2012 NISSAN JUKE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER WHILE DRIVING. THE CONSUMER IS REQUESTING NISSAN TO REVIEW THE CASE AND BE REIMBURSED OR COMPENSATED FOR THE DAMAGES OF THE VEHICLE.

Recently a strong gas smell in cabin after starting engine for the third time. After noticing the smell of gasoline a faulty fuel pressure sensor was serviced 12/2/2015. No charge at Puente Hills Nissan. Smell of gasoline again. $782.56 paid to Cerritos Nissan on 1/25/19. Although 2012 Nissan Jukes had a factory recall due to gasoline smell, I was told that my VIN number was not included.

The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Juke. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 MPH, a popping noise was heard coming from the front of the vehicle before the vehicle would no longer accelerate and began to decelerate. After stopping to inspect the vehicle, it was discovered that engine oil had leaked from the engine. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the timing chain had failed causing damage to the engine and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage 146,000.

Timing Chain: National Consumers reported my vehicle replaced the timing chain in 2018 prior to my ownership. Now it has failed again to the tune of $3K at 88K miles. The Nissan Dealership will only guarantee warranty for 1yr or 12k miles which seems sub par. How can a voluntary recall on the timing chain only be effective up to 2014 when obviously it seems to be a problem with the whole engine design. I will not drop $3k every 3-4 years to replace a part that should last longer than a belt or at the minimum of 120k miles if not the life of the car. I’m asking the National Consumers hotline to open another recall on this lemon. The additional issues are the car not starting, after replacing 2 good batteries within 2 years, an independent mechanic replace a relay between the brake and the ignition and it...

WHEN TRAVELING IN THE JUKE ESPECIALLY WITH THE WINDOW DOWN A BIT THERE IS A CONSTANT WAVE OF HEAT COMING UP FROM THE FLOOR AREA BEHIND THE CENTER CONSOLE. THE HEAT IS ENOUGH TO MAKE YOUR LEGS SWEAT. UPON FINDING THE SOURCE I BURNT MY FINGER ON A PIPE THAT IS BEHIND THE CONSOLE WITH NOW INSULATION OR WRAPPING. IT MAKES THE JUKE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE AS IT'S ALWAYS HOT. I ALSO FEEL THERE SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED PARTS THAT CAN BURN. DEALER SAID THEY CONTACTED NISSAN BUT IT HAS BEEN 3 WEEKS AND NO RESPONSE FROM DEALER OR NISSAN. *TR
