, AND THE CAR IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD! AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST NISSAN RIGHT NOW AS THEY WERE AWARE OF THESE ISSUES AND DID NOTHING ABOUT IT! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? OR LEGAL? COME ON, NISSAN! GET IT TOGETHER. SAFETY SHOULD BE YOUR #1 PRIORITY....BUT APPARENTLY CONCEALING POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING RECALLS IS MORE IMPORTANT. TO SAY THE LEAST, I WILL NEVER, EVER, BUY ANOTHER NISSAN, AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU OR ANYONE YOU CARE ABOUT. *TR

MY CAR DEVELOPED A TICKING SOUND, UPON RESEARCH AND HAVING A MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT, THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACE, BEING THAT THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW ONLY 3 YEARS, IT SHOULD NOT ALREADY DEVELOPED SUCH A MAJOR ISSUE. IF THE TIMING CHAIN SNAPS THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF MOST LIKELY REQUIRE A ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS IN HIGHWAYS AND ROADS WHILE DRIVING. *TR

MY 2011 NISSAN JUKE HAS 28,000 MILES ON IT. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO I START TO HEAR THIS RATTLE NOISE COMING FROM MY ENGINE. I MAKE AN APPT TO FIND OUT ABOUT THIS NOISE AND FOR MY STATE INSPECTION TO BE DONE. WELL, A FEW DAYS BEFORE MY APPT MY JUKE COMPLETELY STALLED ON ME WHILE DRIVING AROUND 40-45MPH ON A BUSY TWO LANE ROAD. I ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED BUT LUCKILY THEY STOPPED JUST IN TIME. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AT ALL. IT JUST STOPPED! I GET IT TOWED TO MY DEALERSHIP AND FIND OUT I NEED A BRAND NEW ENGINE ($9,050) BECAUSE MY TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND RIPPED MY ENGINE APART. I GO ONLINE AND FIND OUT THAT NISSAN HAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM RIGHT NOW FOR TIMING CHAIN ISSUES, BUT THEY REFUSE TO ISSUE A RECALL. EVEN MORE RESEARCH IS DONE AND I'M BEYOND MAD AT THIS POINT. NOW NISSAN TELLS ME THAT THEY WON'T COVER IT WITH MY 5YR/60,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY BECAUSE I CAN'T PRODUCE 8-9 SERVICE RECORDS OF OIL CHANGES AND "SLUDGE" IS WHAT BROKE MY ENGINE AT 28,000. JUST DOING SOME MATH, FOR ME TO EVEN HAVE 8-9 SERVICE RECORDS MEANS I WOULD HAVE NEEDED TO CHANGE MY OIL (AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID) ABOUT EVERY 3 MONTHS!!!! SO NOW I'M STUCK WITH A 2011 PIECE OF JUNK AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY OVER $9,000 EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE AND IT WAS THE FAULTY TIMING CHAIN THAT BROKE AND RIPPED APART MY ENGINE. BUT BECAUSE I CAN'T PROVIDE 8-9 SERVICE RECORDS (WHICH IS CRAZY) THEY GET OFF SCOTT-FREE! I'VE BEEN RIPPED OFF COMPLETELY AND SOLD A LEMON. THIS IS SO UNFAIR!!!! I WILL BE JOINING THAT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT! *TR

MY JUKE BEGAN TO HAVE A TICKING/CLICKING SOUND IN THE MOTOR WHICH SOUNDED WORSE WITH ACCELERATION. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY FIRST TOLD ME IT WAS THE EXHAUST, THEN LATER TOLD ME IT IS TIMING CHAIN AND DAMAGE TO MOTOR DONE WHICH WOULD REQUIRE REPLACEMENT MOTOR BUT APPROVAL FROM A DISTRICT MANAGER WAS NEEDED PRIOR TO PROCEEDING ON THE WARRANTY WORK. ALTHOUGH STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND ABLE TO SHOW RECEIPTS FOR SERVICE DATES, THEY TOLD ME THEY MAY VOID MY WARRANTY FOR NOT HAVING A NISSAN BRAND OIL FILTER ON THE JUKE. I CALLED TO CHECK ION MY ENGINE REPLACEMENT THE NEXT DAY AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE WAITING ON PARTS AND THAT THE TENSIONER BROKE OFF AND THE TIMING CHAIN WAS RUBBING THE MOTOR BUT THEY WILL REPLACE WORN PARTS INSTEAD OF ENTIRE MOTOR AND THAT THE RUBBING ON THE MOTOR WOULD NOT ALTER THE FUNCTIONING OF THE MOTOR. ONE WEEK LATER, STILL WAITING ON MY CAR AND PAYING FOR A DAILY RENTAL. THIS IS MY 8TH NISSAN OWNED. AND THE SECOND TO HAVE ENGINE PROBLEMS (2006 ALTIMA WITH BLOWN ENGINE AT 147,000 MILES). PURCHASED JUKE OCTOBER 2010 AND IT IS DRIVEN ONLY BY MYSELF AND AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 65MPH MOST DAYS. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF THESE TIMING CHAINS AND COMPONENTS WHICH HOLD IT ALL TOGETHER. STILL OWE 11,000 ON MY JUKE AND AM WORRIED ABOUT THE FUTURE RELIABILITY AND SAFETY FOR MY TRAVELS IN IT. *TT

I WAS DRIVING OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD AS USUAL WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER GOING UPHILL AT 25 MPH. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP A WEEK LATER AND THEY SAID THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF A TIMING CHAIN FAILURE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A STRANGE INCIDENT SINCE THERE WEREN'T MANY OTHER JUKES WITH THE MILEAGE I HAD ON MINE. I WAS BARELY 2 YEARS INTO MY CAR LOAN AND ALREADY HAD TO DISH OUT $7K FOR A NEW ENGINE. I OPTED OUT OF HAVING THE CAR REPAIRED SO LAST YEAR AND HAD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR FOR WORK. I HAD A 4 YEAR LOAN ON THE CAR AND HALF OF THAT PERIOD THE CAR WILL HAVE BEEN THE CAR SITTING DEAD IN THE GARAGE. *JS

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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

MY JUKE CAUGHT ON FIRE THIS MORNING! IT ONLY HAS 32,400 MILES ON IT AND I AM LEFT WITH NO CAR AND LITTLE INTEREST FROM NISSAN. I DID SMELL GAS BUT DID NOT THINK MUCH OF IT. MY SON IS ON DIALYSIS 3 DAYS A WEEK AND AT FIRST THE CORPORATION TOLD ME I WOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR A RENTAL CAR FOR THREE DAYS BUT BEFORE THE CALL CONCLUDED THEY CHANGED THEIR MIND TELLING ME IT WAS PENDING DECISION. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2011-2012 JUKE FUEL INJECTED ENGINE DUE TO FUEL MAY LEAK FROM THE PRESSURE SENSOR, INCREASING THE RISK OF A FIRE, THAT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF. NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011-2012 JUKE, INFINITI QX AND INFINITI M VEHICLES. THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSORS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED TO THE CORRECT SPECIFICATION. AS A RESULT, THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR MAY LOOSEN DUE TO HEAT AND VIBRATION CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK. THEY TRIED TO TELL ME THAT MY CAR WAS ONE THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN FIXED....SO, THEN WHY AM I LEFT WALKING IN THE SUBZERO TEMPERATURES? *TR
