2011 Nissan Juke

EXPERIENCED SUDDEN LOSS OF PROPULSION AND CONTROL OF ACCELERATION WHILE TRAVELING ON 70 MPH ON FREEWAY. DIAGNOSTIC SUGGESTION IS AN ISSUE IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL AFFECTING NISSAN JUKES OF THIS YEAR IN RECALL CAMPAIGN #11V583000, IN WHICH A FAULTY VALVE CASING WELD BREAKS LOOSE INSIDE OF THE ENGINE. HOWEVER MY VEHICLE WAS NOT MANUFACTURED IN THE TIME PERIOD SPECIFIED IN THAT RECALL, AS IT WAS MANUFACTURED 8 WEEKS AFTER THE FINAL RECALL WINDOW DATE OF 5/12/11. CAR MAKES INTERMITTENT POPPING NOISE WHEN DRIVING, EXPERIENCES HIGH RPM WITHOUT ACCELERATION. CURRENT MILEAGE ON VEHICLE - 61,255 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN JUKE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING ON AN INCLINE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN JUKE. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL POPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT POWER LOSS TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TURBO/SUPERCHARGER BOOSTER ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V583000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

IN AUGUST OF 2013 I PURCHASED A 2011 NISSAN JUKE. 2 MONTHS LATER THE BATTERY DIED. I REPLACED IT. BETWEEN THAT TIME AND MARCH 2015 I HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY 2 ADDITION TIMES. IN MARCH OF 2015 AGAIN THE BATTERY DIES. I JUMPED STARTED IT A COUPLE OF TIMES IN A PERIOD OF 3 DAYS. ON THE 4TH DAY WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ACTED AS IF IT WOULD STALL ON ME WHILE DRIVING. THIS SCARED ME ENOUGH TO TAKE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY RAN DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE CAR AND FOUND NOTHING. THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY (CORPORATE REIMBURSED ME FOR THE COST) NOW IN FEB 2016 THE NEW BATTERY THEY INSTALLED DIED AGAIN. I DID AS THEY ADVISED ME TO DO THE PREVIOUS TIME WHICH IS TO HAVE IT TOWED INTO THE DEALERSHIP INSTEAD OF JUMP STARTING IT AND DRIVING IT TO THEM. AGAIN THEY RAN DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND FOUND NOTHING. THEY HAVE AGAIN REPLACED THE BATTERY. THE DEALERSHIP ACTS AS IF THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. MY CONCERN IS THAT A FEW MONTHS FROM NOW THE CAR WILL AGAIN DRAIN THE BATTERY. WHAT ABOUT IF IT DROPS A CHARGE WHILE I AM DRIVING IT ON THE ROAD? I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON LINE REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER 2011 JUKE MODELS BUT I DO NOT SEE IT MENTIONED ON THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION WEBSITE.
