2012 Nissan Juke

THE BATTERY WAS DEAD ON TWO OCCASIONS WITHIN 2 WEEKS. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE AND IT WAS MORNING. THE SECOND TIME IT WAS PARKED AT WORK. I DROVE THE CAR TO PURCHASE GAS AT LUNCH TIME AND WHEN I TRIED TO START IT TO GO HOME AT 4 PM THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AAA CAME AND BOOSTED THE BATTERY AND TIGHTENED THE CONNECTIONS THE FIRST TIME. THE SECOND TIME AAA JUST TIGHTENED THE CONNECTIONS ON THE BATTERY AND THE CAR STARTED. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT PROBLEMS THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD. WHY WOULD THE CONNECTIONS BE LOOSE. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND THIS IS MY SIXTH VEHICLE.

STRONG GAS ODOR IN CAR COMING FROM AIR VENTS FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR WAS RE TORQUE UNDER A RECALL. NO VISIBLE LEAK GAS ODOR UNDER THE HOOD ALSO.STRONG ODOR UNDER HOOD. NISSAN WILL NOT COVER THEY SAY THEY ALREADY REPAIRED PART ALONE IS$ 800.00 AND WONT EVEN LOOK AT IT WITH OUT CHARGING ME HAD IT INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED BYE A QUALIFIED MECHANIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN JUKE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, IT FAILED TO START WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED RANDOMLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. UPDATED 04/14/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THERE ARE 3 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON SAFECAR.GOV WITH THE JUKE. CONSUMER NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE TO THE LETTER. CONSUMER SPOKE WITH JUSTIN IN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, WHO ARRANGED FOR TOM OSBORN TO MEET THE CONSUMER AT WESLEY CHAPEL NISSAN. TOM OSBORN SAID HE MADE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS AND 2 DAYS LATER THE CAR WAS DEAD. CONSUMER WENT BACK TO THE DEALER- COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT BUT BRANDON IN SERVICE SAID HE MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS. DEALER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE CAR. CONSUMER HAS EXTENDED WARRANTY. CONSUMER STATED THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON OTHER WEBSITES AS WELL FROM CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. UPDATED 6/5/18*JB

2012 NISSAN JUKE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE FAILURE TO START PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE FAILURE HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY. THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY WERE DEEMED TO BE GOOD. WHEN THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START, IT INITIALLY MADE AN ELECTRONIC CLICKING NOISES; NOT STARTER MOTOR CLICKING NOISE. THE ENGINE DID NOT TURN AT ALL AND AFTER A COUPLE OF TIMES THE VEHICLE WOULD GO TOTALLY DEAD. UPON BEING JUMP STARTED, THE BATTERY AND ELECTRONICS WERE PERFECTLY FINE. *JB

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.

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.

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.
