1. Timing Chain failure. Yes it is available for inspection. 2. Vehicle will shut down and stop while being driven. 3. Diagnosed by Nissan dealer. 4. Vehicle was diagnosed by dealer but not inspected by the manufacturer. 5. No warning lamps or messages, only a rattle noise for last week or so.

2014 Nisan Juke, 68,772 miles, makes high pitched noise and emits an acrid smell when going up steep mountain interstate highway, it then slows to a stop. No warning lights or high temp readings. Very dangerous to stop and stall on an major interstate. It seems to be a transmission problem. First time it happened, Empire Nissan dealer said it was fine, changed the oil and sent me off. 2nd time, actual breakdown, took it to a local mechanic who said it is probably a lock up, as in Code PO774. Now at different dealer Shomp, they are diagnosing and hopefully fixing it. There is a Class Action Suit about this Juke, CVT litigation, Nissan appears to have extended the warranty.

Timing chain rubbed a hole in the timing cover causing engine shut off, oil leak everywhere on passenger side and metal in the oil. Luckily I was in a parking lot when this happened.

Brake switch stopped working when pressed each time but was still connected. Car could not be started when brake lights do not come on. After confirming no issue with the brake. The car started stalling periodically while driving causing a safety issue. Appears to be related to the start stop switch safety campaign.

Electrical issues began within months after purchasing (Dec 2014). Navigation system, radio, interior lights all go haywire unexpectedly. Radio//navigation completely black; interior lights either stay on, flicker or won't come on at all. After taking it back to the dealership & having them test it, they always claimed their computers didn't catch any issues. I requested that my complaints be marked down & sent in to manufacturer every time. That began happening before 20,000 miles and continues today (115,000 miles). The car has never thrown any codes & never had any check engine lights, or any such mechanical issue light notifications come up on dash. The car began losing power around 75,000 miles (oil changes, maintenance done on time)'when accelerating the car would skip, jump or almost stall whenever trying to pull out in traffic. Changed spark plugs at recommended mileage (100,000), no change. One day after driving to the gas station which is 4.2 miles from my home & back home, when mileage was around 100,000 (conveniently immediately after warranty expires) my cars A/C quit working, and the car ran incredibly hot (with absolutely no indication of any issues). I noticed my feet were burning under the driver side dash (while driving). Pulled over, popped hood-immediately saw coolant reservoir (plastic reservoir) was empty, checked oil dipstick and nothing'no oil. 3 days prior to this situation I checked fluids (in South Georgia during the be summer it's incredibly hot & I was taught to keep an eye on oil/fluids during extremely hot weather. I had an oil change roughly a month prior to this situation as well. After this overheating problem was resolved, my A/C no longer cooled. Recharging did nothing'due to the perfect timing of the warranty expiring that left me with no alternative other than accept my fate & the unbearable Georgia heat.

Turbo has come apart, with no warning! car was in excellent condition before this happened. This shouldn't have happened and a very expensive problem at that!. I'm taking a loan for the repair since I need my car. Every Nissan I've purchased before has been very dependable. I was told this a big problem with the Juke and need to be recalled. Please consider the recall on the Juke turbo, I love this car but can't afford anything else to happen. My car has been sitting in my driveway for 2 months, so I could come up with the money. My husband die in January 2019 and money is very limited.

I have noticed a strong fuel odor when I first start the car for the past few weeks. Evidently it is a leaking fuel pressure sensor. It appears there is already a recall on this problem (under NHTSA campaign id:14V683000), but my specific VIN is not included. I have just over 60K miles.

When I'm at a stoplight my car feels like it's going to stall out my rpms are bouncing between 500 and 800. I was at the carwash one day and as you know you have to put your car in neutral when the car wash is in process. When I went to go shift into drive putting my foot on the brake it felt like it was going to stall out. Also when it's just warming up in the garage my rpms bounce back and forth between 500 and 800 rpms. And when I go roll up my windows I get a really bad electrical shortage like it's going to die out I took it to the dealer and they said they can't find anything wrong with it or they don't know why my rpms are bouncing up and down like that they reset my idle control system and nothing has changed I changed out the battery put a brand new battery in it hoping it would change the problem and nothing happened. When driving sometimes when making a left or right hand turn after making a stop and I go to accelerate. It feels like it's going to stall out in the middle of the turn.

Juke

  • 45,000 miles
Nissan Juke owners are reporting over the internet that the car suffers from a defective alternator or battery that causes the car to lose power during normal driving in hot weather. Temps are in the 100S in ca right now 06/20/17. I purchased my Juke a weeks ago. It drove fine when I did the initial 3 test drives before buying it. It was not until I actually drove the car some respectable miles that I noticed that this car has a safety issue that is triggered when any of the following conditions are met: #1. driving in hot temps on the fwy in stop and go traffic if the operator rolls the window down while driving the car will react by shuttering when the windows are rolled down or if you hold down the button. Once this is triggered the car moves at a snails pace for the rest of the time. #2 if you turn your ac on in auto mode in hot weather ~100 C or more for longer than an hour while driving in hot weather and stop and go traffic the car will suddenly lose power in an un-safe manner that could cause a traffic accident. It is not until you turn off the ac that the car will slowly start to gain power pack after the issue is triggered. Both of these issues are common amongst Juke owners. I have experienced both on more than one occasion and to be honest Nissan should have done their due diligence by recalling the Nissan Juke. It appears from what I have read and to the people from Nissan that I spoke with the Juke was specced with the weak battery and weak alternator that are both affected by heat soak which triggers the car to go into safe mode to protect the engine from damage.
