  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.

  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.

• 12/05/2023· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  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.

  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.

  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!

  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.

  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

  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.

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.

  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN JUKE. WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AS THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

• 06/29/2016· 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

• 06/23/2015· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  MY 2012 NISSAN JUKE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 75 MPH, DESPITE THE GAS PEDAL BEING COMPLETELY PRESSED DOWN ("PEDAL TO THE METAL"). A DISTINCT SMELL OF GASOLINE WAS NOTICED IN THE CABIN. I TOOK MY JUKE TO A MECHANIC, WHO SAID THE PROBLEM WAS FUEL LEAKING THROUGH THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. THOUGH THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR SOME 2012-2014 NISSAN JUKES (REFERENCE NHTSA 14V683000), MY SPECIFIC VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. I REQUEST THAT THIS RECALL BE INVESTIGATED AND EXPANDED. A FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE WITHIN THE EXPECTED REGULAR MAINTENANCE OF ANY VEHICLE, AND IS VERY LIKELY A DEFECT STEMMING FROM MANUFACTURING. COMMUNICATION ATTEMPTS WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA HAVE BEEN RATHER DISAPPOINTING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MANY OF THE NISSAN JUKE VEHICLES, BUT NISSAN NORTH AMERICA IS NOT WILLING TO PROVIDE ANY REPAIRS FOR MY VEHICLE.
