Consumer Description
MY CAR HAS ENGINE FAILURE AT 2 YEARS OLD AND 72K MILES. I INITIALLY TOOK MY CAR TO NISSAN AT THE FATE AND MILEAGE LISTED ABOVE FOR A RATTLE IN THE ENGINE AREA. WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A NEW DRIVE BELT AND TENSIONER. THIS WAS A MISDIAGNOSIS. THE RATTLE GETS WORSE, DRIVE PERFORMANCE DECLINES, RAKE THE CAR BACK TO NISSAN ON 8/27. COMPRESSION TEST REVEALS TWO CYLINDERS AT OR BELOW MINIMUM SPECIFICATIONS. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE. MY OWN RESEARCH HAS REVEALS SEVERAL CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TIMING CHAIN IN THE 2011 JUKE. MANY FOLKS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ARE REPORTING THAT AT APPROXIMATELY THE SAME MILEAGE AS ME, THEIR CAR STARTS TO RATTLE AND WHEN THEY TAKE IT IN, THEY ARE TOLD THEY NEED A NEW ENGINE. MOST POINT TO THE TIMING CHAIN. MY SERVICE GUY WAS RELUCTANT TO BLAME THE TIMING CHAIN AND WOULD SAY ONLY THAT "SLUDGE" WAS PROBABLY THE CULPRIT. IT ISN'T. I REALLY HOPE THIS ISSUE IS BEING MONITORED. IT SEEMS MANY PEOPLE ARE HOPING FOR A RECALL SOON. *TT
