2011 NISSAN JUKE Complaints

NOTICED A NEW DENT YESTERDAY - THIS ADDED TO MANY OTHERS SINCE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW FROM DEALER ABOUT 2 AND HALF YEARS AGO. CONCERNED IF THE CAR IS ROAD SAFE GIVEN THE EXTERIOR BODY IS VERY PRUNE TO BE DINTED AND DENTED, WONDERING IF NISSAN CUT CORNER IN MATERIAL/QUALITY USED FOR THE EXTERIOR BODY. HAVE NOT SEEN ANY OTHER CARS HAVE A SUCH FRAGILE EXTERIOR BODY. *TR

FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG AND STATUS LIGHT INDICATOR MALFUNCTION: MY WIFE WEIGHTS ABOUT 105 POUNDS, WHEN SHE SITS ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASS AIR BAG OFF LIGHTS ILLUMINATES TO INDICATE THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF. THE AIRBAG SHOULD BE ON WITH HER WEIGHT. IT STARTS TO HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY SINCE A YEAR AGO. *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPER MALFUNCTION: 1. ISSUE IN INTERMITTENT MODE: WHEN TURN WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH TO INTERMITTENT MODE, NO MATTER TURN KNOB AT WHAT INTERMITTENT LEVEL, WIPER RUNS CONTINUOUSLY FOR 20 TO 30 SECONDS, AND THEN STOP FOR ABOUT 10 SEC, STARTS AGAIN FOR 20 SECS AND THEN STOP 10SEC, REPEAT LIKE THIS AT ANY INTERMITTENT LEVEL, 2. ISSUE IN LOW/HIGH CONTINUOUS MODE: WHEN TURN WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH TO EITHER SLOW / HIGH CONTINUOUS MODE, WIPERS RUNS CONTINUOUSLY FOR ABOUT 20 TO 30 SECONDS, AND THEN STOPS FOR ABOUT 10 SEC AND REPEAT LIKE THIS. #2 ISSUE HAS BEEN QUITE DANGEROUS ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO UNDER HEAVY RAIN, COULD BARELY SEE WHEN WIPER STOPS TO FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY. CALLED NISSAN AMERICA THIS MORNING AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL NOR SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS PROBLEM YET, . BOUGHT THE CAR ABOUT 2 AND HALF YEARS AGO FROM NISSAN DEALER. *TR

A CLICKING NOISE. DEALERSHIP SAID IT IS THE TIMING CHAIN. NISSAN DOES NOT CARE THAT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE TIMING CHAIN. I DO NOT HAVE 2,300.00 TO FIX IT BUT IF IT DOES NOT GET FIXED THEN YOU NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AS A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAD TO DO. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN JUKE. THE CONTACT STATED THE ENGINE FAILED AND THE BATTERY DRAINED EXCESSIVELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE WINDSHIELD MADE A SQUEAKING AND RATTLING NOISE WHEN DRIVING AND GOING OVER BUMPS. IT WAS ALMOST A CONSTANT SOUND. THE ENGINE WOULD IDLE AND SPUTTER, WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE CONSUMER ACCELERATED FROM THE LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED. IT WAS DETERMINED THE TIMING CHAIN SNAPPED AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE CRANK SPROCKET AND CHAIN. THE TIMES CHAINS, GUIDES, TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER AND CRANK SPROCKET WERE ALL REPLACED. THE VEHICLE STARTED BUT MIS-FIRED DUE TO THE VALVES BEING BENT. THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS THEN REPLACED, DUE TO DAMAGE TO THE VALVE GUIDES AND PISTON TOPS. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TO TOWED TO THE DEALER, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS EMITTING BLUE GRAYISH, COLORED SMOKE, AND THEN STALLED. UPDATED 06/18/14

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN JUKE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING BELT CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

SMELLING FUEL IN THE CAB WHILE DRIVING, NOTICED FUEL LEAKING. NISSAN SERVICE EXAMINED IT AND SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. THE SAME THING THAT WAS RECALLED BEFORE. VERY SERIOUS ISSUE IN MY OPINION. NISSAN SERVICE SAID IT WAS NO LONGER IN WARRANTY AND NO LONGER A RECALL. *TR

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DISABLED LIGHT COMES ON OCCASIONALLY EVEN WHEN MY DAUGHTER IS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. SHE IS APPROXIMATELY 100 POUNDS. IT SEEMS THAT THE LIGHT IS ON MORE THAN IT IS OFF, WHICH IS CONCERNING BECAUSE IN EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, IT WOULD MEAN THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN JUKE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER. AFTER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS FRACTURED AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO MALFUNCTION. THE DEALER STATED THE ENTIRE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT DID NOT HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18TH MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY 2011 NISSAN JUKE STARTED DECLINING IN SPEED, WHICH LEFT HER STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION REPAIR SHOP THINKING THE ISSUE HAD TO DO WITH A PREVIOUS ACCIDENT. COLLISION REPAIR SHOP PUTS IT ON A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND LET ME KNOW THAT THERE WERE TWO RECALLS CURRENTLY ON MY CAR, WHICH COULD POSSIBLY BE THE REASON FOR MY CAR STALLING. HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THAT THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE. WAITING ON DEALERSHIP TO CONTACT TO LET ME KNOW THE EXTENT OF REPAIRS NEEDED AND COST. THEY'VE OFFERED TO GET ME INTO ANOTHER CAR, BUT I WOULDN'T GET MUCH FOR MY CURRENT CAR AND WOULD BE UPSIDE DOWN ON MY CAR NOTE. *TR
