SRS AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES CONTINUOUSLY. STARTED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO (MARCH 2024) TOOK CAR TO REPAIR SHOP, STATED OCS CONTROL UNIT AND PASSENGER OCCUPANT SENSORS NEED TO BE REPLACED. TOOK TO A NISSAN DEALER FOR 2ND OPINION. STATED TODAY THEY WILL REPLACE OCS CONTROL UNIT & PASSENGER OCCUPANT SENSORS. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE COVERED BY A RECALL EVENT?

Timing chain needs replacement however the timing chain was already replaced in 2014 under Nissan recall NTB14-030c campaign P4213. This car has 54,000 miles on it and has been serviced at Nissan dealerships according to the Nissan service schedule. There is no reason for this part to need replacing again after so few miles unless the Nissan part was bad, there is an underlying manufacturing issue with the vehicle or the recall replacement was done incorrectly. Nissan Consumer Affairs refuses to assist because the car is out of warranty.

The car smelling of burning and is not safe to drive.

I purchased this Nissan 2012 from Hyundai Santa Maria. It has had a problem starting consistently. There are recorded records all over the net. Simply google Nissan Juke Push Button won't start. I have already spent some money trying to figure out the issue. People have been stranded in my car Calling triple A. It drains the batteries which are $250 each. Nissan indicates that the remote keyless entry that stalls in the accesory mode. It has been 10 yrs an people are having to dump their cars. Mine I pay $224 a month an 11k loan for it to sit in my driveway. It is a danger as if the car cannot be started in a hazardous situation then someone will die. The contact stated that Nissan has not offered any assistance so far. The contact was informed by Nissan that their vehicle does not apply to the recall and recommended that they pay for diagnostic testing.

Belt in the engine snapped made the car overheat leak oil and radiator fluid. Mechanic said there was a recal for this issue.

Sept 2022 i bought my 2012 Nissan Juke from Jeff Wyler’s Nissan King AutoMall. April 23 the left, lower ball joint/axle (drivers side) broke. Needed fixed. Almost $2,000. I specifically asked them to check right sided ball joint/axle. Oh it’s fine. We checked it out and it’s all good. Less than 3 months later-the right sided axle and ball joint broke. It only took over 6 weeks and 3 different places (discount tires, tire discounters and Jeff Wyler’s dealership) to figure out what was wrong with my vehicle at this time. This time it cost me more (but since jeff wylers mechanics fix things and then jack up the price by $800) it actually cost me $1550 to fix it this time.I could have died. On both occasions and now it feels like the backend of my juke is shaking apart. I’m scared to death to drive my vehicle and I’ve told Jeff Wyler I think they sold me an unsafe vehicle and I am now terrified to drive it. But it’s the only car we have in our family and I can’t afford to buy another one. You have no idea as to how terrified I am to drive my car now; especially with that rear end shaking. omg! I’ve never owned a Nissan before and this is my last I have also asked Jeff Wyler’s dealership-wouldn’t this have been caught on their inspection of selling a used car? Wouldn’t the mechanic in April seen signs/symptoms of stress on the right sided ball joint when they looked at it when they fixed the left side? How do things like this get missed? & put MY LIFE IN DANGER as well as every other person on the roads while I drove with broken axles and ball joints? How can they sell vehicles that are not safe? omg! You cannot comprehend the terrified feeling along with anxiety/nausea and just pure terror of driving a vehicle that shakes still and where I’ve had to fix 2 separate massive breakages in the driveway mechanics or frame (idk. The 2nd time it happened; I thought its a bad tire). I am now more religious and spiritual because of this. I now pray several times daily

The timing chain exploded as noted in the service bulletin: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/SB-10055923-4231.pdf Nissan is claiming that this model/VIN is not covered under this bulletin when it clearly is.

I’m having problems with 2012 Nissan Juke CVT Transmission. The dash light turned on “SERVICE ENGINE SOON”. Should I take to a Nissan Dealership. Thant you

Timing Chain: National Consumers reported my vehicle replaced the timing chain in 2018 prior to my ownership. Now it has failed again to the tune of $3K at 88K miles. The Nissan Dealership will only guarantee warranty for 1yr or 12k miles which seems sub par. How can a voluntary recall on the timing chain only be effective up to 2014 when obviously it seems to be a problem with the whole engine design. I will not drop $3k every 3-4 years to replace a part that should last longer than a belt or at the minimum of 120k miles if not the life of the car. I’m asking the National Consumers hotline to open another recall on this lemon. The additional issues are the car not starting, after replacing 2 good batteries within 2 years, an independent mechanic replace a relay between the brake and the ignition and it has worked ever since. Crossing my fingers… Also notable is the rinki-dink hood latch that quivers at high speeds. I often wonder when my hood will fly up into my windshield.

EVERY TWO (2) YEARS ONE OF THE HOSES ON THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM BURSTS DUE TO EXCESSIVE PRESSURE AND SPEWS THE CONTENTS OF THE SYSTEM ALL OVER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. WHEN THE HOSE BURST, IT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STUMBLE AND HESITATE AS WELL AS CAUSING SMOKE TO COME FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. WE HAVE HAD THE REPAIRS DONE MULTIPLE TIMES AT THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER

P4213 JUKE F15 TIMMING CHAIN UPDATE NTB14-030, NISSAN LAUNCHED THIS VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN ON APRIL 25, 2014 ON CERTAIN 2011-2013 NISSAN JUKE VEHICLES TO OFFER CUSTOMERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN, CHAIN GUIDES, AND CRANK SPROCKET AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER FOR PARTS AND LABOR. ON NOVEMBER 26, 2014 I TOOK MY 2012 JUKE TO TEMECULA NISSAN WHERE ON NOVEMBER 26, 2014 WAS TAKEN FOR SAID RECALL, AFTER 2 YEARS OF DRIVING MY CAR A SOFT CLACKING SOUND STARTED TO WHICH ON ONE OF THE OIL CHANGE ROUTINE I ASKED TEMECULA NISSAN SERVICE REPAIR PERSON TO CHECK AND HE DISMISSED IT AS NORMAL NO PROBLEM. FAST FORWARD TO AUGUST 2020, THE CLACKING SOUND IS LOUDER AND MY MOTOR IS NOT RESPONDING WHEN ACCELERATING. I ONCE AGAIN ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2020 TOOK MY CAR TO TEMECULA NISSAN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TO REVEAL THAT IT IS IN FACT THE TIMING CHAIN WHICH IS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS AND HAS AFFECTED CAMSHAFTS AMONG OTHER THINGS THAT WILL AMOUNT TO A TOTAL OF $1,400.00 JUST TO BE ABLE TO OPEN THE MOTOR AND SEE THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE FAULTY TIMING CHAIN, NOT INCLUDE TOTAL REPARATION OF THE PROBLEM. WHEN I BROUGHT UP THE 2014 TIMING CHAIN RECALL, AT FIRST THEY DID NOT HAD ANY RECORD OF RECALLS FOR A TIMING CHAIN ON MY CAR, TO WHAT I CLAIM TO HAVE PROVE OF IT, THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN DISMISSED IT AS AN EXPIRE WARRANTY ISSUE THAT WAS FIXED FOR FREE BUT CURRENTLY OUT OF WARRANTY, I RESPONDED THAT THAT WAS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE BUT A DEFECTIVE PART RECALL, HE INSISTED THAT REGARDLESS OF BEING A RECALL ISSUE IT WAS ONCE REPAIRED AND THAT WAS IT. NOW I AM LEFT WITH AN AUTO THAT WAS PERHAPS NEVER FIXED AND WITH A LONGSTANDING RECALL PROBLEM THAT PERSIST. THE TIMING CHAIN CAUSES MY CAR TO NOT RESPOND WHEN THE ACCELERATION PEDAL IS PRESSED ON EITHER ON A FREEWAY OR ANY INTERSECTION PUTTING MY SAFETY AND MY FAMILY SAFETY AT RISK.

TL-

CAR TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING IN LOW SPEED. OR AFTER A TURN NO WARNING LIGHTS OR CHECK ENGINE CODES WHATSOEVER STARTING ON SEP 26 2019. AND KEEP DOING IT AT LEAST TWICE PER DAY

THIS JUKE HAS BEEN GREAT UNTIL NOW A WEEK AGO. IT HAS INTERMITTENTLY FAILED TO START. ALL THINGS CHECK OUT GOOD THAT USUALLY CAUSE THIS. THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, STARTER, ETC. WE HAVE HAD IT LEAVE US STRANDED AND THE MECHANIC CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN SENT OUT ABOUT 2011-2013 JUKES SAYING NISSAN KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEMS. HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT IT AND LESS THAN HELPFUL. THEY WANT TO CHARGE 160$ TO SEE IF THEY CAN DIAGNOSE IT , BUT IT MUST FAIL IN ORDER FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE. THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS THAT IT DOESN'T ALWAYS FAIL. THERE ARE MANY DAYS IT STARTS WITHOUT ISSUE. I UNFORTUNATELY DON'T HAVE AN EXTRA VEHICLE TO HELP GET MY FAMILY AROUND WHILE THEY KEEP IT FOR SEVERAL DAYS. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR USED, AND HAVE HAD NO ISSUES UNTIL NOW. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. SEEMS NISSAN SHOULD OWN THE FAULT AND THAT DEALERSHIPS SHOULD KNOW HOW TO HELP CUSTOMERS IT DOESN'T ALWAYS FAIL TO START AFTER IT HAS BEEN SITTING. IT COULD HAVE BEEN DRIVEN AND THEN TURNED OFF TO GET GAS, AND THEN WON'T START. OH AND IT ALWAYS STARTS AFTER THE BATTERY HAS BEEN JUMPED OFF. WHAT IS THAT ABOUT SINCE THE BATTERY TEST GOOD. SEEMS ELECTRICAL, OR SOFTWARE UPDATE SOMETHING. PLEASE HELP.IT SEEMS THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD THE ECM REPROGRAMMED AND THAT HAS SEEM TO HELP RESOLVE THE ISSUE. SOUTHWEST NISSAN IS AWFUL.

WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND PARKED THE VEHICLE. BEFORE TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE, I HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE. MY VEHICLE HAD STARTED TO STRUGGLE WITH LOSING SPEED/POWER WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING 55 MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN JUKE. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND PARKED THE VEHICLE. BEFORE TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO WALSER NISSAN WAYZATA (LOCATED AT 15906 WAYZATA BLVD, WAYZATA, MN 55391, (612) 426-6995) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE, TURBO, MULTIPLE FLUIDS, TIMING CHAIN, AND BALANCE SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

MY NISSAN JUKE SHUT OFF WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP AFTER GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY. IT SOUNDS HORRIBLE WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON. LIKE A CLICKING SOUND. ON YOUTUBE I LOOKED UP THE TIMING BELT ISSUES WITH THE NISSAN JUKE AND IT WAS THE EXACT SAME SOUND. BUT THERE WAS ONLY A RECALL ON THE V8 NISSAN JUKE SO I COULDN'T GET IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT ALSO SLOWS DOWN WHEN I GO UP TO 60 TO 70 MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN JUKE. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, A LOUD POPPING OR TICKING NOISE OCCURRED FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SOUND APPEARED TO COME FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, THE POPPING OR TICKING NOISE BECAME LOUDER. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BAKE NISSAN (LOCATED AT 19630 NORTHWEST FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77065, (832) 604-3495) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE ORIGIN OF THE NOISE COULD NOT BE LOCATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

MY VEHICLE HAD STARTED TO STRUGGLE WITH LOSING SPEED/POWER WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK AGO. BEGAN TO NOTICE A RATTLING NOISE ALONG WITH OIL LEAKING FROM MY VEHICLE'S ENGINE A FEW DAYS AGO. TOOK IT INTO THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT RIGHT WAY. TODAY I WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD BEEN STRETCHED AND WAS SCRAPING AGAINST MY ENGINE, CREATING A HOLE AND REQUIRING A NEW ENGINE. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY TIMING CHAIN COMPLETELY FAILED I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DEAD. NISSAN QUOTES ME AT 9000+ DOLLARS TO REPLACE MY ENGINE. THEY HAD A 'VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN' BACK IN 2014 FOR DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAINS IN 2010 - 2013 NISSAN JUKES. I BOUGHT MY NISSAN FROM AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP IN 2014, NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE NOR DID ANY NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT NOTIFY ME OF THE ISSUE WHEN I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN.

RECENTLY BOUGHT A CAR AND TOOK IT IN BECAUSE OF A CLICKING NOISE AND THEY TOLD ME THE TIMING CHAIN WAS REPLACED AT 46 K MILES AND NOW AT 106K MILES GOING BAD AGAIN THIS COULD CAUSE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES AND DEALER IS NOT WILLING TO REPLACE RECALLED ITEM

MY VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED UNDER NISSAN RECALL ID 277139 & ID227697 AND SHOULD BE DUE TO I HAVE OBD CODE OF P0087 & P0090 WHICH IS A FIRE HAZARD FUEL LEAK LOW PRESSURE RAIL RACK AND I AM NOT THE ONLY OWNER OF JUKES THAT ARE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH VIN NOT COVERED WHEN THEY SHOULD BE. WHAT IS GOING TO TAKE A LOSS OF LIVES

I have a 2012 Nissan Juke and every one of the door lock actuators has had to be replaced. The problems started early on, but the door locks intermittently fail when using the key fob or external door button. Using the internal door lock button is more likely to work even when the key fob and external button fail. Because the failures are intermittent, it is hard to get this diagnosed and replaced at the dealerships. I have had to take the car to the dealership many times, pay a $200 diagnostic fee and then sometimes they replace the door actuator and sometimes do not. Over the past 4 years I have replaced 3 of 4 door actuators and will be replacing the 4th door actuator now. I contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs regarding the issue, as it is a known issue, but they refused to assist because the car is no longer under warranty.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN JUKE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018 BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN JUKE. WHILE DRIVING, THE TIMING CHAIN FRACTURED OFF INTO THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO KELLY NISSAN OF WOBURN (95 CEDAR ST, WOBURN, MA 01801, (781) 835-3500) TO BE DIAGNOSED. ALSO, A CONSUMER ADVOCATE PLANNED TO INVESTIGATE ON BEHALF OF THE MANUFACTURER TO DETERMINE IF THEY WOULD COVER SOME OF THE REPAIR COST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

PROBLEMS WITH CONSTANT BATTERY DRAINAGE. EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS JUST PARKED AND NOTHING ON BATTERY DRAINS RANDOMLY AND OUT OF NOWHERE. I HAVE REPLACED BATTERY 7 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. I AM ALWAYS SCARED TO BE STRANDED AND EN UP CALLING AAA TO RESCUE ME. I HAVE CALLED AAA AT LEAST 12 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 YEARS JUST TO GET MY CAR GOING. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR FOR SERVICE AND DIAGNOSIS TO VARIOUS NISSAN DEALERSHIPD TO HAVE CHECKED AND THEY ALWAYS SAY THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM IS. THIS IS SO BEYOND FRUSTRATING!!

I ARRIVED AT AN OUT OF TOWN DESTINATION TO FIND I HAD OIL COVERING THE MOTOR. MECHANIC STATED THERE WAS A 2" GASH IN THE FRONT COVER OF THE TIMING CHAIN, WHICH WAS COMING FROM THE INSIDE OUT. GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN, THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED AT A DIFFERENT PLANT AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL. MECHANIC FIXED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THE ISSUE WAS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND WAS NOT CAUSED BY WEAR OR NEGLIGENCE.

JUKE HAS DIFFICULTY STARTING SPORADICALLY. ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY HOWEVER IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM AS IT WAS HARD TO BE REPLICATED. TOOK CAR TO HAVE BATTERY CHECKED AND THEY STATED THAT THERE APPEARS TO BE SOMETHING DRAINING BATTERY WHEN OFF. CAR HAS LEFT ME STRANDED MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO START.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN JUKE. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED, THE ENGINE SEIZED, AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. PRIORITY NISSAN TYSONS CORNER (8525 LEESBURG PIKE A, VIENNA, VA 22182, (703) 442-8700) DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

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.

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.

THIS CAR HAS 85,120 MILES WAS BEING BACKED INTO WORK WHEN THE RIGHT SIDE SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM BALL JOINT WENT BAD BROKE AND WHEN THE BALL JOINT BROKE IT ALSO BROKE THE AXLE AND THE ABS SENSOR WAS DAMAGED. THE RT 21 AUTO REPAIR WHAT IT COST TO FIX THE BALL JOINT WAS $ 50.87 THE AXLE WAS $139.87 THE LABOR $104.00 TOW BILL $120.00 STATE TAX $20.68 TOTAL BILL $485.42. O REILLY AUTO PARTS BILL THIS IS THE RIGHT SIDE ABS WHEEL SENSOR IS $ 197.99 FREIGHT CHARGE $ 7.70 SERVICE CHARGE $2.80 TAX $ 12.51 TOTAL 221.00 THIS WHEEL SENSOR HAD TO BE ORDERED WHEN IT COMES IN WILL BE NO CHARGE TO PUT IT IN.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
