FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN JUKE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT LOVING NISSAN (1433 S MEDFORD DR., LUFKIN, TX 75901, (936) 634-4488) FOR AN UNKNOWN NHTSA CAMPAIGN, BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FUEL WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000. **TR CORRECT INFO: THE 2012 JUKE STARTED A TICKING SOUND WHEN RUNNING. HAD THE OIL CHANGED PER 3 MONTH TIME ON JULY 14TH, 0 TICKING FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS THEN TICKING SOUND UNDER THE HOOD AGAIN. SCHEDULED SERVICE APPT FOR 8/31/18. THE SERVICE DEPT SAID NEEDED TIME CHAIN REPLACED. WENT BACK, NOTED TIMING CHAIN REPLACED PER RECALL ON 4/6/15 @MILEAGE 6/05. 8/3/18 MILEAGE 111830- TIMING CHAIN ONLY LASTED 50,779 MILES COUNT. THE PART ONLY LAST 50,779 MILES @ DOCUMENTATION, BUT HAS BEEN TICKING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. I HAVE SPOKEN AND NIACIN NORTH AMERICA, THEY ONLY WARRANTY FOR 12 MONTHS OR 12,000 MILES ON REPLACED PARTS. THIS JUKE WAS RUNNING FINE BEFORE TIMING CHAIN REPLACED. ALSO, I HAD THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. THIS TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO LAST MORE THAN 50,000 MILES. WE ALSO HAVE RECEIPTS FROM WHERE WE DID HAVE THE OIL CHANGED. THAT WAS ALSO A QUESTION- THE DEALERSHIP SAID MUST HAVE NOT CHANGED OIL- SO THAT'S WHY TIMING CHAIN FAILED SO SOON, I WAS TOLD IF THE TIMING CHAIN SNAPS- THE CARDIAC WHILE DRIVING!! UPDATED 11/8/18*JB

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR ON MY JUKE HAS GONE BAD AND I AM BEING TOLD THAT MY CAR IS NOT PART OF ANY RECALL. SOOOO MANY OTHER JUKES HAVE BEEN ON THE RECALL AND THEY WON'T FIX MY PROBLEM. THEY WON'T IS DIAGNOS THE PROBLEM UNLESS I PAY THEM $140 TO SCAN MY JUKE. MY GAS MILEAGE SUCKS AND I SMELL GAS IN THE CAB OCASSIONALLY. I CONTACTED NISSAN DIRECTLY AND GOT A EMAIL BACK TELLING ME MY CAR IS NOT IN THE RECALL AND I WOULD NEED TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN TO DIAGNOSE WHAT I ALREADY KNOW IS THE PROBLEM. I'M REALLY SURPRISED NISSAN ISN'T MORE CONCERNED WITH THIS. I REMEMBER FIRESTORM AND FORD AND A LOT OF LAWSUITS AND DEATHS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE HAS BEEN IDLING A LITTLE WEIRD FOR A FEW WEEKS AND YESTERDAY MY JUKE HESITATED A LITTLE BEFORE STARTING. AFTER THIS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AND I GOT 2 CODES BECAUSE OF IT P0090 AND P0087. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT THESE CODES COME UP FROM A FAULTY FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED A FEW DIFFERENT TIMES. WHEN I INQUIRED FROM THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME MY CAR HAD NO RECALLS AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY ALMOST $140 FROM THEM JUST TO TELL ME WHAT MIGHT NEED TO BE FIXED. I CAN SMELL GAS WHILE THE CAR IS IDLING IN MY GARAGE AND MY CAR HAS TROUBLES SHIFTING AND STARTING. JUKE IS A 2012 WITH ABOUT 56K MILES ON IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2012 NISSAN JUKE AND ABOUT A MONTH AGO THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR POWER LOCK STARTED TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. AFTER ANOTHER WEEK THE DOOR LOCK COMPLETED QUIT WORKING. THAN ANOTHER WEEK LATER THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR LOCK QUIT WORKING. SO TWO POWER DOOR LOCKS QUIT WORKING IN THE SAME MONTH. NOW THE DOORS WON'T LOCK OR UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY. THE ALARM STILL SETS ON THE CAR BUT THE DOOR WILL STILL OPEN AND START THE ALARM (REALLY ANNOYING). I AM A LITTLE CONCERNED THAT IF I NEEDED QUICK ACCESS IN OR OUT OF THE CAR I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO WHICH RISKS MY SAFETY AND WHOEVER IS SITTING BEHIND THE DRIVER. I JUST THINK THIS MUST BE A REALLY CHEAP FAULTY PART IF TWO WENT OUT THE SAME MONTH. AND THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY SORT OF ACCIDENTS.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE PEDAL BUILDS UP PRESSURE, STICKS, AND IS NOT ABLE TO BE PRESSED DOWN TO START THE VEHICLE. ALL OF THE LIGHTS WILL TURN ON BUT THE ENGINE WILL NOT START. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL NOT SIGNAL AT THAT TIME AS WELL. IN GETTING A JUMP START, THE VEHICLE IS ABLE TO START. AFTER THIS OCCURS, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STILL RUNNING, WHENEVER THE CAR IS AT A STOP AND THE BRAKE IS PRESSED, IT SHAKES INTERMITTENTLY. THE BATTERY AS WELL AS THE BRAKE SWITCH HAVE BEEN TESTED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND BOTH ARE IN WORKING ORDER. THE INABILITY TO START THE VEHICLE HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN PUBLIC PLACES AND AT THE HOME WHERE THE VEHICLE IS KEPT. THE SHAKING OF THE CAR UPON BRAKING HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR HAS TROUBLE STARTING.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2012 NISSAN JUKE HAS A VERY STRONG GASOLINE ODOR WHENEVER THE CAR IS STARTED. THE ODOR DISSIPATES WHILE ON THE ROAD, BUT IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME AND THEN RE-STARTED, THE ODOR RETURNS. THIS BEGAN A FEW MONTHS AGO, BUT WAS VERY INTERMITTENT INITIALLY. NOW IT IS VERY FREQUENT.

SEATS
THE BACK SEAT, WHICH CAN FOLD DOWN, DOES NOT LATCH TO THE ATTACHMENT, AS DESIGNED. THIS SEAT CAN LUNGE FORWARD, WHICH COULD BE HAZARDOUS TO A PASSENGER OR EVEN THE DRIVER. THIS IS PROBLEMATIC, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THE BRAKES NEED TO BE ENGAGED QUICKLY'THE UNLATCHED SEAT SLAMS FORWARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN I'VE HAD TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES QUICKLY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT, IT PROPELS FORWARD THE UNLATCHED BACK SEAT.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE HAD MY ROTORS REPLACED TWICE WITHIN 8-12 MONTHS OF PUTTING NEW BRAKE PADS ON. THE ROTORS ARE AGAIN IN BAD SHAPE 6 MONTHS AFTER PUTTING CERAMIC BRAKES ON 7 MONTHS AGO. MY REAR EXHAUST DISINTEGRATED AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO NISSAN FOR A QUOTE THEY INFORMED ME MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAD A 50/50 CHANCE OF GOING. MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR SUBSTANTIALLY LESS AND SHOWED ME THE CORRODED FLANGE TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND ALSO SAID IT WAS BAD. THERE IS NOW A WHISTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE INSIDE OF THE CAR BY THE WINDSHIELD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK IN TO NISSAN TO IDENTIFY THAT ISSUE AND REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THEY COULDN'T "RECREATE" THE WHISTLING NOISE WHICH I'VE CAPTURED ON MY CELL PHONE. AND THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON AND THEIR COMPUTER DID NOT FLAG A PROBLEM WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I HAVE PUT OVER $6,000 IN REPAIRS ABOVE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IT WILL EVEN MAKE IT TO 100,000 MILES. A 2012 VEHICLE WITH 58,000 MILES IS A STEP UP FROM A NEW VEHICLE. I AM NOT WILLING TO KEEP MAKING REPAIRS ON A VEHICLE THAT IS FALLING APART PREMATURELY. I ASKED NISSAN FOR COMPENSATION TOWARDS ANOTHER VEHICLE (USED IS FINE) WITH LITTLE TO NO OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. THEY ONLY CONSIDER A BUY BACK OF A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE AND THAT INVESTIGATION ONLY CONSIDERS REPAIRS DONE AT NISSAN SERVICE CENTERS. THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT DOCUMENTATION FROM OTHER REPAIR SHOPS. I HAVE ALREADY PUT IN TWO COMPLAINTS WITH NISSAN AND THEY OFFER NO SOLUTIONS. THIS IS AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF REPAIRS FOR A 2012 NISSAN JUKE I BOUGHT NEW WITH ONLY 58000 MILES ON IT. AND ITS UNACCEPTABLE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SMALL DROPS OF FUEL UNDER THE VEHICLE WERE SPOTTED AND WHEN THE AC/HEAT IS TURNED ON THERE IS A STRONG SMELL OF FUEL THAT ENTERS THE CABIN. THIS HAPPENS AT INITIAL START UP AFTER SITTING FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THE ODOR HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR ABOUT A YEAR, WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER THEY SAID MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALL CAMPAIGN AND TOLD ME SOME TURBO MODELS DO THAT. THE DROPS OF FUEL WAS RECENTLY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAD A GAS/EXHAUST SMELL COMING INTO MY CABIN OF VEHICLE AND FROM MY THE OUTSIDE OF MY VEHICLE. I TOOK TO MY MECHANIC, WHERE HE CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A GAS LEAK AND THAT NISSAN HAD RECALLS ON MY TYPE OF VEHICLE FOR THIS REASON. TOLD ME TO TAKE TO NISSAN DEALER FOR RECALL REPAIRS. THERE WERE TWO RECALL ID#: R1201 AND R1418. THE DEALERSHIP SAID MY VIN# DIDN'T HAVE A RECALL, DESPITE THE CONFIRMATION FROM MY MECHANIC THAT THERE WAS A LEAK. I CALLED NATIONAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPT NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, TALKED WITH AKASH #7319300, CASE # 29075850, WHERE I WAS TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE AND THAT I SHOULD HAVE IT FIXED AT MY COST. IT DIDN'T HAVE A RECALL, EVEN AFTER EXPLAINING EVERYTHING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THIS, BUT THEY WILL NOT LOOK OR FIX MY VEHICLE UNDER THE RECALL. IF MY TYPE OF VEHICLE HAS NOT 1 BUT 2 RECALLS ON IT FOR THIS ISSUE, HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ONE OF THEM? THE RECALL STATES ON THE ATTACHED DOCUMENTS, "IF YOU NOTICE A FUEL SMELL IN THE CABIN OF YOUR VEHICLE, PLEASE BRING YOUR VEHICLE INTO A NISSAN DEALER FOR REPAIRS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE." I DID THIS AND THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT.

ENGINE
MY DAUGHTER PURCHASED A USED 2012 NISSAN JUKE FROM A NISSAN DEALER IN 2014. RECENTLY, SHE HAD A VERY LARGE OIL LEAK. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO TOLD US THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE TIMING CHAIN COVER AND SOMETHING INSIDE IS RATTLING, BUT THEY CAN'T TELL WHAT IT IS UNTIL THEY OPEN THE CASE WHICH TAKES 6 HOURS. THEY ALSO SAID THEY NEED TO REBUILD THE CAMS AND ALL TOP SEALS IN THE CAMSHAFT AREA. I ASKED WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSE THIS AND WAS TOLD IT LOOKED LIKE FRICTION FROM THE BROKEN PART INSIDE CAUSED THE HOLE IN THE TIMING CHAIN COVER. I WAS TOLD THE CAMS AND SEALS NEEDED TO BE REDONE DUE TO LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE. THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVEN WITH THE OIL LEAK, WE WOULD HAVE NOTICED IN ON THE DRIVEWAY. THE OIL HAD JUST BEEN CHANGED A FEW WEEKS BEFORE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND SEVERAL REPUTABLE SOURCES SAYING THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR OF NISSAN JUKE HAS MANY INCIDENTS OF THE TIMING CHAIN STRETCHING AND DAMAGING THE COVER CAUSING OIL LEAKS AND ENGINE DAMAGE - A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE COST OF THE JOB IS $2,900. (PLUS RENTAL CAR) IT ALSO APPEARS NISSAN ISN'T ADDRESSING THE ISSUE AS WELL AS IT SHOULD (CONSUMER REPORTS). I'VE CALLED NISSAN USA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND AFTER SPEAKING WITH A REPRESENTATIVE, ASKED TO SPEAK WITH A SUPERVISOR. I WAS TOLD I'D GET A CALL BACK WITHIN 4-8 BUSINESS HOURS. IT'S NOW BEEN DOUBLE THAT TIME AND I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A CALL. IT APPEARS NISSAN KNOWS OF THIS DEFECT AND ISN'T WILLING TO REPAIR IT AFTER IT CAUSES DAMAGE OR AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES. I FEEL THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!

AIR BAGS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 NISSAN JUKE. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 45 MPH, SHE CLIPPED A STOPPED VEHICLE ON THE REAR DRIVE SIDE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER'S VEHICLE ROLLED OVER. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DAUGHTER SUSTAINED MULTIPLE SKULL FRACTURES AND RIGHT SKULL DAMAGE, WHICH REQUIRED SURGERY TO RELEASE PRESSURE ON THE BRAIN. SHE ALSO HAD DIFFICULTY HEARING AND THE LEFT SIDE OF HER FACE WAS PARALYZED. THE INJURIES TO THE OTHER OCCUPANTS WERE UNKNOWN. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT WHERE IT WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR DEALER TO DETERMINE THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,112.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2012 AND I HAVE PUT 5 NEW BATTERIES IN THIS CAR, . THE ADVERAGE LIFE SPAN IS 10 MONTHS. I JUST HAD THE CAR SERVICED AT 60K AND WITHIN 1 WEEK THE BATTERY WAS DEAD ( THE DEALER ADMITTED DID NOT TEST THE BATTERY AT THAT SERVICE) PUT NEW BATTERY IN DEAD IN 2 MONTHS. DEALER HAS NOT OFFERED ANY SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS. OTHERS OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND MODEL AND NO SOLUTION IS EVER OFFERED. SOMETHING IS DRAINING IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. YOU JUST DO NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL DIE. ALWAYS PARKED WHEN THE BATTERY DIES, I GET IT JUMPED AND IT STARTS. ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMES ON BUT THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER. I DRIVE THE CAR DAILY FOR LONG DISTANCES SO THE ALTENATOR WILL CHARGE.

POWER TRAIN
I HAD MY NISSAN JUKE AT THE DEALER AT 80,000 MILES TELLING THEM THAT THE RPM'S WERE GOING UP TO ABOUT 5000 BEFORE THE CAR COULD SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND THE CAR WOULD RANDOMLY BOG AND HESITATE. DID THIS WEATHER GOING UP HILL OR FLAT DRIVING AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 4 HRS. I DRIVE FOR A LIVING AND DRIVE ABOUT 5 HRS A DAY. THE DEALER TOOK IT IN AND HAD IT OVER 3 WKS AFTER DETERMINIG THAT IS WAS A TRANSMISSION DEFECT. THEY ORDERED ONE AND THE ONE THAT CAME IN AFTER BEING INSTALLED WOULDN'T ALLOW THE CAR TO GO OVER 40MPH. AGAIN DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION #2 AND IT HASN'T LEFT DEALER. FINALLY GET ANOTHER A MONTH AND A HALF AFTER BRING IT IN AND TELL ME THAT ONLY WARRENTEE LEFT WOULD BE THE REMAINDER OF MY 100,000. (WHICH GAVE ME ABOUT 20,000 MILES TO HOPE DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN) AND AT 97,000 JUST 17,000 MILES ON THE 3RD TRANSMISSION INSTALLED IS IT HAPPENING AGAIN. MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAS HAD IT THIS TIME FOR A MONTH ALREADY FINALLY DETERMINING IT'S DEFECT IN TRANSMISSION YET AGAIN SO NOW WE WAIT FOR THE OK FROM NISSAN TO REPLACE IT, WHICH I WAS TOLD THEY WERE GIVING THEM A HARD TIME BECAUSE IT WAS TECHNICALLY THE 4TH CVT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION INSTALLED ON MY JUKE IN LESS THEN A YEAR. THIS IS CRAZY THANK GOODNESS MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER IS NICE AND I GET A RENTAL BUT STILL MAKING PAYMENTS YET AGAIN ON A VEHICLE I DON'T HAVE DUE TO MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I OWN 7 NISSAN'S AND THIS IS THE LAST ONE THAT I WILL OWN WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I HAVE NO OTHER PROBLEMS WITH ANY OF MY OTHER NISSAN'S

POWER TRAIN
PURCHASED THE 2012 NISSAN JUKE NEW. AT 80,000+/- WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED LOOSING POWER. THE RPM GAUGE WAS SENDING THE RPM'S OVER 8 EACH TIME THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CAR WAS TAKEN TO CLOSEST MECHANIC DUE TO THE ISSUE WHEN PLUGGED INTO THE MACHINE TO DETECT THE ISSUE IT READ A CODE INDICATING IT WAS A SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION. TOOK AUTO TO NISSAN DEALER NEXT DAY (OVER 50 MILES FROM HOUSE) FOR SERVICE WITH THE ISSUE. DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY COULD NOT OBTAIN THAT CODE AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS OVER FILLED. CAR CONTINUES TO DO THIS ON A WEEKLY SOMETIMES DAILY BASIS OF LOOSING POWER AND WHEN ACCELERATING NOT ALLOWING THE CAR TO GO FASTER AND CAUSING THE RPM'S GO UP AN PAST 8. SEVERAL VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP ALL THE WHILE THE DEALERSHIP WAS INDICATING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS TOO FULL OR TOO LOW AND NOT THE SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION. IN 2014 VEHICLE WAS BACK AND DEALERSHIP FOR SAME ISSUE AND WAS TOLD TO FIND WHAT WAS WRONG SINCE I HAD BEEN GIVEN ONLY ANSWERS OF LOW OR HIGH TRANSMISSION FLUID. DEALERSHIP CALLED AND INDICATED THAT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT NOW 128,000 +/- MILES (ALL HIGHWAY DUE TO DISTANCE TO WORK). I HAD STATED THAT I BROUGHT IT IN WHILE THE DRIVE TRAIN WAS STILL COVERED AND NOW THAT I AM PAST THOSE MILES I NEED A TRANSMISSION. DEALER STATED FOR ME TO DRIVE THE CAR IT WAS NOT DANGEROUS AND TO COME IN WHEN IT WAS DOING IT SO THEY COULD PULL A LIVE CODE AND THEN SEND THE TRANSMISSION BACK TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR THEM TO REPLACE THAT IS WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. CAR CONTINUES TO LOOSE POWER (WHEN GOING UP HILL OR DRIVING AGAINST A 10 MILE AN HOUR WIND) PLACING ANY PASSENGERS IN DANGER SINCE THIS WILL OCCUR DRIVING 70 MILES AN HOUR OR SLOWER AT ANY TIME. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE CVT ISSUE AND NEED TO REPAIR THE ISSUE FOR SAFETY AND NOT REPAIRING AT 80,000 MILES.
