2014 Nissan Juke

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.

AFTER ONLY 5000 MILES, MY NISSAN NISMO JUKE'S CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL BURNED OUT. COST ME $2500 TO GET REPAIRED. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY DEFECTS, BUT I HAVE HEARD SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING. HOW DOES ANYONE BURN THROUGH A CLUTCH IN 5000 MILES. IT'S CRAZY. THAT'S MY COMPLAINT. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF WORK DONE ON THE CAR TO FIX PROBLEM IF NEEDED.

THE CAR HAS BEEN LEAKING FUEL AND HAD A STRONG FUEL ODOR FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. I GIT IT TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER AND THEY ARE TELLING ME IT NEEDS A FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR AND THE FUEL BOLT WON'T TIGHTEN. THEY HAVE ALREADY HAD A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM BUT THEY'RE SAYING MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT THE CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND IT ONLY HAS 69000 MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN JUKE. WHLE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. UPON MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE STALLING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO EDDIE TOURELLE'S NORTHPARK NISSAN IN COVINGTON, LOUISIANA WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BEARINGS AND ALTERNATOR SEIZED. THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BEARINGS WERE REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,100.

MY NISSAN JUKE 2014 AWD VAPOR LOCKED IN HOT WEATHER. THE DEALER WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME TO USE 91 OR HIGHER OCTANE GAS AND NOT TO FILL THE TANK WHEN REFUELING. THEY ALSO REPROGRAMMED THE CAR. THOUGH THE DEALER TOOK GREAT CARE OF ME THE EXPLANATION SEEMED STRANGE. THE CAR WAS SIMPLY TURNING OFF WHEN IDLING. IT HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE, BUT I AM NOW MORE FEARFUL DRIVING IT.

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.
