Recently a strong gas smell in cabin after starting engine for the third time. After noticing the smell of gasoline a faulty fuel pressure sensor was serviced 12/2/2015. No charge at Puente Hills Nissan. Smell of gasoline again. $782.56 paid to Cerritos Nissan on 1/25/19. Although 2012 Nissan Jukes had a factory recall due to gasoline smell, I was told that my VIN number was not included.

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

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. * 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

Juke

  • 58,000 miles
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.

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.

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 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.

Increasing odor of fuel in the cabin. First noticed when the weather became cool. No obvious cause or engine performance issues noted. No leaks noted around the vehicle. Nissan dealership quoting $450 minimum to diagnose and needs the car for 2 days in order to find the problem.

Noticed gasoline smell in car; smell got progressively worse. Fuel found leaking under car. Car taken to mechanic. Mechanic investigated leak and Nissan Juke recalls. Mechanic found fuel leak under intake -see recall 14V683. Nissan says not covered by recall. Intake removed and found the fuel pressure sensor not adequately torqued. Touched with wrench an spewed fuel. Then turned off by hand. Matches the symptoms of the recall exactly.
