2014 Nissan Juke

TURBO HAS COME APART, WITH NO WARNING! CAR WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED AND A VERY EXPENSIVE PROBLEM AT THAT!. I'M TAKING A LOAN FOR THE REPAIR SINCE I NEED MY CAR. EVERY NISSAN I'VE PURCHASED BEFORE HAS BEEN VERY DEPENDABLE. I WAS TOLD THIS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE JUKE AND NEED TO BE RECALLED. PLEASE CONSIDER THE RECALL ON THE JUKE TURBO, I LOVE THIS CAR BUT CAN'T AFFORD ANYTHING ELSE TO HAPPEN. MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR 2 MONTHS, SO I COULD COME UP WITH THE MONEY. MY HUSBAND DIE IN JANUARY 2019 AND MONEY IS VERY LIMITED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN JUKE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING AND SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER THE ENGINE COOLED DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LIA NISSAN OF SARATOGA (2906 U.S. 9, MALTA, NY 12020, (518) 633-11330), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

WHEN I'M AT A STOPLIGHT MY CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL OUT MY RPMS ARE BOUNCING BETWEEN 500 AND 800. I WAS AT THE CARWASH ONE DAY AND AS YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR CAR IN NEUTRAL WHEN THE CAR WASH IS IN PROCESS. WHEN I WENT TO GO SHIFT INTO DRIVE PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE IT FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT. ALSO WHEN IT'S JUST WARMING UP IN THE GARAGE MY RPMS BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN 500 AND 800 RPMS. AND WHEN I GO ROLL UP MY WINDOWS I GET A REALLY BAD ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE LIKE IT'S GOING TO DIE OUT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT OR THEY DON'T KNOW WHY MY RPMS ARE BOUNCING UP AND DOWN LIKE THAT THEY RESET MY IDLE CONTROL SYSTEM AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED I CHANGED OUT THE BATTERY PUT A BRAND NEW BATTERY IN IT HOPING IT WOULD CHANGE THE PROBLEM AND NOTHING HAPPENED. WHEN DRIVING SOMETIMES WHEN MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT HAND TURN AFTER MAKING A STOP AND I GO TO ACCELERATE. IT FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN.

NISSAN JUKE OWNERS ARE REPORTING OVER THE INTERNET THAT THE CAR SUFFERS FROM A DEFECTIVE ALTERNATOR OR BATTERY THAT CAUSES THE CAR TO LOSE POWER DURING NORMAL DRIVING IN HOT WEATHER. TEMPS ARE IN THE 100S IN CA RIGHT NOW 06/20/17. I PURCHASED MY JUKE A WEEKS AGO. IT DROVE FINE WHEN I DID THE INITIAL 3 TEST DRIVES BEFORE BUYING IT. IT WAS NOT UNTIL I ACTUALLY DROVE THE CAR SOME RESPECTABLE MILES THAT I NOTICED THAT THIS CAR HAS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS TRIGGERED WHEN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS ARE MET: #1. DRIVING IN HOT TEMPS ON THE FWY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC IF THE OPERATOR ROLLS THE WINDOW DOWN WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL REACT BY SHUTTERING WHEN THE WINDOWS ARE ROLLED DOWN OR IF YOU HOLD DOWN THE BUTTON. ONCE THIS IS TRIGGERED THE CAR MOVES AT A SNAILS PACE FOR THE REST OF THE TIME. #2 IF YOU TURN YOUR AC ON IN AUTO MODE IN HOT WEATHER ~100 C OR MORE FOR LONGER THAN AN HOUR WHILE DRIVING IN HOT WEATHER AND STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY LOSE POWER IN AN UN-SAFE MANNER THAT COULD CAUSE A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. IT IS NOT UNTIL YOU TURN OFF THE AC THAT THE CAR WILL SLOWLY START TO GAIN POWER PACK AFTER THE ISSUE IS TRIGGERED. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE COMMON AMONGST JUKE OWNERS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED BOTH ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION AND TO BE HONEST NISSAN SHOULD HAVE DONE THEIR DUE DILIGENCE BY RECALLING THE NISSAN JUKE. IT APPEARS FROM WHAT I HAVE READ AND TO THE PEOPLE FROM NISSAN THAT I SPOKE WITH THE JUKE WAS SPECCED WITH THE WEAK BATTERY AND WEAK ALTERNATOR THAT ARE BOTH AFFECTED BY HEAT SOAK WHICH TRIGGERS THE CAR TO GO INTO SAFE MODE TO PROTECT THE ENGINE FROM DAMAGE.
