THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE DAMAGED SUN ROOF WAS BOWED UPWARD AFTER THE INCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT HIGHER SPEEDS (65-75) IT RANDOMLY LOSES POWER. THERE IS NO REACTION WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS SO I HAVE TO CAREFULLY STEER OUT OF TRAFFIC BEFORE THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STANDSTILL. THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIME WHILE ON A 100 MILE TRIP. ONCE PULLED OVER I HAVE TO WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE THE GAS PEDAL RESPONDS BUT THEN AFTER SEVERAL MORE MINUTES IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN TO TWO DIFFERENT NISSAN DEALERSHIPS ONLY TO BE INFORMED SINCE IT DID NOT HAPPEN TO THEM WHILE TEST DRIVING IT AND IT DID NOT SHOW UP ON THEIR COMPUTER THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I CANNOT DRIVE IT ANYMORE OR SELL IT TO AN UNSUSPECTED NEW OWNER WHO COULD POSSIBLE GET SEVERELY INJURED OR DIE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.

I AM A FRUSTRATED OWNER OF A 2013 NISSAN JUKE SL. I AM THE FIRST AND ONLY OWNER. AT ABOUT 20K MILES, I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR ITS REGULARLY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND COMPLAINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOISES WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS GIVEN, WHAT I KNOW NOW TO BE THE TEXTBOOK RESPONSE, 'I'M SORRY WE DROVE THE CAR AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE YOU'RE COMPLAINING ABOUT'. 30K MILES, I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR ITS REGULARLY MAINTENANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING COMPLAINT: THE CAR IS EXTREMELY NOISES ON THE HIGHWAY THAT I CAN BARELY HEAR MY MUSIC, THUS I HAVE TO APPEAR OBNOXIOUS TO SURROUNDING DRIVERS BECAUSE MY MUSIC IS LOUDER THAN THEIRS, SO THAT I CAN HEAR IT OVER THE NOISE COMING FROM UNDER MY HOOD WHICH SOUNDS LIKE AN AIRPLANE. FURTHERMORE, WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL TO INCREASE SPEED, THE CAR IS SLOW TO RESPOND. ONCE AGAIN, NISSAN CLAIMS THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO PINPOINT THE ISSUE. 45K MILES, THE CAR GOES IN FOR ITS REGULARLY MAINTENANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING COMPLAINT: WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR 3 HOURS, THE CAR WILL LOOSE POWER'IT IS STILL NOISES AS ALL HELL, BUT THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE BEEN HIGH BEAMED AND HONKED AT. THIS IS DANGEROUS TO ME, MY PASSENGERS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. THE CAR DOESN'T OVERHEAT AND ALL FLUID LEVELS ARE FINE. ONCE AGAIN, NISSAN CLAIMS THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO PINPOINT THE ISSUE. THIS PAST WEEKEND, I AM DOING MY 4.5 HOUR ROAD TRIP AGAIN IN NISSAN'S DEATHTRAP THEY HAVE FONDLY NICKNAMED JUKE. LIKE CLOCK WORK, AFTER 3 HOURS ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR STARTS TO SLOWDOWN, I CALLED NISSAN WHILE IT WAS HAPPENING, BUT HE CAN BARELY HEAR ME OVER THE LOUD NOISE (JET ENGINE SOUND EMITTING FROM UNDER MY HOOD). I TOOK THE CAR INTO NISSAN WHO COULD NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY DON'T LOOK INTO PROBLEMS LIKE THIS ON THE WEEKEND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN JUKE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER ONE ATTEMPT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (KRAFT NISSAN 3277 MAHAN DR, TALLAHASSEE, FL 32308), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW NISSAN JUKE 2013, INCLUDING A MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE CONTRACT. OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS THE NISSAN JUKE HAS REFUSED TO START DOZENS OF TIMES. WE ARE PETRIFIED THAT IT WILL STOP RUNNING WHILE WE DRIVE IT. OFTEN IT WILL NOT EVEN START WITH JUMPER CABLES. DESPITE HAVING THE JUKE IN AND OUT OF THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP SHOP OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS, NISSAN HAS BEEN COMPLETELY UNABLE TO DETERMINE AND FIX THE DEFECT. EACH TIME NISSAN SIMPLY CHARGES THE BATTERY, OR REPLACES IT. ON AT LEAST 8 SEPARATE OCCASIONS NISSAN HAS CLEARED THE JUKE AS OK TO DRIVE, ONLY TO HAVE IT FAIL TO START WITHIN SEVERAL MONTHS. WE HAVE BEEN STRANDED MANY TIMES, AND NOW CARRY JUMPER CABLES AND 2 HAND HELD POWER STARTERS, THOUGH THESE OFTEN FAIL TO START THE CAR. WE DO NOT WANT TO RESELL THIS VEHICLE ON THE USED MARKET TO UNSUSPECTING CONSUMERS SINCE THE JUKE IN ITS DEFECTIVE CONDITION IS CLEARLY A SERIOUS HAZARD TO USERS AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. WE ASKED NISSAN ON APRIL 12, 2017 TO REPURCHASE THE VEHICLE, BUT THEY REFUSED BY LETTER DATED APRIL 21, 2017 SINCE OUR LEMON LAW ONLY PROTECTS BUYERS FOR 20 MONTHS FROM PURCHASE. WE HAVE A COMPLETE SPREADSHEET WITH ATTACHED INVOICES WITH COMPLETE DETAILS OF ALL NISSAN'S ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE JUKE AND THEIR EXCUSES. THIS NISSAN JUKE HAS BEEN THE MOST UNRELIABLE AND DANGEROUS CAR WE HAVE EVER OWNED, AND NISSAN'S FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY FIX THIS DEFECTIVE CAR OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS HAS BEEN SHAMEFUL. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. WHILE WE WERE ABLE TO UPLOAD THE SPREADSHEET, THE EXHIBITS WERE TOO LARGE, AND CAN BE EMAILED ON REQUEST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN JUKE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND SLOWED DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS OVERHEATING AND GOING INTO A SAFETY MODE, WHICH CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO SHUT DOWN. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000. ..UPDATED 05/15/17 *BF UPDATED 10/19/2017*JS

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW. UP TO DATE ON ALL SERVICING. 81000 MILES. ON 1/12/2017 WAS DRIVING VEHICLE AND WENT TO ENTER INTO HIGHWAY. WHILE ENTERING INTO HIGHWAY CARS SPEED STARTED TO DECLINE AT A FAST RATE DOWN TO 25 ON A 70 MPH HIGHWAY. ALMOST CAUSING AND ACCIDENT. WAS MAKING A POP/WHISTLING SOUND UNDER HOOD. COULD NOT DRIVE ABOVE 40 MPH WITHOUT THE SOUND GETTING LOUDER AND WORSE. CALLED MY MECHANIC AND TOOK IT STRAIGHT THERE. WHEN HOOKED UP TO DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE IT SHOWED IT WAS THE TURBO. TRIED TO DRIVE CAR HOME BUT COULD NOT MAKE IT UP HILLS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. LOSS IN PERFORMANCE IN THE TURBO CAUSES SPEED LOSS AT A DRASTIC RATE. THIS COULD BE FATAL IN SITUATIONS WHERE ACCELERATION IS NEEDED. PART WENT OUT WITH NO PRIOR WARNINGS. I COULD HAVE BEEN STRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY OR CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ENTERING ON IT SO SLOWLY. CONTACTED NISSAN AND TO MY SURPRISE THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON THIS PART EVEN THOUGH I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE.
