2013 Nissan Juke

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Juke. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would not properly accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Later while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled, with the check engine warning light illuminated. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

Description: While driving the Nissan Juke the car will suddenly loose power. This appears to happen after having the A/C on for a while and driving speeds exceeding 50mph. At this time once you let go of the gas, begin to break, or just slow down. the car will stall. At this time if you attempt to press on the gas the car will not respond. I will be stall. The problem appears to be reproduceable due to all the complaints that have been listed on forums and on your site.

The car started to lose power while driving with the cruise control engaged, the odometer revved up from 2 RPM to 6 RPM then the speedometer started to descend from 75 MPH to 60MPH without the cruise control being disengaged. Luckily no drivers were behind me as I started trying to brake and pull over to the side of the road. There wasn't any indication that something was wrong on the dashboard, not one warning light. I proceeded to check the diagnostics with my micro mechanic, which gave me a code that the Torque converter was the problem. The dealership ran a diagnostic test and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced.

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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

PROBLEM WAS LATER DIAGNOSED AS A FAILED CVT TRANSMISSION AND THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE! THE TRANSMISSION WAS SUBSEQUENTLY REPLACED AT A COST OF $4825!

NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR FAILURE WITH SOME MODELS POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EXTENDED UP TO 120000 MILES. MINE WAS NOT ONE OF THEM!

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AVERAGING 80 MPH. I WAS NOT USING CRUISE CONTROL. AFTER 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO DECELERATE. I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL FURTHER TO ACCELERATE, YET IT HAD NO EFFECT. THE VEHICLE SPEED DROPPED TO 60 MPH. I PUT ON HAZARDS. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO DECELERATE TO 50 MPH. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN A MATTER OF SECONDS. I IMMEDIATELY MADE MY WAY TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. DURING THIS TIME, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER FLASHED, NOR DID ANY OTHER INDICATOR LIGHT COME ON. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS WELL BELOW THE HALFWAY POINT. I PARKED, AND RAISED THE HOOD TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE. THE FLUIDS WERE ALL AT RECOMMENDED LEVELS. AFTER 5 MINUTES, I BEGAN TO DRIVE AGAIN. THE VEHICLE SLOWLY ACCELERATED AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 50 MPH. I PULLED OFF TO THE NEXT EXIT AND DROVE TO A GAS STATION. I DOUBLE CHECKED THE FLUIDS AND USED THE OWNERS MANUAL TO HELP IDENTIFY ANY DASHBOARD INDICATOR LIGHTS THAT MAY SIGNIFY THAT SOMETHING IS MALFUNCTIONING. NOTHING SHOWED. I KEPT THE CAR OFF FOR OVER 20 MINUTES. I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND IT RAN NORMALLY WITHOUT PROBLEMS. THERE HAS BEEN 10 OR MORE OTHER TIMES I CAN RECALL WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED. THIS IS CRAP AND MAKES ME WISH I NEVER GOT THIS JUKE. I HAVE BEEN TO THE NISSAN DEALERS ALL AROUND ME AND NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN THIS PROBLEM TO ME. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME SORT OF RECALL TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I DO NOT NEED CARS ALMOST REAR ENDING ME AND DRIVERS PISSED OFF AT ME BECAUSE MY CAR WONT GO. AND WHO HAS TIME TO WAIT 20 TO 40 MINUTES TO WAIT FOR WHATEVER THE ISSUE IS TO CORRECT ITSELF!

I HAVE A NISSAN JUKE 2013 SV AWD. SINCE I BOUGHT IT, I HAVE CVT PROBLEMS. WHEN I DRIVE LONG DISTANCE AND THE WEATHER IS OVER 75 F OR I DRIVE ON MOUNTAINOUS ROADS, MY CAR STOP ACCELERATING. SOMETIMES I CAN'T GO FASTER THAN 60 MILES/H, BUT MOST OF THE TIME IT'S MAX 40 OR EVEN 20 MILES/HOUR. I ALSO HAVE A CHECK ENGINE ICON IN MY DASH WHEN IT HAPPEN SOMETIMES. I GOT MY CAR CHECKED BY MY MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES AND HE RAN THE ELECTRONIC TEST ON MY NISSAN. HE TOLD ME THAT THIS TEST SHOW A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM.
