I'm the only owner of this vehicle. In Dec 2021 (@ 61000 miles) I had problems with steering my vehicle. I went to break and could not break on the expressway. I was on a 55 miles expressway during rush hour traffic. I came to a stop on the side of the road and when I try to engage the accelerator to get off to the exit the car will not move. It kept stalling and making grounding sounds. The steering wheel was hard to turn as well. Had the Nissan dealership tell me the transmission had to be replaced after 10 days of having my car at the dealership. The transmission was replaced. April 2023 (@ 87000 miles), I am back at the dealership with transmission again. This is the same transmission they put there in Dec 2021. I was going less than 10 mile on a normal roadway. The car will not accelerator or move over 10 mph. It sounded like it I was changing gear in a manual car. The abs light would blink off and on for a split second as the car jerk and trying to accelerate. I have also spend on replacing the suspending and steering, control arms and a whole bunch of other things.

THIS CAR IS LITERALLY FAILING EVERY YEAR FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS 9 MONTHS. THE AXEL'S HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE AIR CONDITIONING HAD TO BE FIXED JUST IN DAYS OF THE LAST REPAIR AN ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THAT REPAIR WAS AN OXYGEN SENSOR (EMISSIONS) THIS WAS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH STRUTS PROBLEM LESS THAN 90 DAYS. THE WHEELS HAD NOISE THEN NOW WHEEL AXEL'S PROBLEMS SAME AS THE STRUTS FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT. THIS JUKE IS A LEMON AND I ASKED THE MANUFACTURER FROM THE FIRST REPAIR THAT IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS JUKE 2016. MANY CASE NUMBERS HAVE BEEN PLACED ON THIS VEHICLE FOR MAJOR REPAIRS. UNFORTUNATELY THE MANUFACTURER WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT OWN VEHICLE. SHAME ON YOU NISSAN NOT WORRIED IF YOUR CARS ARE NOT SAFE.
WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN YOU TURN THE WHEEL TO MAKE A TURN THE WHEEL STARTED GRINDING MAKING A CLICKING NOISE IT ALSO DID THE SAME CLICKING NOISE WHEN YOU BACKED OUT IN REVERSE. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN LESS THAN 80 DAYS OF NEW PURCHASE.
