2013 Nissan Juke

MY 2013 JUKE SL BROKE DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND THEN CAME TO A STOP AND WOULDN'T START. IT WAS TOWED TO A NISSAN SERVICE DEALERSHIP. THEY FOUND THAT THE ENGINE TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND DAMAGED MY ENGINE. I WAITED WEEKS TO HEAR BACK FROM NISSAN CORPORATE OFFICE. THEY WILL DO NOTHING. I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW AND DOESN'T HAVE 60,000 MILES ON IT. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WILL GIVE ME 500.00 FOR TRADE IN. 2011-2013 JUKES HAVE HAD THIS FAULTY TIMING CHAIN. I CAN'T BELIEVE NISSAN WON'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME.

CAR HAS 64000 MILES AND WHILE IT WAS DRIVEN THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND BENT THE VALVES . I CALLED NISSAN AND THERE IS NO RECALL EVEN THERE IS TOO MANY COMPLAINTS LIKE MINE .NEW ENGINE $5000. WHERE IS THE QUALITY NISSAN USED TO HAVE . WITH THIS AND CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES YOU NEED THINK TWICE AND MAY BE SWITCH TO HYUNDAI OR KIA ,AT LEAST THEY HAVE 100000 MILES BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN JUKE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WITH THE OIL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LYNCHBURG NISSAN (18588 FOREST RD, FOREST, VA 2455), AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

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

SINCE PURCHASING MY 2013 NISSAN JUKE I HAVE CONTINUALLY HAD PROBLEMS DRIVING ON THE HWY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S HOT OUT, DRIVING MY CAR ON MAJOR HWY (I-5 INTERSTATE), I DRIVE FROM CA TO OR ABOUT 5 TIMES A YEAR MY CAR WILL SUDDENLY, NO WARNING LIGHT, DECELERATE FROM 70 MPH TO 30 MPH ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET IN A ACCIDENT EVERY SINGLE TIME IT HAPPENS RIGHT NOW I'M ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND I'M JUST HOPING THAT MY CAR IS GOING TO START AGAIN I BARELY MADE IT TO THE OFF-RAMP THIS IS A DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE WEB BY HUNDREDS OF OWNERS! THE 2013 NISSAN JUKE THIS TURBOCHARGER OR WHATEVER IT IS WITH THE ENGINE THAT IS MAKING THIS HAPPEN IS SO SERIOUS I COULD DIE ON THE FREEWAY AND I DON'T WANT TO DIE WHEN NISSAN SHOULD BE REPLACING THESE IT'S A KNOWN FACT AND NISSAN IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING IT IF YOU LOOK AT THE BLOGS AND OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE YOU WILL SEE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT TOO I DON'T WANT TO DIE BECAUSE OF THIS AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO PUT IN A NEW TURBO CHARGER OR A NEW ENGINE IN MY CAR WHEN THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE!! NISSAN HAS A LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THESE PARTS FOR US FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS AND OUR SUFFERING FROM THIS. IT IS BEYOND AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU WERE ON AN INTERSTATE FREEWAY IN YOUR CAR GOES FROM 70 MILES AN HOUR DOWN TO 30 OR 40 AND WILL BARELY GO OVER THAT YOU CAN BARELY EVEN GET OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT GETTING RUN OVER BY MAJOR HUGE TRUCKS IT IS A TOTAL SAFETY PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING THAT EVEN SHOWS YOU WHAT IT COULD POSSIBLY BE AND PEOPLE WHO GO TO NISSAN AND SAY THIS HAPPENED THEY ALWAYS SAY THE SAME THING WELL IT DIDN'T HAPPEN FOR US WHILE WE WERE DRIVING IT SO WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS THEY KNOW VERY WELL EXACTLY WHAT IT IS. THOUSANDS OR HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ARE ALL NOT LYING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN JUKE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS DETECTED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE HIGHER THE RPM, THE LOUDER AND FASTER THE NOISE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN CAUSED THE NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY WAITING TO BE TOWED TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

WHILE DRIVING AT 80 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, I WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED. I SUDDENLY LOST ABILITIES TO CONTROL MY SPEED. I PROCEEDED TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. RESTARTED MINUTES LATER WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS PRESENT. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES GETTING THE CAR TO A REST STOP. I BELIEVE IT'S THE TORQUE CONVERTER IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT MAYBE THE ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE STARTED LOOSING POWER AND STALLING VERY OFTEN DURING NORMAL DRIVING IN THE CITY. TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE TURBO WENT OUT AND DEBRIS WAS SUCKED INTO THE ENGINE CAUSING DAMAGE. NOW THEY SAY WE NEED AN ENGINE, $6000 FOR A USED ONE OR $14,000 FOR A NEW ONE, ON A VEHICLE WE STILL OWN $7400. THAT'S INSANE AND IT'S THE SECOND TIME SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS TO US WITH A NISSAN ENGINE, A VERY SIMILAR THING HAPPENED WITH OUR 2005 PATHFINDER, HAD TO PUT A USED ENGINE ON THAT ONE TOO. WE ARE NEVER BUYING A NISSAN AGAIN PLUS THEY TAKE FOREVER TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MANUFACTURER DEFECTS AND MAKE RECALLS.
