2011 Nissan Juke

I PURCHASED A USED 2011 NISSAN JUKE FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. AT FIRST I HAD TROUBLE FILLING UP THE TANK. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEY FOUND A PLASTIC PIECE FROM A PLASTIC GAS CAN STUCK IN THE TANK. FROM THE MOMENT I PURCHASED THE CAR, WHENEVER I FILL IT WITH GAS, MY CAR, CLOTHES, GARAGE AND FIRST LEVEL OF MY HOME SMELLS LIKE GAS. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE IN 2012. I BELIEVE THAT WHOMEVER SERVICED THE CAR FOR THE 2012 RECALL DID NOT DO IT PROPERLY. FOR THE PAST WEEK AND A HALF I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO EITHER DISCONNECT ME, GIVE ME INCORRECT INFORMATION OR DON'T RETURN MY PHONE CALLS WHEN PROMISED. I WAS TOLD A SUPERVISOR WOULD GET BACK IN TOUCH WITH ME IN FOUR TO EIGHT HOURS. THEY CALLED ME BACK THREE DAYS LATER. I FEEL LIKE MY CAR IS A DEATH TRAP. I'M AFRAID TO PARK IT IN MY GARAGE FOR FEAR THAT WHEN I USE MY ELECTRIC GARAGE DOOR OPENER, THEY'RE WILL BE A SPARK AND MY ENTIRE CONDO WILL EXPLODE. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR SOMEONE WILL TOSS A LIT CIGARETTE AND THE CAR WILL CATCH FIRE WITH ME IN IT. I'VE HAD MORE MIGRAINES SINCE I'VE PURCHASED THE CAR THAN I'VE HAD IN 30 YEARS. WHEN I MENTIONED THE PROBLEM TO THE NISSAN DEALER WHOM I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM, I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW GAS TANK COVER. I'VE BOUGHT THREE OF THEM WITH NO IMPROVEMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN JUKE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIBRATE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER DRIVING 65 MPH OR GREATER. IN ADDITION, AN UNKNOWN METAL PART PARTIALLY DETACHED FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WINDSHIELD WIPER MALFUNCTION: 1. ISSUE IN INTERMITTENT MODE: WHEN TURN WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH TO INTERMITTENT MODE, NO MATTER TURN KNOB AT WHAT INTERMITTENT LEVEL, WIPER RUNS CONTINUOUSLY FOR 20 TO 30 SECONDS, AND THEN STOP FOR ABOUT 10 SEC, STARTS AGAIN FOR 20 SECS AND THEN STOP 10SEC, REPEAT LIKE THIS AT ANY INTERMITTENT LEVEL, 2. ISSUE IN LOW/HIGH CONTINUOUS MODE: WHEN TURN WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH TO EITHER SLOW / HIGH CONTINUOUS MODE, WIPERS RUNS CONTINUOUSLY FOR ABOUT 20 TO 30 SECONDS, AND THEN STOPS FOR ABOUT 10 SEC AND REPEAT LIKE THIS. #2 ISSUE HAS BEEN QUITE DANGEROUS ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO UNDER HEAVY RAIN, COULD BARELY SEE WHEN WIPER STOPS TO FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY. *TR

I HAD NOTICED FUEL SMELL INSIDE CABIN FOR SOME TIME. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I REALIZED THIS WAS RELATED TO A RECALL THAT APPARENTLY HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE TO THE VEHICLE. I DROPPED THE CAR AT LOCAL DEALER AND AFTER SERVICE DEPARTMENT DENIED SMELLING FUEL OR DETECTING ANY LEAKS, MANY PHONE CALLS AND ANOTHER VISIT TO SHOW THEM IT REALLY SMELLED LIKE FUEL INSIDE, IT WAS EVENTUALLY FIXED FREE OF CHARGE EVEN THOUGH WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. THE INVOICE SHEET STATES FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR WAS LOOSE AND WAS RE-TIGHTENED PER BULLETIN. *JS

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN JUKE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED FUMES AND A STRONG FUEL ODOR EMITTING FROM THE AIR VENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V069000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

MY RADIO CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. WHEN TRYING TO RAISE OR LOWER THE VOLUME, THE RADIO DIAL SIMPLY MUTES THE RADIO. THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS ARE STILL WORKING. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE RADIO WITH A REFURB AND IT WOULD COST ABOUT $400-$500. THIS CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD, THE RADIO DIAL SHOULD NOT STOP WORKING WITHIN THAT TIME. NO OTHER OPTION WAS MADE AVAILABLE TO ME. *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL TURN ON BY THEMSELVES, RUN HIGH SPEED FOR APPROX. 30 SECONDS, STOP (WITH WIPERS IN ACTIVE POSITION - OFTEN BLOCKING VISION) PAUSE FOR APPROX. 10-60 SECONDS AND RESTART. THIS HAS BEEN NON-STOP FOR THE LAST 2 DAYS. I CANNOT CONTROL THE SPEED OR TURN THEM ON/OFF. I'VE READ OTHERS WITH THE SAME MAKE/MODEL/YEAR HAVE HAD THE SAME MALFUNCTION. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR

STARTING APPROXIMATELY 12/1/2014, WE BEGAN TO NOTICE A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WITHIN MINUTES OF STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE SMELL WOULD DIMINISH AS THE CAR WARMED UP, BUT WOULD NOT GO AWAY COMPLETELY. WE CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER SERVICE DEPT., AND WERE TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. UPON TAKING THE CAR IN TO BE SERVICED, THEY CONFIRMED THE FUEL LEAK WAS FROM THE FUEL RAIL PRESSURE SENSOR, WHICH IS THE PRECISE PROBLEM WHICH PROMPTED THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. ON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THEY DETERMINED THE RECALL SERVICE (TECHNICAL BULLETIN REFERENCE NTB12-021B) HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED ON THIS VIN, AND NISSAN WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR AT THIS POINT. NISSAN'S RECALL CAMPAIGN ID# IS R1201, NHTSA#12V-069. IT APPEARS, AT LEAST IN THIS CASE, THE RECALL SERVICE WAS INEFFECTIVE IN CORRECTING OR PREVENTING THE FUEL LEAK ISSUE, MAKING IT POSSIBLE THAT ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES MAY STILL BE PRONE TO THIS FUEL LEAK PROBLEM . NISSAN CUSTOMER RELATIONS FURTHER STATED THEY DID NOT CONSIDER AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FUEL LEAK TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. I STRONGLY BELIEVE AN "INCREASED RISK OF A FIRE" IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN SHOULD STILL BE LIABLE TO CORRECT AN INHERENT SAFETY VULNERABILITY IN THEIR VEHICLES. *TR
