NHTSA Complaint #10861201 — 2012 NISSAN JUKE

PURCHASED THE 2012 NISSAN JUKE NEW. AT 80,000+/- WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED LOOSING POWER. THE RPM GAUGE WAS SENDING THE RPM'S OVER 8 EACH TIME THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CAR WAS TAKEN TO CLOSEST MECHANIC DUE TO THE ISSUE WHEN PLUGGED INTO THE MACHINE TO DETECT THE ISSUE IT READ A CODE INDICATING IT WAS A SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION. TOOK AUTO TO NISSAN DEALER NEXT DAY (OVER 50 MILES FROM HOUSE) FOR SERVICE WITH THE ISSUE. DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY COULD NOT OBTAIN THAT CODE AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS OVER FILLED. CAR CONTINUES TO DO THIS ON A WEEKLY SOMETIMES DAILY BASIS OF LOOSING POWER AND WHEN ACCELERATING NOT ALLOWING THE CAR TO GO FASTER AND CAUSING THE RPM'S GO UP AN PAST 8. SEVERAL VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP ALL THE WHILE THE DEALERSHIP WAS INDICATING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS TOO FULL OR TOO LOW AND NOT THE SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION. IN 2014 VEHICLE WAS BACK AND DEALERSHIP FOR SAME ISSUE AND WAS TOLD TO FIND WHAT WAS WRONG SINCE I HAD BEEN GIVEN ONLY ANSWERS OF LOW OR HIGH TRANSMISSION FLUID. DEALERSHIP CALLED AND INDICATED THAT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT NOW 128,000 +/- MILES (ALL HIGHWAY DUE TO DISTANCE TO WORK). I HAD STATED THAT I BROUGHT IT IN WHILE THE DRIVE TRAIN WAS STILL COVERED AND NOW THAT I AM PAST THOSE MILES I NEED A TRANSMISSION. DEALER STATED FOR ME TO DRIVE THE CAR IT WAS NOT DANGEROUS AND TO COME IN WHEN IT WAS DOING IT SO THEY COULD PULL A LIVE CODE AND THEN SEND THE TRANSMISSION BACK TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR THEM TO REPLACE THAT IS WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. CAR CONTINUES TO LOOSE POWER (WHEN GOING UP HILL OR DRIVING AGAINST A 10 MILE AN HOUR WIND) PLACING ANY PASSENGERS IN DANGER SINCE THIS WILL OCCUR DRIVING 70 MILES AN HOUR OR SLOWER AT ANY TIME. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE CVT ISSUE AND NEED TO REPAIR THE ISSUE FOR SAFETY AND NOT REPAIRING AT 80,000 MILES.
